I am trying to communicate with the QuickBooks Desktop Application using the Quick Books Web Connector (must be done in Python). I am not very familiar with SOAP- I was wondering whether anyone had a template/guide for communicating with the QBWC. I have read QuickBooks Web Connector Program Guide but there was no sample Python code.
The only requirement for which language to use with the Web Connector is to have a functioning SOAP server. From the Programmer's Guide:
What Platforms and Languages can I use in my Implementation?
The web service should be able to run on any platform that supports standard SOAP for communication. Platforms that are known to work include Apache Tomcat (Axis)and ASP (.Net).
As long as you can roll a WSDL-first SOAP server in Python, you can interface with the Web Connector. Unfortunately, it appears that might be a significant hurdle. Check out this question for suggestions on possible ways to accomplish that.
Once you get that working, the QuickBooks SDK provides bare-bones examples of a functioning web service. That should provide a sufficient template/guide for you to successfully interface with QuickBooks through the Web Connector.

I'm using a raspberry pi as a server to host a program. Part of what this program does is interface with websites such as spotify, google sheets, and google forms through their respective APIs (or a library wrapper)
In order to interface with spotify, i've attempted to use a python module called 'spotipy' which is a wrapper for the spotify API. However, i'm having trouble getting it to work, and I have a feeling its because the API requires authentication which utilizes the systems browser, i.e. chromium on the pi, but chromium does not have support for open.spotify.com due to its limited capabilities.
Is it reasonable to say that a web API wont work without access to the website you are attempting to interface with?
Hopefully this is provides enough information, thanks.
github.com/plamere/spotipy#quick-start
to answer your question, you don't need chromium to use APIs. According to the quickstart that I linked above
you need to register your raspberry pi as an App on spotify dev site and acquire the "credentials"
then declare those credentials in your script
I've seen Google's documentation and a lot of examples over the internet about how to use Firebase within Android / iOS applications, but I want to develop a client Firebase application which runs on a linux machine.
My requirements are:
Client runs on linux environment (either writtern in C++ or python).
Server is written in Javascript (NodeJS).
Server and client should have bi-directional communication between them using firebase realtime database.
I've seen also the firebase REST api, but I assume that is not good enough for me since I haven't seen a client listener api that listens on a something like onValueChanged.
Question:
How can I implement a linux-based app in C++ or python that listens to messages from server (data changes) using a listener, without having to call some get function each and every few seconds (just like NodeJS have the ref.on("child_changed",...) or ref.on("value",...)?
Help is much appreciated!
Unfortunately there is not official library for Realtime Database in Python but there are some third party wrappers around REST API.
Specifically I would look at Pyrebase library which also supports listening to live changes https://github.com/thisbejim/Pyrebase#streaming
For more information, libraries or other languages look at this page https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/rest/start
Google offers a C++ SDK you can download it here.
There is also a tutorial on the bottom of the page, but if you really want to dig into some code, here is the quickstart code on github from google with examples for each category on Firebase.
Google has also implemented a Game for demonstration purposes in C++ for Desktop OSs. here There you can find more advanced features and code samples.
I have only tried it with an XCode project on Mac OS X, and it works fine. I have no code for real time database but you should find the sample project in the github repo. https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-cpp
I hope this helps!
Greetings.
Haven't you try to use a Realtime Database triggers for C++ (that's is currently on beta) that allows you to simulate the same workflow as on JS?
From my point of view, it is the best way to get it to work as you want.

About to embark on a Java project using Spring Security to create a Restful Web Service (JSON) that will use Kerberos authentication to authenticate users in Active Directory.
I'm not locked into using Java and am considering the use of Python to gain new skills and look at potential alternative platforms.
So far I have looked at Twisted and Web2Py but they don't seem to have support for Kerberos nor could I find information around implementing Kerberos support.
Does anyone know of frameworks supporting the above deployment or pointers to get me started?
Python Eve is a restful api written in Python that uses mongo as its backend.
It provides a simple class that you can use to implement your own authentication which would allow you to use the python kerberos module
I use this setup but with ldap instead of kerb.
The underlying web framwork behind eve is Flask.
I am developing my web app with Python 2.7 + Bottle. Everything is great and python is an amazing language coming from ASP.NET. I am building a web application that needs to use real-time client/server communication and socket.io for node.js comes to mind.
I wanted to know how can I implement socket.io-like using Python + bottle. I've read this article on bottle, but I can't still seem to understand how it works - what I need to install, and how all works out (code examples?).
I really need that for my next web application but need help in understanding what I need to put in my project in order for it to work. I have no problem working with 'preview' codes which aren't stable release yet. I'm developing on Windows platform. Thanks.
I also want to know if its scalabe. whether I can use redis in the back so all calls will be sync when running my website on several servers, so when one client send data, all the other clients connected to the other servers will get it to.
maybe websocket can help you,many modern browser support this protocol,but bottle.py don't support it now,you can get some idea from tornado.websocket and some answer here
cause every connection can be saved,so i guess it can run on several servers,but i never implement.
since bottle is micro framework,you should do something by yourself.
I need to develop a web application with the following requirements:
Desktop like UI on the client side
Application deployment
Scalability (i.e. distributing the service on multiple servers)
What I thought of so far (as I love Python but haven't done much web development yet):
Django
Fabric (think I've read somewhere it's suited for this)
What I'm missing is:
How to create rich clients (probably need some javascript libraries for that)?
How to distribute the service?
For RIA you need to use some client technology in your templates.
See at Dojo or ExtJs.
ExtJs docs have example of Web Desktop app, but this library is not free for commercial project. I like more Dojo, and it is free.
Rich Internet Application: Javascript to do stuff asynchronously (AJAX). If you want a desktop-like interface on the web, it seems currently CoffeeScript is the way to go. It's a language that compiles into Javascript and adapted for rich interfaces.
Deployment: fabric (I think it's used to deploy Python apps).
Distribution: you deploy the code to one server.If you need to scale it up, you just need some additional servers (of course if you have specific usages like very high load on a database, you'll also need to add more database servers etc. But you get the idea).
using web browser as your client platform?
