Today I had a first glance at loops. Might be useful if I want to code, don’t you think? I thought so! So let’s see what I’ve learned:
When I did my 3D everyday project, I uploaded every picture to Twitter. It only takes about a minute, but if you do this everyday, it sums up. It’s also a very repetitive task and therefore a bit annoying. I needed to copy the hashtags from the previous tweet, copy the name of the picture and then add the picture itself to the tweet. Today I wanted to see if I can automate this process with python. It was pretty simple. I followed this excellent tutorial http://nodotcom.org/python-twitter-tutorial.html. It guides you through all the necessary steps to create the keys needed to post to Twitter. I then adjusted the script a bit, so it fits my needs. It now basically …
So today I wondered how easy it is to extract the http status from a response. Well guess what? It is very easy. All you need to do is install a library called urllib.

pip install urllib |
Extracting the http status code and the header information are just two lines of code. Pretty cool.

from urllib.request import urlopen response = urlopen('http://python.org/') statusCode = response.getcode() print("HTTP status code:", statusCode) header |
Today I wanted to see if I can automate my browser easily. Since I already have experience with Selenium, not everything was new to me.

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-infobars") driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options) driver.get('http://www.test.com') contract = driver.find_element_by_name("username") contract. |
Since about a year I felt like I should learn Python. I haven’t analysed different programming languages nor did I think about the pros and cons. I also didn’t pick Python because I think it would be beneficial for my career path. It’s purely out of curiosity and somehow it feels right. I don’t know much about the language at this point. All I know is that it’s good for number crunching and that it’s useful for a whole variety of tasks. I think I’m interested in it, because it makes the automation of network tasks easy. Anyway, I kept on postponing it, until today when I realised that I just need to start at some point. I decided to …
