I've added APL support to my skill but now I can't understand how to check if the device has a display and therefore supports APL. Seems pretty easy in Node.js but Python (3.7) has been driving me crazy. I have tried the approach mentioned here, but I'm using a class based lambda function and I'm not sure how to use that code. I've also tried this:
if context.System.device.supportedInterfaces.Display is None
I've checked and double checked the documentation and all the sample skills, but apparently they forgot to check for APL support in their sample skill as well.
I'm really at a loss here. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I've been dealing with this myself to develop my own skill and I think I've achieved this by checking if handler_input.request_envelope.context.system.device.supported_interfaces.display is None.
This way, system exists in this context. I hope this may help you!
You will want to look for the existence of "Alexa.Presentation.APL" instead of display inside the context.System.device.supportedInterfaces which is an array. Display is for the old display templates rather than APL.
Otherwise, the code in the linked post should work.

Ok, so I've looked around on how to do this and haven't really found an answer that showed me examples that I could work from.
What I'm trying to do is have a script that can do things like:
-Log into website
-Fill out forms or boxes etc.
Something simple that might help me in that I though of would be for example if I could write a script that would let me log into one if those text message websites like textnow or something like that, and then fill out a text message and send it to myself.
If anyone knows a good place that explains how to do something like this, or if anyone would be kind enough to give some guidance of their own then that would be greatly appreciated.
So after some good answers and further research, I have found that selenium is the thing that best suits my needs. It works not only with python, but supports other languages as well. If anyone else is looking for something that I had been when I asked the my question, a quick Google search for "selenium" should give them all the information they need about the tool that I found best for what I needed.
I have been wanting to create an application using the Microsoft Speech Recognition.
My application's users are expected to often say abbreviated things, such as 'LHC' for 'Large Hadron Collider' or 'CERN'. Given that exact order, my application will return
You said: At age C.
You said: Cern
While it did work for 'CERN', it failed very badly for 'LHC'.
However, if I could make my own custom training files, I could easily place the term 'LHC' somewhere in there. Then, I could make the user access the Speech Control Panel and run my training file.
All the links I have found for this have been frustratingly useless, as they just say things like 'This is ----, you should try going to the ---- forum instead'.
If it does help, here is a list of the links:

Is my problem even possible? Or are the training files themselves in a special format? If so, can that format be reproduced?
A solution that can also work on Windows XP would be ideal.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. If there are any libraries or modules out there already for this, could anyone point me to some? A Python or C/C++ solution would be splendid. Also, since I'd rather not post another question regarding this, is it possible to utilize the train utilities from command prompt (or without the GUI visible, but still having total command of all controls)?
Okay, pulling this from a thing I wrote three or four years ago now, but I believe you want to do something like this.
The grammar library is a trained system which can recognize words. You can create your own grammar library cued to specific words.
C#, sorry
using System.Speech
using System.Speech.Recognition
using System.Speech.AudioFormat
SpeechRecognitionEngine sre = new SpeechRecognitionEngine();
string[] words = {"L H C", "CERN"};
Choices choices = new Choices(words);
GrammarBuilder gb = new GrammarBuilder(choices);
Grammar grammar = new Grammar(gb);
sre.LoadGrammar(grammar);
That is as far as I can get you. From docs it looks like you can define the pronunciations somehow. So perhaps that way you could have LHC map directly to a single word. Here are the docs on the grammar class - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.speech.recognition.grammar.aspx
Small update - see example in their docs here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms554228.aspx
I am a new user of python and would like to try subnets-resolver. However, I can`t find the documentation of this package. Can someone point me to it?
It seems you are out of luck. Google does not bring anything up, and the code contains no docstrings (quite unpythonic). You will have to figure it out yourself. You could write a documentation in the process and and make it available for others though.
Hey guys, I have an idea that I'd like to start implementing that at the crux of it, will basically be a chat website, and will need to support multiple rooms. Quite frankly, I'm not too sure where to begin with regards to setting up a very sturdy/scalable chat system in python (or another language if you guys believe it to be a better alternative), so any suggestions that can get me pointed in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Look into XMPP. Here's the list of Python libraries.
Google AppEngine supports python provides scalable framework. Probably you'll save lots of time if you use it.
I'm writing a small html editor in python mostly for personal use and have integrated a gtksourceview2 object into my Python code. All the mayor functions seem to work more or less, but I'm having trouble getting a search function to work. Obvioiusly the GUI work is already done, but I can't figure out how to somehow buildin methods of the GTKsourceview.Buffer object (http://www.gnome.org/~gianmt/pygtksourceview2/class-gtksourcebuffer2.html) to actually search through the text in it.
Does anybody have a suggestion? I find the documentation not very verbose and can't really find a working example on the web.
Thanks in advance.
The reference for the C API can probably be helpful, including this chapter that I found "Searching in a GtkSourceBuffer".
As is the reference for the superclass gtk.TextBuffer
Here is the python doc, I couldn't find any up-to-date documentation so I stuffed it in my dropbox. Here is the link. What you want to look at is at is the gtk.iter_forward_search and gtk.iter_backward_search functions.
