I'm working on a project for a client and his code is running on his server. I've tried to download the code so that I can run a local version on my computer. The project is at least 5 years old and runs on Python 2.7.
The problem is I can't run python install -r requirements.txt without running into errors, because some of the files are no longer available. Specifically something called "sorl", "django-page-cms", "mercurial", and a few files the developer hosted on other sites.
If his website is working & the code is functioning on his server, that means there is a working version of these packages stored on the server? How could I find them?
You can try starting python while sshed into the server and doing an import like:
>>> import sorl
>>> sorl.__file__
'/home/jmunsch/PycharmProjects/projectname/venv_ok/lib/python3.6/sorl/__init__.py'
And if the os is the same then rsync the files over.

I'm creating a python app to get details from a website. I'm using selenium and pyodbc to create my app. It is getting all the details and saves them into a SQL server database. It is working fine on my pycharm IDE. Now I need to use this app on a hosted server like Linux or ubuntu server. How can I create a .exe file to run my app on a hosted server? And I used pyinstaller to create a .exe file using the following command.
pyinstaller --one main.py
I don't know what are the initial things that I should install on my server. Or is it not necessary to install any of the things to run my app?
See if this can help:
You can install python on your server and create a service in linux to run it. You don't have to create a .exe file. Also, .exe won't run on linux or ubuntu server.

i am new to the community and new in using servers and could use some help.
I am trying to setup an automatic JSON parser to another server using http post calls. The idea is as follows:
I manually put JSON files into a folder Input on the server
A python script that is always running on the server reads the files located within the folder
It reads the JSON files, posts all objects to another server, and moves the files to a "Processed" folder one file at a time.
I have been given a Windows Server, with Windows Server Manager 2016, and have managed to do the following:
installed python 3.8.2. on the windows server
able to run a python script using powershell
Installed NSSM to create a windows service
Now the windows server manager says i cannot resume or start the service that i tried to install via NSSM.
I am very new to servers, as well as python itself. Can somebody help me to get a python script running 24/7 on a windows server with windows server manager 2016?
Edit:
I managed to create a python script that can read files, upload them and move them to a processed folder, but i still have to run it by myself while i want it to always run on the server
Good Morning everyone, I am attempting to install CherryPy on a server without internet access. It has windows Server 2012. I can RDP to it, which is how i have attempted to install it. The server has Python 2.7 installed.
What I have tried (unsuccessfully):
RDP to the server, pip install cherrypy from command line (issue is that it is offline)
Downloaded the .grz files, RDP to server, from CL ran python (source to the setup.py file) install. says that there are dependencies that are unable to be downloaded (because offline).
Downloaded the whl file, attempted to run, did not work.
Is there a way to download the the package, along with all dependencies, on a remote computer (with internet access) and them copy the files over and install? I have attempted to find this information without success.
thank you all for your help.
Ended up copying my entire lib\site-packages folder to the remote server, placed where it would have been on my old server, and it worked fine.
TL:DR copy you %Python_home%/lib/site-packages folder to your remote machine and it might work. need to have the same version of python installed. In my case it was 2.7.
I'm trying to run a python script on a remote linux machine accessed by ssh(putty). I want to change/access directory to the windows directory and run a program which converts files on the server to csv and saves them to the server.
Is it possible to run the program without moving the files from remote to local, run conversion, move local to remote?
I am not the root user and can't install anything on the linux machine.
My Windows is 64bit and the linux machine is 64bit Ubuntu. Any suggestions?
I found a way to do what I wanted. Doing what I initially wanted requires me to transfer the files from the local machine to the remote machine then running the script and transferring it back. Ultimately it's a function of how fast my internet connection is. Since my local connection isn't that strong, I realized that my initial thoughts were flawed. Eventually, I just uploaded my data to the remote machine and run the script there. It was the fastest solution
Would you please let me know, how would I run my code in local machine to remote server?
I have source code and data in local machine. But I would like to run the code in remote server.
One solution would be:
Install python on the remote machine
Package your code into a python package using distutils (see http://wiki.python.org/moin/Distutils/Tutorial). Basically the process ends when you run the command python setup sdist in the root dir of your project, and get a tar.gz file in the dist/ subfolder.
Copy your package to the remote server using scp, for example, if it is an amazon machine:
scp -i myPemFile.pem local-python-package.tar.gz remote_user_name#remote_ip:remote_folder
Run sudo pip install local-python-package.tar.gz on the remote server
Now you can either SSH to the remote machine and run your code or use some remote enabler such as fabric to start commands on the remote server (works for any shell command, specifically python scripts)
Alternatively, you can just skip the package building in [2], if you have a simple script, just scp the script itself to the remote machine ane proceed using a remote python myscript.py
Hope this helps
I would recommend setting up git repository on repote server and connect local source (for git you can read about how to do it here: http://git-scm.com/book).
Then you can use i.e. Eclipse EGit and after you change your local code you can push it to remote location.
