How to use tabulate in python3 dictionary while using loops - python-3.x

Question

I'm trying to print the dictionary data into a tabular form , for now i see tabulate module as a easy way to test but somehow the data i'm getting thats coming the good way but the header informaion is repeating on each run for the user ID, please guide or suggest how to do that.....
$ cat checktable.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
import subprocess
import pandas as pd
from tabulate import tabulate
def CheckUid(user):
proc = subprocess.Popen("ldapsearch -h ldapserver -D 'cn=directory manager' -w pass123 -LLLb 'ou=people,o=rraka.com' 'uid=%s' managerlogin" % (user), shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
info_str = proc.stdout.read().decode('utf8')
split_str = info_str.split()
if len(split_str) > 1:
raw_data = {'UserID': [split_str[1].split(',')[0].split('=')[1]], 'MangerID': [split_str[-1]]}
headers = ["UserID", "MangerID"]
return tabulate(raw_data, headers, tablefmt="simple")
else:
split_str = 'null'
def CallUid():
with open('hh', mode='rt', encoding='utf-8') as f:
for line in f.readlines():
print(CheckUid(line))
if __name__ == '__main__':
CallUid()
This returns the below data:
$ ./checktable.py
UserID MangerID
-------- ----------
aashishp rpudota
UserID MangerID
-------- ----------
abaillie davem
UserID MangerID
-------- ----------
abishek kalyang
UserID MangerID
Expected output:
$ ./checktable.py
UserID MangerID
-------- ----------
aashishp rpudota
abaillie davem
abishek kalyang
Another alternative code:
#!/usr/bin/python3
import sys
import subprocess
from tabulate import tabulate
def CheckUid(user):
proc = subprocess.Popen("ldapsearch -h its3 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w JatetRE3 -LLLb 'ou=people,o=cadence.com' 'uid=%s' managerlogin" % (user), shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
info_str = proc.stdout.read().decode('utf8')
split_str = info_str.split()
if len(split_str) > 1:
raw_data = {'UserID': split_str[1].split(',')[0].split('=')[1], 'Manger': split_str[-1]}
for key, value in raw_data.items():
print(key, ":", value)
else:
split_str = 'null'
def CallUid():
with open('hh', mode='rt', encoding='utf-8') as f:
for line in f.readlines():
CheckUid(line)
if __name__ == '__main__':
CallUid()
It comes as below, where i need every two line two be into one..
$ ./checktable2.py
UserID : aashishp
Manger : rpudota
UserID : abaillie
Manger : davem
While desired would be:
$ ./checktable2.py
UserID : aashishp Manger : rpudota
UserID : abaillie Manger : davem

Answer 1

After Struggling as a learner, I came around with the below variant of codes as a solution to my own questions:
1) The First code is using the pandas module:
$ cat check_ldapUserdata.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
import pandas as pd
import subprocess
user_list = []
mngr_list = []
def CheckUid(user):
proc = subprocess.Popen("ldapsearch -h ldapserver -D 'cn=directory manager' -w JatetRE3 -LLLb 'ou=people,o=rraka.com' 'uid=%s' managerlogin" % (user), shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
info_str = proc.stdout.read().decode('utf8')
split_str = info_str.split()
if len(split_str) > 1:
user = split_str[1].split(',')[0].split('=')[1]
manager = split_str[-1]
user_list.append(user)
mngr_list.append(manager)
else:
split_str = 'null'
def DataList():
df = pd.DataFrame({'User':user_list, 'Manager':mngr_list})
df = df[['User', 'Manager']] # To keep the order of columns
#return df
print(df)
def CallUid():
with open('testu', mode='rt', encoding='utf-8') as f:
for line in f.readlines():
CheckUid(line)
if __name__ == '__main__':
CallUid()
DataList()
Result Output is as Follows...
$ ./check_ldapUserdata.py
User Manager
0 karn benjamin
1 niraj vikashg
2 vaithees benjamin
3 mauj benjamin
2) The another way I achived it with using Regular Expression &
BeautifulTable module to get the table Format..
$ cat check_ldapUserdata2.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
import re
import subprocess
from beautifultable import BeautifulTable
table = BeautifulTable()
table.column_headers = ["User", "Manager"]
def CheckUid(user):
proc = subprocess.Popen("ldapsearch -h ldapserver -D 'cn=directory manager' -w pass123 -LLLb 'ou=people,o=rraka.com' 'uid=%s' managerlogin" % (user), shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
info_str = proc.stdout.read().decode('utf8')
pat_match = re.match(".*uid=(.*?)\,.*\nmanagerlogin:\s+(.*)",info_str)
if pat_match:
table.append_row([pat_match.group(1), pat_match.group(2)])
def CallUid():
input_file=input("Please enter the file name : ")
with open(input_file, mode='rt', encoding='utf-8') as f:
for line in f.readlines():
CheckUid(line)
print(table)
if __name__ == '__main__':
CallUid()
Result Output as as below....
$ ./check_ldapUserdata2.py
Please enter the file name : testu
+----------+----------+
| User | Manager |
+----------+----------+
| karn | benjamin |
+----------+----------+
| niraj | vikashg |
+----------+----------+
| vaithees | benjamin |
+----------+----------+
| mauj | benjamin |
+----------+----------+
3) Another Simple non tabular Form but working ..
$ cat check_table_working1.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
import subprocess
def CheckUid(user):
proc = subprocess.Popen("ldapsearch -h ldapserver -D 'cn=directory manager' -w pass123 -LLLb 'ou=people,o=rraka.com' 'uid=%s' managerlogin" % (user), shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
info_str = proc.stdout.read().decode('utf8')
split_str = info_str.split()
if len(split_str) > 1:
raw_data = {split_str[1].split(',')[0].split('=')[1] : split_str[-1]}
#raw_data = {'UserID': split_str[1].split(',')[0].split('=')[1], 'Manger': split_str[-1]}
for key, value in raw_data.items():
#print(key, ":", value)
print('{} : {}'.format(key, value))
else:
split_str = 'null'
def CallUid():
with open('hh', mode='rt', encoding='utf-8') as f:
for line in f.readlines():
CheckUid(line)
if __name__ == '__main__':
CallUid()
Result output of the above is as below...
$ ./check_table_working1.py
aashishp : rpudota
abaillie : davem
abishek : kalyang
adik : venky
adithya : jagi
