Have a look at this post http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... =32&t=8429, you'll need to dig around in it but there's some good info.

I've been having a dabble with Tkinter and put this together so as to make the exercise worthwhile. It gets information from the /proc directory and displays it in tabs. #!/usr/bin/env python # # Script to get system information from /proc. # Copyrightish Dave Finch 2013. # # Import relevant modules...

The short answer is you can't. Shift, Ctrl, etc. are just modifier keys, so if the key can't be modified (Tab for instance) they will have no effect.
Sorry.
Dave.

quick edit, PyGame has a function to get the modifiers so may be worth going down that route.

Cheers Paddy, should be able to get all the required info from that. And thanks Joan, I've noted that little snippet. A little side note; the script works as expected but running from the terminal it really messes up the font, half the characters become unrecognisable. Must be down to printing some ...

Just trying a little script to get all sorts of system info from the files in /proc. If I manually open the files with nano or similar all the info is there but running the script only returns info from 'uptime' and 'vmstat'. import os os.chdir("/proc") files = [f for f in os.listdir(".") if os.path...

This may be some help... http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 6&p=335250.

Have a look at the files you've unzipped, is there a "setup.py" file? If so you will need to use "python setup.py build" then "python setup.py install" or something similar.
Not sure without seeing the package.

Might I recommend this http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/easydrive ... Easydriver.

I'm assuming you're okay at getting the input through the GPIO, it's just handling the browser part? If so have a look at the webbrowser module http://docs.python.org/2/library/webbrowser.html. Not used it personally but should do what you need.

However, all of these rely on OS commands which, presumably, means they are OS dependent. Is there a Python command or technique that can be used regardless of the presence of a particular OS utility? You could use sys.platform to find out which OS you're running on then use the relevant command fo...

When you're checking the state should it not be GPIO.HIGH and GPIO.LOW instead of just HIGH and LOW? And don't put them in inverted commas, they're numbers, not strings. while True: state = GPIO.input(12) if state == GPIO.HIGH: print "Door Open" elif state == GPIO.LOW: print "Door Closed" time.sleep...

The indentation is incorrect and you need to use an 'except' after 'try', in this case it will do nothing but it needs to be there... import serial ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM0', 9600) while True : try: state=serial.readline() print(state) except: pass Try that. Dave.

davef21370

I really don't know, but as your code is okay and it runs on another machine I can only think it's a problem with the OS or settings and as I've used similar code on Debian it isn't an OS problem which only leaves settings.

Your code looks fine so have a look here....

I may be missing something here but would it not be easier just writing one script with the SMS part in the GUIs main loop?

Dave.

Maybe try converting the Unicode to ASCII first...

Can you not use something simpler like...

Code: Select all

place=sentence.find("#CAPITALISE")
if place != -1:
    place+=11
    sentence[place]=sentence[place].upper

Not tested this but can't be far off and would need some error checking as it assumes there would definately be a character after the hash tag.

Dave.

davef21370

Can't really help without seeing your code but that error means you have a character somewhere in the name of a function or variable that isn't a letter, number or underscore so it isn't allowed. It may be a problem with copying and pasting, try downloading the source from the site instead of copyin...

davef21370

Have you tried

Code: Select all

<form method=POST action="python cgi101.py">

May not work but worth a try.

Dave.

davef21370

This worked for me... http://miloq.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/ins ... linux.html
Give yourself plenty of time, if I remember rightly it took about 4 hours to build and install.

For reasons unbeknown to me, I need to run my python program using a terminal within LXDE, otherwise it doesn't work. I suspect it is something to do with needing a graphic environment for the pygame console. PyGame will run fine from the terminal (and noticeably quicker), no LXDE required. Do you ...

davef21370

I'll agree with Davespice about VB covering up some important stuff, I used REALBasic (very similar package) on the Mac years ago and it's fine for throwing something together quickly but you miss how everything works. Personally for a GUI in Python I'd use PyQT with QT Designer to create the interf...

davef21370

Unfortunately not, PyGame doesn't work with Python 3.

Dave.

davef21370

You're best bet would be to post this question in the "Hardware and peripherals - Interfacing (DSI, CSI, I2C, etc.)" forum. I know it's a Python related question but it's kind of specialized so you'll probably have more luck there.

Cheers.
Dave.
