I've got Dragon Naturally Speaking 14, dragonfly, the latest natlink (4.1 or something), pywin32, python 2.7, and wxpython installed
I've got a python file with this in it in my "user configuration directory" set up by natlink
I get the natlink popup message when Dragon Naturally Speaking starts, telling me that it's working. I reset DNS 14 to ensure my "macro" (dosomething.py) is loaded.
this is the code in my dosomething.py
from dragonfly import Grammar, CompoundRule
# Voice command rule combining spoken form and recognition processing.
class ExampleRule(CompoundRule):
spec = "do something computer" # Spoken form of command.
def _process_recognition(self, node, extras): # Callback when command is spoken.
print "Voice command spoken."
# Create a grammar which contains and loads the command rule.
grammar = Grammar("example grammar") # Create a grammar to contain the command rule.
grammar.add_rule(ExampleRule()) # Add the command rule to the grammar.
grammar.load() # Load the grammar.
while True:
pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages()
sleep(.1)
however, when I start up & activate DNS and say "do something computer" with dictation & command mode, or just command mode, the transcription box pops up, how can I tell if it's working or not? I don't think it is. What is supposed to happen? I'm new to python, I fired up the interpreter in the cmd window and no prompt like "Voice command spoken." is ever generated when I say the voice command. Is that what's supposed to happen?
There are two ways to load up Dragonfly grammars: through Natlink, and through Windows Speech Recognition. WSR requires you to put in that while loop with pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages(), but that won't work with Natlink. You should comment it out.
If you set this up correctly, you won't see "Voice command spoken." in any cmd prompt -- you will see it in the Natlink window.

I ‘m new with the Python world. I have four Python Script, and now during the testing phase, i have to run each of one from differenti console istances. My question is: is possible to create an unique script Python, and from it execute at the same time, the 4 scripts.
I’am working with a publisher/subscriber architetture, so i have one publisher and three sbuscriber.
Personally, I wouldn't run them from python. Create a batch file (windows) or a bash script(linux) and run all four of them as a background process so that they don't have to wait for each other to complete
In python you can try to use something like this:
import os
# list with the name of your scripts
scripts=["script_1.py", "script_2.py","script_3.py"]
for i in range (len(scripts)):
print "Executing ", scripts[i]
# string with script parameters
# in this case they are identical for everyone
script_parameters="-p parameters"
# build the command as if you typed it in the terminal
#
my_command = "python"+" "+scripts[i]+" "+script_parameters
print my_command
# run your command on the operating system
os.system(my_command)
I do not know if this is what you were looking for, but I hope you find it useful
I am working with a command line tool called 'ideviceinfo' (see https://github.com/libimobiledevice) to help me to quickly get back serial, IMEI and battery health information from the iOS device I work with daily. It executes much quicker than Apple's own 'cfgutil' tools.
Up to know I have been able to develop a more complicated script than the one shown below in PyCharm (my main IDE) to assign specific values etc to individual variables and then to use something like to pyclip and pyautogui to help automatically paste these into the fields of the database app we work with. I have also been able to use the simplified version of the script both in Mac OS X terminal and in the python shell without any hiccups.
I am looking to use AppleScript to help make running the script as easy as possible.
When I try to use Applescript's "do shell script 'python script.py'" I just get back a string of lenght zero when I call 'ideviceinfo'. The exact same thing happens when I try to build an Automator app with a 'Run Shell Script' component for "python script.py".
I have tried my best to isolate the problem down. When other more basic commands such as 'date' are called within the script they return valid strings.
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
ideviceinfoOutput = os.popen('ideviceinfo').read()
print ideviceinfoOutput
print len (ideviceinfoOutput)
boringExample = os.popen('date').read()
print boringExample
print len (boringExample)
I am running Mac OS X 10.11 and am on Python 2.7
Thanks.
I think I've managed to fix it on my own. I just need to be far more explicit about where the 'ideviceinfo' binary (I hope that's the correct term) was stored on the computer.
Changed one line of code to
ideviceinfoOutput = os.popen('/usr/local/bin/ideviceinfo').read()
and all seems to be OK again.
I wrote a snippet that would automatically copy a file from a source directory to a path on an usb. Because drive letter names are assigned by the PC independent o the slot I figured I would GetLogicalDrives() and if the path to the usb directory is in any of those drives then it would copy (I hope I'm making some sense). Here is the piece of code I wrote in Python:
import itertools, ctypes, string, sys, os.path, shutil
def drive_list():
drive_bitmask = ctypes.cdll.kernel32.GetLogicalDrives()
drive_list = list(itertools.compress(string.ascii_uppercase,
map(lambda x:ord(x) - ord('0'), bin(drive_bitmask)[:1:-1])))
return drive_list
for drive in drive_list():
path = drive + ":\\targer_directory\target_file.ext"
if drive not in ["C", "D", "E"]:
if os.path.exists(path) == True:
shutil.copy2(r'C:\source_directory\source_file.ext', path)
Whenever I run this script I get a bunch of error messages saying:
"Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b1bf7c 4 75b1bf7c 75b1bf7c"
I think this probably means that I have some "ghost drives" in my pc. Any help in bypassing this behavior is deeply appreciated.
Note: The code runs at the end and the copy job is done succesfuly, but not until the error messages are cleared which is not the objective if I want to perform automatic backups.
I'm not sure whether this will help or not. But you can try this!
We were receiving the same error on execution of a windows application (an .exe file) and the below steps resolved it.
Goto Registry Editor
(Run -> type 'regedit' -> hit enter)
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Expand System
Expand CurrentControlSet
Expand Control
Select Windows
Double click on ErrorMode in the right side pane
Set the Value Data as 2
Click OK
Restart your system
I have been having problems trying to run an external program from a python program that was generated from a trigger in a postgres 9.2 database. The trigger works. It writes to a file. I had tried just running the external program but the permissions would not allow it to run. I was able to create a folder (using os.system(“mkdir”) ). The owner of the folder is NETWORK SERVICE.
I need to run a program called sdktest. When I try to run it no response happens so I think that means that the python program does not have enough permissions (with an owner of NETWORK SERVICE) to run it.
I have been having my program copy files that it needs into that directory so they would have the correct permissions and that has worked to some degree but the program that I need to run is the last one and it is not running because it does not have enough permissions.
My python program runs a C++ program called PG_QB_Connector which calls sdktest.
Is there any way I can change the owner of the process to be a “normal” owner? Is there a better way to do this? Basically I just need to have this C++ program have eniough perms to run correctly.
BTW, when I run the C++ program by hand, the line that runs the sdktest program runs correctly, however, when I run it from the postgres/python it does not do anything...
I have Windows 7, python 3.2. The other 2 questions that I asked about this are located here and here
The python program:
CREATE or replace FUNCTION scalesmyone (thename text)
RETURNS int
AS $$
a=5
f = open('C:\\JUNK\\frompython.txt','w')
f.write(thename)
f.close()
import os
os.system('"mkdir C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER"')
os.system('"mkdir C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer"')
os.system('"copy C:\\JUNK\\junk.txt C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer"')
os.system('"copy C:\\BATfiles\\junk6.txt C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer"')
os.system('"copy C:\\BATfiles\\run_addcust.bat C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer"')
os.system('"copy C:\\Workfiles\\PG_QB_Connector.exe C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer"')
os.system('"copy C:\\Workfiles\\sdktest.exe C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer"')
import subprocess
return_code = subprocess.call(["C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer\\PG_QB_Connector.exe", '"hello"'])
$$ LANGUAGE plpython3u;
The C++ program that is called from the python program and calls sdktest.exe is below
command = "copy C:\\Workfiles\\AddCustomerFROMWEB.xml C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer\\AddCustomerFROMWEB.xml";
system(command.c_str());
//everything except for the qb file is in my local folder
command = "C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer\\sdktest.exe \"C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Intuit\\QuickBooks\\Company Files\\Shain Software.qbw\" C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer\\AddCustomerFROMWEB.xml C:\\TEMPWITHOWNER\\addcustomer\\outputfromsdktestofaddcust.xml";
system(command.c_str());
It sounds like you want to invoke a command-line program from within a PostgreSQL trigger or function.
A usually-better alternative is to have the trigger send a NOTIFY and have a process with a PostgreSQL connection LISTENing for notifications. When a notification comes in, the process can start your program. This is the approach I would recommend; it's a lot cleaner and it means your program doesn't have to run under PostgreSQL's user ID. See NOTIFY and LISTEN.
If you really need to run commands from inside Pg:
You can use PL/Pythonu with os.system or subprocess.check_call; PL/Perlu with system(); etc. All these can run commands from inside Pg if you need to. You can't invoke programs directly from PostgreSQL, you need to use one of the 'untrusted' (meaning fully privileged, not sandboxed) procedural languages to invoke external executables. PL/TCL can probably do it too.
Update:
Your Python code as shown above has several problems:
Using os.system in Python to copy files is just wrong. Use the shutil library: http://docs.python.org/3/library/shutil.html to copy files, and the simple os.mkdir command to create directories.
The double-layered quoting looks wrong; didn't you mean to quote only each argument not the whole command? You should be using subprocess.call instead of os.system anyway.
Your final subprocess.call invocation appears OK, but fails to check the error code so you'll never know if it went wrong; you should use subprocess.check_call instead.
The C++ code also appears to fail to check for errors from the system() invocations so you'll never know if the command it runs fails.
Like the Python code, copying files in C++ by using the copy shell command is generally wrong. Microsoft Windows provides the CopyFile function for this; equivalents or alternatives exist on other platforms and you can use portable-but-less-efficient stream copying too.
I'm trying to troubleshoot why an emacs+tramp connection that used to work doesn't now. At first I thought it might be an Aquamacs problem, but I loaded Emacs.app on OSX, based on version 23.3 (9.0), and it doesn't work either. The remote host runs FreeBSD 7.4 and the user shell defaults to /usr/local/bin/bash.
If I try to open a file such as:
Find file: /username#remote_host:~/folder/
...the cursor in the minibuffer stops at:
Find file: /username#remote_host
...and I can't type anything further. Confounding this, I can't C-g to stop it, either. Emacs just locks up. It times out after a minute or so, but until then is unusable.
The relevant lines of my .emacs file are:
(require 'tramp)
(setq tramp-debug-buffer t)
(setq tramp-verbose 9)
(setq tramp-default-method "ssh")
(setq tramp-password-prompt-regexp ".*[Pp]assword: *$")
(setq tramp-shell-prompt-pattern "^[^;$#>]*[;$#>] *")
(setq password-cache-expiry nil)
And the password and shell prompts on the machine in question (anonymized) look like:
Password:
[username#remote_host ~]$ # with a single space at the end
The value of tramp-password-prompt-regexp is ".*[Pp]assword: *$"
The value of tramp-shell-prompt-pattern is "^[^;$#>]*[;$#>] *"
And lastly, the last few lines of the debug buffer:
14:36:40.271851 tramp-get-connection-property (7) # check-remote-echo nil
14:36:41.090876 tramp-wait-for-regexp (6) #
are you awake
#$
14:36:41.091037 tramp-wait-for-regexp (1) # File error: [[Regexp `\(^\|\)[^#$
?$' not found in 60 secs]]
I'm not sure where the different version of the shell regexp are coming from, but in any case, I'm never even getting to the password prompt.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Addendum
Using GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (mac-apple-darwin, Carbon Version 1.6.0), Tramp version 2.0.55, works. I'm reluctant to rely on that, however, as it is based on the terminal window and I've shuffled Cmd, Ctrl, and Caps Lock around to make my workstation feel more like my home machine, then told Emacs to treat the Cmd key as an alternate Ctrl; unfortunately, the terminal window traps several Cmd-key combinations.
Furthermore
Downloaded the Emacs-22.3-i386-10.5.7.dmg from Emacs For OS X, which uses tramp 2.0.58-pre. That works too, and has fewer issues with the environment trapping key combinations. But I still don't understand why the Aquamacs and later Carbon Emacs versions quit working.
