Why 'files.py' does not print the filenames into a table format?

Nick the Gr33k

Hello,

Trying to browse http://superhost.gr/?page=files.py with tailing -F of
the error_log i noticed that error log outputs no error!

So that means that the script is correct.

here are the directory app's files.

The code is as follows:

#
=================================================================================================================
# Convert wrongly encoded filenames to utf-8
#
=================================================================================================================
path = b'/home/nikos/public_html/data/apps/'
filenames = os.listdir( path )

for filename in filenames:
# Compute 'path/to/filename'
filename_bytes = path + filename
encoding = guess_encoding( filename_bytes )

if encoding == 'utf-8':
# File name is valid UTF-8, so we can skip to the next file.
utf8_filenames.append( filename_bytes )
continue
elif encoding is None:
# No idea what the encoding is. Hit it with a hammer until it stops
moving.
filename = filename_bytes.decode( 'utf-8', 'xmlcharrefreplace' )
else:
filename = filename_bytes.decode( encoding )

# Rename the file to something which ought to be UTF-8 clean.
newname_bytes = filename.encode('utf-8')
os.rename( filename_bytes, newname_bytes )
utf8_filenames.append( newname_bytes )

# Once we get here, the file ought to be UTF-8 clean and the Unicode
name ought to exist:

# Switch filenames from utf8 bytestrings => unicode strings
filenames = []

for utf8_filename in utf8_filenames:

# Check the presence of a database file against the dir files and delete
record if it doesn't exist
cur.execute('''SELECT url FROM files''')

print( '''</table><br><br>''' )
except pymysql.ProgrammingError as e:

===========================================
PLEASE take a look, its not a huge code, the encoding was of Steven
idea's, so from another thread is a bit more or less already known to
the most of you.

I just want to know why it doesn't print anything.

Thank you and please whoever does not feel like helping, please at least
not spam the thread.

Nick, at this point, you need to hire someone to do your work for you.

The code is completely ready.
Some detail is missing and its not printing the files as expected.

Irrelevant to my question i just noticed weird behavior about my
pelatologio.py script which can be seen here:

http://superhost.gr/?show=stats

The first 3 files are of my doing.
All the rest are of someone else's that managed to append entries into
my counters database utilizing this code:

================

try:
#find the needed counter for the page URL
cur.execute('''SELECT ID FROM counters WHERE url = %s''', page )
data = cur.fetchone() #URL is unique, so should only be one

if not data:
#first time for page; primary key is automatic, hit is defaulted
cur.execute('''INSERT INTO counters (url) VALUES (%s)''', page )
cID = cur.lastrowid #get the primary key value of the new record
======================

Does someone want to state something?

Look, Nick,

A lot of people are frustrated by you. You should understand that. If
you cannot, you need to step back and consider, or you really are a
troll.

Now, obviously it's not going to get you any help to have half of the
forum angry at you. People have stopped helping, at least in large.
This is fine; people here are volunteers. But you want help.

So, Nick, listen. You need to learn how to ask *smart* questions. If
you do, I *guarantee* that people will respect you a lot more. I'll be
willing to give a bit of time to explain what I mean.

1) What is your problem. Not "I want to know why it doesn't print
anything." Here's an example, for some random idea:
I've written some code to find the first file in a directory which
is not UTF-8. Lines 40-42 are meant to print out the file found
to a log ("/home/joshua/.logs/log"). Unfortunately, although
there is no error, no file is printed to the log.

2) What have you tried? What debugging have you done? For someone of
your skill level, it's also important to tell us what you think your
code is doing. Example:
I've tried checking for a failure - when there is no non-UTF-8 file
in the directory the appropriate error is raised. I think this should
mean that the "else" after the "for" loop would be run, and this
should run the lines 40-42 above when there *is* a non-UTF-8
file.

3) If possible, give us an example we can run.
To make helping easier, I've removed the code that searches the
directory as I know that works, and instead there's a list of BytesIO
and StringIO objects that pretend to be them. The bug is still
there.

Do you see the difference?

#first time for page; primary key is automatic, hit
is defaulted
cur.execute('''INSERT INTO counters (url) VALUES
(%s)''', page )

======================

Sure. Here I go:

What's the question?

Your arrogance clearly has no bounds. This is a public forum and people
can say what they like. You've wasted enough time as it is, so why
don't you simply bugger off.

Sure, whoever wrote that code is a fool.

http://xkcd.com/327/

They didn't sanitize your database inputs.

I assume you're talking about the above two lines of code? They're not
SQL injection targets. The clue is that the %s isn't in quotes. This
is an out-of-band argument passing method (actually, since he's using
MySQL (IIRC), it's probably just going to escape it and pass it on
through, but it comes to the same thing), so it's safe.

Yes it is.

Only if its relative to the OP's question, otherwise its trolling to an
other's person thread.

The only time i'm wasting is that of folk's trying to respond to my
questions.

You are the one that wants to waste his time if you take the time and
read my posts and also take more time to bitch-respond.

I said to you and others before. Kill-file me, or mute my threads or
ignore me if you do not like me and my questions.

Then how those page entries found in the database Chris?
The clue is that the %s isn't in quotes.

What happens if i write it like this?

cur.execute('''SELECT ID FROM counters WHERE url = "%s"''', page )

How quoting of %s helps here?
This is an out-of-band argument passing method (actually, since he's using
MySQL (IIRC), it's probably just going to escape it and pass it on
through, but it comes to the same thing), so it's safe.

Yes iam using a comma and not a substitute operator, so input is mysql
validates.

Please explain what is an "out-of-band argument passing method"

What your idea of those entries made it to the counters database table?

Chris or someone else please explain a bit whats happening here because

I have no intention of kill-filing you, muting your threads or ignoring

hole somewhere and leave this group in peace.

Here is how i think i have dealt with it:

=================
path = '/home/nikos/public_html/'
cgi_path = '/home/nikos/public_html/cgi-bin/'

file = form.getvalue('file') # this comes from .htaccess
page = form.getvalue('page') # this comes form index.html or metrites.py

if not page and os.path.exists( file ):
# it is an html template
page = file.replace( path, '' )

......
......

#find the needed counter for the page URL
if os.path.exists( path + page ) or os.path.exists( cgi_path + page ):
cur.execute('''SELECT ID FROM counters WHERE url = %s''', page )
data = cur.fetchone() #URL is unique

==================

Do you think i'am sfae now from those kind of attacks?
Do you see some other way, better, to write the above?

No such luck i'm afraid for you.
And it seems to me that you are the one that doesn't leave this group in
piece, not me.


ps to other members: Is there any way in ThunderBird that i kill file
Mark? Never have to used kill-filing before but i'll start now.

PLEASE take a look, its not a huge code

First, you need to start writing your code to less than 80 columns if
you're going to keep posting it to usenet. I'm sure I'm not the only
person who can't be bothered to unwrap it.

Secondly, the code you posted only tells part of the story - it's
obviously missing either relevant imports or defined functions or
possibly both.

Third, it would help to see examples of (a) what you expect it to
generate, and (b) what it actually generates. You obviously have a web
server available to you - you could put both code (just append .txt to
the filename) and screenshots from your browser there with no difficulty
at all and just include links.

Nikos,

Have you considered subscribing to this?

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-greece


Possibly some of these concepts will be easier for you to understand if
explained to you in your native language. Or you might be able to join a
local Users Group who can help you.

Thank you Steven i don't want to enter there as mail but wish to find it
as a newsgroups, which i tried to subscribe but TB couldn't find it.

Also i have no trouble understand you guys in English or express myself
here. I like English.

And i'm under the impression that foreigners are more helpful from
Greeks. At least that's what experience have tought me in a local linux
group for many years.

I prefer staying here but i can also subscribe there as well if you teel
me what the groups name.

TB behaves for me the same way. Any line > 80 chars gets a newline.
Why this is happening? Why not post up to 256 chars in a single line?

Actually i twas a short story since i have asked this already in 2
previous threads of mine, but here it is the whole thing pasted in
pastebin. Its not so biug and with your talent you could understand it
in aprox. 5 mins.
