I would just ask it in the js & webdev community =]

Yup, I agree.

It looks like ffmpeg is using about 1/3 of the processing power, but this is likely intentional, because if it froze your computer you’d be pissed.

nice catch!
I constantly switch between Js and python, and cant remember the differences lol
yeah, the --help generation is a very convenient part of the libs.
I just wrote this to demonstrate the simplest possible answer.

programming in a nutshell

you have a really simple use-case, so you probably don’t need and argument parsing lib, which I would normally recommend…

You can just iterate through the arguments array and categorize them by type, then add them to the appropriate collection to be handled later.

Something like this:

ids = []
urls = []
csvs = []
for arg in sys.argv:
  if arg.startswith('http'):
    urls.push(arg)
  else if arg.endswith('.csv'):
    csvs.push(arg)
  else:
    ids.push(arg)

Most screenshot tools allow you to pass a name as an argument, so you could make a shell script to generate the name you want then call the screenshotting tool with the appropriate name. Also, consider using flameshot

Have you tested the throughput of dict.manager?
If you need big scale, there is always redis.

Typically each project would have unit-tests that cover their own different edge cases, and the one that imports the other would have 1 end-to-end test that covers both functionality but doesn’t explore all of the edge cases.

def convert_video_progress_bar(self, manager, cmd):
    name = self.path.rsplit(os.path.sep, 1)[-1]
    # Run ffmpeg
    proc = expect.spawn(cmd, encoding='utf-8')
    pbar = None
    try:
        # extract the total number of frames 
        proc.expect(pattern_duration)
        total = sum(map(lambda x: float(
            x[1])*60**x[0], enumerate(reversed(proc.match.groups()[0].strip().split(':')))))
        cont = 0
        # keeps track of the progress to show it to the user
        pbar = manager.counter(
            total=100,
            desc=name,
            unit='%',
            bar_format=BAR_FMT,
            counter_format=COUNTER_FMT,
            leave=False
        )
        # infinite loop
        while True:
            # look for a progress indicator, and extract the frame count
            proc.expect(pattern_progress)
            progress = sum(map(lambda x: float(
                x[1])*60**x[0], enumerate(reversed(proc.match.groups()[0].strip().split(':')))))
            # compute the percentage complete
            percent = progress/total*100
            # update the counter, to show the user
            pbar.update(percent-cont)
            cont = percent
    # because of the infinite loop, 
    # `proc.expect` will throw an error once ffmpeg has completed.
    # catch that error, and clean things up
    except expect.EOF:
        traceback.print_exc()
    finally:
        if pbar is not None:
            pbar.close()
    proc.expect(expect.EOF)
    res = proc.before
    res += proc.read()
    # check to see if ffmpeg threw and error
    exitstatus = proc.wait()
    if exitstatus:
        raise ffmpeg.Error('ffmpeg', '', res)

It would be helpful to link the full source like this

It looks like you’re using an older version of the code, so its hard to tell whats happening exactly. can you link it please?

The code is pretty much entirely just using the pexpect library, so you’d need to familiarize yourself with that first. Read the API Overview section of the docs.

Also, a good way of figuring out how code works, is to print() out the variables youre curious about.

I see.

res += "4 " + name The problem here is you’re doing <List> += <str>

Changing it to: res.append('4 ' + name) fixes it

It’s hard to understand what you’re trying to do here…
I would recommend stripping the problem down to a couple lines and explaining what you want and why your code doesn’t work.

If you’re trying to extract information from a string regular expressions are the way to go. You should probably add more to the regexp to capture the name and the percentage, like so:

re.match(r'(.*) \(([0-9]*)%\)', s).groups()

I think this is as close as you’re going to get
xargs apt-get install --ignore-missing < my_package_list.txt

sorry, I misread and thought he was asking trying to run “visual studio” or something lol

It’s not advised to run apps with sudo.

I created a script for vim that will let me save with sudo, so I just need the password when saving. I would recommend looking for a similar solution.
