I have developed an one page application using AngularJs and Django(Python). I want to integrate Sage One Application with my application for accounting purpose(country US).
I have gone through so many links and blogs in google and what I have found that all the libraries are written in PHP, Ruby and some other language. And I could not find any solution.
This is the link I followed : https://developer.columbus.sage.com/docs#/us/sageone/core/gs-welcome
Then I found another link https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sageone-api-client/0.0.2 for the integration with Python. And here, We need an API Key. I tried to get the API Key by following their instructions. But after asending some email and all still they are asking me to provide some company information and all. And i just lost the process. So Can any one tell whether I am following the right way ? Or I have to build some code as it was written in their PHP Example? Is there any way to get the API key for development purpose?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I am looking to create a very basic website that has a single feature. This feature works as follows:
1) The user inputs a URL to a website
2) My website will scrape the given website for necessary information
3) Apply whatever logic I need and return the processed information as a string
4) Allow user to download returned data in .txt format.
I am working on this project with one collaborator, and he has created the scraping and logic (steps 2 and 3) in Python. I have looked around stack overflow to see if it is possible to execute python scripts in a website, and the consensus seemed to be that I will require a server that executes python, and then make HTTP requests to my server.
Unfortunately, I'm quite a junior developer and lack a lot of understanding regarding web dev, and my attempts to "dive in" have left me with more questions than answers. We have a deadline that is approximately 3 days from now, and the only part that remains is to set up a server that can execute a specific python script upon HTTP requests.
I think that the source of my confusion is a lack of understanding regarding how exactly a server works, and was hoping that the kind folks here at stack overflow could help me in:
1) better understanding what's going on "under the hood" on the server side after an HTTP request arrives (or better yet, how does an HTTP request even arrive at all?)
2) Explain to me like I'm 5 what I'll need to do to deploy my website - namely all the in-between steps that receive little attention from the other posts here at stack overflow.
Some example questions that run through my head are below:
What type of server will I need?
How will I know if it can run Python?
How does the server know that I want to execute a certain script, while upon a user entering a my website's homepage URL, land at the home screen?
I've also read up on "middle layers" such as 'CGI' - what does this accomplish?
Is setting up a server reinventing the wheel?

Is there already a service out there that does what I'm looking for?
I've accomplished a similar project overnight with a Python web framework called Django, simply by following their official tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial01/
Django abstracts away all the web stuff for you and there's plenty of documentation on deploying it in various environments. With such deadlines I suggest you to just follow the tutorial above and eventually adapt the example to your use case testing it on Django's built-in web server, then follow a guide on deploying Django projects in your production environment.
Question:
Hi. I am a beginner trying to learn Python, and for one of my first projects I want to write a script that will fill out a survey automatically for me. I am familiar with coding, and I have most of the code written to solve this problem. What I am struggling is to write a method that will hit button #1 in question #1, or that will push any given button. One way I've realized I can do this, is perhaps by writing a script to press tab-> up-> down-> tab-> up -> down in the order needed to answer all of the questions.
Here is an image of what the survey looks like (CSS was disable for clarity).

What is one way to go about writing a method to push a radio button?
[Disclaimer]: I have checked out the following questions but they were of no use to me in my current situation:
fill out a webform that uses javascript with python (question was framed very strangely and was about Javascript forums, which I don't understand how it is relevant/ I didn't understand it, and nobody answered the question).
Script to take web survey for me (answers were only about Java, however something like this tool called HtmlUnit seems cool, if there were a comparable library in Python).
How to fill out form data on a website (question is about Java).
There are Python libraries and tools for automatizing browser actions. StackOverflow.com is not a place to ask for an recommendation for such a tool and thus moderators will close this question (SO is usually asking a help for particular problem, not for broad help and tutoriing requests). However here are some starting points for you
Splinter - automate browser actions in Python
Mechanize - Python library for stateful programmatic web browsing
Selenium automizing framework Python bindings - using full installed browser
Headless web browsing listing - includes Python ones
Scrapy - web content scraping framework in Python
For installing Python packages please refer to official package installation tutorial.
I want to be able to give out a form, with essentially 4 inputs. Each time it is submitted, I would it to trigger a python script.
I'm not totally sure where to start here. I could have the python code live on a server somewhere and have the google apps script trigger it, but ideally I could do this without having to host my code somewhere else. I also would like to avoid paying for anything...
Any and all advice would be appreciated. Please assume I have only a small amount of knowledge about this kind of stuff.
Check out this tutorial on the AppEngine documentation.
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstartedpython27/introduction
It will help you set up using Python and WebApp2 (for your forms!) and storing this data to datastore if you wish. You could just expand and modify the guestbook tutorial they make you do to have your application/script do exactly what you need it to. It's an excellent tutorial to get started even if you don't have much knowledge about python or appengine.
Does anyone have experience using Python in different variaty of applications?
A little background - I am a 3D artist in an animation studio. I do programming in PHP and use Zend framework for my personal project. Python has always been a language I wanted to learn because it can be used within many applications our studio is using (3D MAX, MAYA to name a few) My supervisor knew about my web background and wanted me to create a web base time line manager for the company. From the requirement I'm expecting quite a simple backend ... so it might be a good opportunity to finally learn Python. The bulk of the work will be on AJAX for the interactive front end.
So if I learn Python with web application and Django in mind, will that limit my Python skill from applying it to other applications?
a little curious about Django features as well. How well does the framework cover in terms of web application compare to Zend? Our application is pretty basic in the back end and I would love to know if Django will be able to cover them.
authenticate against Windows active directory
quick database update via AJAX interaction (drag and drop time line mostly)
Other basic stuff like discussion forum and directory browsing/file manager

No

Yes. You may need to customize an Authentication Backend.

Django has nothing to do with Ajax. Use piston to create pleasant RESTful API that Ajax can use.

There are many, many canned applications for Django that you can plug in and integrate.
I love python as a language - but it's not the answer to everything. I know this is throwing mud in a python group, but python has one serious limitation - the rigid source code format.
While going through a django tutorial - I noticed that you cannot insert python source code into a template, and that this was presented as a 'feature' for separating programmers and designers.
I later realized that it's a limitation of django - and any other environment where python source code might get accidentally mangled. This also includes HTML WYSIWIG editors and database based 'manglers' (like Drupal).
In my opinion it's a very serious limitation with no easy cure - especially with the need to use other tools to manage the complexity of HTML / CSS / JavaScript.
I found Django a really good way to learn python. There's very little that's quirky, magical or un-pythonic in the framework. A bit of setup and you're away, writing standard python code.
Im looking to write a new application in ruby/python which uses a feed from bloomberg and am stuck trying to find any documentation for using (or even setting up) Bloomberg Server API with either of these languages.
Does anyone have any good links to tutorials for this or maybe some boilerplate code to get set up? Or is it best to just stick to the three main supported languages?
The Bloomberg Open API (BLPAPI) v3.5 release now includes a native Python SDK.
http://www.openbloomberg.com/2012/11/21/open-api-blpapi-v3-5-x-released/
Did you check out some questions at SO on this. It might help you
Bloomberg API request timing out
Asynchronous data through Bloomberg's new data API (COM v3) with Python?
Resolver is an spreadsheet implementation in IronPython and has a very good integration for Bloomberg API
http://www.resolversystems.com/documentation/apidocs/MarketData_Bloomberg.html
Here is a simple Client access API which I wrote with the help of the mentioned links as well as some others. Not everything is implemented but it is a good start.
