Several new scripts and module updates over at pythonutils. Visit http://www.voidspace.org.uk/atlantibots/pythonutils.html *NEW* includer.py Version 1.0.0 Adds an INCLUDE command to python scripts for including other modules into them. Lots of nifty features including recursive include, incdir command, will remove relevant import statements and anything under the 'if __name__ ==...' line from included scripts etc.... Useful for distributing modules with several dependencies as a single file. The features mean that it's possible to test a module using normal import statements (of the type from module import....). When you run includer.py, the INCLUDE command causes your included script (minus the test code under a 'if __name__ ==...' line) to be added in *and* the import statements are removed. Using ##INCLUDE is the equivalent of 'from module import *' - avoiding namespace pollution is up to you. python includer.py infilename outfilename Easy hey ! *NEW* proxycleaner.py Version 1.0.0 *NEW* approxClientproxy.py Version 0.1.0 *UPDATED* approx.py Version 0.4.0 approx.py is a cgiproxy for use by those in restricted internet environments. (Work, internet cafes, colleges, libraries, restrictive regimes etc). It is still at beta stage but functional. Cookie handling with ClientCookie now works although support for multiple users and cookie management will be added. Authentication and POST methods are the next issues to work on. DEBUG mode added. proxycleaner.py will 'clean' webpages that have been fetched through approx or the James Marshall perl cgiproxy. Both these scripts modify URLs a pages are fetched through them - this script undoes the modification. approxClientproxy.py is a client script that works in conjunction with approx.py - it runs on your machine. Instead of having approx modify pages you can point your browser at approxClientproxy which handles the communication between itself and approx. Things like javascript, which approx can't modify, work through aPc which transparently mangles *all* access to go through approx... At the moment it's a crude hack of TCPwatch by the Zope corp.. but it works fine and will only improve. Allows transparent unrestricted http access in a restricted environment. *UPDATE* ConfigObj Version 3.2.0 Removed the charmap 'function' that eliminated unicode errors by stamping on unicode. Unicode problems will now raise an exception. If this causes you problems let me know (with examples if possible) and I'll work on the unicode issues. The test for list type entries is not an 'isinstance' test but a 'hasattr' test (append is the attribute tested for). This isn't ubiquitous though. Added the 'stringify' keyword - including changes to the listquote module for this (which is also now a bit faster). fullconfigobj.py is now built using includer.py Uses a newer version of caseless than the previous distribution. Changed license text. *UPDATE* listquote Version 1.1.0 Added handling for non-string elements in elem_quote (optional). Replaced some old += with lists and ''.join() for speed improvements... Using basestring and hasattr('__getitem__') tests instead of isinstance(list) and str in a couple of places. Changed license text. Made the tests useful. *NEW* http_test.py Version 1.2.0 Now at http://www.voidspace.org.uk/atlantibots/recipebook.html (was previously just online in the Python Cookbook) A CGI script that will fetch a URL and display all server headers, saved cookies, the first part of the content (as raw HTML) *and* all the CGI environment variables. Some authentication code as well. Very useful for debugging in various situation or as an illustration of several aspects of basic CGI. # Copyright Michael Foord # Free to use, modify and relicense. # No warranty express or implied for the accuracy, fitness to purpose or otherwise for this code.... # Use at your own risk !!! # E-mail michael AT foord DOT me DOT uk # Maintained at www.voidspace.org.uk/atlantibots/pythonutils.html -- http://www.Voidspace.org.uk The Place where headspace meets cyberspace.
