folder path with space giving error in subprocess.call - python-3.x

drivesToMap = ["R: \\\\server1\folder", "G: \\\\server1\folder withSpace"]
for eachDrive in drivesToMap:
call("net use " + eachDrive)
In python 3 on a windows 10 machine I am getting the following error for the code above :
System error 1232 has occurred.
The network location cannot be reached. For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.
How do I resolve the space? When I type in the command from a doc cmd it works succussfully:
net use G: \server1\folder withSpace

You likely need to wrap the drive in an additional set of quotes, since net use is a command prompt command it is anticipating that the drive name (which has spaces) is actually multiple arguments instead of one.
For instance:
drivesToMap = ["'R: \\\\server1\folder'", "'G: \\\\server1\folder withSpace'"]

How to check if the environment variable "PROJ_LIB" is defined and how to unset it ? (PyQGIS Standalone Script Executer)

I just tried the standalone PyQGIS application by running the custom script "Proximity.py"* in a VS Code project without the need of a GUI (such as QGIS).
But, when I run the python-program I get the following message:
proj_create_from_database: C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\share\contrib\postgis-3.2\proj\proj.db contains DATABASE.LAYOUT.VERSION.MINOR = 0 whereas a number >= 2 is expected. It comes from another PROJ installation. (see also: Error Message after launching the configuration (launch.json) from VS Code (when pressing F5))
I'm trying this online example with the following installations:
PostgreSQL 14
Python39
.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2022.4.1\pythonFiles\lib\python\debugpy\launcher
osgeo4w-setup.exe (including QGIS LTR)
I read that there is a solution by undefining [PROJ_LIB] before importing pyproj or osgeo: del os.environ ['PROJ_LIB'] as described under this link. If this is also supposed to be the correct solution in this case, can someone help me with step-by-step instructions (for dummies)?
. * The "Proximity.py" script is a pyqgis standalone example from "https://github.com/MarByteBeep/pyqgis-standalone"
Finally, I got a solution to be able to run the "standalone PyQGIS"* example "Proximity" (provided by MarByteBeep).
This solution was possible without needing to launch the configuration file "launch.json" as above described. And so, avoiding the need to make any configuration to the environment variable "PROJ_LIB" by trying to circumvent the above issue.
I just first added the following two code-lines (see here line 2 and 3) in the python file "main.py" so as to be able to use the plugin "PROCESSING" (initially line 8 of the "main.py" file), then I store it and finally I ran it.
Line 1: from qgis.core import
Line 2: import sys
Line 3: sys.path.append('C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.24.1\apps\qgis\python\plugins')
Line 4: qgs = QgsApplication([], False)
Line 5: ...
The Proximity example is based on the answer of "Mar Tjin" to the following Question: "Looking for manual on how to properly setup standalone PyQGIS without GUI"
. * By "Standalone PyQGIS" I refer to code/scripts that can be run outside the QGIS-GUI (=> QGIS-Desktop/Server Application). In my case under the external Editor VS Code

running SALOME in windows 10 gives "Can't find a free port" error

I'm trying to run SALOME GUI using run_salome.bat. GUI doesn't start and gives "Can't find a free port to launch omniNamesTry to kill the running servers and then launch SALOME again." error.
SALOME version 9.4
Windows 10
I have searched the files in C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming that contain "omniORB_PortManager" in their name and deleted them.
Here the issue can be resolved be removing several files generated by SALOME.
start a Windows file browser
in the search bar, type: %userprofile%\.config\salome
delete all files present in that directory
in the search bar, type: %APPDATA%\salome
remove all files present in that directory
in the search bar, type: %APPDATA%
delete all files wich name starts with: .omni
delete file: .salome_PortManager.cfg
Finally, I strongly suggest to raise such questions directly on SALOME forum at this link

Sybase 16 startserver failed due to missing libsapcrypto.so

We've installed Sybase 16 Express in our Linux box, it was able to startup right after the installation. When we recently try restarting it with the startserver -f RUN_FILE command, it failed to find the libsapcrypto.so file.
~/sap/ASE-16_0/bin> ../sap/ASE-16_0/bin/dataserver: error while loading shared libraries: libsapcrypto.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
We searched this file, multiple matches presented in the following paths:
./DM/OCS-16_0/lib3p/libsapcrypto.so
./DM/OCS-16_0/lib3p64/libsapcrypto.so
./DM/OCS-16_0/devlib3p64/libsapcrypto.so

./OCS-16_0/devlib3p/libsapcrypto.so
Since this hasn't been answered yet, running this command worked for me:
. /opt/sap/SYBASE.sh
Note the different syntax to make sure the environment variables are set in the terminal session, as opposed to using this syntax:
/opt/sap/SYBASE.sh

require errors show private instead of actual file path

Today I got surprised by the following (you can try at node repl):
require("/tmp/bad.json")
SyntaxError: /private/tmp/bad.json: Unexpected token n in JSON at position 3
As you can see, I required (intentionally) a JSON file that contains a syntax error. However, on the error message, instead of the actual file path, which starts at '/tmp/' you can see that it has been replaced by the string /private/.
Why is this?
I'm using node v8.15.0
This has nothing to do with Node or the node version but with the operating system. In this case, I was using OSX, where /tmp is just a symbolic link to /private/tmp. Then when the error was triggered the actual path is showing.

Win10: ASDF can't load system (ASDF_OUTPUT_TRANSLATION error)

Update 2
I think #faré is right, it's an output translation problem.
So I declared the evironment variable ASDF_OUTPUT_TRANSLATIONS and set it to E:/. Now (asdf:require-system "my-system") yields a different error: Uneven number of components in source to destination mapping: "E:/" which led me to this SO-topic.
Unfortunately, his solution doesn't work for me. So I tried the other answer and set ASDF_OUTPUT_TRANSLATIONS to (:output-translations (t "E:/")). Now I get yet another error:
Invalid source registry (:OUTPUT-TRANSLATIONS (T "E:/")).
One and only one of
:INHERIT-CONFIGURATION or
:IGNORE-INHERITED-CONFIGURATION
is required.
(will be skipped)
Original Posting
I have a simple system definition but can't get ASDF to load it.
(asdf-version 3.1.5, sbcl 1.3.12 (upgraded to 1.3.18 AMD64), slime 2.19, Windows 10)
What I have tried so far
Following the ASDF manual: "4.1 Configuring ASDF to find your systems"
There it says:
For Windows users, and starting with ASDF 3.1.5, start from your
%LOCALAPPDATA%, which is usually ~/AppData/Local/ (but you can ask in
a CMD.EXE terminal echo %LOCALAPPDATA% to make sure) and underneath
create a subpath config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf.d/
That's exactly what I did:
Echoing %LOCALAPPDATA% which evaluates to C:\Users\my-username\AppData\Local
Underneath I created the subfolders config\common-lisp\source-registry.conf.d\ (In total: C:\Users\my-username\AppData\Local\config\common-lisp\source-registry.conf.d\
The manual continues:
there create a file with any name of your choice but with the type conf, for instance 50-luser-lisp.conf; in this file, add the following line to tell ASDF to recursively scan all the subdirectories under /home/luser/lisp/ for .asd files: (:tree "/home/luser/lisp/")
That’s enough. You may replace /home/luser/lisp/ by wherever you want to install your source code.
In the source-registry.conf.d folder I created the file my.conf and put in it (:tree "C:/Users/my-username/my-systems/"). This folder contains a my-system.asd.
And here comes the weird part:
If I now type (asdf:require-system "my-system") in the REPL I get the following error:
Can't create directory C:\Users\my-username\AppData\Local\common-lisp\sbcl-1.3.12-win-x86\C\Users\my-username\my-systems\C:\
So the problem is not that ASDF doesn't find the file, it does -- but (whatever the reason) it tries to create a really weird subfolder hierarchy which ultimately fails because at the end it tries to create the folder C: but Windows doesn't allow foldernames containing a colon.
Another approach: (push path asdf:*central-registry*)
If I try
> (push #P"C:/Users/my-username/my-systems/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(#P"C:/Users/my-username/my-systems/"
#P"C:/Users/my-username/AppData/Roaming/quicklisp/quicklisp/")
> (asdf:require-system "my-system")
I get the exact same error.
I don't know what to do.
Update
Because of the nature of the weird path ASDF was trying to create I thought maybe I could bypass the problem by specifying a relative path instead of an absolute one.
So I tried
  (:tree "\\Users\\my-username\\my-systems")
in my conf file. Still the same error.
Ahem. It looks like an output-translations problem.
I don't have a Windows machine right now, but this all used to work last time I tried.
Can you setup some ad hoc output-translations for now that will make it work?
