pythoncom.PumpMessages() gives warning "no reference PumpMessages() in pythoncom" - python

I am making a keylogger, but every source I see needs that function and it is not working properly.
I tried to update the library and it didn't fix the problem.
all the code is working except the part below.
I have no idea what the below means. pls, help me understand.
if you know a similar function pls help.
I am 14 years old so, I am not experienced will enough.
2 years in C Language. and 1-year web programming. and 1-year python pro.
obj = pyHook.HookManager()
obj.KeyDown = keypressed
obj.HookKeyboard()
pythoncom.PumpMessages()

This is not a Python error message. Unless I am mistaken, you are running PyCharm and you are getting a PyCharm popup when you mouse over the highlighted attribute PumpMessages.
This is nothing to worry about. It is happening because PyCharm's analysis doesn't always know how to examine Python extensions in DLLs. As PyCharm itself says,
This inspection detects names that should resolve but don't. Due to dynamic dispatch and duck typing, this is possible in a limited but useful number of cases.
One of the limitations of this inspection is functions in DLLs, which are dynamically dispatched.
If you look in the file pythoncom.py you will see that it doesn't in fact contain a definition of the function PumpMessages, only two lines that import pythoncom3x.dll. The function definition lives in that DLL and PyCharm can't find it there, because it would have to execute the code to establish where to look. The message is a false alarm.
If it bothers you, put the caret on the highlight, hit alt-Enter, click the lightbulb icon, and select one of the options to disable reporting of unresolved references, either for the function or for the entire pythoncom module. Otherwise just ignore it.
To turn it back on, hit ctrl-alt-S (Settings), choose Editor | Inspections | Python | Unresolved references.
So if your program isn't working as expected, look for the cause elsewhere. This warning is not the problem.

TIS/TSM non-main thread error; pygame script triggered by hotkey (rumps, pygame, keyboard)

I'm writing a python app, whose main purpose is to run a minigame (using the 'pygame' library), whenever I use a hotkey (which currently uses the 'keyboard' library). I want this hotkey to be recognized universally, so I'm packaging the whole thing as a status bar app (using the 'rumps' library).
So far, I can start the whole thing, select Play from the status bar dropdown, and it works! Great.
HOWEVER, if I attempt to use the bound hotkey, to run the same function that Play triggers, I get:
python[58226:599749] pid(58226)/euid(0) is calling TIS/TSM in non-main thread
environment, ERROR : This is NOT allowed. Please call TIS/TSM in main thread!!!
This shows up four times, and is followed up
python[58226:599749] WARNING: nextEventMatchingMask should only be
called from the Main Thread! This will throw an exception in the future.
To check that it wasn't the hotkey itself, I did a test: If I connect the hotkey to a simpler function, like setting an alert, it works fine. It still complains, and gives me the error:
python[60308:620099] -[NSAlert runModal] may only be invoked from the main thread. Behavior on other threads is undefined. (
0 AppKit 0x00007fff2b7f563f -[NSAlert runModal] + 178
1 _objc.cpython-36m-darwin.so 0x000000010c1358c7 ffi_call_unix64 + 79
2 ??? 0x000070000f3b2e50 0x0 + 123145557847632
)
but it does RUN. However if it connects to the Play function, it breaks (and produces the first error, above).
To summarize:
1) Dropdown => run minigame: Success!
2) Hotkey => run minigame: Incomprehensible errors!
I've googled this error, but have only seen explanations that are way over my head; is there a way that I could get around this error, by using different software, or a different approach -- but without having to leave python, or performing some deep and evil hack to an underlying system?
Could I get the hotkey/game to USE the Main Thread environment, somehow? How?
Could I use a vehicle other than a status bar app to listen for the hotkey? (Update: I tried pynput, and got the same non-main thread error.)
Could I do something inside of pygame to not make it as offensive? (At the moment, it's literally just animating a rolling sine wave.)
Could I get the rumps callback function to work? At the moment, it's just not doing ANYTHING, no matter where or how it's called.
(And unfortunately, this on a Mac, because pyhk3 is for windows only, and
wx.Window (which can have hotkeys) is also for windows only)
FURTHER failure: Can't get it to run with Keyboard Maestro either -- I've never used it before, so may well be using it wrong, but it also seems like a VERY simple command, that just flat-out has no response whatsoever.
Aaand ... the Automator script runs, but -- not with the hotkey! (EDIT: The hotkey was apparently taken. But a different one worked! See below.)
This problem is a MacOS 10.13 Sierra error. It is being reported with Processing.org 3d applications, as well as a Program called Synergy.
I'm accepting my own answer because it is the only one so far that solves the problem I was most interested in, i.e. getting the thing to run with a global shortcut, BUT, since I would ideally like to package and distribute this, I would still be very glad to see answers that solved the problem within python, and would gladly award the bounty to any answer that did that.
Finally, finally, made it work with a Service in Automator, and System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts. Along the way, I had to
Explicitly call the python binary I wanted to use, because the bash shell that Automator uses in executing a text script is apparently different from the one in Terminal
Realize that the System Preferences shortcut wasn't working because of the key-combination I first chose, NOT that it was being blocked, because there were no errors or messages when I called it.
Probably all sorts of other things. Good god.

Getting "unresolved reference: print" in pycharm community version 2016.1.4

I have already tried "invalidate cache and restart" (as found here).
And I have already tried turning on "collect run-time types for information for code insight" (as found here).
So I decided to simply remove the error by "ignore unresolved reference" on the print() statements that were complaining (I am not using print 'hello', I am using the function properly).
Now it seems that even actual errors will not get caught, I type in:
prant('hello')
and it doesn't even register the misspelling of "print".
I have my project interpreter set to a version in miniconda environment, which I don't think would change anything, but even changing back to the default version will not get rid of the errors.
In the attached image you can see that "prant('hello') is simply not even registering as an unresolved reference now.
Well, I "fixed" it, although I don't usually consider completely uninstalling the software, then having to delete settings from C:\Users\myname (which weren't caught by uninstall.exe), then making a new directory, creating new .py files and manually copy+pasting the contents of the old ones into it, a "fix".
But on the plus side, it actually does seem to find all my custom imports no problem, which it never did before, and now it actually catches unresolved references properly. It's just a shame I had to go full nuclear just to make it happen. My guess is I FUBAR'd the settings somehow and it kept persisting because those folders in C:\users\myname just wouldn't go away until I deleted them manually.
By the way, I tried both of the things in comments to the original post by downshift and neither of them worked.

Disable on-the-fly PEP8 checks, only check when saving file

I'm using PyCharm Community Edition 4.5.4, and I hate how it notifies me of every little "mistake" I make even when I have full intention of fixing it within 30 seconds.
My style is to kind of write everything at once (instead of finishing one thing before moving to the other), and thus every second word in my code gets highlighted as variable 'x' is not used or Unresolved reference 'x' because I already moved to an other section of my code, intenting to finish the for loop later. If I do something like:
for x in my_list:
pass
And then move to define my_list on top of the file, it will instantly highlight Local variable 'x' is not used. I wish to write my whole code freely, and then after hitting save, I wanna know what mistakes I made.
Is there any way to disable the PEP8 checker, so it would only check when I actually save the file, instead of when I type anything at all?
I have had problems with this issue too.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no documented way of doing what you're requesting. The PyCharm Articles on Code Inspection and Configuring Inspections really don't hint at any such possibility.
Additionally the config file in ~/.PyCharm40/config/inspection/Default.xml isn't what you would call rich in options (note: I have no idea if more options exist, couldn't really find appropriate documentation).
Since pep8.py is apparently ran continuously as a background process in PyCharm, I also checked whether a configuration of these processes was possible. Unfortunately (again), no useful results were found.
To make things worse, there seems to be no relevant plugin available in their plugin repository to allow for further tweaking of the inspection tool.
The other option I tried was by changing the settings in PyCharm and resort to manual calls to pep8. I unselected the inspections for pep8 from Settings | Editor | Inspections | Python tab and then ran the manual inspection by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + I and entering the two pep options. It does not seem to catch the same coding convention errors.
You probably have two options now, one is switching to another IDE as Adam Smith suggested (or noted, actually) and second is trying to maybe get some help on the PyCharm forum.

Code completion not giving recommendations

Say I'm working with the 'requests' Python library.
req = requests.get("http://google.com")
Now after this, if I type req., I'm supposed to get a list of all methods I can access. But for some reason I don't, even if I manually press Ctrl+Space.
If I try this in iPython, I get autocomplete recommendations. Even if I try it via the built in Python console in PyCharm, I get recommendations.
Why's this happening?
As Python is a dynamically typed language, you need to ensure it can work out what type things are, and inspect on the libraries on your system correctly. Try to make sure it's obvious what type the object is in your code.
One good way as of PyCharm 2.7 (back when versions were numbers) is to enable runtime type detection - PyCharm hooks into your program while it runs (while debugging), and checks the types of variables as they are used.
You can enable this by going to settings, going to the "Build, Execution, Deployment" section and then the "Python Debugger" subsection and enabling "Collect run-time types information for code insight".
Obviously it is worth noting that this isn't perfect - if you make changes, this won't be updated til the code is executed, and it can only tell you about values it has seen - other code paths you haven't tried could set other types.
You can also 'tell' PyCharm by using Epydoc or Sphinx style docstrings that contain information about parameter and return value types. PyCharm will use these to improve it's inspections.
Python also gained support for function annotations as of Python 3. These can be used for type hints as per PEP 484. See the typing module for more. This is more formal, so it can also be used for tools like mypy which a type checker that can programmatically check these types for consistency, giving Python a TypeScript-style optional static typing.
Python is a dynamically typed language, which means that the "get" function does not declare its return type. When you're entering code in IPython or in the PyCharm console, the code is actually being executed, and it's possible to inspect the object instance in the running interpreter and to get the list of its methods. When you're entering code in PyCharm or in any other Python IDE, it is not executed, and it's only possible to use static analysis to infer the return type of the method. This is not possible in all cases.
PyCharm has no idea what the dict contains if you fill it dynamically. So you have to hint PyCharm about the keys of dict beforehand. Prodict does exactly this to hint PyCharm, so you get code completion.
First, if you want to be able to access the response object, then you have to get a json response and convert it to dict. That's achieved with .json() method of requests like this:
response = requests.get("https://some.restservice.com/user/1").json()
OK, we loaded it to a dict object, now you can access keys with bracket syntax:
print(response['name'])
Since you ask for auto code completion, you certainly need to hint PyCharm about the keys of dict. If you already know the respone schema, you can use Prodict to hint PyCharm:
class Response(Prodict):
name: str
price: float
response_dict = requests.get("https://some.restservice.com/user/1").json()
response = Response.from_dict(response_dict)
print(response.name)
print(response.price)
In the above code, both name and price attributes are auto-complated.
If you don't know the schema of the response, then you can still use dot-notation to access dict attributes like this:
response_dict = requests.get("https://some.restservice.com/user/1").json()
response = Prodict.from_dict(response_dict)
print(response.name)
But code-completion will not be available since PyCharm can't know what the schema is.
What's more is, Prodict class is derived directly from dict, so you can use it as dict too.
This is the screenshot from Prodict repo that illustrates code completion:
Disclaimer: I am the author of Prodict.
if will just detect methods or variables and... with write some part of it:
File->Setting -> Editor -> General -> Code Completion
in top of opened window , unCheck [ Mach Case ]
It's an old question but probably all the provided answers missed the mark by a margin as wide as Sun's distance to Betelgeuse (none of the answers is accepted and #user1265125 is an active guy with 8 yrs here and more cred than me).
As it happens, I've just had exactly the same problem as OP and the solution was:
A NON-ASCII CHAR SOMEWHERE IN THE PROJECT'S FOLDER PATH
Seriously, PyCharm devs...[doubleFacepalm]
In my case the solution is to reset the settings, everething else wasn`t working for me.
"From the main menu, select File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings.Alternatively, press Shift twice and type Restore default settings."
I had a similar problem. Only functions I had already used were suggested and only as plain text and not recognised as methods.
What fixed that for me was deleting the /.idea folder in the project directory. (Afterwards you will have to set your run configurations again)
With the latest version update to 2022.2, even auto-complete stopped working for me. After quite a bit of reading articles, I just found the https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-50489 issue which was the root problem. The old plugins were pending update, after that, the code completion issue was fixed.
So, try and check if you are facing the same problem, if the plugins are up to date in Settings —> Plugins.

Where to find python-interpreter error codes?

I have a python application that communicates with a PHP application.
Right now, I have defined error codes on both sides so they match (i.e. we can detect the python-side failures in PHP and react accordingly).
My problem comes from python being an interpreted language, here is why :
If the code has a syntax problem, then the interpreter will return error codes.
But these interpreter error codes will be indistinguishable from the application errors.
I am not in charge of the python code, but I was asked to be able to detect eventual python interpreter failures so I can notify the end user using PHP.
Because of that, I need to find a list of the interpreter return codes when malfunctionning.
I failed to find this information on both google, python doc, and man page.
Does anybody have/know where to find this information ?
(also, if you have any other ideas on how to get around this problem, I'd be happy to hear them)
Thanks in advance !
The best solution would be setting an exception hook that always exits with a certain code.
import sys
def excepthook(type, value, traceback):
sys.exit(X) # X is your exit code
sys.excepthook = excepthook
Syntax errors should be irrelevant - why would you ever put a script that contains syntax errors in production?
But anyway, Python always exits with a non-zero code (apparently always 1) in case of an uncaught exception and 0 if everything went fine.
I believe this might be what you need. It will map the error codes to their respective string messages.
