Python Libvirt API for domtime actions - python

Does anybody know if python-libvirt has any API to perform 'domtime operations'.
I'm writing a python script that runs the command manually using os module.
...
os.system("virsh domtime %s --sync" % my_domain)
...
I want to use the libvirt API for that.
Do you know if it is possible?
I'm not finding any reference into the Documentation.

As stated in the documentation:
The Python binding should be complete and are mostly automatically
generated from the formal description of the API in xml.
According to the source of domtime, the command uses the calls virDomainSetTime and virDomainGetTime, which can be accessed through Python as libvirt.virDomain.setTime and libvirt.virDomain.getTime.

Airtable Python Wrapper documentation problem while using it online

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.
Also possibly duplicate of this: How can I get the source code of a Python function?

Dism API - How to get the functions of the commandline tool

I worked a lot with the documented DISM API and know all thier functions. I declared them one year ago in AutoIT and now in python but all the time i wondered why the commandline tool (type dism in cmd) has a lot of more functions provided.
Does someone know how to use these functions? For example, when i get an error, i can display it with DismGetLastErrorMessage, but the text comes in german. How can i get it in english? -> The commandline tool has a property called /English.
In the official Documentation is no option defined to change the language:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh824738.aspx
Here is a extended list of functions extracted of Dismapi.dll. http://windows10dll.nirsoft.net/dismapi_dll.html
There are some helper functions, which are not documented, but look like the commandline functions. Unhappily i don't know which parameter are required.

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.
