I don't understand why I get this threading error by just using the threading module. It works fine without the threading module.
I searched on internet, but I don't get the appropriate answer.
Add the following line before the try statement:
connSkt = None
Also modify the close part:
if connSkt is not None:
connSkt.close()

I've seen a couple questions similar to this, but they both appear to involve VBA and not Python.
This is a relatively recent error, so I suspect it might have something to do with the fact that I'm using Python 3.7 now.
Basically, using the Dispatch method from win32com.client, I am able to open a new Excel workbook and make my edits as I always have been. However, for some reason, I am unable to tell the application to quit successfully.
Used to be that I could write:
self.excel_app.Quit()
But now, I'm getting an AttributeError, of all things. Saying the Excel.Application does not have a Quit() attribute. Again, this is Python 3.7. What happened?
[EDIT]
Relevant code:
import sys
from win32com.client import Dispatch
#...
class X(object):
def __init__(self):
#...
self.excel_app = Dispatch("Excel.Application")
self.report_workbook = self.excel_app.Workbooks.Add()
#...
def close_excel(self):
try:
self.excel_app.Quit()
except Exception as ex:
sys.stdout.write("Could not quit application.\n-> ({}) {}\n".format(ex.__class__.__name__, ex))
self.excel_app = None
The exception printed to the terminal is:
Could not quit application.
(AttributeError) Excel.Application.Quit
Turns out that my error was coming from the fact that I was still using threading.Thread as the base class for the object trying to do this. Apparently it doesn't work so well with the Dispatch Excel objects anymore, and I'm trying to move away from Threads anyway.
So I have this GUI that I made with tkinter and everything works well. What it does is connects to servers and sends commands for both Linux or Windows. I went ahead and used pyinstaller to create a windowed GUI without console and when I try to uses a specific function for sending Windows commands it will fail. If I create the GUI with a console that pops up before the GUI, it works like a charm. What I'm trying to figure out is how to get my GUI to work with the console being invisible to the user.
The part of my code that has the issue revolves around subprocess. To spare you all from the 400+ lines of code I wrote, I'm providing the specific code that has issues. Here is the snippet:
def rcmd_in(server):
import subprocess as sp
for i in command_list:
result = sp.run(['C:/"Path to executable"/rcmd.exe', '\\\\' + server, i],
universal_newlines=True, stdout=sp.PIPE, stderr=sp.STDOUT)
print(result.stdout)
The argument 'server' is passed from another function that calls to 'rcmd_in' and 'command_list' is a mutable list created in the root of the code, accessible for all functions.
Now, I have done my due diligence. I scoured multiple searches and came up with an edit to my code that makes an attempt to run my code with that console invisible, found using info from this link: recipe-subprocess. Here is what the edit looks like:
def rcmd_in(server):
import subprocess as sp
import os, os.path
si = sp.STARTUPINFO()
si.dwFlags |= sp.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
for i in command_list:
result = sp.run(['C:/"Path to executable"/rcmd.exe', '\\\\' + server, i],
universal_newlines=True, stdin=sp.PIPE, stdout=sp.PIPE,
stderr=sp.STDOUT, startupinfo=si, env=os.environ)
print(result.stdout)
The the problem I have now is when it runs an error of "Error:8 - Internal error -109" pops up. Let me add I tried using functions 'call()', 'Popen()', and others but only 'run()' seems to work.
I've reached a point where my brain hurts and I can use some help. Any suggestions? As always I am forever great full for anyone's help. Thanks in advance!
I figured it out and it only took me 5 days! :D
Looks like the reason the function would fail falls on how Windows handles stdin. I found a post that helped me edit my code to work with pyinstaller -w (--noconsole). Here is the updated code:
def rcmd_in(server):
import subprocess as sp
si = sp.STARTUPINFO()
si.dwFlags |= sp.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
for i in command_list:
result = sp.Popen(['C:/"Path to executable"/rcmd.exe', '\\\\' + server, i],
universal_newlines=True, stdin=sp.PIPE, stdout=sp.PIPE,
stderr=sp.PIPE, startupinfo=si)
print(result.stdout.read())
Note the change of functions 'run()' to 'Popen()'. The 'run()' function will not work with the print statement at the end. Also, for those of you who are curious the 'si' variable I created is preventing 'subprocess' from opening a console when being ran while using a GUI. I hope this will become useful to someone struggling with this. Cheers
New to this, apologies for the novice question.
Trying to run a script using Python, Selenium and the unittest module. Have the typical setUp(), test_1, test_2, tearDown() method structure. Since I've added in more than one test, I get the following error:
selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidSessionIdException: Message: Tried to run command without establishing a connection
How can I resolve this?
I have looked into similar problems people have been facing with this issue, but in almost all cases the issue is not related to anything I am encountering (cronjobs for example)
My program looks like this...
class MyTest(unittest.TestCase):
#classmethod
def setUpClass(cls):
#my setup code here...
cls.driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='my_gecko_driver')
cls.driver.get('www.my_url.com')
cls.driver...... # various other tasks
def test_1(self):
# my test code here....
foo = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('/button_elem/')
foo.click()
# etc etc....
def test_2(self):
# my test code here....
bar = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('/button_elem/')
bar.click()
# etc etc....
#classmethod
def tearDown(cls):
print('Entered tearDown function.')
# close the browser window
cls.driver.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
Before I added the second test, the test ran successfully.
Now I am getting the error:
selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidSessionIdException: Message: Tried to run command without establishing a connection
I suspect this is to do with the tearDown method perhaps not working correctly? However I thought this method was called at the end of every test_x upon finishing.
I have also noticed that Pycharm is highlighting 'driver' in the line 'cls.driver.close()' which I am also not too sure about. It says unresolved attribute reference' however is this not created in the setUp() method?
Try switching explicitly between tabs before closing them.
main_page = driver.window_handles[0]
driver.switch_to.window(main_page)
this is because multiple browser sessions are opened at your machine.
if you are on linux run the command
killall firefox
and try to run your script again. This should fix error for you.
I came up with this question when I was trying to use pygame. I wrote the following line
pygame.time.
but pyCharm didn't give me a list of methods to choose. I wanted to use pygame.time.Clock() but when this happened I tried to see the source code of time but I couldn't. I was just able to see the source code of pygame module and in that, there was just the following line on 'time':
try:
import pygame.time
except (ImportError, IOError):
time = MissingModule("time", geterror(), 1)
So my question is that, what is 'time' object and where is it? is it just a compiled python file that came with pygame when I installed it? Can I see the methods inside it or is there a way to let pyCharm suggest the methods inside of it?
So my question is that, what is 'time' object and where is it?
time is not an object it is a module.
Pygame is well documented. A complete documentation of the pygame.time module can be found at pygame.time.
It is not necessary to import the module. Via pygame.time you can access all objects of the module. However, you can import all objects form the module with:
from pygame.time import *
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)
