Cookies with httplib
<p>I needed to do a simple http get in the other day, the only catch was that I had to send a cookie. My first thoughts were that this might be tricky, but in practise it's a doddle. Below is a simplistic example passing a cookie (called "Fish", with a value of "Cod") using Python's <a href="http://docs.python.org/lib/module-httplib.html">httplib</a>.</p> <pre> import httplib conn = httplib.HTTPConnection( "www.example.com" ) Headers = {"Cookie" : "Fish=Cod"} conn.request("GET", "/fishfinder.html", None, Headers ) response = conn.getresponse() data = response.read() </pre> <p>How hard can it be?</p>
Easy security blanket
<p>Back in May del.icio.us announced some changes to their api, in a post curiously titled <a href="http://blog.del.icio.us/blog/2006/05/feel_secure.html">Security blanket</a>.</p> <p>It took all of two minutes to update my <a href="http://feetup.org/blog/dev/projects.html">linkblogging script</a> (a different url, and https rather than http), source code for which can be found in the usual location: <a href="http://feetup.org/code/py/pydelicious.py.txt">pydelicious.py</a></p> <p>One gotcha for Pythonistas is that the default win32 build of older versions of Python doesn&#8217;t have any ssl support, I&#8217;ve tried <a href="http://alldunn.com/python/">Robin Dunn&#8217;s drop-in replacement for _socket.pyd</a> and it seems to work fine.</p>
More Delicious tinkering
<p>You may have noticed that I&#8217;ve given my <a href="http://feetup.org/blog/dev/python/Delicious-Tinker-One.html">linkblog entry generator</a> a slight revision, the output should be a little more informative with links to the tags used, and a link to the other people linking to each item.</p> <p>As before, it&#8217;s <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html" title="GNU Public License"><span class="caps">GPL</span></a> licensed and the source code is available as: <a href="http://feetup.org/code/py/pydelicious.py.txt">pydelicious.py</a></p> <p>One odd thing I encountered with <a href="http://dealmeida.net/en/Projects/PyTextile/">pytextile</a> was when I tried being too clever and used a definition list instead of nested unordered lists; definition list are pretty easy to do use in pytextile, but they appear to having a flaw in implementation. Their syntax is simple enough, for example</p> <p>.bc dl. Monty Python:A British tv comedy series which first aired in 1969</p> <p>would generate:</p> <dl> <dt>Monty Python</dt> <dd>A British tv comedy series which first aired in 1969</dd> </dl> <p>It uses the colon character to split the items up, however if you try to use a link in a definition list things start getting strange. The format for a link is "link text":http://example.com and the definition list code spots the colon and split the link over two items! There&#8217;s probably a simple way around this but it&#8217;s not in my textile skillset yet.</p>
Python Quickies...
<p>Here's a few nice Python quickies, I know I could have used del.icio.us to tag them and dump them here, but I wanted to add some more comments than del.icio.us really allows, so they're here instead.</p> <p>First off, the invaluable <a href="http://the.taoofmac.com/space/Python/Grimoire">Python Grimoire</a> a vital resource for someone like me, someone who writes Python too infrequently and sporadically and hence forgets some of the syntax and the best <em>Pythonic</em> ways to do routine tasks. Rui's been maintaining it for a while, but he's now relaunched it in <a href="http://the.taoofmac.com/space/TiddlyWiki">TiddlyWiki</a> format, this is a great way to read and browse the grimoire, I love it!</p> <p>Also a couple of nice things from Matt's <a href="http://www.postneo.com/postwiki/moin.cgi/PythonForSeries60">PyS60 wiki page</a>, the <a href="http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tags/series60">Series60</a> tagged items from <a href="http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/">Code Snippets</a> and <a href="http://simonjudge.com/">Simon Judge's</a> <a href="http://simonjudge.com/pythonfreeware.html">Python freeware</a>, three handy little PyS60 apps - where's the source Simon? :-)</p> <p>I've really got to sit down and tinker with PyS60 again, roll on the 26 hour day and the 9 day week...</p>
Del.icio.us tickering, step one
<p>More <a href="http://feetup.org/blog/linkblog/delicious-tinkering.html">del.icio.us tinkering</a>.</p> <p>As you've probably seen I've got stage one working successfully, which creates a daily post of my previous day's del.icio.us items.</p> <p>I've achieved this using a lightly modified version of <a href="http://dealmeida.net/">Roberto De Almeida's</a> python script <a href="http://dealmeida.net/blosxom/en/Programming/Python/delicious.html">pydelicious</a> - lightly modified because I don't have the libxml2 module to hand, so I've substituted Aaron Schwartz's <a href="http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/xmltramp/">xmltramp</a> instead.</p> <p>I run this script with cron every morning - the <a href="http://del.icio.us/doc/api">del.icio.us api</a> is UTC/GMT based so that suits me quite nicely. The script creates a new text file containing my links (marked up with textile), which pyblosxom renders as a new blog post.</p> <p>My code is available here: <a href="http://feetup.org/code/py/pydelicious.py.txt">pydelicious.py</a></p> <p>As per xmltramp and Roberto's original my code is GPL licensed. I like to think of my contribution as standing on the toes of giants...</p> <p>Progress reports will follow <a href="http://www.feetup.org/wiki/DeliciousTinkering">on the wiki</a>.</p>
