How do I run a bash command in python 3? topic

Hi I'm trying to learn how to use python. What I want to do it change some of my bash scripts into python 3 scripts as I learn python. I have a bash script that does apt-get update and want to now I would do that in python?

I installed python 3 with apt-get install idle3 to learn python3

found this but I think it is old
import subprocess

def bash_command(cmd):
subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, executable='/bin/bash')

bash_command('a="Apples and oranges" && echo "${a/oranges/grapes}"')

I get this error message in idle3
SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement
with a red line after import subprocess

[ubuntu] Lost Panel after executing Aptitude command on Python topic

So guys, I executed the Aptitude to uninstall my python(v2.7) due to some development work. However, i think i typed in something and all my other files were also removed.

Now when i reboot into Ubuntu (v12.04), My desktop has no Panels and I am unable to perform any operations.

The link below shows the errors...

Furthermore, I have alot of dependency problem.
E.g.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:python-software-properties : Depends: python (< 2.7) but 2.7.3-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
Depends: python-pycurl but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
What is the issue???

Please help....

Cron won't run Python Twitter Bot topic

It runs perfectly manually and in cron's bash environment - so I'm assuming there might be something about crontab in the OAuth process itself? I have tried running env in cron and pasting the PATH I found there also...

twitter_follow_bot.py

Code:

---

from twitter import Twitter, OAuth, TwitterHTTPError
import os


# put your tokens, keys, secrets, and Twitter handle in the following variables
OAUTH_TOKEN = "..."
OAUTH_SECRET = "..."
CONSUMER_KEY = "..."
CONSUMER_SECRET = "..."
TWITTER_HANDLE = "..."


# put the full path and file name of the file you want to store your "already followed"
# list in
# OMITTED - ALREADY_FOLLOWED_FILE = "already-followed.csv"


t = Twitter(auth=OAuth(OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_SECRET,
            CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET))




def search_tweets(q, count=100, result_type="recent"):
    """
        Returns a list of tweets matching a certain phrase (hashtag, word, etc.)
    """


    return t.search.tweets(q=q, result_type=result_type, count=count)


---

startuprun.py

Code:

---

from twitter_follow_bot import auto_fav


auto_fav("startup", count=100)

---

sudo crontab -e (the last line is an alternate tester - today is "7" in cron's calendar..

Code:

---

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
SHELL=/usr/bin/bash


*/15 * * * * 1-2 /usr/bin/python /var/www/html/twitter/startuprun.py  >> /tmp/cron.output
*/15 * * * 3-4 /usr/bin/python /var/www/html/twitter/entrepreneurrun.py  >> /tmp/cron.output
*/15 * * * 5-6 /usr/bin/python /var/www/html/twitter/venturecapitalrun.py  >> /tmp/cron.output
*/1 * * * 7 /usr/bin/python /var/www/html/twitter/techrun.py >> /tmp/cron.output
*/1 * * * 7 python /var/www/html/twitter/techrun.py >> /tmp/cron.output

---

Errors are no longer writing to cron.output so I think it might be on twitters end.

Anyone know of any issues between cron and the authorisation process? Or maybe something else that I've missed? I've also tried putting a shebang for bash, python at the top of crontab but no joy...

Non-standard python topic

I want to use this python-binding to CUDA

https://store.continuum.io/cshop/accelerate/

But there is a problem. As the support told me:

Quote:

Anaconda doesn't work with your system python or your system python libraries. Anaconda supersedes it. The Anaconda install changes your path so when you open up a terminal and type python the first and only python and python libraries it sees are in your home directory. (unless you are on windows, that's a different story)

All of these instructions are for linux:
* Install Anaconda from continuum.io/downloads
* You can update libraries directly from the terminal by typing:


conda install <package>


if that fails (as it will for pygtk because there isn't a conda package in the anaconda channel for that yet)
you can look on binstar.org to find the package you want built by the community.


conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/ska pygtk


Pip installs also work.
pip install <package_name>

So I would like to solve this problem...... I need the community help!!!! Many thanks!!
