most of my job is on a citrix ICA app.
i work in a winsows enviroment.
among other things, i have to print 300 reports from my app weekly. i am trying to automate this task. i was using a screenshot automation tool called sikuli, but it is not portable form station to station.
i thought i might be able to inject packets and send the commands on that level. i was not able to read the packets i captured with whireshark or do anythin sensable with them.
i have expirence with python and if i get pointed in the right direction, i am pretty sure i can pull something off.
does anyone have any ideas on how to do this (i am leaning towards packet injection aat the moment, but am open to ideas).
thanks for the help,
sam
after a lot of research, it cant be done. some manipulation like change window focus with the ICA COM object.

First I'd like to say that I know similar questions about calling Python code in Flutter have been asked before, but I think this particular case has some challenges.
Some notes about the app I'm aiming for:
Basically a note taking app, records a lecture or meeting or whatever and transcribes the text for you, with a few extra features thrown in. I'd like to have all speech being processed locally both to ensure it works offline and reduce the app's dependence on cloud services.
I'm trying to use Whisper, a new speech to text software that processes everything locally, which is a necessity for my app. I know I could make a Flutter plugin but I'm not sure if that's the best route to go about this for a few reasons:
I haven't done it before, so it would be quite a time investment to do this and just hope it works out.
One of the ways I've seen of doing this involves sending data over http between Python and Flutter, but Whisper would need a continuous stream of audio to work properly which I'm not sure this approach is suited for.
I'd really like to have 1 codebase that runs on any device.
I'd be fine with the app only working on pc for now, but I'd like to also have it working on Android and maybe IOS if reasonably possible. Any other routes I can take towards development are great too but I'd really like to stick with Flutter for this app if I can.
Just found that one: https://github.com/azkadev/whisper_dart
Did not tried it until now but seems to be worth the try.
Ok, so I'm a total noob with aspirations of learning to code. I've read about a guy who, for example, wrote a script which, if he was at work past a certain time, would automatically send a text to his wife stating he would be late. I want to do something sorta similar.
What I want in essence is a script that will log in to a website at a certain time of day, check if a box/text is green/yes or red/no, and send a text or notification to my phone informing me of the result each day.
The progress I've made so far is installing Python, installing PyCharm and done some research about tools I could use toward achieving my goal. Selenium seems like it would be capable of logging into the website, but I've no idea how to go about setting up a conditional statement to check the result, nor how I could set it up to send a text/notification to my phone. Also, if there is a more appropriate tool I should look into rather than Selenium and Python, I'm not attached to the idea of using these specific tools.
Finally, I realize that this may end up being too complicated for a first project, so I'd be up for hiring a freelancer to set this up. Equally, if this is something that could feasibly be written by someone with very little knowledge of coding such as myself, I'd really appreciate some direction from an expert!
Thanks for any input!
You are on the right track with selenium for web form automation. Sending notification however would require something else as was pointed out, and if you're on windows you can use windows task scheduler to automate, to performed only on certain time of day etc.
To make things more simplified, you can also look up general purpose automation programs that might support all these features together. For example, JRVSInputs uses selenium for web auto-fills https://jrvs.in/forums/viewtopic.php?t=182 and have features to send email or windows notifications. It can convert all its scripts into a neat batch file, you can then automate this batch file in the task scheduler.
We (my team and I) are developing a prototype sensor that uses a raspberry to preprocess sensor readings.
we have a working python script and made a simple GUI using GUIzero to test everything, but this needs a screen to be connected, and that is not possible once the setup is finished and deployed in a field for example.
We now have the raspberry acting as a wifi-hotspot, and after connecting to the local network, we can access the RBPi using VNC-viewer, and interact with the simple (guizero-)GUI. This is fine for continuing testing and developing. But once we will distribute the sensor to some test-users, the VNC-solution is not optimal, as it allows too much snooping around on the RBPi.
To solve this, we were thinking that a nice solution would be to somehow link our python script with a web page, hosted on the RBPi. A user could then walk upto the sensor, connect to the local wireless network, type in an IP in a browser and the page that loads would then allow starting/stopping the sensor, downloading measured data, managing archiving data, ...
Googling points in many directions (Django, flask, ...) and I'm too much of a beginner to choose the path to take (and understand (dis)advantages of all these frameworks/libs/...)
Can someone point me in the correct direction? (we know more python than we know html or PHP or..., so if the solution could be friendly in that sense, that's a plus)
If you are familiar with Python, I would advise you to set up a Django application on your RasPi (their beginner tutorial covers everything you need and the whole framework is documented really well). From there you could go two ways:
Either create a single view (basically a function that gets called when a certain URL is called) that renders some HTML with buttons you can connect to some Python code on your system
Or you could create one view per function (e.g. /api/start_sensor, /api/download_data) and connect these API-calls to a webview.
The latter variant would also allow controlling the sensor programmatically via network.
I'm excited. I'm a long-time lurker here at SO, but I've never posted. Here goes!
I'm trying to develop a device that would connect to a host RPi through (preferably) USB, and would have multiple 3.5mm jack outputs. The goal, ultimately, is to get the device to use a standalone program that, when a button is pressed (keyboard, or other external input), a specific sound (or set of sounds) would go through a single 3.5mm output. Now, I understand that there's going to (most likely) have to be an external box, and I also realize that I'm in above my head, but I'm trying to create this as more of a hobby and as a learning experience.
Basically, the way it would go is that the user would set which inputs triggered which outputs beforehand on the custom software in the RPi. The input would then trigger that ouput then await a new signal. I figure I'm going to need to also build a physical box to house the amount of 3.5mm jacks I want (i figured 3-5.)
So, where do I need to start? I don't need a guide on how to do this, more of a step in the right direction. From what I can discern, there's not anything out there that does this. If there is, please show me and I'll get that instead. I've done a lot of googling on this, and I'm thinking that I'll use Raspbian on the Rpi, and code the software using Python. I know I'll also need to build a driver so that the external box and the RPi can communicate. Lastly, I assume that I'll need some type of circuitry for the external box. That's where it gets hairy to me. I've never dealt in physical I/O except for a bit of modding. Where would I start my search there?
Any help at all is appreciated, and thanks for reading this huge post. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to know if there are any API's for python to programmatically control a phone, like starting and ending calls, but also to record conversations.
I would also like to use the Headphones and Mic of the computer to talk over the phone.
Any info would be great, I tried googling for something, but nothing useful came up.
Be careful when using PyBluez! The results will actually depend on the BT-USB dongle you are using. Depending on the hardware(the BT chip in there), PyBluez will use one or another BT stack - for example there was one from WIDCOMM. Results will vary, as PyBluez is actually wrapping around those stacks - all of which are far from complete.
So, when you have a working project, be sure to know what actual BT stack you were using :)
For Python audio stuff, you could try this.
PyBluez is an effort to create python wrappers around system Bluetooth resources to allow Python developers to easily and quickly create Bluetooth applications.
Unfortunately I've not found a page dedicated to its features, but it could be a good starting point, whether everything you need is in its feature set, or if you could build your application upon it by extending it.
