Get CPU and GPU Temp using Python Windows

I was wondering if there was a way to get the CPU and the GPU temperature in python. I have already found a way for Linux (using psutil.sensors_temperature()), and I wanted to find a way for Windows.
A way to find the temperatures for Mac OS would also be appreciated, but I mainly want a way for windows.
I prefer to only use python modules, but DLL and C/C++ extensions are also completely acceptable!
When I try doing the below, I get None:
import wmi
w = wmi.WMI()
prin(w.Win32_TemperatureProbe()[0].CurrentReading)
When I try doing the below, I get an error:
import wmi
w = wmi.WMI(namespace="root\wmi")
temperature_info = w.MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature()[0]
print(temperature_info.CurrentTemperature)
Error:
wmi.x_wmi: <x_wmi: Unexpected COM Error (-2147217396, 'OLE error 0x8004100c', None, None)>
I have heard of OpenHardwareMoniter, but this requires me to install something that is not a python module. I would also prefer to not have to run the script as admin to get the results.
I am also fine with running windows cmd commands with python, but I have not found one that returns the CPU temp.
Update: I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58924992/13710015.
I can't figure out how to use it though.
When I tried doing: print(OUTPUT_temp._fields_), I got
[('Board Temp', <class 'ctypes.c_ulong'>), ('CPU Temp', <class 'ctypes.c_ulong'>), ('Board Temp2', <class 'ctypes.c_ulong'>), ('temp4', <class 'ctypes.c_ulong'>), ('temp5', <class 'ctypes.c_ulong'>)]
Note: I really do not want to run this as admin. If I absolutely have to, I can, but I prefer not to.

I think there doesn't have a directly way to achieve that. Some CPU producers wouldn't provide wmi to let your know the temperature directly.
You could use OpenHardwareMoniter.dll. Use the dynamic library.
Firstly, Download the OpenHardwareMoniter. It contains a file called OpenHardwareMonitorLib.dll (version 0.9.6, December 2020).
Install the module pythonnet:
pip install pythonnet
Below code works fine on my PC (Get the CPU temperature):
import clr # the pythonnet module.
clr.AddReference(r'YourdllPath')
# e.g. clr.AddReference(r'OpenHardwareMonitor/OpenHardwareMonitorLib'), without .dll
from OpenHardwareMonitor.Hardware import Computer
c = Computer()
c.CPUEnabled = True # get the Info about CPU
c.GPUEnabled = True # get the Info about GPU
c.Open()
while True:
for a in range(0, len(c.Hardware[0].Sensors)):
# print(c.Hardware[0].Sensors[a].Identifier)
if "/temperature" in str(c.Hardware[0].Sensors[a].Identifier):
print(c.Hardware[0].Sensors[a].get_Value())
c.Hardware[0].Update()
To Get the GPU temperature, change the c.Hardware[0] to c.Hardware[1].
Compare the result with :
Attention: If you want to get the CPU temperature, you need to run it as Administrator. If not, you will only get the value of Load. For GPU temperature, it can work without Admin permissions (as on Windows 10 21H1).
I did some changes from a Chinese Blog

I found a pretty good module for getting the temperature of NVIDIA GPUs.
pip install gputil
Code to print out temperature
import GPUtil
gpu = GPUtil.getGPUs()[0]
print(gpu.temperature)
I found it here

so you can use gpiozero to get the temp
first pip install gpiozero and from gpiozero import CPUTemperature to import it and cpu = CPUTemperature() print(cpu.temperature)
code:
from gpiozero import CPUTemperature
cpu = CPUTemperature()
print(cpu.temperature)
hope you enjoy. :)

Metatrader5 - Python Integration - symbol_total() returns None

I'm trying to get the number of symbols of metatrader5 and I'm getting an error
TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'
Link to the documentation: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/integration/python_metatrader5/mt5symbolstotal_py
code:
import MetaTrader5 as mt5
print("MetaTrader5 package author: ",mt5.__author__)
print("MetaTrader5 package version: ",mt5.__version__)
if not mt5.initialize():
print("initialize() failed, error code =",mt5.last_error())
quit()
symbols=mt5.symbols_total()
if symbols>0:
print("Total symbols =",symbols)
else:
print("symbols not found")
mt5.shutdown()
The problem is that the function is returning NoneType instead of a number.
Why it's returning a NoneType? How can i get the list of Symbols/Stocks?
Any clue?

I had the same problem too. If you are currently using a downloaded MT5 terminal from your broker, you can try using the official MT5 terminal instead. That seemed to have fixed my issue. Don't forget to specify the path to the correct MT5 terminal.exe afterwards within the initialization function initialize(path=...).
As to why this was causing an issue, I'm unsure myself. I happened across this post and it mentioned that there may have been modifications made by brokers.
Anyway, hope this works for you too!
To connect to your broker's server afterwards, within the MT5 terminal under Navigator->Accounts (Right Click)->Open an account->Search for your broker and enter your credentials.

Running pyomo examples in Spyder

I know that some examples from the Pyomo book can be run from Anaconda company prompt, eg. by the command “runef -m ReferenceModel.py” for the farmer example.
I would like to run the examples within the Spyder IDE. Spyder doesn’t recognise any of the code. For example, I get the following error message ‘from pyomo.core import *’ used; unable to detect undefined names
How can I run the examples within Spyder? I am not sure if adding a line
pyomo solve my_model.ph my_data.dat —-solver=‘glpk’ at the end of the script would work

Assuming you've set up your abstract model, you can instantiate it with data using:
data = DataPortal()
data.load(filename="my_data.dat", model=my_model)
Then you can solve in Spyder and present results with the following:
from pyomo.opt import SolverFactory
opt = pyomo.environ.SolverFactory('glpk')
instance = model.create_instance(data)
opt.solve(instance)
instance.display()

Using TriangulatePoints with SFM with Python

I'm trying to use the built in opencv function TriangulatePoints for multiple views: https://docs.opencv.org/3.4.4/d0/dbd/group__triangulation.html#ga211c855276b3084f3bbd8b2d9161dc74.
Using python on linux, does anyone have experience using this function? The website only has the syntax for cpp and in python I don't know how to code it.
My code now:
import cv2
import numpy as np
point_2D = np.array([[17.4485, 709.7993], [17.4382, 709.8409]])
Proj_Matrices = np.array([ [1037.5, -6.9927, -10.0190, -4780.7], [6.9747, 1043.3, -5.8867, -731.9206], [644.7895, 383.4982, -3231.1], [1036.937, -22.8371, -28.3254, -5607.7], [23.0587, 1043.1, 3.1815, -633.4485], [650.4355, 373.6, -15.3504, -3706.5] ])
OutputArray = np.zeros((3,2))
Points_3D = cv2.sfm.triangulatePoints(point_2D, Proj_Matrices, OutputArray)
However, when I run it from the terminal I get the following error:
AttributeError: module 'cv2' has no attribute 'sfm.
I installed sfm on my computer using the instructions on the opencv site.
When I omit sfm I get the following error:
AttributeError: module 'cv2' has no attribute 'sfm'
I think I get that error since the machine thinks I'm trying to use the previous version of TriangulatePoints.
Examples of opencv code using sfm exist on the opencv website but they are in cpp.
I'm wondering what the syntax for using TriangulatePoints(with sfm) is in python? Even in cpp, I don't understand how the output array is an input to the function? Also, if anyone knows how to fix the sfm error I am receiving that would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Where is model directory in pocketsphinx

I'm trying to make a simple speech recognition program in Python using Sphinx. I installed it using pip in CMD, then I installed PocketSphinx in the same way. The tutorial I'm following says I need to include the model directories for PocketSphinx, but I don't know where the directory is. How do I find it, and am I doing something wrong?

If you are using pocketsphinx-python installed via pip, and following some example code similar to that provided by the package's github page, you may find there are a few code changes needed.
Here's what's currently in the README (as of March 11, 2018):
from pocketsphinx.pocketsphinx import *
from sphinxbase.sphinxbase import *
MODELDIR = "pocketsphinx/model"
DATADIR = "pocketsphinx/test/data"
# Create a decoder with certain model
config = Decoder.default_config()
config.set_string('-hmm', path.join(MODELDIR, 'en-us/en-us'))
config.set_string('-lm', path.join(MODELDIR, 'en-us/en-us.lm.bin'))
config.set_string('-dict', path.join(MODELDIR, 'en-us/cmudict-en-us.dict'))
This not-yet-accepted pull request describes some changes which may help for those of us using pip and working on our python code outside the downloaded module's directory (at least in a *nix/Mac environment, I haven't tested on Windows). Here's a diff snippet; the key idea is to use path.dirname(pocketsphinx.__file__) to get the base directory in which to look for the model directory:
-MODELDIR = "pocketsphinx/model"
-DATADIR = "pocketsphinx/test/data"
+import pocketsphinx;
+POCKETSPHINXDIR = path.dirname(pocketsphinx.__file__)
+MODELDIR = path.join(POCKETSPHINXDIR, "model")
+DATADIR = path.join(POCKETSPHINXDIR, "data")
(Small note: I took liberty to fix a small typo in the spelling of POCKETSPHINXDIR, so this code isn't exactly the same as the pull request)

Go the location where your python is installed look for the following location inside that (this location is according to windows installation)
Lib\site-packages\speech_recognition\pocketsphinx-data
default model is en-US however there are few other language models that one can download from here
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cmusphinx/files/Acoustic%20and%20Language%20Models/

It may be late to answer now, but for newcomers, Python module has some convenience methods:
from pocketsphinx import get_model_path, get_data_path
print(get_model_path())
print(get_data_path())
