raw-input

Below is a snippet of code I am trying to use to take a directory path as "raw input" from the user. I receive the following error after the input is taken from the user: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\larece.johnson\Desktop\Python Programs\Hello World 2", line 14, in <module> f = open(str,"r+") #I open the text file here which the user gave me IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:/Users/larece.johnson/Desktop/Python Programs/BostonLog.log.2014-04-01' Ignoring what I have done below, is there a particular way I am supposed to take the path from user so that

I'm using Python 2.7's raw_input to read from stdin. I want to let the user change a given default string. Code: i = raw_input("Please enter name:") Console: Please enter name: Jack The user should be presented with Jack but can change (backspace) it to something else. The Please enter name: argument would be the prompt for raw_input and that part shouldn't be changeable by the user. You could do: i = raw_input("Please enter name[Jack]:") or "Jack" This way, if user just presses return without entering anything, "i" will be assigned "Jack".

I'm trying to implement a small script to manage a localhost with an FTP connection in Python from the command line and using the appropriate "ftplib" module. I would like to create a sort of raw input for the user but with some commands already setup. I try to explain better: Once I have created the FTP connection and login connection been successfully completed through username and password, i would show a sort of "bash shell" with the possibility to use the most famous UNIX commands ( for example cd and ls respectively to move in a directory and show file/folders in the current path ). For

How can I bring python to only output directories via os.listdir , while specifying which directory to list via raw_input ? What I have: file_to_search = raw_input("which file to search?\n>") dirlist=[] for filename in os.listdir(file_to_search): if os.path.isdir(filename) == True: dirlist.append(filename) print dirlist Now this actually works if I input (via raw_input ) the current working directory. However, if I put in anything else, the list returns empty. I tried to divide and conquer this problem but individually every code piece works as intended. that's expected, since os.listdir only

wie have a 3m microtouch display. Its connected to my debian system via usb and recongnized as human interface (hid). I am trying to access and push realtime information... if its getting touched I want to know where (x,y) and pipe it throught netcat to another host. Unfortunately I am only able to get raw data using cat /dev/input/event2 | hexdump or evtest You get hexcode that seem nowhere documented... Does anybody have a clue how to get those information? There must be a way to extract it from the hexcode. Unfortunately I have no idea how to interpret the hexcode. I couldnt find any source

I'm trying to let the user input commands at a console using raw_input(), this works fine. The problem is I have background threads that occasionally output log-information to the screen and when they do they mess up the input prompt (since the output go wherever the cursor happens to be at the moment). This is a small Python program that illustrate what i mean. #!/usr/bin/env python import threading import time def message_loop(): while True: time.sleep(1) print "Hello World" thread = threading.Thread(target = message_loop) thread.start() while True: input = raw_input("Prompt> ") print "You
