I'm trying to create a list of alll usb mass storage devices with their VendorIf, the ProductId and the SerialNumber.
Therefore I use the pyUsb module and run the following program.
import sys
import usb
import usb.core
import usb.util
devs = usb.core.find(find_all=True)
nCount=0
for dev in devs:
try:
for cfg in dev:
intf = usb.util.find_descriptor(cfg,bInterfaceClass=0x8)
if intf is not None:
nCount += 1
try:
sys.stdout.write("USB device " + usb.util.get_string(dev,dev.iProduct,None) + '\n')
except:
sys.stdout.write("USB device " + str(nCount) + '\n')
sys.stdout.write("------" + '\n')
sys.stdout.write("VendorId = " + hex(dev.idVendor) + '\n')
sys.stdout.write("ProductId = " + hex(dev.idProduct) + '\n')
if not dev.iSerialNumber == 0:
sys.stdout.write("SerialNbr = " + usb.util.get_string(dev,dev.iSerialNumber,None) + '\n')
else:
sys.stdout.write("SerialNbr = none" + '\n')
sys.stdout.write('\n')
except usb.core.USBError:
pass
In generally the script works. Depending on the device I get outputs like this:
USB device USB DISK
-------
VendorId = 0x90c
ProductId = 0x2000
SerialNbr = none
But with various devices I get the following error:
File
"C:\Users\UerXy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\usb\backend\libusb1.py",
line 600, in _check
raise NotImplementedError(_strerror(ret)) NotImplementedError: Operation not supported or unimplemented on this platform
When debugging the code, the error occures when it tries to read the string descriptor using the function usb.util.get_string()
I read somewhere, that the function is dependant on the driver.
Is this true? Isn't it possible to read the serial number of any given usb-device without taking care of the used usb-driver?
How can this error be solved and the descriptors be read from every device?
You can use the following code to get the information of all connected drives (flash memory and hdd).
import os
os.system('echo list volume > Ravi.txt')
path1 = os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"Ravi.txt")
os.system('diskpart /s '+path1+' > logfile.txt')
path2 = os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"logfile.txt")
Str = open(path2).read()
Str = Str.split('\n')
matching = [s for s in Str if "Removable" in s]
for i in matching:
i = ' '.join(i.split())
i = i.split(" ")
print(i)
import subprocess
serials = subprocess.check_output('wmic diskdrive get SerialNumber').decode().split('\n')[1:]
serials = [s.strip() for s in serials if s.strip()]
After running this code, two txt files will be created in the current location, in which the desired information is written
I would like to read Windows' event log. I am not sure if it's the best way but I would like to use the pywin32 -> win32evtlog module to do so. First and foremost is it possible to read logs from Windows 7 using this library and if so how to read events associated with applications runs (running an .exe must leave a trace in the event log in windows i guess).
I have managed to find some little example on the net but it's not enough for me and the documentation isn't well written unfortunately ;/
import win32evtlog
hand = win32evtlog.OpenEventLog(None,"Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational")
print win32evtlog.GetNumberOfEventLogRecords(hand)
you can find plenty of demos related to the winapi in your C:\PythonXX\Lib\site-packages\win32\Demos folder. In this folder you'll find a script named eventLogDemo.py. There you can see how to use win32evtlog module. Just start this script with eventLogDemo.py -v and you will get prints from your Windows event log with logtype Application.
In case you can't find this script:
import win32evtlog
import win32api

import win32security # To translate NT Sids to account names.
import win32evtlogutil
def ReadLog(computer, logType="Application", dumpEachRecord = 0):
# read the entire log back.
h=win32evtlog.OpenEventLog(computer, logType)
numRecords = win32evtlog.GetNumberOfEventLogRecords(h)
# print "There are %d records" % numRecords
num=0
while 1:
objects = win32evtlog.ReadEventLog(h, win32evtlog.EVENTLOG_BACKWARDS_READ|win32evtlog.EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ, 0)
if not objects:
break
for object in objects:
# get it for testing purposes, but dont print it.
msg = win32evtlogutil.SafeFormatMessage(object, logType)
if object.Sid is not None:
try:
domain, user, typ = win32security.LookupAccountSid(computer, object.Sid)
sidDesc = "%s/%s" % (domain, user)
except win32security.error:
sidDesc = str(object.Sid)
user_desc = "Event associated with user %s" % (sidDesc,)

except UnicodeError:
print "(unicode error printing message: repr() follows...)"
print repr(msg)
num = num + len(objects)
if numRecords == num:
print "Successfully read all", numRecords, "records"
else:

I'm trying to print out the network history saved in the Windows Registry and am running into a snag.
I have two functions. One to convert the binary text, and the second to get the actual data.
Here is what I have:
def val2addr(val):
addr = ""
for ch in val:
addr += ("%02x "% ord(ch))
addr = addr.strip(" ").replace(" ", ":")[0:17]
return addr
def printNets():
net = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\Unmanaged"
key = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, net)
print key
print '\n[*] Networks You have Joined.'
for i in range(100):
try:
guid = EnumKey(key, i)
netKey = OpenKey(key, str(guid))
(n, addr, t) = EnumValue(netKey, 5)
macAddr = val2addr(addr)
netName = str(name)
print '[+] ' + netName + ' ' + macAddr
CloseKey(netKey)
except:
break
I believe the error is in this guid value:
for i in range(100):
try:
guid = EnumKey(key, i)
netKey = OpenKey(key, str(guid))
(n, addr, t) = EnumValue(netKey, 5)
When I run the "try" subcode by itself it throws up a:
[ERROR 259] no more data available
pointing to the guid value.
I think that is where I am stuck. I'm having trouble finding the error because it just gets thrown to the except code, and thus not giving me any feedback.
Please help!!!
EDIT: From what I am digging up it may be due to running 32bit Python on a 64bit system. Still digging though.
When I came across the 32/64 bit problem I got round it by using code similar to this
import winreg
HKLM =winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
bb = r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\Unmanaged"
abc = winreg.OpenKeyEx(HKLM, bb,0,(winreg.KEY_WOW64_64KEY + winreg.KEY_ALL_ACCESS))
efg = winreg.EnumKey(abc,0)
z = winreg.OpenKeyEx(abc,str(efg))
q = winreg.QueryValueEx(z,"Description")[0]
print (q)
q = winreg.QueryValueEx(z,"DefaultGatewayMac")[0]
print (q)
Hope this helps pointing you in the right direction
How i can get fat32 attributes (like archived, hidden...) in linux without spawning a new process with fatattr utility call ? May be there is python binding for it or for linux/fs functions (fat_ioctl_get_attributes, http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/fs/fat/file.c). Or maybe it can be done with python-xattr ?
As you can see in the function name, the kernel function fat_ioctl_get_attributes is called from userspace via an ioctl, and I'm not aware of any other binding. Therefore, you can simply read the attributes by calling ioctl yourself, like this:
import array
import fcntl
import os
FAT_IOCTL_GET_ATTRIBUTES = 0x80047210
FATATTR_BITS = 'rhsvda67'
def get_fat_attrs(fn):
fd = os.open(fn, os.O_RDONLY)
try:
buf = array.array('L', [0])
try:
fcntl.ioctl(fd, FAT_IOCTL_GET_ATTRIBUTES, buf, True)
except IOError as ioe:
if ioe.errno == 25: # Not a FAT volume
return None
else:
raise
return buf[0]
finally:
os.close(fd)
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
for fn in sys.argv[1:]:
attrv = get_fat_attrs(fn)
if attrv is None:
print(fn + ': Not on a FAT volume')
continue
s = ''.join((fb if (1 << idx) & attrv else ' ')
for idx,fb in enumerate(FATATTR_BITS))
print(fn + ': ' + s)
I'm trying to connect to my phone from my Windows 7 PC using PySerial with the following code:
import wmi
import serial
c = wmi.WMI()
modem = c.query("SELECT * FROM Win32_POTSModem").pop()
ser = serial.Serial(modem.AttachedTo, modem.MaxBaudRateToSerialPort)
try:
ser.write('at \r\n')
print ser.readline()
finally:
ser.close()
But get the following error on the write call:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Alasdair\Documents\Python Scripts\Phone Interface\test.py", line 14, in <module>
ser.write('at \r\n')
File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\serial\serialwin32.py", line 255, in write
raise SerialException("WriteFile failed (%s)" % ctypes.WinError())
SerialException: WriteFile failed ([Error 6] The handle is invalid.)
I've tried connecting with TeraTerm and that works fine, so it's not a problem with the connection to the phone itself.
I've been searching around for ages trying to find a solution but haven't come up with anything that works. Any ideas?
I have just fixed this problem on 64bit windows (XP, Vista and 7).
This problem is caused by the invalid handle casting which discard the upper 32-bit of 64-bit value due to old python-win32 functions.
If you faced this kind of problem, please use the new python-win32 functions which is included in the win32file etc. modules.
Please write the following code over site-packages\serial\serialwin32.py.

I'm on windows 7 64 bit, with python 2.6, and it's giving me the same error.
ser = serial.Serial(3,115200,timeout=1)
ser.read()
#or ser.write("whatever")
Traceback (most recent call last):

SerialException: ReadFile failed ([Error 6] The handle is invalid.)
When using a similar program using a c library, the same port responds correctly. What happens here? Sounds like a bug in either pyserial or ctypes. Are you using 64 bit too?
the source code for writing in pyserial looks very simple
def write(self, data):
"""Output the given string over the serial port."""
if not self.hComPort: raise portNotOpenError
#~ if not isinstance(data, (bytes, bytearray)):
#~ raise TypeError('expected %s or bytearray, got %s' % (bytes, type(data)))
# convert data (needed in case of memoryview instance: Py 3.1 io lib), ctypes doesn't like memoryview
data = bytes(data)
if data:
#~ win32event.ResetEvent(self._overlappedWrite.hEvent)
n = win32.DWORD()
err = win32.WriteFile(self.hComPort, data, len(data), ctypes.byref(n), self._overlappedWrite)
if not err and win32.GetLastError() != win32.ERROR_IO_PENDING:
raise SerialException("WriteFile failed (%s)" % ctypes.WinError())
perhaps a problem with 64 bit ctypes?
Update:
Definitly a 64 bit problem atleast for me. I just installed an x86 version of python (3.1 this time), and it now works fine. Apperantly 64 bit ctypes can only import 64 bits libraries. Sounds very strange not being able to reach operating system libraries though.
I observed this problem with Python 2.7 win7 x64, and PySerial 2.5 installed automatically from easy_install.exe
The problem is not there with PySerial 2.4, so if your code is compatible with 2.4, just use that one instead and the problem is solved. Notice that you have to use pywin32 also, and chose the version that correspond to your python (e.g. pywin32-216.win-amd64-py2.7.exe).

This happened to me too and it was actually due to the serial port being closed when I tried to access it. This is because I was using a 'with' structure which makes sure to close the port afterwards and a bad code refactoring lead to this issue.
Use pyserial version 2.4:
