[Solved] Python CGI - how to "include" like in PHP

Hi.
When I code PHP I like to use this template system. A short instance would consist of 2 files: "index.php" and "template.php".
template.php:
<?php
echo "<h1>$header</h1>";
echo "<p>$text</p>";
?>
index.php:
<?php
$header = "this is a header";
$text = "this is a text";
include "template.php";
?>
So I can use one template for lots of pages - same layout but different vars.
I cannot find how to do this in Python CGI.
page.cgi:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, cgi
x = "This is the page text."
eval(open('template.cgi').read())
template.cgi
print("Content-type: text/html\n")
print(x)
This gives me error 500. I am not surprised, this mail.python.org page says:
> I can't figure out how one would approach this in Python (i'm using
> mod_python). There's no equivalent to the "include" function from
> PHP.
Correct, the concept doesn't exist because you are working
with vanilla CGI rather than server scripting.
But maybe there is a way to make something similar?

Template (index.html.tpl)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<title>Main Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<style>
h1 {{
margin: auto;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Admin</h1>
<ul>
<li><a href="{}">Monthly Report</a></li>
<li><a href="{}">Inventory Zip Files</a></li>
<li><a href="{}">Order Reports</a> -- Last 7 days</li>
<li><a href="{}">Notes/TODO/Information</a></li>
<li><a href="{}">EDI Orders</a></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
index.py :
#!/usr/bin/env python2
def main():
template = "index.html.tpl"
pages = ("monthly", "zips", "reports", "vimwiki", "edi.py")
sitename = "/"
pages = ["{}{}".format(sitename, pages) for i in pages]
tpl = "".join(open(template,'r').readlines())
print 'Content-type: text/html\n\n' + tpl.format(*pages)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Maybe not the best way...but it works for me Notice the double {{ }} in the template where you want literal brackets, not placeholders.

[Solved][Python 3] How to center tkinter window?

Hi.
I need to center window on the screen. The window that already has some contents like labels and buttons. Found this code snippet on Stack Overflow:
w = root.winfo_screenwidth()
h = root.winfo_screenheight()
rootsize = tuple(int(_) for _ in root.geometry().split('+')[0].split('x'))
x = w/2 - rootsize[0]/2
y = h/2 - rootsize[1]/2
root.geometry("%dx%d+%d+%d" % (rootsize + (x, y)))
but it doesn't work. It gives me centered window with no width or height when it has some size if I don't use this snippet. What is wrong in this code?
Last edited by Mr. Alex (2012-09-27 08:38:18)

I think the main thing wrong with your code is you were asking for the window size before TK had decided what it should be. Your code works in the interactive interpreter if you run it line by line, but not if you run it all at once.
I adapted some code of my own for you:
from tkinter import Tk
from tkinter.ttk import Label
root = Tk()
Label(root, text="Hello world").pack()
# Apparently a common hack to get the window size. Temporarily hide the
# window to avoid update_idletasks() drawing the window in the wrong
# position.
root.withdraw()
root.update_idletasks() # Update "requested size" from geometry manager
x = (root.winfo_screenwidth() - root.winfo_reqwidth()) / 2
y = (root.winfo_screenheight() - root.winfo_reqheight()) / 2
root.geometry("+%d+%d" % (x, y))
# This seems to draw the window frame immediately, so only call deiconify()
# after setting correct window position
root.deiconify()
I think it does what you want, although I have two screens side by side so the window is actually split between the two.

I would like to know how to include entries in my TOC that refer to paragraph styles that a before the TOC.

I would like to know how to include entries in my TOC that refer to paragraph styles listed before the TOC.
Example:
page i. Title Page
page ii. Abstract
page iii. Table of Contents
I want the TOC on page iii to include the entries "title page" and "abstract". Is this possible?
Thank you-

Thesis formatting rules.
Can you answer another question?
How do I change the text for a TOC entry? For example,
I have selected the title on my first page, for example "Summer Report" and selected a paragraph style for it, and added it in the TOC. Now the TOC will have this entry for "Summer Report" and the associated page. But I want it to say "Title Page" instead. Can I edit this text? In order words, have the TOC point to something with whatever name I want to give it, even though it is not the actual name of the section?

Hi,
I read the wiki pages how to create packages for the AUR,

Cx_oracle objects in python cgi session

Hi,
I am trying some web pages using python cgi and using cx_oracle for data retrieval.
The page fetches many records and I wanted to display 10 records only at once.
So I tried to save the cx_oracle connection obj and cursor object in session variable. but session variable is not supporting to save those variables. :(
How do you guys do this? I dont want to connect and disconnect database every time. any method of doing this?
I am new to web programming, but good in pl/sql.
thanks
~Gouri

This isn't possible with a stateless web model in your scenario. Even with a web-savvy language like PHP which allows "persistent connections" you have to re-execute the query each time you "page". This will see any new data other users have inserted.
You'll need to rethink how the application will be used to see if the paging model will be OK.
Also make sure the infrastructure can cope with frequent connections. (PHP with Oracle 11g connection pooling is a good alternative)

How to include SCOM R2 agent in server image (or vmware template)

Can anybody tell me how to include the SCOM R2 agent in our Windows images/templates? For the SCCM client, it is as simple as stopping the service on the reference machine, deleting the cert, and capturing. I can find no good answer on the Internets on whether the SCOM agent has some sort of unique ID that doesn't like being "duplicated".
Any help would be appreciated. (I'd rather NOT include scripted tasks or steps that install the agent AFTER an image is deployed).
My RMS is configured to auto-accept agent registrations.

Hi, I'm looking to do the same. I created a template with the agent installed; however, I still left the server (W2012 R2) in 'workgroup'. When loading and configuring the agent, I didn't get any error message since the raw server can communicate
with the management server nor have I received a 'pending approval' on the mgmt server.
I like the idea of having this pre-configured and ensuring SCOM properly detects and monitors new server additions since checklists are not followed.
Thanks.

How to include field in document header

Dear All,
Any one please give me some input on how to include a field in document header of f-02 .
Thanks,
Srini.

Hi,
You will have to modify the screen via SE51 (program SAPMF05A, screen 100). Ask to your ABAP team to help you, though such a modification should be carefully considered.
By the way, is it a user-defined field or field that should be there and is just missing? If the last is true, it could be a bug and solved by relevant OSS correction.

How to include ratings in contact sheets in Bridge CS4??

I'm trying to find out how to include my ratings and labels in a contact sheet, to share that with someone who is not going to use Bridge but ideally just a PDF. Is that at all possible? Thanks!

Is that at all possible?
To my knowledge not in the AOM settings, the options inhere are still a bit limited. But you can use the sort order for rating and in combination with batch rename you could be a bit creative by adding a mark like 1 star or 2 stars to the filename for the selected files. Or use same rated files per page.

How to include custom application.xml in JDev9i project

Can anybody explain to me how to include a custom application.xml file when deploying to an .ear file? I need to include application wide security roles, and I can't see where in Jev9i how to do this.
After searching this forum, I see that jdev9i can't include the orion-application.xml, but I want to include just the standard J2EE application.xml. Is this possible?
Thanks,
matt

The standard application.xml file unfortunately can't be customized in JDev 9.0.2. The reasons why this capability was left out of JDev 9.0.2 are same reasons why the other EAR-level XML files were excluded. The OTN thread
Re: Regarding 11i and E-business suite
has a summary of those reasons, which you've probably seen. We know this is an area in need of improvement and will be adding this functionality in the JDev 9.0.3 release. Until then, you'll have to go with a work-around like an Ant build file, batch file, Java application, or some other kind of script.
Below is a sample Java application which can be used to insert <security-role> elements into an EAR file's application.xml. Modify the main() method to customize for your purposes, and put xmlparserv2.jar on the classpath (in a JDev project, add the "Oracle XML Parser v2" library):

How to include 0STOCK_VAL in a Query based on APO DataSource?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to include *0STOCK_VAL" from Inventory to the APO InfoCube. But the problem with this is, this particular KeyFigure is not present in the APO hence it cannot be included in the APO DataSource i.e. we cannot get this from the Source System.
I checked the Production system, 0STOCK_VAL InfoObject is avaiable in one of the InfoCube but it is not present in any DSO's. Since it is not present in any of the DSO's we cannot write a Routine to read it from any of the table.
I even thought of including the InfoCube where 0STOCK_VAL is present into a MultiProvider along with the APO InfoCube. I can define the joining condition based on Plant and Material. But if I drill down any other characteristics which are not common in both the InfoCube then we will have a blank line in the Query which is not recommended.
But this KeyFigure is very much needed in the Query.
My question is how to include this in the APO InfoCube or How to get this in the Query with values??
Can anybody please help me on this.
Thanks in advance.
Prasapbi

hi Matt,
In your example like a transaction was paid for with a payment type of PTAM, then you need all the transaction details. I suppose that all the required transaction details along with payment type PTAM will be loaded into an infoprovider and you run a report on top of this infoprovider. Then for that report you need to have a selection screen variable for Payment Type and if the user enters the payment type PTAM, then he can get all the other transaction details from the infoprovider.
Let me know if i don't understand the requirement correctly.
Hope it helps....

How to include md5 package in application

Hi All,
First of all sorry I posted in another users thread. In the thread http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5426671 the person used org.bouncycastle.crypto.digests.MD5Digest for doing md5.
I need some help here on how you include the org.bouncycastle.crypto.digests.MD5Digest library in my java code as I want to use the md5.
I am also working on something similar like that but without the web application part and a detail which consists on OTP part using md5.
As the md5() doesn't work in j2me so was also searching for something which will work on MIDP.

Camellia,
I take you already added bouncycatsle to your project as a compile dependency, since it compiles (unless it does not).
All you have to do for your code to work on the phone, you need to build your JAR file (that you use to distribute your MIDlet) with bouncycastle packaged in. This will all depend on the method you use to build your JAD and JAR files.
I use antenna tool, which provides me with ant tasks to compile, build jar, package external libraries etc. Your scenario can be different, but all you have to do is to search manuals and/or google for methods on how to package external libraries with your build.

How to include user_sequences in a dbms_datapump procedure

how to include user_sequences in a dbms_datapump procedure
hi,
i have a procedure to move all tables from MYSCHEMA_1 to MYSCHEMA_2 over a db_link
using dbms_datapump ;
That works fine
but i need to copy the user_ sequences too.
a detail if my procedure looks like this :
## create Job in TABLE-Mode :
job_handle := dbms_datapump.open (
     operation      => 'IMPORT'
,job_mode => 'TABLE'
,remote_link           => p_database_link
,job_name      => vjob_name
## exclude same Tables:
dbms_datapump.metadata_filter (
     handle          =>     job_handle,
     name          =>     'NAME_EXPR',
     value          =>     'NOT IN (''TABLE_EXC_1'', ''TABLE_EXC_2'' , ''TABLE_EXC_3'' )'
I found this to work with plain EXPDB :
EXPDB INCLUDE=SEQUENCE: in ('SEQ','SEQ2') INCLUDE=TABLE: in ('TABLE','TABLE2')
How to include user_sequences when working with dbms_datapump - API,
maybe working with dbms_datapump.metadata_filter ?

HI,
you are right,
to include SEQUENCES and other Objects like VIEW or FUNCTION
does only work in SCHEMA-Mode
But the next problem is
when want to refresh the dump
I can refresh the tables only
dbms_datapump.set_parameter(
handle      => job_handle,
name      => 'TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION',
value      => 'REPLACE'
not the other objects like SEQUENCE or FUNCTION
found in OracleSupport Note 1323411.1
would nice to have a parameter OBJECT_EXISTS_ACTION in future
