Fetch COVID-19 US state data and upload to site as JSON in Python 3.
During the protests while already being locked down by the virus and curfews, maybe fear that the end was here (nah, we know better), I got bored and made a dashboard to watch the protest action from the safety of home as neither of us can risk the cost of COVID treatment or loss of […]
VPN Count Dashboard Example
Before all hell broke loose I built a dashboard for management to give a near real-time view of health, errors, etc. Once we got sent home to work and we popped most of the work force on VPN, I was tasked with adding a widget to show connected users. Of course this is an example […]
Python and Gtk code to reduce file size and resize images for web usage.
I needed a tool for my wife to resize images for her blog and I found one called Trimage. I wasn’t much fond of it so I wrote my own, it’s fast and stable for only a days worth of coding. To run the code directly you’ll need GObject and PIL, you might want Pillow […]
Simple Python 3 threaded timer in Gtk3.
A quick and dirty timer example. If you need to execute after a period of time use Thread.Timer(). This example uses simple thread and event to start and stop a clock in a Gtk 3 window counting up time in a label. #!/usr/bin/python3 import gi gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') from gi.repository import Gtk,Pango,GObject import threading import datetime […]
Python 3 ThreadPoolExecutor in Gtk 3
So I wanted to collect all the theme icons on my Linux machine so I wrote a little app. It is really fast using the ThreadPoolExecutor from futures. I’ve used this at work but never in a Gtk app. Here’s the result from the straight Python 3 code without a GUI. That’s a lot of […]
Get Dynatrace json dumps from threaded Python 3.
Today was a boring day so I was doing anything to make it go faster. I ended up redoing some Python code. It didn’t need to be threaded but I was bored! It’s cold, windy, and dark here. Blah! Maybe someone will find this useful? #!/usr/bin/python3 from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor import requests # https://pypi.org/project/requests/ import […]
Collect user logons from Windows 10 with Python 3.
This is basically how I collect physical user logons along with reboots, etc. I dump this shit into a database and deliver via a web-page so folks can do dated searches by workstation or user ID. Works beautifully. You will need the Win32api libraries. I am running this on a Win 2019 server from Python3.7, […]
Get all installed software on Windows 10 with Python 3 and WMI.
This is very basic and I’d lie if I said I hadn’t tried looping through the registry for 64/32 bit, but this works great and isn’t missing entries. I deliver this in a web page making it easy to do look ups on most machines in my org. Tweak as you need, add some error […]
Get keywords from YouTube video meta tag.
My wife was wanting to see the meta tags embedded in YouTube videos so I whipped up this quick Python script.
Execute PowerShell from Python
I originally wrote this to execute PowerShell scripts from a Flask web interface. You can now install Powershell on Linux. Crazy, ain’t it?
