Changing output of speedtest.py and speedtest-cli to include IP address in output .csv file

I added a line in the python code “speedtest.py” that I found at pimylifeup.com. I hoped it would allow me to track the internet provider and IP address along with all the other speed information his code provides. But when I execute it, the code only grabs the next word after the find all call. I would also like it to return the IP address that appears after the provider. I have attached the code below. Can you help me modify it to return what I am looking for.
Here is an example what is returned by speedtest-cli
$ speedtest-cli
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
Testing from Biglobe (111.111.111.111)...
Retrieving speedtest.net server list...
Selecting best server based on ping...
Hosted by GLBB Japan (Naha) [51.24 km]: 118.566 ms
Testing download speed................................................................................
Download: 4.00 Mbit/s
Testing upload speed......................................................................................................
Upload: 13.19 Mbit/s
$
And this is an example of what it is being returned by speediest.py to my .csv file
Date,Time,Ping,Download (Mbit/s),Upload(Mbit/s),myip
05/30/20,12:47,76.391,12.28,19.43,Biglobe
This is what I want it to return.
Date,Time,Ping,Download (Mbit/s),Upload (Mbit/s),myip
05/30/20,12:31,75.158,14.29,19.54,Biglobe 111.111.111.111
Or may be,
05/30/20,12:31,75.158,14.29,19.54,Biglobe,111.111.111.111
Here is the code that I am using. And thank you for any help you can provide.
import os
import re
import subprocess
import time
response = subprocess.Popen(‘/usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli’, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read().decode(‘utf-8’)
ping = re.findall(‘km]:\s(.*?)\s’, response, re.MULTILINE)
download = re.findall(‘Download:\s(.*?)\s’, response, re.MULTILINE)
upload = re.findall(‘Upload:\s(.*?)\s’, response, re.MULTILINE)
myip = re.findall(‘from\s(.*?)\s’, response, re.MULTILINE)
ping = ping[0].replace(‘,’, ‘.’)
download = download[0].replace(‘,’, ‘.’)
upload = upload[0].replace(‘,’, ‘.’)
myip = myip[0]
try:
f = open(‘/home/pi/speedtest/speedtestz.csv’, ‘a+’)
if os.stat(‘/home/pi/speedtest/speedtestz.csv’).st_size == 0:
f.write(‘Date,Time,Ping,Download (Mbit/s),Upload (Mbit/s),myip\r\n’)
except:
pass
f.write(‘{},{},{},{},{},{}\r\n’.format(time.strftime(‘%m/%d/%y’), time.strftime(‘%H:%M’), ping, download, upload, myip))

Let me know if this works for you, it should do everything you're looking for
#!/usr/local/env python
import os
import csv

import subprocess
from decimal import *
file_path = '/home/pi/speedtest/speedtestz.csv'

return (Decimal(bits_string) / 1000000).quantize(Decimal('.01'), rounding=ROUND_UP)
def write_csv(row):
""" writes a header row if one does not exist and test result row """
# straight from csv man page
# see: https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html
with open(file_path, 'a+', newline='') as csvfile:
writer = csv.writer(csvfile, delimiter=',', quotechar='"')
if os.stat(file_path).st_size == 0:
writer.writerow(['Date','Time','Ping','Download (Mbit/s)','Upload (Mbit/s)','myip'])
writer.writerow(row)
response = subprocess.run(['/usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli', '--csv'], capture_output=True, encoding='utf-8')
# if speedtest-cli exited with no errors / ran successfully
if response.returncode == 0:
# from the csv man page
# "And while the module doesn’t directly support parsing strings, it can easily be done"
# this will remove quotes and spaces vs doing a string split on ','
# csv.reader returns an iterator, so we turn that into a list
cols = list(csv.reader([response.stdout]))[0]
# turns 13.45 ping to 13
ping = Decimal(cols[5]).quantize(Decimal('1.'))
# speedtest-cli --csv returns speed in bits/s, convert to bytes
download = format_speed(cols[6])
upload = format_speed(cols[7])
ip = cols[9]
date = time.strftime('%m/%d/%y')
time = time.strftime('%H:%M')
write_csv([date,time,ping,download,upload,ip])
else:
print('speedtest-cli returned error: %s' % response.stderr)

$/usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli --csv-header > speedtestz.csv
$/usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli --csv >> speedtestz.csv
output:
Server ID,Sponsor,Server Name,Timestamp,Distance,Ping,Download,Upload,Share,IP Address
Does that not get you what you're looking for? Run the first command once to create the csv with header row. Then subsequent runs are done with the append '>>` operator, and that'll add a test result row each time you run it
Doing all of those regexs will bite you if they or a library that they depend on decides to change their debugging output format
Plenty of ways to do it though. Hope this helps

Using win32com to download attachments through outlook with python

I've written a short code to download and rename files from a specific folder in my outlook account. The code works great, the only problem is that I typically need to run the code several times to actually download all of the messages. It seems the code is just failing to acknowledge some of the messages, there are no errors when I run through it.
I've tried a few things like walking through each line step by step in the python window, running the code with outlook closed or opened, and trying to print the files after they're successfully saved to see if there are specific messages that are causing the problem.
Here's my code
#! python3
# downloadAttachments.py - Downloads all of the weight tickets from Bucky
# Currently saves to desktop due to instability of I: drive connection
import win32com.client, os, re
#This line opens the outlook application
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
#Not exactly sure why the inbox is default folder 6 but it works
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
#box where the messages are to save
TicketSave = inbox.Folders('WDE').Folders('SAVE').Folders('TicketSave')
#box where the messages are moved to
done = inbox.Folders('WDE').Folders('CHES').Folders('Weight Tickets')
ticketMessages = TicketSave.Items
#Key is used to verify the subject line is correct. This script only works if the person sends
# their emails with a consistent subject line (can be altered for other cases)
key = re.compile(r'wde load \d{3}') #requires regulars expressions (i.e. 'import re')
for message in ticketMessages:
#will skip any message that does not match the correct subject line format (non-case sensitive)
check = str(message.Subject).lower()
if key.search(check) == None:
continue
attachments = message.Attachments
tic = attachments.item(1)
ticnum = str(message.Subject).split()[2]
name = str(tic).split()[0] + ' ticket ' + ticnum + '.pdf' #changes the filename
tic.SaveAsFile('C:\\Users\\bhalvorson\\Desktop\\Attachments' + os.sep + str(name))
if message.UnRead == True:
message.UnRead = False
message.Move(done)
print('Ticket pdf: ' + name + ' save successfully')

Alright I found the answer to my own question. I'll post it here in case any other youngster runs into the same problem as me.
The main problem is the "message.Move(done)" second from the bottom.
Apparently the move function alters the current folder thus altering the number of loops that the for loop will go through. So, the way it's written above, the code only ever processes half of the items in the folder.
An easy work around is to switch the main line of the for loop to "for message in list(ticketMessages):" the list is not affected by the Move function and therefore you'll be able to loop through every message.
Hope this helps someone.

pyzmail: use a loop variable to get a single raw message

First, I should say, I don't really know much about computer programming, but I find Python fairly easy to use for automating simple tasks, thanks to Al Sweigart's book, "Automate the boring stuff."
I want to collect email text bodies. I'm trying to move homework to email to save paper. I thought I could do that by getting the numbers of the unseen mails and just looping through that. If I try that, the IDLE3 shell just becomes unresponsive, ctrl c does nothing, I have to restart the shell.
Question: Why can't I just use a loop variable in server.fetch()??
for msgNum in unseenMessages:
rawMessage = server.fetch([msgNum], ['BODY[]', 'FLAGS'])
It seems you need an actual number like 57, not msgNum, in there, or it won't work.
After looking at various questions and answers here on SO, the following works for me. I suppose it collects all the email bodies in one swoop.
import pyzmail
import pprint
from imapclient import IMAPClient
server = IMAPClient('imap.qq.com', use_uid=True, ssl=True)
server.login('myEmail#foxmail.com', 'myIMAPpassword')
select_info = server.select_folder('Inbox')
unseenMessages = server.search(['UNSEEN'])
rawMessage = server.fetch(unseenMessages, ['BODY[]', 'FLAGS'])
for msgNum in unseenMessages:
message = pyzmail.PyzMessage.factory(rawMessage[msgNum][b'BODY[]'])
text = message.text_part.get_payload().decode(message.text_part.charset)
print('Text' + str(msgNum) + ' = ')
print(text)

I've found this gist with nice and clean code and a page with many helping examples
The main difference between API of imaplib and pyzmail is pyzmail is all-in-one package with parsing and all client-server communication. But these packages are splitted into different packages in standard library. Basically, they both provided almost the same functionality and with the same methods.
As an additional important note here, pyzmail looks quite abandoned.
To save a useful code from that gist, I copy it here as it is with very small modifications like extracting main function (note, it's for Python 3):

How do I run python '__main__' program file from bash prompt in Windows10?

I am trying to run a python3 program file and am getting some unexpected behaviors.
I'll start off first with my PATH and env setup configuration. When I run:
which Python
I get:
/c/Program Files/Python36/python
From there, I cd into the directory where my python program is located to prepare to run the program.
Roughly speaking this is how my python program is set up:
import modulesNeeded
print('1st debug statement to show program execution')
# variables declared as needed
def aFunctionNeeded():
print('2nd debug statement to show fxn exe, never prints')
... function logic...
if __name__ == '__main__':
aFunctionNeeded() # Never gets called
Here is a link to the repository with the code I am working with in case you would like more details as to the implementation. Keep in mind that API keys are not published, but API keys are in local file correctly:
https://github.com/lopezdp/API.Mashups
My question revolves around why my 1st debug statements inside the files are printing to the terminal, but not the 2nd debug statements inside the functions?
This is happening in both of the findRestaurant.py file and the geocode.py file.
I know I have written my if __name__ == '__main__': program entry point correctly as this is the same exact way I have done it for other programs, but in this case I may be missing something that I am not noticing.
If this is my output when I run my program in my bash terminal:
$ python findRestaurant.py
inside geo
inside find
then, why does it appear that my aFunctionNeeded() method shown in my pseudo code is not being called from the main?
Why do both programs seem to fail immediately after the first debug statements are printed to the terminal?

The reason you're not seeing the output of the later parts of your code is that you've rebound the standard output and error streams with these lines:
sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter('utf8')(sys.stdout)
sys.stderr = codecs.getwriter('utf8')(sys.stderr)
I'm not exactly sure why those lines are breaking things for you, perhaps your console does not expect utf8 encoded output... But because they don't work as intended, you're not seeing anything from the rest of your code, including error messages, since you rebound the stderr stream along with the stdout stream.

gammu receive sms message python fails

I have found a script on this website http://wammu.eu/docs/manual/smsd/run.html
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import sys
numparts = int(os.environ['DECODED_PARTS'])
# Are there any decoded parts?
if numparts == 0:
print('No decoded parts!')
sys.exit(1)
# Get all text parts
text = ''
for i in range(1, numparts + 1):
varname = 'DECODED_%d_TEXT' % i
if varname in os.environ:
text = text + os.environ[varname]
# Do something with the text
f = open('/home/pi/output.txt','w')
f.write('Number %s have sent text: %s' % (os.environ['SMS_1_NUMBER'], text))
And i know that my gammu-smsd is working fine, because i can turn of my ledlamp on raspberry by sending sms to the raspberry, but my question is why is this script failing? nonthing is happening. and when I try to run the script by it self it also fails.
What I would like to do is just receive the sms and then read the content and save the content and phonenumber which sent the sms to a file.
I hope you understand my issue.
Thank you in advance, all the best.

In the gammu-smsd config file, you can use the file backend which does this for you automatically.
See this example from the gammu documentation
http://wammu.eu/docs/manual/smsd/config.html#files-service
[smsd]
Service = files
PIN = 1234
LogFile = syslog
InboxPath = /var/spool/sms/inbox/
OutboPpath = /var/spool/sms/outbox/
SentSMSPath = /var/spool/sms/sent/
ErrorSMSPath = /var/spool/sms/error/
Also see options for the file backend to tailor to your needs.
http://wammu.eu/docs/manual/smsd/config.html#files-backend-options
Hope this helps :)
