I've been trying to see if I can use python-decouple to place my bot credentials on a separate .env file.
Auth method is basically right off the praw doc:
reddit = praw.Reddit(
client_id=config('CLIENT_ID'),
client_secret=config('CLIENT_SECRET'),
password=config('PASSWORD'),
user_agent=config('USER_AGENT'),
username=config('USERNAME')
)
However, whenever I try it, it seems to return an 403 auth error. I work my way back, replacing the decouple configs with strings of the actual details, but it doesn't seem to follow through, and the errors that occur seem random depending on what and when things I take out.
Is this a problem with how decouple functions?
Thanks.

Why not use a praw.ini file? This is documented here in PRAW documentation. It's a format for storing Reddit credentials in a separate file from your code. For example, a praw.ini file may look like:
[bot1]
client_id=Y4PJOclpDQy3xZ
client_secret=UkGLTe6oqsMk5nHCJTHLrwgvHpr
password=pni9ubeht4wd50gk
username=fakebot1
[bot2]
client_id=6abrJJdcIqbclb
client_secret=Kcn6Bj8CClyu4FjVO77MYlTynfj
password=mi1ky2qzpiq8s59j
username=fakebot2
You then use specific credentials in your code like so:
import praw
reddit = praw.Reddit('bot2', user_agent='myBot v0.1')
print('Logged in as', reddit.user.me())
I think this is the best solution for working with PRAW credentials.
However, if you really want to do it with python-decouple, here's a working example:
Contents of file .env:
username=k8IA
password=REDACTED
client_id=REDACTED
client_secret=REDACTED
Contents of file connect.py:
import praw
from decouple import config
reddit = praw.Reddit(username=config('username'),
password=config('password'),
client_id=config('client_id'),
client_secret=config('client_secret'),
user_agent='myBot v0.1')
print('Logged in as', reddit.user.me())
Output when running python3 connect.py:
Logged in as k8IA

I’ve tried looking for a similar question but couldn’t find one. Sorry if this question has already been asked.
To my question, I’ve created a flask application that creates a database instance using SQLalchemy. My question is how do I access this .db file from my command prompt? I’d like for example get a list of all the users. In my app I’d write User.query.all() but it gets messy quickly. I’d rather just do it from the command line on my Mac if possible.
Thanks in advance!!
What I’ve tried from the terminal:
sqlite3 database.db
User.query.all() (nothing happens)
And then:
python3 main.py
User.query.all() (nothing happens)
sqlite3 is correct to open the database file. you're going to need to use SQL statements from terminal:
sqlite3 database.db
show tables;
select * from Users; # depends on your table names, obviously
insert into Users... # and so on, please refer to sqlite3 manual if you need to or ask a direct question about what you're trying to manually do to the database
The python3 command is just going to run the interpreter across main.py.. I think flask is started with flask run but you're probably looking for flask shell .. it's been a minute for me on flask, sorry.

In many documentations, instead of giving the actual command on how to call a method or function, the path to the respective method is listed (e.g.networkx.drawing.nx_pylab.draw_networkx instead of nx.draw() (that is a path, right?)) I find that annoying as I sometimes have to extra look up examples where the actual command is then shown.
Is it possible to get the information on how to call a function from the given path? Something like:
help(networkx.drawing.nx_pylab.draw_networkx)
Yes it is possible. In python that is called introspection.
For example:
import pandas as pd
print(dir(pd))
this would show you all the methods in the pd module.
Then if you want to know how to use a certain method you would use:
import pandas as pd
print(help(pd.DataFrame))
NOTE: If you don't see anything helpful, it means there may not be clear documentation, in which case you can go to pypi.org, search for your module then look for the documentation (though the code above reflects the documentation on that site). IF that fails, stackoverflow is your best friend :)
I wrote a simple set of python3 files for emulating a small set of mongodb features on a 32 bit platform. I fired up PyCharm and put together a directory that looked like:
minu/
client.py
database.py
collection.py
test_client.py
test_database.py
test_client.py
My imports are simple. For example, client.py has the following at the top:
from collection import Collection
Basically, client has a Client class, collection has a Collection class, and database has a Database class. Not too tough.
As long as I cd into the minu directory, I can fire up a python3 interpreter and do things like:
>>> from client import Client
>>> c = Client(pathstring='something')
And everything just works. I can run the test_files as well, which use the same sorts of imports.
I'd like to modularize this, so I can use it another project by just dropping the minu directory alongside my application's .py files and just have everything work. When I do this though, and am running python3 from another directory, the local imports don't work. I placed an empty init.py in the minu directory. That made it so I could import minu. But the others broke. I tried using things like from .collection import Collection (added the dot), but then I can't run things in the original directory anymore, like I could before. What is the simple/right way to do this?
I have looked around a bit with Dr. Google, but none of the examples really clarify it well, feel free to point out the one I missed
In this file ...minu/__init__.py import the submodules you wish to expose externally.
If the __init__.py file contains the following lines, and the client.py file has a variable foo.
import client
import collection
import database
Then from above the minu directory, the following will work:
from minu.client import foo
This script is giving ma a 500 Error, any ideas?
I am taking the script from a page from python samples and also using the path given to me by my hosting company (and I know it works because I have another script that does work.)
The file has 755 permissions as well as it's directory:
#!/home3/master/bin/python
import sys
sys.path.insert(1,'/home3/master/lib/python2.6/site-packages')
from twython import Twython
twitter = Twython()
trends = twitter.getCurrentTrends()
print trends
There are two problems with this code. The first is you have not included any OAuth data, so the Twitter API will reject whatever you send. The second is there is no getCurrentTrends() attribute in Twython. Did you mean get_available_trends or get_closest_trends?
I have python 3.3 installed.
i use the example they use on their site:
import urllib.request
response = urllib.request.urlopen('http://python.org/')
html = response.read()
the only thing that happens when I run it is I get this :
======RESTART=========
I know I am a rookie but I figured the example from python's own website should be able to work.
It doesn't. What am I doing wrong?Eventually I want to run this script from the website below. But I think urllib is not going to work as it is on that site. Can someone tell me if the code will work with python3.3???
http://flowingdata.com/2007/07/09/grabbing-weather-underground-data-with-beautifulsoup/
I think I see what's probably going on. You're likely using IDLE, and when it starts a new run of a program, it prints the
======RESTART=========
line to tell you that a fresh program is starting. That means that all the variables currently defined are reset and/or deleted, as appropriate.
Since your program didn't print any output, you didn't see anything.
The two lines I suggested adding were just tests to figure out what was going on, they're not needed in general. [Unless the window itself is automatically closing, which it shouldn't.] But as a rule, if you want to see output, you'll have to print what you're interested in.
Your example works for me. However, I suggest using requests instead of urllib2.
To simplify the example you linked to, it would look like:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
resp = requests.get("http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KBUF/2007/12/16/DailyHistory.html")
soup = BeautifulSoup(resp.text)
