I have been trying to extract and scrape information about bugs filed for the joda-time software. However, I am finding no good way to export this information to a file using an automated script or something. I do find some python scripts online but they are mostly about converting sourceforge tickets to git or outdated.
Any help in that matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shivani
You can write a scraping script using BeautifulSoup. You can extract the necessary information from the HTML of each bug ticket page for the joda-time software by writing some Python code with BeautifulSoup. It's not difficult and you can then do with the extracted information what you want.
I'm sorry, I can't understand your question.
If your question is how to extract a file as a HTML and save as a HTML
You can use urllib : http://docs.python.org/library/urllib.html
If you are a project administrator, you have an export to xml option.
You also may find Migrate sourceforge tickets to GitHub issues useful.

I am trying to understand a Python code available on GitHub. The project is kind of large, when I understand the code available in one file and try to understand the code in another file, I forget some of the previous concepts (that I have understood in the previous files).
Is there any way I could add comments or a little description of each line while understanding the code in GitHub project? I know I can download the code and add comments using some IDE or Notepad etc. But it would be difficult for me while training, as I have to clone the project for training.
I suggest you fork the code, and add comments to the code itself, on your copy of the repository. You can edit the files inside GitHub, no need to download the code.
I'm sorry but you cannot do that. You cannot just edit someone's code like that, you could first fork the project and then add your comments. That would be a good way to work on the code with your personal comments. Or you could just download the code to add comments.
Is there a way to compile python code in flutter apps itself ?
Note :- I did a bit of research and ended up with solutions which
wanted a dedicated server for python code to be hosted and later on I
could pass a query and get response which is not exactly I am aiming
for. Please help 🙂
Awesome So I came up with a solution for which we need to use a package named Starflut.
Just read the documentation on the first page of the package and you will understand how to implement it!
Link :- Starflut
Happy Coding ! 😉
I am writing a script to log into web pages (I know it's a bad idea, and I don't care), but I need to run it with a bookmark from Firefox. Does anyone know how to help me?
There is no pre-made solution and as it stands, you left part of your question ambiguous.
But here is one possible outline on how you could accomplish what you want from completely inside firefox.
First off you need to get python in the browser, but it is normally compiled into machine code. The solution is the Transcrypt project, which is Python is transcompiled into javascript and that script is then loaded into your browser. This allows you to run python code.
Extensions to python are made so it can access the DOM in a similiar way you can from javascript.
The transcrypt website has some examples, and some more can be found at a draft page at Mozilla.
Your bookmarklet would be to load a script to load transcrypt and feed it your python code, something like
javascript:(function(){var el=document.createElement('script');el.src='file:///something/something/transcript_loader_and_my_python_code.js';document.body.appendChild(el);})();
But the exact bookmarklet would depend on how you go about things. Writing transcript_loader_and_my_python_code.js is on your own, but if you get the examples from the links above working it should be trivial.
I have written some documentation for a Python module with Sphinx. It builds and displays the HTML perfectly on my computer. However, I have been maintaining a Read the Docs version and that is not displaying properly. When I checked it when the docs were more sparse, it worked but it has since stopped.
The API page (linked) should have more methods detailed than it does. When I look at the raw .rst files on GitHub, they contain the information but it doesn't display on RTD.
I changed the folder structure for the project when I put it on PyPI, so I'm wondering whether it's that but I can't see how to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It turns out that I had used Requests without putting it in the requirements file. I just added it and now it builds fine.
I want to automatically save a file from a website. I don't know how to bypass the Download File prompt in python and save it directly to my c: drive.
Any help is appreciated,

Modules like urllib2 and urlgrabber don't have a "Download File" prompt.
One idea is to use a module like mechanize to automate the query and the download.
Here you can find some documentation.
Usually when you post a question here at stackoverflow, it is a good idea to post an example at how you have tried to solve the problem, and then we will help you to improve it, rather than asking people to write the solution for you,
when you use mechanize, configure the UserAgent properly and respect the policy of the webmasters about scraping.
