I'd want to attempt out a new Python script that automatically exports/extracts a user's chrome-saved usernames and passwords. When you go into Chrome settings, for example, you can extract a CSV file containing the user's saved usernames and passwords.
I'm having problems locating resources online to help me with this task, and I'd appreciate some advice on articles, links, and other resources that might put me in the right direction. I also understand that Chrome saves a "Login Data" local file in the app data folder. Is this file in any way related to what I'm trying to accomplish?
Ideally, the program will look something like this: The user has prompted to input a folder for a target path, if the target path is on the working directory (error checking) then extract the chrome CSV file to the target folder. To be imported later.

Im having a difficult time trying to pull files and folders in one of my automated tests using appium. We use real devices for testing and I would like to use driver.pull_file() to accomplish this task. The files I want exist in the On My iPad folder, and I cannot figure out how to get the file path of the actual file in that location on the device.
Does anyone know where exactly I can find the right path? or what it would look like?

I am relatively new to web development and very new to using Web2py. The application I am currently working on is intended to take in a CSV upload from a user, then generate a PDF file based on the contents of the CSV, then allow the user to download that PDF. As part of this process I need to generate and access several intermediate files that are specific to each individual user (these files would be images, other pdfs, and some text files). I don't need to store these files in a database since they can be deleted after the session ends, but I am not sure the best way or place to store these files and keep them separate based on each session. I thought that maybe the subfolders in the sessions folder would make sense, but I do not know how to dynamically get the path to the correct folder for the current session. Any suggestions pointing me in the right direction are appreciated!
I was having this error "TypeError: expected string or Unicode object, NoneType found" and I had to store just a link in the session to the uploaded document in the db or maybe the upload folder in your case. I would store it to upload to proceed normally, and then clear out the values and the file if not 'approved'?
If the information is not confidential in similar circumstances, I directly write the temporary files under /tmp.
I can get python to open an excel file and then save that same excel file, but that’s causing issues when I merge cells and then try to run the program again. I could resolve this issue if I can open the same excel template via python every time and then when the program is finished, it will save that excel file as a user defined name within the same folder the template was opened from. I know there is a saveAs function but I can’t find enough information to be able to get it to work. Thank you!
I currently have a main python script which is working by analyzing a given csv file present in its own local working folder. With the aim of automatizing the process of analyzing more than one csv file, I'm currently trying to build another script which is performing the following tasks:
Download in local working folder a csv file, identified by its own name among the many in an online repository (a OneDrive folder), for which I have the corresponding URL (for the OneDrive folder, not directly the file).
Run the main script and analyze it.
Remove the analyzed csv file from local folder and repeat the process.
I'm having some issues with the identification and download of the csv files.
I've seen some approaches using 'request' module but they were more related to downloading directly a file corresponding to a given URL, not looking for it and taking it from an online repository. For this reason I'm not even sure about how to start here.
What I'm looking for is something like:
url = 'https://1drv.ms/xxxxxxxxx'
file_name = 'title.csv'
# -> Download(link = url, file = file_name)
Thanks in advance to anyone who'll take some time to read this! :)
I'm tinkering around with cloud storage api's and need help getting the full file name from an upload form on Django. I currently can let the user choose a file, "file.txt" from any directory, and can get the name through
for file in request.FILES.getlist('file'):
print file.name `
However I want the full file path, something more like 'home/user/documents/file.txt'
Is this possible and how would I get the full name? I'm not looking to actually upload the file, just get the full path so that I can utilize dropbox/google drive api.
For reference here is my form:
class UploadFileForm(forms.Form):
folder_name = forms.CharField(max_length = 300)
title = forms.CharField(max_length=50)
file = forms.FileField(label='Select a file')
Thanks in advance.
Browsers do not tell what directory the files come from.
They do not even give that information to the scripts on the page.
When a user uploads a file, you may know:
Its basename.
Its size.
Its type (usually guessed from extension).
Its modification time.
This is all you will get, regardless of whether you access the information straight from the browser's <input> element, or wait for it to POST it.
You may also turn this answer the other way around: if you really need to be able to post the full path of the file, you need to develop a client-side application that will send it. It could be a standalone executable, a browser addon/app, or a Java applet, whatever as long as it runs outside of the webpage sandbox.
I do not use dropbox, but I believe you need to download and install some additional software to use it. That's how it would access the full path of your files.
