I'm using the gdata-python-client library (http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/) to insert contacts into a Google account. When I set the gender like this:
google_contact.gender = gdata.contacts.data.Gender(text="Male")
it's actually being set on the contact in the field "Directory server".
Any ideas why this might be happening?
In case it affects anything, my code is running on a Google App Engine development server.
Verily, I say unto you, this is indeed a bug in the gData client. Here is the line containing the bug, and here is the bug report I filed concerning the issue, and here's a patch I've submitted that solves the issue
The specifics of patching one's local copy of the library while the upstream fix is pending is left as an exercise for the reader.
This might be a bug in gdata library. At least that's how I see it. Not a google-contact expert here
consider this:
>>> print gdata.contacts.data.City(text="Foo")
<ns0:city xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.google.com/contact/2008">Foo</ns0:city>
while Gender returns this:
>>> print gdata.contacts.data.Gender(text="Male")
<ns0:directoryServer xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.google.com/contact/2008">Male</ns0:directoryServer>
Of course you can alter the tag property of Gender object manually:
>>> g = gdata.contacts.data.Gender(text="Male")
>>> g.tag='gender'
>>> print g
<ns0:gender xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.google.com/contact/2008">Male</ns0:gender>
Hope this helps

I'm trying to use pyspeedtest to get the upload/download speed of my connecting but I keep getting the following error which I couldn't resolve:
import pyspeedtest
st = pyspeedtest.SpeedTest()
st.download()
Exception: Cannot find a test server
Any suggestions/insights would be welcome!
It actually does work if you change the url in the pyspeedtest.py file from www.speedtest.net to c.speedtest.net on line 186 in v1.2.7 of the script.
Edit: added an example of how to get it to work
You can edit the pyspeedtest.py script (located at /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyspeedtest.py on my raspberry pi 3) by using vi, e.g.:
sudo vi /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyspeedtest.py
Go to line 186 and change the following line:
connection = self.connect('www.speedtest.net')
to:
connection = self.connect('c.speedtest.net')
Then run pyspeedtest using the wrapper in /usr/local/bin:
/usr/local/bin/pyspeedtest
Using server: speedtest.wilkes.net
Ping: 41 ms
Download speed: 46.06 Mbps
Upload speed: 11.58 Mbps
Or use the python interpreter:
>>> import pyspeedtest
>>> st = pyspeedtest.SpeedTest()
>>> st.ping()
41.70024394989014
>>> st.download()
44821310.72337018
>>> st.upload()
14433296.732646577
The project hasn't been updated since mid-2016. And the last update was updated user-agent to prevent SpeedTest block... And if you skim the code, there are [comments like this]:(https://github.com/fopina/pyspeedtest/blob/master/pyspeedtest.py#L188)
# really contribute to speedtest.net OS statistics
# maybe they won't block us again...
And there have been bugs posted to GitHub about the project not working, with no response.
So, my guess is: This project probably violates SpeedTest.net's terms of service, so they blocked it. The author tried to get around the block, they blocked it again, and the author gave up. In the intervening two years, any other servers it used as backups either blocked it, or shut down (e.g., speedtest.serv.pt, mentioned in the docs, no longer exists).
There is a pull request from another user that might fix it, although it appears to be failing the CI test. If you want to try it yourself, you can.
But otherwise, you can't use this library, and there's no way anyone can help you use it; it just doesn't work. You'll have to find another way to do the same thing.
I'm writing some python3 code using the ldap3 library and I'm trying to prevent LDAP-injection. The OWASP injection-prevention cheat sheet recommends using a safe/parameterized API(among other things). However, I can't find a safe API or safe method for composing search queries in the ldap3 docs. Most of the search queries in the docs use hard-coded strings, like this:
conn.search('dc=demo1,dc=freeipa,dc=org', '(objectclass=person)')
and I'm trying to avoid the need to compose queries in a manner similar to this:
conn.search(search, '(accAttrib=' + accName + ')')
Additionally, there seems to be no mention of 'injection' or 'escaping' or similar concepts in the docs. Does anyone know if this is missing in this library altogether or if there is a similar library for Python that provides a safe/parameterized API? Or has anyone encountered and solved this problem before?
A final point: I've seen the other StackOverflow questions that point out how to use whitelist validation or escaping as a way to prevent LDAP-injection and I plan to implement them. But I'd prefer to use all three methods if possible.
I was a little surprised that the documentation doesn't seem to mention this. However there is a utility function escape_filter_chars which I believe is what you are looking for:
from ldap3.utils import conv
attribute = conv.escape_filter_chars("bar)", encoding=None)
query = "(foo={0})".format(attribute)
conn.search(search, query)
I believe the best way to prevent LDAP injection in python3 is to use the Abstraction Layer.
Example code:
# First create a connection to ldap to use.
# I use a function that creates my connection (abstracted here)
conn = self.connect_to_ldap()
o = ObjectDef('groupOfUniqueNames', conn)
query = 'Common Name: %s' % cn
r = Reader(conn, o, 'dc=example,,dc=org', query)
r.search()
Notice how the query is abstracted? The query would error if someone tried to inject a search here. Also, this search is protected by a Reader instead of a Writer. The ldap3 documentation goes through all of this.
I love using Boto API for Amazon Web Services but now I'm not capable of finding where is the error.
I'm using AWS for check domain availability and I have created a script in Python that includes the class at this link:
https://www.codatlas.com/github.com/boto/boto/develop/boto/route53/domains/layer1.py?line=67
I call the method check_domain_availability() on passing domain name:
Route53DomainsConnection.check_domain_availability('example.com',None)
but the method returns this error:
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'make_request'
I can try to pass parameters in many modes but no result.
Where am I wrong? Thanks in advance.
P.S: I use Debian wheezy and Python3.2
More on status of subdomains
I have found a method to get the status of a record just create with route53.
this is the code:
changes = ResourceRecordSets(conn, "ZONEID")
change = changes.add_change("STRING FOR ADD NEW SUBDOMAIN")
change.add_value(MY_IP)
status = changes.commit()
If print the status variable is contained the response of commit and the status:
{u'ChangeResourceRecordSetsResponse':{u'ChangeInfo': {u'Status: u'PENDING etc.....
Now i would like to be able to swhitch to another operation only if the status of subdomamin is "SYNC" but i doesn't able to access dinamically to string for check status.
I can use a while ? Can i use sleep command ? Can anyone help me over to resolve my problem ? Thanks
You don't show your code which makes it harder to debug but this line:
Route53DomainsConnection.check_domain_availability('example.com',None)
looks suspicious. It looks like you are trying to access the check_domain_availability method from the class rather than an instance of the class. I just did the following and it worked for me:
In [1]: import boto.route53.domains
In [2]: c = boto.route53.domains.connect_to_region('us-east-1')
In [3]: c.check_domain_availability('foobar.com')
Out[3]: {u'Availability': u'UNAVAILABLE'}
I am consuming a SOAP webservice with suds (0.4). The WSDL I am using throws an error
>>> import uuid
>>> from suds.client import Client
>>> wsdl = 'https://toolkit.dnb.com/locked/resource/docs/TransactionAndMessageDefinition/ProductList.wsdl'
>>> client = Client(wsdl)
The service I am consuming expects one parameter productListRequest, which is a complex type where you put UserId, Password and a complex type of ProductListInput.
I fill these with:
>>> productListRequest = client.factory.create('productListRequest')
>>> productListRequest.UserId = 'myusername'
>>> productListRequest.Password = 'mypassword'
>>> productListRequest.TRNUID = uuid.uuid4()
>>> ProductListInput = client.factory.create('ProductListInput')
>>> ProductListInput.DnB_DUNS_Number = ''
>>> ProductListInput.Product = 'Product Name'
>>> ProductListInput.CountryCode = 'IT'
>>> ProductListInput.TradeUp = ''
>>> ProductListInput.Reason = ''
>>> productListRequest.ProductListInput = ProductListInput
But whenever I am calling the service:
>>> print client.service.ws_ProductList(productListRequest)
I get Type not found: 'ArrayOfUPD_FLDSItem'
I am really stuck here. I have googled this error for 2 days and honestly I do not know what to do! Maybe someone with a deeper understanding of WSDL and suds can help.
So my questions:
Is this WSDL, which I am consuming proper defined? (If it is proper defined, I will report it to the suds
maintainers)
If this WSDL is not proper defined, is there a workaround (e.g.
suds schema doctor) to fix it on suds site?
Is there a alternative Python library, which I should use?
Suds is currently the best choice for WSDL consumption in Python. Unfortunately WSDL itself is such a complex mess that making good out of it is difficult.
Luckily Suds come with extensive logging capabilities which you can use to debug the problem and this is the first step of solving it. This earlier question answers how to enable it:
How can I output what SUDs is generating/receiving?
However, giving a complete answer for the type error would require seeing extensive logging output and/or source code, so I suggest you somehow try to narrow down the problem. To make the problem ultimately solvable a sample (non-working) schema and Python code would be nice.
(The error might hint that there is some subschema / external schema defined / missing which Suds cannot load for reason X)
At first:
It does not make sense to call the product list without a DUNS-Number. The transaction gives all avaliable products to a given DUNS. If the DUNS number is left empty, you will only get a field list of the product you stated (assuming you put a valid product name into your call, not "product name").
BUT:
Even by putting all parameters in, I ran into the same problem and was not able to solve it, either.
Check with DnB and make them correct the WSDL - their WSDLs are quite buggy: Note that they have simply forgotten a whole transaction in the WSDL implementation (prodOrderRequest_3 for retrieving data from the toolkit archive)
My solution is to use the XML-Version of the Toolkit for this and the other mentioned transaction. Unfortunately.
Using the GData Calendar API via App Engine in Python, when you create an event there are handy little helper methods to parse the response:
new_event = calendar_service.InsertEvent(event, '/calendar/feeds/default/private/full')
helper = new_event.GetEditLink().href
When you create a new calendar:
new_calendar = gd_client.InsertCalendar(new_calendar=calendar)
I was wondering if there might be related methods that I just can't find in the documentation (or that are--perhaps--undocumented)?
I need to store the new calendar's ID in the datastore, so I would like something along the lines of:
new_calendar = gd_client.InsertCalendar(new_calendar=calendar)
new_calendar.getGroupLink().href
In my code, the calendar is being created, and G is returning the Atom response with a 201, but before I get into using elementtree or atom.parse to extract the desired element, I was hoping someone here might be able to help.
Many thanks in advance :)
I've never used the GData API, so I could be wrong, but...
It looks like GetLink() will return the link object for any specified rel. Seems like GetEditLink() just calls GetLink(), passing in the rel of the Edit link. So you should be able to call GetLink() on the response from InsertCalendar(), and pass in the rel of the Group link.
Here's the pydoc info that I used to figure this out: http://gdata-python-client.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pydocs/gdata.calendar_resource.data.html
