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.

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.

Execute PowerShell from Python

List or search all installed apps on Ubuntu 18.04 with Python.
I was bored… Of course this can be done easily in the terminal, but what’s the fun in that? This should work on any flavor of Debian/Ubuntu. import os import subprocess as sp ”’ Pipe to file in terminal: $ flatpak list –app –show-details > ~/Documents/installed-flatpack.log $ dpkg –get-selections > ~/Documents/installed-software.log Not using Debian? Here’s […]
