Airtable Python Wrapper documentation problem while using it online - python

I have a problem using Airtable module for python
While I'm using my IDE in my local computer the documentation works fine but when I use the same code on any site like repl.it or host it on pythonanywhere it gives me errors
some attributes I found it's replacement such as insert will be create, get_all will be get...etc, but I couldn't find a replacement for the argument 'sort' which is used in get_all attribute, and that makes my code unable to work as I want it to work

Make sure you're using the same version of Airtable in all of the places where you're trying to run it.

How do you create an instance using google-api-client?

When I run a python program it's as simple as writing into terminal python myprogram.py. Now, I'm trying to run that program on a google vm instance and shut it off with as few steps as possible. I'm trying to get it all written down in a python program, but I was told that my method of using the subprocess module is not the right way to do it. I was told that the best way to do it is to use the googleapiclient module. So the current I use to create an instance is:
def create_instance(name='', machine_type=''):
name = 'kfoley76'
machine_type = 'n1-standard-1'
subprocess.run(['gcloud', 'compute', 'instances', 'create',
name, f'--machine-type={machine_type}',
'--zone=us-west2-a', '--boot-disk-auto-delete'])
How would I rewrite that using googleapiclient module. I assume the answer would be located here
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances/start
but that documentation is utterly incomprehensible.
Please see the tutorial I mentioned in my answer to your other question. I'm confident it will get you exactly what you need.

How can I see the source code for the Python library "keyboard"?

Let's say that I wanted to create my own library to be used in Python. How would I code a key press? How do I establish that without referencing the Python library of "keyboard"? I would love to be able to view the "keyboard" library that I import, in order to see how that library was created.
Thanks!
You can check out the inspect module.

Selecting a local file with Selenium Automated testing

I am using Selenium in Python to create an automated test. In this test, I am trying to select a file from a local directory. I was able to find a reference using Java but I am struggling to convert this to Python. https://sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/12851/how-can-i-work-with-file-uploads-during-a-webdriver-test
element=driver.find_element_by_id("file_browse").click()
driver.file_detector("<>")
upload=driver.find_element_by_id("<>")
keys=upload.send_keys("<>")
For the file detector function I keep getting that the object is not callable. What should the input be for it?
Thanks!
Just remove this line:
driver.file_detector("<>")
Python's remote webdriver uses LocalFileDetector() by default. That seems to be what you want, looking at the linked Java example.
If you need to override the default, you can use or subclass one of the available file detectors from selenium.webdriver.remote.file_detector
There doesn't seem to be any documentation of how to use FileDetector, but the source code is quite short and straightforward.
from selenium.webdriver.remote.file_detector import UselessFileDetector
driver.file_detector = UselessFileDetector()
Python's ideom for setting object members is simply to use the assignment operator (=) instead of calling a set method, as you would in Java.

Gnumeric Python plugin : service file_opener and file_saver

Is it possible to write a gnumeric python plugin for the file_opener and file_saver service?
It seems implemented in the python-loader plugin, there are corresponding sections in the Gnome documentation.
But the example plugin gnome-glossary, which is python file_saver plugin, raises an error ImportError: No module named gsf and I can't write in the output object given by the API:
def so_file_save(wb, output):
output.props.write("toto")
produces the error :
Exception Python (<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> : 'gobject.GProps' object has no attribute 'write')
And this gobject.GProps object claim to be of __gtype__ : GsfOutputStdio
The python bindings for 'libgsf' are unsupported since a long time ago. As you can read in the old README-python:
I wrote these bindings in 2002, and they haven't been updated since.
They were never part of a standard build, but it was possible to build
them by following the instructions below. It will probably take some
work to make them work with current versions of autotools and
pygobject. Bindings would have to be revalidated, and extended to
match the current API of libgsf.
I do not plan to do further work on these bindings. If anybody wants
to pick them up, please feel free.

That explaines why gnome-glossary fails. Also, it seems to be a problem with the parameter output, which is shown as a GObject, but not as GsfOutputStdio (you only can see the properties, but you do not have access to any method.
This is not the solution you are looking for, but an attempt of explanation of what you are seeing.

MongoDB: how to get db.stats() from API

I'm trying to get results of db.stats() mongo shell command in my python code (for monitoring purposes).
But unlike for example serverStatus I can't do db.command('stats'). I was not able to find any API equivalent in mongodb docs. I've also tried variations with db.$cmd but none of that worked.
So,
Small question: how can I get results of db.stats() (number of connections/objects, size of data & indexes, etc) in my python code?
Bigger question: can anyone explain why some of shell commands are easily accessible from API, while others are not? It's very annoying: some admin-related tools are accessible via db.$cmd.sys, some via db.command, some via ...? Is there some standard or explanation of this situation?
PS: mongodb 2.0.2, pymongo 2.1.0, python 2.7
The Javascript shell's stats command helper actually invokes a command named dbstats, which you can run from PyMongo using the Database.command method. The easiest way to find out what command a shell helper will run is to invoke the shell helper without parentheses -- this will print out the Javascript code it runs:
> db.stats
function (scale) {
return this.runCommand({dbstats:1, scale:scale});
}
As for why some commands have helpers and others do not, it's largely a question of preference, time, and perceived frequency of use by the driver authors. You can run any command by name with Database.command, which is just a convenience wrapper around db.$cmd.find_one. You can find a full list of commands at List of Database Commands. You can also submit a patch against PyMongo to add a helper method for commands you find that you need to invoke frequently but aren't supported by PyMongo yet.
