This is the case. I run openSUSE 11.2 with GNOME. I want my desktop wallpaper to automatically cycle on a fixed interval. So I found this script (change-background.py), edited it to match my needs, and put it in my home bin directory. The script runs fine.
change-background.py

I have a script that runs lots and lots of root commands, copying files in /usr/...stuff like that, then i want to switch users back to the original user and run some gconf tweaks, I need to update a series of gconf values for a user after copying all the root files, but I noticed once your in root, any gconf values you change, change roots information, not the user who started the script useing sudo.
So i was wondering how you would run a script as root, then after your done with all the root commands, "un-root" to the current user who started the script and run the gconf edits:
I put together this so far. It a script that you run, it detects if it was started as root and if not it asks for root password and re-spawns its self exiting out the first instance, then the script runs, switches to the original user after all files are copyed over and starts to run the Military Time custom format update.
Code:
OUSER="`whoami`"
if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
sudo -K
sudo bash $0

How can I get this on a python program so I can manipulate it as an array?
I have this one last task for this app I've been working on (should have picked something easier for my first project)
It has working "def sav_scr_vars" and "def AddEntry" but these save to a fixed filename when save as defults or ok button is clicked. This is fine but I want to be able to save via the same proccess to a named ~/bin/settings/xxx.set file what I did is clone the to above def's and try to edit them I got the "read file" to work fine from a saved file in this manner. but I can't seem to get the save to filename to work without errors. The cloned def's are "save_as" and inmain.py "write_config2"
the camm2.defaults file goes in ~/.hpgl
copy and paste this to ~/.hpgl/camm2.conf
~/.hpgl/camm2.defaults
The file is always to have a .set extension and only read and write to ~/bin/settings

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.

I have a python script I wrote a while ago and now I would like to call that script from inside C. I know how to do one command from C, but how would you execute an entire script from C, and passing arguments? Like:
Code:
int main(void)
{
python( myprogram(1 2 3) );
}
So I can pass arguments to my script.
what the equivalent function in Python 3.1.1 is for Python 2.6.4s:
Py_FindMethod
Be buggered if I can find anything in the doco to say what replaced it or what alternative code may need to be entered to replace it
I have decided to learn python as it seems to be powerful not just for web development (like php) but also a clean powerful language for other puposes.
Q: Can someone suggest a tutorial or book, on learning python (beginner to intermediate) which has as its focus for learning, web development?

I've been using Ubuntu 9.10 fairly regularly on my home computer for a week or two now, dual-booting it with Windows 7. So far I've been quite happy with it, but yesterday something odd happened. I decided to copy all the music I had stored on the Windows partition over to the Ubuntu file system so that I could listen to it there. I have about 16 gigs of music mostly in .mp3 format, so I put the folder on an external hard drive, then logged into Ubuntu and copied it back from the external drive to my Music file.
Once the transfer was done, I opened the Music file and double-clicked on one of the .mp3s at random to play it. When I did this, a window popped up and the first half-second or so of the track played, and then the window closed and it stopped. This happened once or twice more with different .mp3s. The window didn't last long enough for me to get a good idea of what program it was for, but I assume it was Totem, which I hadn't yet run since installing Ubuntu, because according to the Properties->Open With tab of any .mp3 file, that's the default program to use to open .mp3s.
Attempting to run Totem from the Applications menu gives the same result, I later found. Attempting to run Totem from a terminal gave the following error:
andrew@Lovelace-Linux:~$ totem
** (totem:2323): WARNING **: Could not import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk
Segmentation fault
Then, several other programs began having similar issues immediately after I first tried to play a .mp3 yesterday. Specifically, Rhythmbox - which I also hadn't used before, and next tried to use to play the music - will not start at all. Running it from the terminal gives:
andrew@Lovelace-Linux:~$ rhythmbox
** (rhythmbox:2338): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
** (rhythmbox:2338): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
(rhythmbox:2338): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk
Segmentation fault
Note that pygtk is again referenced. The weirdest part is that other program that's having this issue, an IM client called emesene, is one that I had been using just fine, without issue, for several sessions previous. Since trying to play that .mp3, it now won't run at all. I tried removing and re-installing emesene, to no avail. Running it from the Terminal gives:
andrew@Lovelace-Linux:~$ emesene
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/emesene/Controller.py", line 21, in <module>
import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk
This time the missing module is gtk, but I know that emesene is written in Python, which the earlier "pygtk" is perhaps a reference to. Thus, the connecting thread between all these programs, as near as I can tell, is Python.
I have a bash script that I want to import in to Python, mainly just to see if I can or not. However in the script I do use some piping of commands into sed to trim it down to what I need. When I tried doing it with the os.system() call, it didn't work. The exact error is
sed: -e expression #1, char 16: unterminated `s' command
However the command that was run can be run in bash without an error. Is there a better/another way to do this? For reference the command is:
Code:
locate -n 1 wp-config.php | sed 's/wp-config.php/
/g' | sed '/wp-config.php/ d' | sed '/^$/ d'

For a work project, I've got a bunch of python code from about a year ago that controls the movement of our EVI-D30 camera over a ttyUSB connection. It used to work fine on a 32-bit Fedora box, but recently we moved our whole project over to a 64-bit Gentoo server, and the same code seems to be worthless on the new platform. I didn't write the code, so I'm have trouble figuring out how to fix it. Error messages usually look like this:
Code:
File "./CameraController.py", line 172, in pan
turn_callback(cmdStruct[0], cmdStruct[1])
File "./CameraController.py", line 147, in turn_callback

I'm writing a command-line flash card program in Python. I've tried many existing applications, but none fit my specialized needs.
All of the words I'd like to study are manually added to a text file (study.txt). Each time the software is loaded, it checks for new words in that file and also compares them to a dictionary (a tab-separated file, dictionary.txt), and adds that to a matrix. The flash cards are thus automatically generated from study.txt and dictionary.txt.
Now, the software must manage lots of information about each word I'd like to study and add new information made while interacting with the program (such as when that word should be studied next).
That seems easy to put into a matrix. But what is the best way to put that information in a place where I can pull it back when I run the software tomorrow? Do I need to save the matrix to a CSV file, then convert the CSV file back to a matrix the next time the application is run?
