Python script integration in SCOM - Example needed?

Hello,
I've been googling around a lot looking for an example of Python script integrated with SCOM. I understood that is possible, but I only find example for PowerShell or VisualBasic (for instance here >> http://opsit.blogspot.hk/2013/11/scom-scripting-basics.html
). This link looks great for what I need, but it's not coded in Python.. :-(
I'm not a native programmer so I'm struggling in reading VisualBasic/PowerShell code and trying to understand how to do the same in Python. Even a simple example of Python+SCOM integration would be of great help in understanding how it works in terms
of libraries to include and input/output between the systems.
Can you point me towards any example of Python+SCOM integration?
Thanks in advance.
W.

Hi,
I would prefer to rewrite your library in Powershell as it is fully supported by SCOM and you also get Powershell Know-How which is always fine :).
A good starting point is always the Python Developers Guide to Powershell ;)
http://mohd-akram.github.io/2013/05/16/a-python-developers-guide-to-powershell
Please find below some Articles about Invoke-Restmethod in Powershell:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849971.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2013/10/21/invokerestmethod-for-the-rest-of-us.aspx
Update: If you want to keep you Python Script you still could write a Wrapper Function for it in Powershell:

Need help running a Python script when DVD inserted

We had an intern that created a custom Python script to rip our old event recording DVDs back to a digital format. The script creates a JSON description file and asks a set of questions to create the metadata in the JSON file (e.g. Date of event).
The way the intern set this up was that you'd click on the Python script which would open a terminal window where you fill in the metadata. It then asks if the DVD is in the computer. At this point you place the DVD in. A few seconds later, the Python script notices the DVD and proceeds to rip the DVD at our specific file size requirements along with the inputted metadata.
We then upgraded the Mac from Mountain Lion to Lion and the script stopped working. Our intern has since left. I have now moved the Python script onto my Mountain Lion Mac. The intern's last message to me was that he had written an AppleScript that ran when the DVD was inserted which then referred to the Python script. The intern has since stopped replying to emails.
This is a very important project that I would like to continue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

well, oddly, that should never have worked.
Try this: open the applescript editor, copy in the following line:
tell application "Terminal"
do script "python /Users/medialab/dvddrip rename"
activate
end tell
Save it, making sure that the 'File Format' pull down says Script (the new file will have a '.scpt' extension). You'll be able to select that file in the cd/dvd preferences.
I assumed that you wanted this to open in terminal so that you can enter options on the command line. If that's not correct, let me know.

Need help with python script for Deluge

I am using Deluge 1.3.2 with web server, and all works fine, I use this script in the Deluge settings to execute upon torrent completion:
#!/bin/bash
torrentid=$1
torrentname=$2
torrentpath=$3
torrenttimedelta=`/usr/bin/python2 /home/bobby/scripts/deluge/torrentTimeDelta.py $1`
subject="Started download new torrent!"
message="$torrentname to $torrentpath"
echo -e `date`"::Finished downloading torrent:$2 in: $3" with id:$torrentid >> ~/logs/scripts.log
echo -e `sendEmail -t [email protected] -f [email protected] -u "deluge server notification: torrent $torrentname is complete!" -m "$torrentname has completed downloading at: $torrentpath and took $torrenttimedelta to complete :)" -xu [email protected] -xp password -v -o tls=yes -s email.com` >> ~/logs/scripts.log
echo ---------------------------------------- >> ~/logs/scripts.log
This is to email me when a torrent is done and works. What I wanted to add to this email was the time taken to complete the torrent. I have gotten help from Deluge forum in this thread: http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop … =9&t=36989 However I think it's something with Python within Arch that is the obstacle, and so that helpful person can't do much more IMO. The python script I'm using is:
#!/usr/bin/python2
from deluge.ui.client import client
from twisted.internet import reactor
d = client.connect()
def on_connect_success(result):
print "Connection was successful!"
def on_get_torrent_value(value):
for torrent in value:
print "%s: %s" % (torrent, value[torrent]["name"])
client.disconnect()
reactor.stop()
client.core.get_torrents_status({}, ["name"]).addCallback(on_get_torrent_value)
d.addCallback(on_connect_success)
def on_connect_fail(result):
print "Connection failed!"
print "result:", result
d.addErrback(on_connect_fail)
reactor.run()
Now if I call this from shell directly, it works. However, including it with my email script at the top, Deluge itself freezes and no email is sent. I run ps aux | grep deluge and I can see that the script has run, but apparently died and all is just hanging. I kill the script process and Deluge resumes just fine, the email is sent. Kinda confused how to remedy this, appreciate any help Thanks
P.S. When I get the email, the part that says ""$torrentname has completed downloading at: $torrentpath and took $torrenttimedelta to complete "" shows nothing where $torrenttimedelta should be, it just says "and took to complete"

[edit] Sorry, I don't use deluge and I messed up my test script. If the script is executable try `/home/bobby/scripts/deluge/torrentTimeDelta.py $1`
Are there any other errors? or try running bash with debug output to see if it will tell you something else
The problem you are having is bash doesn't recognize variables inside the tick marks.
Hope that helps

Python script in dasylab using single input multiple output

Hello
For a project, I would like to use the python scripting module of dasylab 13. I got it to work for simple functions such as y=f(x), where i have one input and one output.
The next step in order to get to where i want to be with my script is using a single input and generating two outputs.
I defined it in the "predefined settings" that pops up first. The module created looked as it should, having one input and two outputs. However, when I wanted to edit the script (and double clicked the module) the module went back to having one input and one output.
I searched the help and found the section "channel assignment constants". There describe the various constants, which should have been set in predefined settings. In my case it is CR_1_2.
It also states to setup the meta data in the SetupFifo tab.
Now here is my problem: How should i change the SetupFifo tab?
I tried the command:
self.SetChannelRelation(channel_no, Ly.CR_1_2)
Unfotunately this didn't work, which doesn't supprise me, as I made this command up, based on the examples in the help file on the SetupFifo tab. Those are, however, for SetChannelFlags and SetChannelType, which I don't think I need yet...
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I also installed a trial version on another computer to check if it works there (it doesn't).
Or does someone know a method to find out how to be able to change inputs and outputs the way i want?
Every help will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Jarno

You do not need to set the channel relation for "simple" channel relation like 1:2, 2:1, etc.
Just set the relation you want in the configration dialog that open when you drop a script module into to worksheet.
The channel relation and their python constants have nothing to do with the amount of inputs and outputs of a script module.
The channel relation tells the "DASYLab core" how to guide meta data (channel names, units, etc) through a module.
In function "DlgInit" you have to tell DASYLab how many inputs and outputs your module should have.
Your module should have 2 outputs for each input: this combination of input and outputs is called a "channel".
Because one channel has 2 outputs, the module can have max. 8 channels only.
The dialog with the channelbar "thinks" in channels, but DASYLab "thinks" in connectors (connectors are inputs/outputs).
So, you are responsible to translate "channels" in "connectors" and vice versa
In DlgInit you can ask DASYLab about the amount of inputs and outputs.
self.NumInChannel <-- amout of connectors on modules left side
self.NumOutChannel <-- amount of connectors on the right side
self.DlgNumChannels <-- amount of activated channels in the dialog (something between 1 and DlgMaxChannels)
Your module's channels have 1 input, 2 outputs each, so you can write either
self.DlgNumChannels = self.NumOutChannel / 2
or
self.DlgNumChannels = self.NumInChannel
If the module has 3 input and 6 outputs, the dialog will get 3 channels.
In DlgOk you need to translate the amount of channels into the correct amount of connectors (inputs/outputs):
For "one channel = 1 input + 2 outputs" this is:
self.SetConnectors( self.DlgNumChannels, self.DlgNumChannels * 2 )
DlgInit
self.DlgNumChannels = self.NumInChannel
# or: self.DlgNumChannels = self.NumOutChannel / 2
self.DlgMaxChannels = 8 # or Ly.MAX_CHANNELS/2
DlgOk
self.SetConnectors( self.DlgNumChannels, self.DlgNumChannels * 2 )

Running python script with system arguments from applescript

Hi,
I am trying to run a python code from within applescript. A string should be passed as an argument to the python script, i.e. from the terminal, I would do the following
cd /Users/thatsme/Library/Scripts/myfolder
python my_python_file.py abcdefg
There are two ways I figure I could do this in applescript. "abcdefg" are contained in the variable strNote
a) directly:
do shell script "cd /Users/thatsme/Library/Scripts/myfolder; python my_python_file.py " & strNote
b) calling Terminal
tell application "Terminal"
activate
          do script "cd /Users/claushaslauer/Library/Scripts/OO_latex; python my_python_file.py " & strNote
end tell
I would prefer option a) as I don't really want to have Terminal windows popping up. The strange thing is, that I see in the applescript results window the result of the print statements in the python script, but no output is generated (the python script contains a few os.system() commands.
Option b) does what it is supposed to be doing, however, applescript does not wait until the script is finished running.
Why does option a) nor work, and what do I need to change to make it work?

Thank you guys for your help, this is really weird.
Here is my full applescript
set strNoteQ to "1+1=2"
(* for whatever reason, this does not work *)
do shell script "cd /Users/claushaslauer/Library/Scripts/OO_latex; python create_latex_pdf.py " & strNoteQ
Below is my python skript.
When I call it as
     python create_latex_pdf.py 1+1=2
it creates a wonderful pdf.
With the applescript above, it prints the print statements, it also generates the latex file temp.tex -- correctly, so I assume the string in this example is ok.
However, it does not execute the latex related commands (the three os.system calls)
Is it not a good idea / not possible to execute os.system in a python script that is called from applescript? <sorry if I had brought all the attention to the string issue>
here is the python script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sys
import os
import datetime
import time
def main():
    str_latex_note = sys.argv[1]
    print "%s" % str_latex_note
    preamble = """\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\pagestyle{empty}
\\begin{document}
{\huge
%s
\end{document}"""% (str_latex_note)
    ## write latex file
    cur_path = r'/Users/mypath/Library/Scripts/OO_latex'
    cur_file = "temp.tex"
    fobj = open(os.path.join(cur_path, cur_file), 'w')
    fobj.writelines(preamble)
    fobj.close()
    ## process latex file
    print cur_path
    os.chdir(cur_path)
    cmd = 'latex temp.tex'
    print cmd
    print "running latex"
    os.system(cmd)
    cmd2 = 'dvips -E -f -X 1200 -Y 1200 temp.dvi > temp.ps'
    print "running dvips"
    os.system(cmd2)
    cmd3 = 'epstopdf temp.ps'
    print "running epstopdf"
    os.system(cmd3)
    print "done!"

I am new to this community. Need some inputs for following Questions
Questions:
1) How can I call python script from LabView?
(Basically this python script calls some other DLL and print some message, to run the script using Python net in my application .To run my script in python net using following commands: import python script name )
2) In how many ways we can call Python scripts from labview?
I have tried with this option "System Exec.vi "in labview , able to calling pythonnet but unable to send commands and arguments to run python script(i.e import python script name ).
If anyone have samples".VI " please send to me. If you people want any information and clarification from my side please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Regards,

One way is to create a client server app and to send arguments to python (and back) over TCP/IP. This work very well.
There is an example on the old OpenG Website about this. Look it up.
Python client to LabVIEW Server.

Passing arguments to and running a Python script

I have a Python script that I am creating a Java GUI for. How can I call this python script from within Java? I need to pass three arguments to the script, each one a string. Are Jepp / Jython what I need to use? Any tips for an absolute beginner at Java / Python integration?

Yes, after you create the PythonInterpreter, you can just call set on it and those objects are then directly accessible in the jython scripts. To run blocks of code, I've been doing something like
//after initialize and set interpreter vars
PyObject locals = pythonInterpreter.getLocals();
PyCode code = Py.compile_flags(source, filename, "exec", null);
Py.exec(code, locals, locals);Note though that this was on Jython 2.1 or 2.2 a while back, so you might have a newer version with maybe not exactly the same method calls.

Run Python Script in Automator

I have a python script (which was written for me), and I would like to make it so that the script executes every x minutes. I know this should be simple to do, but I can't figure it out.

Python script to parse 'iwlist scan' into a table

Hi,
I've written a small python script that parses the output of the command "iwlist interface scan" into a table.
Why ?
Like many arch linux users I think, I use netcfg instead of something like network manager or wicd. So the most natural way to scan for wifi networks in range is iwlist scan. But the output of this command is huge and I find it difficult to retrieve information. So this script parses it into a table : one network, one line.
Example output
Name Address Quality Channel Encryption
wifi_1 01:23:45:67:89:AB 100 % 11 WPA v.1
wifi_2 01:23:45:67:89:AC 76 % 11 WEP
wifi_3 01:23:45:67:89:AD 51 % 11 Open
wifi_4 01:23:45:67:89:AE 50 % 11 WPA v.1
wifi_5 01:23:45:67:89:AF 43 % 4 Open
wifi_6 01:23:45:67:89:AG 43 % 4 WPA v.1
Details
It reads from stdin so you use it like that: iwlist wlan0 scan | iwlistparse.py
The width of the columns is determined by what's in it.
You can easily do a bit more than just parsing the info: in the example above, the quality has been calculated to percents from a ratio (e.g. 46/70).
It is sorted, too.
Customization
It's python so it's easy to customize. See the comments in the code.
Code

main()
I hope you find it useful. Please report bugs, I haven't tested it a lot. You may have to customize it though, because I think not all iwlist scan outputs are the same. Again, see comments, it should be easy.

This tool is very helpfull. I am trying to add a new function to the existing code to parse the signal level parameter from the output of iwlist wlan0 scan, but I am getting lot of issues .Since I am new to python script can anyone help me to extract the signal level also from the scan put put.
The parametr to be used is Signal level=-44 dBm ,I am trying to create a one more column with Signal level and print its out in the table.
Example:-
Signal level
-44db
The error I am getting

Could some pls help me to solve this issue

Call an ABAP program or a function module from command prompt/python script

Dear All,
I want to call a function module/ABAP program from command prompt or a python script.
Let me explain with an example.
There is a function module "z_add" that takes two integers as input parameters and generates their sum.
the sum is the output parameter.
Now i want to call this function module from command prompt / python script and pass parameters to this function module.
In return i must get the sum(i.e. the output of function module).
I tried using STARTRFC ,was able to call the FM but could not get the return value(output) from FM.
Can you please provide me the code of such a function module and the method to call it thereby passing parameters and getting the sum.
Thanks and regards,
Gaurav

it is not working and i cannot work out why...
i have not been ABAPing for very long but have had a go....
any thoughts as to what i have done wrong?
or point me where i should be looking? thank you!

Include python script inside an app

Hi all, I'm writing an applescript app which should use a python script.
how can I include the script inside the apple and have it called by the applescript?
Thank you!

Now, is there a way to let the user choose both the output file directory and the output file name (out.iso)?
To get the filename, add this after the code to select the directory:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #E6E6EE;
overflow: auto;">
set outPutName to text returned of (display dialog "Now, please enter a filename:" default answer "out" with title "Enter Filename") & ".iso"</pre>
But you need to remove "quoted form of the" from dirOutput.
Also, "set dirOutput to POSIX path of the dirOut" is not needed.
so, this should work:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #E6E6EE;
overflow: auto;">
set dirOut to (POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt "Scegli la posizione in cui salvare il file convertito"))
set outPutName to text returned of (display dialog "Now, please enter a filename:" default answer "out" with title "Enter Filename") & ".iso"
if outPutName is ".iso" then set outPutName to "out.iso" -- simple error check for blank name
if outPutName contains "/" then set outPutName to "out.iso" -- simple error check for bad charater in name
set fullPathOut to quoted form of (dirOut & outPutName)
</pre>

Calling Python Script from LabVIEW

Hello Everyone,
I want to call the Python script from LabVIEW.
I tried with using at the command line but i am unable to run that script file..
i have gone through LabPython but i am unable to call the scripts from there also..
If someone has an example of a VI which invokes a python script, it will be very helpful...
Thanks a lot in advance
Regards

Can you descriobe your restriction(s) concerning "invoke the script at the command prompt"? There may be ways around that.

Python Script to Generate MySQL Stored Routines

Here is a quick Python script that reads a MySQL scheme (database) and for each table, it generates Insert, Update, Get and Delete stored routines. The script is just a "quick-n-dirty" script, but it does take into account that the Update, Get and Delete routines need to key off the primary key (and if there's not one, there could be trouble!). Each stored routine is output into a separate file.
I'm attaching the script so you professional Python people can tell me where I could improve the script with respect to simplicity, readability, cleanliness, etc.
I have NOT yet got the command line parameters added to this script, but plan to soon.

I found and fixed a bug with some misplaced parenthesis that forced the path to be made all lower-case. This was a bad thing if the path had some upper case letters in it!

Python script named in output of ps -u user

Does anyone here know how I can have a Python script report it's name in the output of "ps -u user", instead of just showing up as "Python"?
Reason I'm asking is that I just found this nifty little menu program called pytmenu on the Ubuntu forums, and I want it to start in the center of my screen. Problem is, I'm using Evilwm, so I can do it either with switches passed to Evilwm or Devil's Pie, but I need to know the programs name to do it. Passing "Python" as the name will probably not get me the results I want.

oh. also.. if you want to change the process name from within python..
