I am writing a open-source pypi python library that will do some calculation and then some api calls with the result of those calculation to an external service.
I want to make sure that the source code of the library was not modified when doing the api calls (I don't want anyone to modify the way I am doing the calculation).
Is there a way of doing that?
thanks

I'm trying to integrate backend code into a Wix site. Im not too picky about how I want to do this, or what language to write in (ideally, I have a locally-hosted Java code that I'd love to simply call). I wouldn't mind re-writing it in JavaScript though, or another language. But before I decide that I'm confused about my options. I can code but I'm new to the concepts like modules, APIs, & servers.
According to my research, back-end code with Wix is supposed to be easy (or at least do-able and not THAT complicated)....
From this webpage https://support.wix.com/en/article/corvid-calling-server-side-code-from-the-front-end-with-web-modules,
"Web modules are exclusive to Corvid and enable you to write functions that run server-side in the backend, and easily call them in your client-side code. With web modules you can import functions from backend into files or scripts in public, knowing they will run server-side. Corvid handles all the client-server communication required to enable this access."
And from this: https://www.sitepoint.com/what-is-wix-code/
"It’s serverless: All this added functionality comes in a serverless environment that lets you get your work done without any of the normal full-stack development headaches.
Just code and go: Wix Code has a built-in, online IDE and backend so you can just add the code you need to your page or your site, publish, and you’re live."
So, I thought they have a backend IDE where I can write backend code directly, or I could call my Java program. But, as I tried doing this and finding tutorials, it seems I can really only do this by calling a public API from the backend...?

But ive also read (and someone who supposedly has done it before told me this) that Wix integrates with node.js, which is a backend version of JavaScript.
Can I use a Wix domain for a NodeJS app?
But, when I go into my Wix site I cannot find any option for using Node JS, and doing research on that gives me no useful results.
So, I'm thoroughly confused on what the capabilities are here. Can someone help me make sense of this?
Why are there no tutorials showing explicit code in the Corvid backend module? What's stopping me from simply writing my Java program there in a module? Do I really need an API endpoint to call and pass to the front end?
Is Node JS supported or not - has anyone done this before?
Also, in one link above they said everything is "serverless". But if I have to set up my own API endpoint won't I need to set up my own server??
There are basically two ways to go about this, which you seem to have already discovered.
Write your backend code in your Wix site. Indeed, the backend is built on Node.js as you can see here. Using this approach you will have to use JavaScript. As you seem to have found, you write this code in the Backend section of your site in a Web Module. Pros: you don't need to worry about managing a server and all your code is in one place.
Expose your already existing Java code as an API that your Wix site can call using the wix-fetch API. Pros: you don't need to rewrite your code.
I'm wondering... in the "new" AWS CLI tool, which would be the equivalent to the "old" ec2-import-instance command? Can't find anything useful in the AWS Docs, help output or on the web.
Reason why I'm asking is that I'm curious to see their Python implementation of it, as I want to incorporate it into my own code. AWS CLI uses Python/boto (as opposed to the old API tools which used Java), which might be an explanation why the functionality is missing (couldn't find it in boto either).
If you happen to know how to achieve an instance import in pure Python, I'd be very curious about that too!
Any pointers are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
It will be supported in a later release. As of now, there is no support for it.

I want to consume the events/Signals exposed by the Application via .NET SignalR.
My requirement is to receive those signals using Python.
Kindly help me out.
A similar question was asked here:
Using SignalR server from Python code
There are no Python SignalR libraries available, so your only option would be to port a lightweight version of SignalR to python yourself. See https://github.com/davidfowl/SignalR.Lite
Obviously this is not a trivial undertaking!
I just wanted to offer another approach. Maybe the simpler solution would be to execute the SignalrR javascript library in python and just create a translational layer to get it back into python objects.
I do not have code proving this, but I was hoping this would encourage someone in the future to try it.
I'm investigating Google refine to speed up some of my data work -- never used it before this week, but I like a lot of what I see.
My biggest question so far is whether it's possible to call external python functions from Refine. I know you can call jython internally, but that doesn't provide access to C-based python libraries (e.g. lxml), and I have scripts elsewhere that I'd like to integrate, without lots of copy-paste or rewrite hassle.
What options are there for doing this in Refine? I'm willing to get creative -- I just want a stable, re-usable solution.
As Google Refine Wiki says:
lxml will NOT work in Jython, since lxml has C bindings for CPython (regular Python), hence will not work in Refine which is Jython / Java only, and has no CPython interpreter built-in
But you can try Google Refine Python Client Library to create projects and manipulate your data programmatically.
I'm going to mark reclosedev's answer as accepted, but there's still a litle more to the story.
The other answer to this question is that you can set up your own python-based API. For this project, I was able to set up a django app running on a local server. It only took an hour or so to build the API to my existing library.
More hassle than I'd have liked, but it fit the bill for this project without soaking up too much time.
I was hoping to implement an SVN communicator in my python program so that any file being worked on is automatically stored into the user's SVN account without any user interaction (username and password already provided so Python takes care of storage). Are there any libraries that can handle this kind of communication?
Thanks!
There are Python bindings for SVN. They follow the C API, so present a fairly low-level interface, not very "Pythonic". I'm not sure how easy they are to install these days. I've tried to use it in the past, and found that it requires some digging into the C API documentation to figure out how to make it work.
pysvn provides a more "Pythonic" API. I've used this, and found it very simple in comparison.
There is a pysvn project, which provides python interface to various svn tasks. You could use that invoke the svn commit operation for the user action which you want to act upon.
