I am wanting to put a print icon into a Python program and will use printing via the command line via calling lp or lpr.
So a simple question: Whats the difference between lp and lpr?
Also when you type man lp or man lpr the man page says Apple Inc?

I need to know how to make a program use a version of python older than the newest one. I am trying to run the Traipse fork of OpenRPG. Through their forums, I have learned that one of my problems is that I am running too new a version of python. I have python 2.7.1 installed.
I also have python2.6.6 installed, so I should be able to use that. My first thought was to uninstall 2.7.1 and just use the older version. The problem is that if i uninstall 2.7.1, it wants to also uninstall all the packages dependent on that program. Let's face it, in Natty Narwhal, that is pretty much everything.
Do you know how to force Traipse make it use the 2.6 version?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how to continue execution of a Python program while a background task is going on.
In bash, it is adding "&" to the end as in:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
find / -iname "*.py" > /tmp/all_pys &
echo "looking for all python scripts and putting them in /tmp/all_pys"
(yes, I know I could just put the echo BEFORE the find but I just use it for example)
Say I do that in python (not necessarily running the shell, but perhaps using scriptutil.ffind or something similar), but want to allow the user to be doing something else while running that search in the background, how would I thread, fork, subprocess (not to be confused with the module and Popen) [or whatever I should call it] that?
I have had bad experiences using Evince and Okular to print SOME pdf files. For example I scanned a bunch of last year's medical records and bills to a pdf file using my scanner and Xsane. I can view the file but not print a page to my Brother laser printer. Same goes with my CITI bank Master Card statements. They appear to be images of the paper statement - not sure if that has anything to do with it.I had to resort to using a Windows 7 virtual machine running the huge bloated brand name Acrobat reader
Anyhow... this afternoon I built a VMWare virtual machine of the latest Ubuntu 10.10 beta. Setup my laser printer and decided to try to print one of my problem files. Evince did not do it. pdftops pegged the CPU at 100% and it stayed there until I killed it. Then one page came out with some not helpful error messages. I then looked in the Software Store and started down the list of pdf viewing programs. However, my plan was to keep trying programs until I found one that worked. Success came soon with ePDFViewer. It works on both 10.10 and 10.04 (my current desktop) and will print any pdf I have thrown at it. I am now a happy camper as far as pdf files are concerned.

I am just asking how this works in general. I know Python can wrap a C code, but here it seems Python is already integrated with this C program.Would it be correct to say one would have to understand the C code in addition to py programming in order to accomplish anything useful here?I need to control the program, and especially import its output to some algorithm that accomplishes command and control in the way of bash scripts or whatever.

Interesting problem: For the first time with Xubuntu 10.10 64bit, I am finding certain applications print corrupt. A varying amount of letters / numbers either get substituted/print a blank space/ print a box etc etc. This corruption seems to happen from a Pdf ( evince ) or Spreadheet ( Gnumeric ) Opening the same Pdf on another machine (ubuntu 10.10 32bit) prints perfectly. Opening the same .xls file on the original computer but using OOo Calc prints perfectly.
I guess I have ruled out any problems with the printer itself or the network JetDirect box. I have re-installed CUPS and evince and upgraded to the latest version of HPLIP but the problem appears unchanged.
