Specify a download path usig wget module in python

I'm trying to download files from a site using the wget module.
The code is really simple:
image = 'linkoftheimage'
wget.download(image)
This works fine, but it saves the file in the folder with the python script. My goal is to download it in a different folder, but I can't find a way to specify it.
I tried a different approach with os module .
os.system(f'wget -O {directory} {image}')
This metod gives me an error: sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
So I tried another method:
with open(f'{directory}/photo %s.jpg' %a,'wb') as handler:
handler.write(image)
This also didn't worked out.
Does anyone have an idea on how could I solve this?

the package you specified has not been updated since 2015, it's repository is gone and so should probably be avoided. you can download files using the built-in requests module like so:
import requests
image_url = 'https://www.fillmurray.com/200/300'
file_destination = 'desired/destination/file.jpg'
res = requests.get(image_url)
if res.status_code == 200: # http 200 means success
with open(file_destination, 'wb') as file_handle: # wb means Write Binary
file_handle.write(res.content)

Renpy, an exception when trying to build a build on Android (renpy.loader.transfn)

Let's say there is a json file in ./resources called "string.json". Then the parsing of this file can be implemented as follows:
label start:
$ import json
$ f = open(renpy.loader.transfn("resources/string.json"))
$ text = json.load(f)
On a PC and on an Android emulator, this script will work fine, but when I build the build and run it on my phone, an exception is thrown:
exception an Android phone
How I can fix it?
Thanks a lot for answer and sorry my english is not good enough.

The renpy.file method can be used to resolve the exception:
label start:
$ import json
$ f = renpy.file("resources/string.json")
$ text = json.load(f)

Error using Google Assistant Library with Raspberry Pi 3 and Python (Credentials not accepted)

I successfully managed to get Google's Assistant working on my Raspberry Pi 3. It works by using
google-assistant-demo --d device_id1234
Now I want to get access with python to turn on/off an LED when a certain command is recognized. Unfortunately the page I followed isn't free, so I can't provide a link. The problematic part of my code is the following:
def main():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter)
parser.add_argument('--credentials', type=existing_file,
metavar='OAUTH2_CREDENTIALS_FILE',
default=os.path.join(
os.path.expanduser('~/.config'),
'google-oauthlib-tool',
'credentials.json'
),
help='Path to store and read OAuth2 credentials')
args = parser.parse_args()
with open(args.credentials, 'r') as f:
credentials = google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials(token=None,
**json.load(f))
with Assistant(credentials) as assistant:
print("Warte auf Hotword")
for event in assistant.start():
process_event(event, assistant)
and when I run the script by
python assistant.py --credentials client_secret_blabla.json
it throws the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "assistant.py", line 137, in <module>
main()
File "assistant.py", line 128, in main
**json.load(f)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'installed'
I tried to reinstall everything and also redownloaded the json file. Obviously the json doesn't get recognized properly, but I don't have any clue what to do. My JSON looks like this:
{"installed":{"client_id":"XXX.apps.googleusercontent.com","project_id":"dotted-nature-182957","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"XXX","redirect_uris":["urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob","http://localhost"]}}
here is what the Credentials class is expecting:
http://google-auth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/google.oauth2.credentials.html
I hope you guys can help me with this. Thanks a lot in advance!

I just figured it out. The problem was that I was using the wrong json file. I find the documentation kind of unclear concerning that. The JSON file you have to hand over to the python script is the one which is downloaded when executing
google-oauthlib-tool --client-secrets /home/pi/PREVIOUSLYDOWNLOADEDJSON.json --scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/assistant-sdk-prototype --save --headless
which is located at /home/pi/.config/google-oauthlib-tool/ in default.

Python - How do you run a .py file?

I've looked all around Google and its archives. There are several good articles, but none seem to help me out. So I thought I'd come here for a more specific answer.
The Objective: I want to run this code on a website to get all the picture files at once. It'll save a lot of pointing and clicking.
I've got Python 2.3.5 on a Windows 7 x64 machine. It's installed in C:\Python23.
How do I get this script to "go", so to speak?
=====================================
WOW. 35k views. Seeing as how this is top result on Google, here's a useful link I found over the years:
http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex1.html
For setup, see exercise 0.
=====================================
FYI: I've got zero experience with Python. Any advice would be appreciated.
As requested, here's the code I'm using:
"""
dumpimages.py
Downloads all the images on the supplied URL, and saves them to the
specified output file ("/test/" by default)
Usage:
python dumpimages.py http://example.com/ [output]
"""
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup as bs
import urlparse
from urllib2 import urlopen
from urllib import urlretrieve
import os
import sys
def main(url, out_folder="C:\asdf\"):
"""Downloads all the images at 'url' to /test/"""
soup = bs(urlopen(url))
parsed = list(urlparse.urlparse(url))
for image in soup.findAll("img"):
print "Image: %(src)s" % image
filename = image["src"].split("/")[-1]
parsed[2] = image["src"]
outpath = os.path.join(out_folder, filename)
if image["src"].lower().startswith("http"):
urlretrieve(image["src"], outpath)
else:
urlretrieve(urlparse.urlunparse(parsed), outpath)
def _usage():
print "usage: python dumpimages.py http://example.com [outpath]"
if __name__ == "__main__":
url = sys.argv[-1]
out_folder = "/test/"
if not url.lower().startswith("http"):
out_folder = sys.argv[-1]
url = sys.argv[-2]
if not url.lower().startswith("http"):
_usage()
sys.exit(-1)
main(url, out_folder)

On windows platform, you have 2 choices:
In a command line terminal, type
c:\python23\python xxxx.py
Open the python editor IDLE from the menu, and open xxxx.py, then press F5 to run it.
For your posted code, the error is at this line:
def main(url, out_folder="C:\asdf\"):
It should be:
def main(url, out_folder="C:\\asdf\\"):

Usually you can double click the .py file in Windows explorer to run it. If this doesn't work, you can create a batch file in the same directory with the following contents:
C:\python23\python YOURSCRIPTNAME.py
Then double click that batch file. Or, you can simply run that line in the command prompt while your working directory is the location of your script.

Since you seem to be on windows you can do this so python <filename.py>. Check that python's bin folder is in your PATH, or you can do c:\python23\bin\python <filename.py>. Python is an interpretive language and so you need the interpretor to run your file, much like you need java runtime to run a jar file.

use IDLE Editor {You may already have it} it has interactive shell for python and it will show you execution and result.

Your command should include the url parameter as stated in the script usage comments.
The main function has 2 parameters, url and out (which is set to a default value)
C:\python23\python "C:\PathToYourScript\SCRIPT.py" http://yoururl.com "C:\OptionalOutput\"

If you want to run .py files in Windows, Try installing Git bash
Then download python(Required Version) from python.org and install in the main c drive folder
For me, its :
"C:\Python38"
then open Git Bash and go to the respective folder where your .py file is stored :
For me, its :
File Location : "Downloads"
File Name : Train.py
So i changed my Current working Directory From "C:/User/(username)/" to "C:/User/(username)/Downloads"
then i will run the below command
" /c/Python38/python Train.py "
and it will run successfully.
But if it give the below error :
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn'
Then Do not panic :
and use this command :
" /c/Python38/Scripts/pip install sklearn "
and after it has installed sklearn go back and run the previous command :
" /c/Python38/python Train.py "
and it will run successfully.
!!!!HAPPY LEARNING !!!!

CherryPy3 and IIS 6.0

I have a small Python web application using the Cherrypy framework. I am by no means an expert in web servers.
I got Cherrypy working with Apache using mod_python on our Ubuntu server. This time, however, I have to use Windows 2003 and IIS 6.0 to host my site.
The site runs perfectly as a stand alone server - I am just so lost when it comes to getting IIS running. I have spent the past day Googling and blindly trying any and everything to get this running.
I have all the various tools installed that websites have told me to (Python 2.6, CherrpyPy 3, ISAPI-WSGI, PyWin32) and have read all the documentation I can. This blog was the most helpful:
http://whatschrisdoing.com/blog/2008/07/10/turbogears-isapi-wsgi-iis/
But I am still lost as to what I need to run my site. I can't find any thorough examples or how-to's to even start with. I hope someone here can help!
Cheers.

I run CherryPy behind my IIS sites. There are several tricks to get it to work.
When running as the IIS Worker Process identity, you won't have the same permissions as you do when you run the site from your user process. Things will break. In particular, anything that wants to write to the file system will probably not work without some tweaking.
If you're using setuptools, you probably want to install your components with the -Z option (unzips all eggs).
Use win32traceutil to track down problems. Be sure that in your hook script that you're importing win32traceutil. Then, when you're attempting to access the web site, if anything goes wrong, make sure it gets printed to standard out, it'll get logged to the trace utility. Use 'python -m win32traceutil' to see the output from the trace.
It's important to understand the basic process to get an ISAPI application running. I suggest first getting a hello-world WSGI application running under ISAPI_WSGI. Here's an early version of a hook script I used to validate that I was getting CherryPy to work with my web server.
#!python
"""
Things to remember:
easy_install munges permissions on zip eggs.
anything that's installed in a user folder (i.e. setup develop) will probably not work.
There may still exist an issue with static files.
"""
import sys
import os
import isapi_wsgi
# change this to '/myapp' to have the site installed to only a virtual
# directory of the site.
site_root = '/'
if hasattr(sys, "isapidllhandle"):
import win32traceutil
appdir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
egg_cache = os.path.join(appdir, 'egg-tmp')

app = cherrypy.tree.mount(Root(), site_root)
print "successfully set up the application"
return app
def __ExtensionFactory__():
"The entry point for when the ISAPIDLL is triggered"
try:
# import the wsgi app creator
app = setup_application()
return isapi_wsgi.ISAPISimpleHandler(app)
except:
import traceback
traceback.print_exc()
f = open(os.path.join(appdir, 'critical error.txt'), 'w')
traceback.print_exc(file=f)
f.close()
def install_virtual_dir():
import isapi.install
params = isapi.install.ISAPIParameters()
# Setup the virtual directories - this is a list of directories our
# extension uses - in this case only 1.
# Each extension has a "script map" - this is the mapping of ISAPI
# extensions.
sm = [
isapi.install.ScriptMapParams(Extension="*", Flags=0)
]
vd = isapi.install.VirtualDirParameters(
Server="CherryPy Web Server",
Name=site_root,
Description = "CherryPy Application",
ScriptMaps = sm,
ScriptMapUpdate = "end",
)
params.VirtualDirs = [vd]
isapi.install.HandleCommandLine(params)
if __name__=='__main__':
# If run from the command-line, install ourselves.
install_virtual_dir()
This script does several things. It (a) acts as the installer, installing itself into IIS [install_virtual_dir], (b) contains the entry point when IIS loads the DLL [__ExtensionFactory__], and (c) it creates the CherryPy WSGI instance consumed by the ISAPI handler [setup_application].
If you place this in your \inetpub\cherrypy directory and run it, it will attempt to install itself to the root of your IIS web site named "CherryPy Web Server".
You're also welcome to take a look at my production web site code, which has refactored all of this into different modules.

OK, I got it working. Thanks to Jason and all his help. I needed to call
cherrypy.config.update({
'tools.sessions.on': True
})
return cherrypy.tree.mount(Root(), '/', config=path_to_config)
I had this in the config file under [/] but for some reason it did not like that. Now I can get my web app up and running - then I think I will try and work out why it needs that config update and doesn't like the config file I have...
