Basically title, is there anything like this? I googled around a bit but couldn't find anything relevant to Linux only... win32gui postcommand is what I'm looking for an equivalent on Linux
The module python-libxdo should be able to achieve what you wanted to do.
In particular, you can hardcode window id.

Title basically says it all. I'm trying to write a script for backing up my files and I want the script to eject the drive it is backing the data up to after its done copying things. I couldn't really find anything online for libraries or builtin methods of doing this. OS is windows 10.
I apologize in advance if I'm doing something wrong, kind of unfamiliar with SO.
Today it happened to me multiple times. I was using Python 3.4.4 shell on win32. I imported datetime, and did some input like 'print(datetime.datetime.now().date())' and got output right. After a while, I had to type "import datetime" again in order to do similar work (like 'datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc)')
I think the similar problem happened to me before with other module?
Can anyone explain? I was looking for answers here and google but with no luck.
I have the proper CUPS drivers installed: I can print to my Star TSP143LAN using any application with print capability (like Chrome). I can print to this printer using the node-printer module, by specifying either the printer name or the printer’s network address, and setting the print mode to TEXT.
But I can’t seem to format what I print from NodeJS using the node-printer library. If I set the mode to RAW and send commands as specified in Star’s Command Line Emulator manual for this printer, node-printer will report a successful print but nothing happens. It doesn’t print.
I’m attempting to send these RAW commands because I want to do various formatting operations like make the font larger or bold, and so on.
I’ve tried the node-thermal-printer module but I’ve had no luck.
I’ve been scouring the internet for some help on this issue but I haven’t been able to find much. I’ve seen it mentioned that the TSP143 LAN doesn’t communicate in the same way as other star products and it’s best to use Star’s drivers as a go-between, but I’m not sure what that means. (I thought I might be doing that already when specifying the printer’s class name when attempting to print from node-printer...)
I didn’t have much trouble implementing the Star Swift SDK into an iOS app and doing formatting operations there. But I need to print from a NodeJS environment on Linux. I’m at a loss.
If there’s anybody to whom this sounds familiar and can point me in the right direction I’d be very grateful...
Thanks!
After quite a bit of research, it looks like the Star TSP100/TSP143 LAN is not able to print using Line Mode Commands or ESC/POS from Linux: the solution has been to generate a PDF from HTML (using wkhtmltopdf) and then print the PDF using the node printer library (https://github.com/tojocky/node-printer). I have not yet found a better way to properly format prints.
How would I get python to type for me. The only thing I've found was on SendKeys but I can't find the version for python 3.5. Is there any built in module I can use to get python to type for me?
The win32api, assuming windows, has what you need in the keybd_event() function. Documentation here. As for built-ins, not aware of anything like that. Also, see this page.
I have implemented a simple linux shell in c. Now, I am adding some features and one I immediately thought about was to be able to show the last commands with the up arrow.
Question 1:
However, I have no idea how to accomplish this. Do you?
Question 2:
Any comment on how to store the "history" commands are also appreciated. I suppose something like a queue which allows access to all elements would be a good idea. Am I wrong? Do I have to implement it or is there already some good implementation out there I should know about?
Thanks.
Build libedit or readline support into your shell.
If you want to be lazy, you can use rlwrap:
rlwrap prog
I wrote the shell for HelenOS. Grab the bzr repo and navigate to uspace/app/bdsh (bdsh stands for the (b)rain (d)ead (sh)ell).
Other contributors have since added line editing / history / tab completion to the functions that handle input. Its written purely in ANSI C, does not link against glibc and implements its own functions. The code (both in the shell and underlying HelenOS libc) is 3 clause BSD, you can use it in anything.
If nothing else, it might help to just examine the implementation to get started.
