I am trying to use Python 2.7.3.2 to send an email through Lotus Notes 8.5.
There are plenty of examples on how to do this in other languages, and I've done it myself in VBA, but having difficulties with Python.
self.db = self.session.getDatabase(server, dbfile)
# ...
mailDoc = self.db.CreateDocument
mailDoc.Form = "Memo"
mailDoc.sendto = recipientList
mailDoc.subject = subject
mailDoc.Body = bodytext
Error returned: AttributeError: Property 'CreateDocument.Form' can not be set.
I have attempted to skip setting the form, but it also fails on setting any of these attributes.
Would anyone have code on this, or suggestions on what to try to resolve it.
I know nothing about Python, but my guess is that the shorthand notation document.item = "foo" for setting an item value is not supported. Most likely, you need to do this:
mailDoc.AppendItemValue("Form","Memo")
(You can also use ReplaceItemValue, which is equivalent for a newly created document, and also works for updating existing documents, so many people prefer to just remember the one method name.)

I'm trying to write my own Jekyll plugin to construct an api query from a custom tag. I've gotten as far as creating the basic plugin and tag, but I've run into the limits of my programming skills so looking to you for help.
Here's my custom tag for reference:
{% card "Arbor Elf | M13" %}
Here's the progress on my plugin:
module Jekyll
class Scryfall < Liquid::Tag
def initialize(tag_name, text, tokens)
super
#text = text
end
def render(context)
# Store the name of the card, ie "Arbor Elf"
#card_name =
# Store the name of the set, ie "M13"
#card_set =
# Build the query
#query = "https://api.scryfall.com/cards/named?exact=#{#card_name}&set=#{#card_set}"
# Store a specific JSON property
#card_art =
# Finally we render out the result
"<img src='#{#card_art}' title='#{#card_name}' />"
end
end
end
Liquid::Template.register_tag('cards', Jekyll::Scryfall)
For reference, here's an example query using the above details (paste it into your browser to see the response you get back)
https://api.scryfall.com/cards/named?exact=arbor+elf&set=m13
My initial attempts after Googling around was to use regex to split the #text at the |, like so:
#card_name = "#{#text}".split(/| */)
This didn't quite work, instead it output this:
[“A”, “r”, “b”, “o”, “r”, “ “, “E”, “l”, “f”, “ “, “|”, “ “, “M”, “1”, “3”, “ “]
I'm also then not sure how to access and store specific properties within the JSON response. Ideally, I can do something like this:
#card_art = JSONRESPONSE.image_uri.large
I'm well aware I'm asking a lot here, but I'd love to try and get this working and learn from it.
Thanks for reading.
Actually, your split should work – you just need to give it the correct regex (and you can call that on #text directly). You also need to escape the pipe character in the regex, because pipes can have special meaning. You can use rubular.com to experiment with regexes.
parts = #text.split(/\|/)
# => => ["Arbor Elf ", " M13"]
Note that they also contain some extra whitespace, which you can remove with strip.
#card_name = parts.first.strip
#card_set = parts.last.strip
This might also be a good time to answer questions like: what happens if the user inserts multiple pipes? What if they insert none? Will your code give them a helpful error message for this?
You'll also need to escape these values in your URL. What if one of your users adds a card containing a & character? Your URL will break:
https://api.scryfall.com/cards/named?exact=Sword of Dungeons & Dragons&set=und
That looks like a URL with three parameters, exact, set and Dragons. You need to encode the user input to be included in a URL:
require 'cgi'
query = "https://api.scryfall.com/cards/named?exact=#{CGI.escape(#card_name)}&set=#{CGI.escape(#card_set)}"
# => "https://api.scryfall.com/cards/named?exact=Sword+of+Dungeons+%26+Dragons&set=und"
What comes after that is a little less clear, because you haven't written the code yet. Try making the call with the Net::HTTP module and then parsing the response with the JSON module. If you have trouble, come back here and ask a new question.
Some time ago I wrote a simple python app which asks users for input and generates a new mail via Outlook app basing on the input. Now, I was asked to add some functionality so the app will no longer generate a new mail but it'll forward a selected email and add content to it. While I was able to write code which generates a new mail, I'm completely lost when I want to approach it with forwarding selected mails.
At the moment I use something like this to send a new email:
import win32com.client
from win32com.client import Dispatch
const=win32com.client.constants
olMailItem = 0x0
obj = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
newMail = obj.CreateItem(olMailItem)
newMail.SentOnBehalfOfName = 'mail#mail.com'
newMail.Subject = ""
newMail.BodyFormat = 2
newMail.HTMLBody = output
newMail.To = ""
newMail.CC = ""
newMail.display()
And I know that by using something like this you can select an email in Outlook so Python can interact with it :
obj = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
selection = obj.ActiveExplorer().Selection
How to merge these two together so the app will forward a selected email and add a new content on the top? I tried to find it out by trial and error, but finally, I gave up. Microsoft API documentation also was not very helpful for me as I was not really able to understand much of it (I'm not a dev). Any help appreciated.
Replace the line newMail = obj.CreateItem(olMailItem) with
newMail = obj.ActiveExplorer().Selection.Item(1).Forward()
I am working with Tweepy (python's REST API client) and I'm trying to find tweets by several keywords and without url included in tweet.
But search results are not up to our satisfaction. Looks like query has erros and was stopped. Additionally we had observed that results were returned one-by-one not (as previously) in bulk packs of 100.
Could you please tell me why this search does not work properly?
We wanted to get all tweets mentioning 'Amazon' without any URL links in the text.
We used search shown below. Search results were still containing tweets with URLs or without 'Amazon' keyword.
Could you please let us know what we are doing wrong?
auth = tweepy.AppAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth, wait_on_rate_limit=True, wait_on_rate_limit_notify=True)
searchQuery = 'Amazon OR AMAZON OR amazon filter:-links' # Keyword
new_tweets = api.search(q=searchQuery, count=100,
result_type = "recent",
max_id = sinceId,
lang = "en")
The minus sign should be put before "filter", not before "links", like this:
searchQuery = 'Amazon OR AMAZON OR amazon -filter:links'
Also, I doubt that the count = 100 option is a valid one, since it is not listed on the API documentation (which may not be very up-to-date, though). Try to replace that with rpp = 100 to get tweets in bulk packs.
I am not sure why some of the tweets you find do not contain the "Amazon" keyword, but a possibility is that "Amazon" is contained within the username of the poster. I do not know if you can filter that directly in the query, or even if you would want to filter it, since it would mean you would reject tweets from the official Amazon accounts. I would suggest that, for each tweet the query returns, you check it to make sure it does contain "Amazon".
I'm building a database using Google Datastore. Here is my model...
class UserInfo(db.Model):
name = db.StringProperty(required = True)
password = db.StringProperty(required = True)
email = db.StringProperty(required = False)
...and below is my GQL Query. How would I go about retrieving the user's password and ID from the user_data object? I've gone through all the google documentation, find it hard to follow, and have spent ages trying various things I've read online but nothing has helped! I'm on Python 2.7.
user_data = db.GqlQuery('SELECT * FROM UserInfo WHERE name=:1', name_in)
user_info = user_data.get()
This is basic Python.
From the query, you get a UserInfo instance, which you have stored in the user_info variable. You can access the data of an instance via dot notation: user_info.password and user_info.email.
If this isn't clear, you really should do a basic Python tutorial before going any further.
You are almost there. Treat the query object like a class.
name = user_info.name
Documentation on queries here gives some examples
There are some python tips that might help you
dir(user_info)
help(user_info)
you can also print almost anything, like
print user_info[0]
print user_info[0].name

Calling UserModel.objects.filter(email__iexact=email) results in the following query
SELECT * FROM "accounts_person" WHERE "accounts_person"."email" = UPPER('my-email#mail.com')
This doesn't find anything because it there's no EMAIL#MAIL.COM in the database, only email#mail.com. Shouldn't the query have been translated to
WHERE UPPER("accounts_person"."email") = UPPER('my-email#mail.com')?
Summary:
UserModel.objects.filter(email=email) # works
UserModel.objects.filter(email__exact=email) # works
UserModel.objects.filter(email__iexact=email) # doesn't work
Clash you ae right this i also faced the same situtaion with postgres sql .
If you go through This ticket
You will get some idea .
Perhaps an option could be passed to EmailField to state whether you want it to lower all case or not. It would save having to do something in the form validation like.
def clean_email(self):
return self.cleaned_data['email'].lower()
My bad. I had patched lookup_cast to be able to use the unaccent module on postgresql and ended up not calling the original lookup_cast afterwards. The generated query now looks like this WHERE UPPER("accounts_person"."email"::text) = UPPER('my-email#mail.com'). This is the default behavior on django.
