General :: Can PATH Statement Be Used With Python In Ubuntu 9.10?
Oct 10, 2010
On Ubuntu 9.10 I installed Python 3.1.1 successfully with Synaptic Package Manager. However the Python interpreter cannot find my scripts, currently in /home/dave/pycode. This appends _temporarily_ but python remains clueless about location of my scripts. Searched Internet and some speak of .rc or .bashrc or .profile..files. Found some of these and opened with Komodo : they are Linux script files and I am clueless as to how to modify.Currently I can import my scripts only if I change to the /pycode dir before running.Lutz's Python book says to change PATH file - Ha .Sobell's "A practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux" is no help. Ubuntu's own on line help is worth less than a fart in a hurricane. Ubuntu's gedit would not even open bash.bashrc.
I have multiple drives and software that defaults to my primary drive. I want to change preferences to use my second drive.This is the current path "/home/guy/dvdrip-data" my second drive is named "2Internal".How do I properly format the path statement to use the second drive?
I'm trying to write a script in python to extract data from maillogs in gz format. I wrote a shell script but i now want to do this in python, as thats the preferred method where i work. anyway does anyone know how to specify directory paths for example the maillogs exist in /var/log so i want the script to go to that directory would LOG_DIR="/var/log/" work?
I am running Debian Squeeze, 64-bit.I would like to try my hand at bash scripting. So at the author's suggestion (first chapter of Chris F. A. Johnson, Pro Bash Scripting from apress) I created a /bin directory in my home directory. So now I would like to modify my PATH statement so that when I run a script from my bin directory my shell will find it.I did that. He then says that I should add this to ".bash_profile, .bashrc, or .profile depending on how bash is invoked." The find command is unable to locate any of these files. So I searched the forum, found the link above and tried to follow that. No luck so I assume that how Debian handles PATH statements has changed since that post?
I also have checked the wiki and worked Google as hard as I know how to do.Very simply where the heck is my PATH statement and how do I modify it?
I have been trying to install the NumPy package for Python on to my home directory, as I run as part of a server and do not have permissions to install new packages in the Linux server.
I have set up Python in my home directory, and have configured ~/.bash_profile to find my local Python (which works, confirmed by testing).
However, when I attempt to install the NumPy package, I get the message error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.6': Permission denied Which I find strange because I do not see why it would need to install files anywhere except my local Python directory.
how I might be able to specify the directory in which files are installed?
How do I set the PYTHONPATH for the root user only? Or at least add to the python path for the root user? I need to read from the /var/log/apache2/access.log in my python script, so I need to use sudo for my script to be able to read from it.I tried setting the PYTHONPATH in /root/.bashrc but that didn't work. I don't want to use a .pth file because I don't want the directory to be on the path for all users due to import collisions.
When I run openshot it spits out this: Code: Added /usr/share/openshot to system path OpenShot (version 1.0.0) *** ERROR: MLT Python bindings failed to import *** *** ERROR: MLT Python bindings failed to import *** Error: OpenShot has not been installed in the Python path. (Both the site-packages and /usr/share/openshot folders were checked)
Use the following command to install OpenShot: $ sudo python setup.py install Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 525, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/share/openshot/classes/thumbnail.py", line 174, in run mlt.Factory().init() NameError: global name 'mlt' is not defined
We are building our C++ project in Kdevelop IDE. Every time we run "Run Configure" from the "Build" menu, a file named "libtool" gets automatically generated. This file contains a statement as "ECHO="echo"".f we run "Automake", without modifying the "libtool" the system hangs and theputer needs to be restarted.Therefore every time we run "Run Configure" we need to include the line "echo="echo"" below the statement "ECHO="echo"" manually.I think a script can be written which does the above on its own.I am not a shell script programmer, I know the good tutorials for shell scripts are available on the net, but learning scripting only for this task would be time-consuming and painful.
I have just installed SABnzb application in my home folder. The executable file is SABnzb.py When I run the command in the Konsole # python SABnzb.py I have this Quote: python: can't open file 'SABnzbd.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
in ubuntu 10.10, I have installed python 2.7. I would like to use apt-get to install packages to this version of python but I haven't been able to figure out howThings I have tried without success:changing the symlink at /usr/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python2.7 - even after doing this apt-get still installs stuff to python2.6.Set up python2.7 as the primary alternative using update-alternatives - doesn't work
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?
Experimenting with shell variables, accidentally deleted the path variable how could I return to the original path value. What kinds of problems will I have if I don't have a path variable.
I have a path c:windowsackup I need this string to be changed into /windows/back/up I used the command -bash-3.00$ echo windackup | sed 's/\//g' but the output is windbackup
prefix=user@my-server: find . -depth -type d -name .git -printf '%h�' | while read -d "" path ; do ( cd "$path" || exit $?
[code]....
How shall i go about changing the absolute path to relative path, so that /home/git/mirror/android/adb/ndk.git gets converted to /mirror/android/adb/ndk.git //echo <command> "$prefix$PWD.git" ?? - anything for relative path?
the script below prints the pwd of where I want to be. after the fi it puts me back at the original dir. just writing these scripts to understand what's going on.
#! /bin/bash if [ -d mydir ] then cd mydir/ && pwd fi
I want to have the System Bell ring when a process is over say a download. First I created a file named 'beep' that plays the System Bell. Because the System Bell rings by hitting cntrl-G the 'beep' file looks like this.
Code:
echo ^G
I then give the file owner execute permission. I know that this command would serve my purpose.
Code:
[URL]
However I want to sharpen my Bash programming skills. I wanted to write the Bash script along the following logic and with the fewest lines possible. Not really a script, I want to insert this short script via command line instead of a file. Let's say the download has commenced and the PID = 16666.
Code:
until ps -p 16666 do /root/beep done
Now obviously 'ps -p 16666' will already evaluate to true. My question is, is there a way to maybe enclose 'ps -p 16666' and prepend some operator that inverts the condition to where until 'ps -p 16666' evaluates to false then run /root/beep?
I need to to write a bash script using an If...Then...Else statement that will accept a day of the week from the command line what do I do or where do I go.
I am facing problem with the following script. Could you please look into this.echo 'Enter Staging number' case $STGNUM in
1) for i in {'stg1-greg','stg1-marsha','stg1-peter','stg1-jan','stg2-greg','stg2-marsha','stg2-peter','stg2-jan'};do echo $i; ssh $i sudo -u dev /opt/usr/apps/workflow/stopwf.sh;done;
I am trying to create a "GUI File Transfer " Application , for transferring the files within the network. For That I will obtain User name, Password through the GUI, I will have to append username and password in a single line and run it . I am facing difficulties in exploring the "command",
right now i'm doing a find . -type d -iname "z*" to find all folders who's name starts with z or Z.
Is there a way I could with one command find all folders who's name starts with the letters M through Z, without having to do the same command over and over and just changing the letter each time?
Notice the extra" file size" lines in there? What's causing that? I'm trying to learn more bash skills. I have no experience with awk because I have been unable to understand it's basic necessity. But I thought maybe if I try it with some test scripts I might become more interested in using it more and expand my very limited capabilities.
I am trying to use sed command to repalce one string with other but somehow replacement string contains forwards slash hence getting the error statement garbled!
Im a bit stuck with a simple script that im practicing with... im trying to get my head around some simple scripting. Basically i want to write a script that will work as below: It will ask the user to enter their userid. If its correct it will say 'Correct' If its the wrong id (But the ID exists in /etc/passwd) then it will say 'incorrect' If its not a valid userid it will say 'doesnt exist'. What i have so far is:
[Code]...
# If the user enters their own userid they will get a comment saying 'correct' $LOGNAME) echo "Correct";;
# If they enter another users ID (That exists in the /etc/passwd), then they get a message to say 'incorrect userid used'. Im not sure what i need to do here to get it to check the /etc/passwd to see if the input exists in there.... im guessing some kind of simple 'if' statement to say ---- "if 'input' exists in /etc/passwd then echo "incorrect userid used"
# If its entered incorrectly and not a valid ID then they will get this comment. Again, im guessing this part would be similar to te above option..... *) echo "not a valid ID";;
Ive managed to work out how the basic Case staements work, but to add a conditional statement based on the input, i just cant figure out. I have tried looking on google, and found some help but it doesnt really explain how i check the input against the /etc/passwd.
