View 1 RepliesI used the Windows form of Python's IDLE for a long time and now that i have fedora, I only can get into the command line interactive. I have TKinter and a bunch of packages for it, so I don't think thats the problem, I just cant get into idle.

View 5 Replies View Relatedhow can i install python 3 and idle in fedora 12? yum search for any plausible variation on python3 (python-3, Python-3.1, etc.) that i could think of yields nothing, same in add/remove software. so i got the tarball from python.org and followed book instructions on it (summerfield's python 3, p. 4), namely unpack it, run './configure', run 'make' and finally run 'make install'
in my add/remove programs window, for idle, it says i have the one for python 2.6 installed, but i can't find where to open the program. but i'd like to use 3.1.2 python anyway. additional note: if i type python -V i get Python 2.6.x (can't remember the last digit, i think it's 2), and if i type python3 -V i get Python 3.1.2. so, how do i get python 3 installed and idle for python 3 running?
I have IDLE installed with the Python-tools package, but when I run IDLE in command line, it runs python 2.6...I have python 3 installed, I'm just wondering how to tell IDLE to run Python 3. The reason I ask is because, if I go through IDLE, file>Path Browser, I see a lot of Python 2.6 files...but no Python 3 files. When i run yum install Python3 -
[root@Homecomp Legio]# yum install python3
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Package python3-3.1.2-7.fc13.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
When I look for Python 3, I find it in /usr/bin/Python3, an executable file, along with 3.1, 2.6 and a link to executable 2. I have no files in /usr/local/bin. My question is...How do I tell IDLE to run Python 3 instead of 2? I just started using Fedora, so I don't have all the commands down yet. Have to say its a bit different than Windows...but in a good way so far.
Is there some type of functional way to read things in the Python shell interpreter similar to less or more in the bash (and other) command line shells?
Example:
Code:
>>> import subprocess
>>> help(subprocess)
...
[pages of stuff to read]
...
I'm hoping so as I hate scrolling and love how less works with simple keystrokes for page-up/page-down/searching etc.
I want to write a shell script contains python one. So,the result of python one is flv file. I want the path of this is copied into a enviroment variable that i have to pass as a flag argument of another program (to convert into mp3). To individuate the result of python script I thought to use (in PWD)
Code:
ls | grep -E '^.*mp3$'
But my question is: How can I copy this result into enviroment variable?
I'm a new programmer (a life-long desire, but at 40 just getting to it) and cutting my teeth with Python. I just found the popen2 module today. I was so excited because I could do this:
Code:
>>> from popen2 import popen3
>>> cmd ="""TEXT="Hello, World!"
... echo $TEXT"""
>>> std_out, std_in, std_err = popen3(cmd)

If you want to use another shell, substitute that shell for /bin/bash (e.g., /bin/sh for the shell portability purists out there). It is easy to modify what is returned as well. Don't like the tuple? Then just change it to return or even print stdout if you like.
I do not know how to write either PYTHON or Bash Shell Scripting. I am to learn one for Linux Administration purpose. Which one will you recommend for a Linux Admin/Eng environment?

The odd part is that when a CPU goes to 0.0% idle, I would expect to see one or more of the other columns peek, but they are not.
What is causing this?
Code:
I have a python script that i want to convert to shell for a specific reason. The converted script should also be able to accept a command line arg such as hostname, which the current python script doesn't.

How can I get this on a python program so I can manipulate it as an array?
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

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis problem has to do with Python's interactive help (To get to the interactive help, just type help() at any interactive session). I like to browse all my installed Python modules, to see if I can find something that would be useful for my hobby programming projects. However, recently, typing modules (which is the command to list all installed modules) freezes the interactive session.

Is it possible to have the machine suspend when idle at the gdm login screen? I understand it is possible when a user is logged in through the System > Preferences > Power Management controls. What is happening is that the computer is sitting at the login screen and stays on, wasting power. I'd like it to suspend/sleep after a timeout.

I am using ubuntu10.04-server 64bit AMD with fluxbox. After I ran Matlab in a shell (without GUI) the shell does not display characters anymore, but will execute any command, I just can't see the characters that I'm typing.. I use aterm and xterm, does anybody know why that is, am I missing a package?

(For console shell, we goes to /etc/passwd. But for desktop, I can't find the way to config.)
I've had this bug on pretty much all Linux distro's I've tried in the last few months, but because I love Ubuntu and I can't seem to find this bug reproduced anywhere (though I'm not sure it's a bug worth reporting if it's just me) I decided to bring it here: Whenever a program that is not resource intensive (for example, Update Manager while it's downloading packages) is running for around 20 seconds, and I am not typing or moving my mouse, the system will hang. It will sit there for hours on end unless I move the mouse or hit a key.
Worse yet, it will hang on boot and shutdown too. I often have to hit a key to get the hard drive to start reading again and for anything else to happen for that matter. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a relatively new laptop, but like I said before, it's happened on a bunch of distros: Debian, openSUSE, Fedora... I just have no idea what could be causing it at this point.
I have a USB powered LED light attached to my pc. ( I keep my cave dark and this little light perfectly lights up my desktop and keyboard) I would like to be able to turn off the USB port the LED light is attached to when the PC goes to idle and dims my monitors and when the PC goes back to active I would like the LED light to come back on.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I'm on windows 7 my core i3 processors automatically clocks down when not much CPU power is needed. Somehow I have the idea that ubuntu 10.04 doesn't auto clock down my CPU when idle. I can tell by the short life my full battery has on ubuntu. Only 2hours compared to 5 on windows 7. Is there a way to manage this? So that the CPU automaticly adjusts it's clock settings?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSometimes, when I leave my Ubuntu's X Server on, I'll come back after several minutes and see that my machine is powered off. Sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesn't, but I don't think it's because of hardware failure rather than my lack of measurement.
It used to power off in terminal mode (CTRL+ALT+F1) but then I added this to ~/.bashrc and it went away:
Code:
if [ "${USER}" == "root" ]
then
export TMOUT = 3600
fi
Also, I checked my logs and I see this:
Code:
Feb 2 00:00:09 l1nux AptDaemon: INFO: Quiting due to inactivity
Feb 2 00:00:09 l1nux AptDaemon: INFO: Shutdown was requested
Since it's not a CRITICAL message, but an INFO, it seems like its a planned shutdown.
Does anyone know how I can turn this feature off?
Torrents client kills my Internet connectivity so bad I can't even use a web-browser whilst it's on -- pages take like five minutes to load -- I often forget to turn on my torrent client. Which led me to wonder if there's a way I can launch a script on system idle?
