Python Software

"The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code -- not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death." -- GvR

"Python is the second best programming language in the world. But the best has yet to be invented." -- Christian Tismer.

I am publishing here Python-related software; mostly written by me. Unless otherwise noted, all software is free for any use. Please, provide a reference to my name; don't blame me for anything. Copyrighted by Oleg Broytman and PhiloSoft Design.

Some pieces of software are not so free - they are protected by GNU GPL.

All bits are packed with GNU tar+ gz or bz2.

m_Lib library and programs: Portable Python Utilities, bookmarks_db, mimedecode, m_librarian, sqlconvert.

Outdated code: extract_mime, netscape-history, bdftogd.
Network-related libraries and programs ... not much yet: Python socket servers.
Some miscellaneous staff: PyGreSQL example, comparison of 3 Python-for-DOS interpreters.

Requires: The piece of software would not work without other; download it as well. "Requires: nothing" means "requires only standard Python library", of course.
Recommends: Does not strictly require, but good to have it anyway.
Suggests: Even easier than "recommends".

m_lib - Broytman Library for Python

A collection of modules I've been writing for common tasks in my programs. (You can read why the name starts with m :)

Download: m_lib.tar.bz2, m_lib.defenc.tar.bz2, m_lib.full.tar.bz2
git clone https://git.phdru.name/m_lib.git, git clone https://git.phdru.name/m_lib.defenc.git, git clone https://git.phdru.name/m_lib.full.git

Requires: nothing
Recommends: nothing
Suggests: nothing

See m_lib.txt.
The most interesting modules here are:

defenc.py: Get default encoding.
flad/: Flat ASCII Database; used in bookmarks_db.
pbar/: progress bar for tty; used in bookmarks_db.

Programs

Bookmarks database and Internet robot - a set of programs I use to manipulate my bookmarks. Detailed description is available.

License: GPL
Download: sources and example shell scripts
git clone https://git.phdru.name/bookmarks_db.git
git clone git://git.phdru.name/bookmarks_db.git
Requires: m_Lib, other_Lib
Recommends: aiohttp, pycurl, requests, twisted for querying pages
Beautiful Soup, html5lib, lxml for parsing HTML
Suggests: nothing

bkmk_objects.py: Low level objects (Bookmark, Folder, etc) and framework for managing bookmarks tree.
parse_html/: HTML parsers based on BeautifulSoup, lxml, html5.

bkmk2db.py: The program to convert bookmarks.html to a database.
db2bkmk.py: The program to convert the database back to bookmarks.html.

check_urls.py: The program checks URLs in the DB by running a robot (plugin).
convert_st.py: The program converts the DB to a different format.
sort_db.py: The program sorts the DB by add_date, last_visit, last_modified or size.
check_dups.py: Prints a list of duplicate URLs in the database.

Storage: Directory with storage managers (DB plugins).
Writers: Directory with writers (data dumpers) plugins.
Robots: Directory with robots (URL checkers) plugins

MIME decode - a program to decode MIME messages. Useful for multicharset mail lists archives and such. Detailed description is available.
Download: mimedecode.tar.bz2 git clone https://git.phdru.name/mimedecode.git git clone git://git.phdru.name/mimedecode.git Requires: m_Lib Recommends: nothing Suggests: nothing	Inside the archive: mimedecode The library and a small script. mimedecode.html, mimedecode.man, mimedecode.txt Documentation in different formats.

m_Librarian - this hopefully will be a collection of programs to index LibRusEc and Flibusta libraries (zipfiles from torrents, actually) and show their contents with command-line, web interface and GUI.
Documentation, also available in Russian language. Download: m_librarian.tar.bz2 git clone https://git.phdru.name/m_librarian.git git clone git://git.phdru.name/m_librarian.git Requires: SQLObject, CheetahTemplate, m_Lib Recommends: nothing Suggests: nothing

cmp.py - compare two files. remove-old-files.py - does what the name says: it removes old files. It's a portable replacement for `find start_dir -type f -mtime +31 -delete`. rm.py - remove files.
Documentation Download: ppu.tar.bz2 git clone https://git.phdru.name/ppu.git git clone git://git.phdru.name/ppu.git Requires: nothing Recommends: nothing Suggests: nothing

sqlconvert - a library to perform SQL conversions. It uses sqlparse to parse SQL. The library is in the early stage of development and currently cannot do much. The first goal is to implement mysql2sql, a script intended primarily to convert mysqldump output (especially with extended INSERT syntax) to standard SQL to load at least to PostgreSQL or SQLite.
Documentation, Download: sqlconvert.tar.bz2 git clone https://git.phdru.name/sqlconvert.git git clone git://git.phdru.name/sqlconvert.git Requires: sqlparse , SQLObject Recommends: nothing Suggests: nothing

Miscellanea

PEPs written by me.

rgb - an example of how to use PyGreSQL (PostgreSQL<=>Python interface)

License: GPL
Download: rgz.tgz
Requires: PyGreSQL, PostgreSQL, web server
Recommends: rgb.txt from X11
Suggests: nothing

rgb_connect.py: Module that hides connection details; later if you want move/rename your database or programs, or change user/password, you just need to edit one file.
init_rgb.py: Program that parses rgb.txt (from X11, not included here) and put table of colors into rgb database. The database must exists, so run "createdb rgb" before init_rgb.py.
check_255.py: Very simple program that checks whether color parts are (not) exceeds 255.
init_rgb_checked.py: The same as init_rgb.py, but it combined with check_255.py.
rgb.cgi: CGI script that draws colors from rgb database and generates HTML table full of colors. The program wants one parameter "cube=N", where N is integer 1..8 - these are just 8 subcubes of big color cube.

Outdated code

skype4py-patches - 3 patches for Skype4py, the most notable is a patch to prevent segfaults.
License: Public domain Download: skype4py-patches.tar.bz2 Requires: Skype4py Upd. The patches were incoroprated into Skype4Py.	Inside the archive: segfault.patch Initialize GLib to prevent segfaults. exec.patch Fixed the number of parameters for execlp call to start skype. systembus.patch Allow to choose SystemBus instead of SessionBus on D-Bus. combined.patch Combined patch - all three in one.

other_Lib - modules written by other people.
License: unknown Download: other_lib.tar.gz Requires: nothing Recommends: nothing Suggests: nothing Inside the archive: strptime.py This is rather old module that come before time.strptime() appeared in standard Python library (1.5.2). I extended it a bit and added Russian names for days, months, etc (both koi8-r and windows-1251 encodings).	html.py My version of Neale Pickett's html.py - object-oriented HTML generator. timeoutsocket.py A copy of timeoutsocket.py.

mCorrect - Some patches I made for standard library. Now mostly obsolete. Detailed description is available.
Download: mcorrect.tgz Requires: nothing Recommends: nothing Suggests: nothing Inside the archive: tempfile.py, tempfile.diff DOS-related patches.	os.py, os.diff DJGPP-related patches. dospopen.py Low-level classes to help implement DOS version of popen(). Actual implementation is in os.py.

Extract MIME - template programs that show how to write tools to extract MIME attachments from incoming mail messages. Detailed description is available.
Download: extract_mime.tgz Requires: nothing Recommends: nothing Suggests: nothing	Inside the archive: extract_mime.py The template program. extract_mime Shell wrapper to use extract_mime.py from /etc/aliases or such.

Download: bdftogd.py and mk_gdfonts Requires: m_Lib Recommends: nothing Suggests: nothing	Description: bdftogd.py Program to convert BDF (XWindows) fonts to GD format. Tested with gd 1.2. mk_gdfonts Shell script to generate all gd fonts in once.
My colleague Vitus Wagner maintaied a page with Cyrillic fonts, converted from fonts created by Sergey Vakulenko. Fonts tested with gd 1.2.
