Python API tutorial - An Introduction to using APIs
Application Program Interfaces, or APIs, are commonly used to retrieve data from remote websites. Sites like Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook all offer certain data through their APIs. To use an API, you make a request to a remote web server, and retrieve the data you need.
But why use an API instead of a static dataset you can download? APIs are useful in the following cases:
- The data is changing quickly. An example of this is stock price data. It doesn’t really make sense to regenerate a dataset and download it every minute – this will take a lot of bandwidth, and be pretty slow.
- You want a small piece of a much larger set of data. Reddit comments are one example. What if you want to just pull your own comments on Reddit? It doesn’t make much sense to download the entire Reddit database, then filter just your own comments.
- There is repeated computation involved. Spotify has an API that can tell you the genre of a piece of music. You could theoretically create your own classifier, and use it to categorize music, but you’ll never have as much data as Spotify does.
In cases like the ones above, an API is the right solution. In this blog post, we’ll be querying a simple API to retrieve data about the International Space Station (ISS). Using an API will save us time and effort over doing all the computation ourselves.
API Requests
APIs are hosted on web servers. When you type www.google.com in your browser’s address bar, your computer is actually asking the www.google.com server for a webpage, which it then returns to your browser.
APIs work much the same way, except instead of your web browser asking for a webpage, your program asks for data. This data is usually returned in JSON format (for more on this, checkout our tutorial on working with JSON data).
In order to get the data, we make a request to a webserver. The server then replies with our data. In Python, we’ll use the requests library to do this. In this Python API tutorial we’ll be using Python 3.4 for all of our examples.
Type of requests
There are many different types of requests. The most commonly used one, a GET request, is used to retrieve data.
We can use a simple GET request to retrieve information from the OpenNotify API.
OpenNotify has several API endpoints. An endpoint is a server route that is used to retrieve different data from the API. For example, the /comments
endpoint on the Reddit API might retrieve information about comments, whereas the /users
endpoint might retrieve data about users. To access them, you would add the endpoint to the base url of the API.
The first endpoint we’ll look at on OpenNotify is the iss-now.json
endpoint. This endpoint gets the current latitude and longitude of the International Space Station. As you can see, retrieving this data isn’t a great fit for a dataset, because it involves some calculation on the server, and changes quickly.
You can see a listing of all the endpoints on OpenNotify here.
The base url for the OpenNotify API is http://api.open-notify.org
, so we’ll add this to the beginning of all of our endpoints.
import requests
# Make a get request to get the latest position of the international space station from the opennotify api.
response = requests.get("http://api.open-notify.org/iss-now.json")
# Print the status code of the response.
print(response.status_code)
print(response.content)
200
b'{"message": "success", "iss_position": {"longitude": "1.1366", "latitude": "-46.3248"}, "timestamp":<PHONE_NUMBER>}'
Status codes
The request we just made had a status code of 200
. Status codes are returned with every request that is made to a web server. Status codes indicate information about what happened with a request. Here are some codes that are relevant to GET requests:
- 200 – everything went okay, and the result has been returned (if any)
- 301 – the server is redirecting you to a different endpoint. This can happen when a company switches domain names, or an endpoint name is changed.
- 401 – the server thinks you’re not authenticated. This happens when you don’t send the right credentials to access an API (we’ll talk about authentication in a later post).
- 400 – the server thinks you made a bad request. This can happen when you don’t send along the right data, among other things.
- 403 – the resource you’re trying to access is forbidden – you don’t have the right permissions to see it.
- 404 – the resource you tried to access wasn’t found on the server.
We’ll now make a GET request to http://api.open-notify.org/iss-pass
, an endpoint that doesn’t exist, per the API documentation.
response = requests.get("http://api.open-notify.org/iss-pass")
print(response.status_code)
404
Hitting the right endpoint
iss-pass
wasn’t a valid endpoint, so we got a 404
status code in response. We forgot to add .json
at the end, as the API documentation states.
We’ll now make a GET
request to http://api.open-notify.org/iss-pass.json
.
response = requests.get("http://api.open-notify.org/iss-pass.json")
print(response.status_code)
400
Query parameters
You’ll see that in the last example, we got a 400
status code, which indicates a bad request. If you look at the documentation for the OpenNotify API, we see that the ISS Pass endpoint requires two parameters.
The ISS Pass endpoint returns when the ISS will next pass over a given location on earth. In order to compute this, we need to pass the coordinates of the location to the API. We do this by passing two parameters – latitude and longitude.
We can do this by adding an optional keyword argument, params
, to our request. In this case, there are two parameters we need to pass:
- lat – The latitude of the location we want.
- lon – The longitude of the location we want.
We can make a dictionary with these parameters, and then pass them into the requests.get
function.
We can also do the same thing directly by adding the query parameters to the url, like this: http://api.open-notify.org/iss-pass.json?lat=40.71&lon=-74
.
It’s almost always preferable to setup the parameters as a dictionary, because requests
takes care of some things that come up, like properly formatting the query parameters.
We’ll make a request using the coordinates of New York City, and see what response we get.
# Set up the parameters we want to pass to the API.
# This is the latitude and longitude of New York City.
parameters = {"lat": 40.71, "lon": -74}
# Make a get request with the parameters.
response = requests.get("http://api.open-notify.org/iss-pass.json", params=parameters)
# response = requests.get("http://api.open-notify.org/iss-pass.json?lat={0}&lon={1}".format(parameters['lat'], parameters['lon']))
# Print the content of the response (the data the server returned)
print(response.json())
# This gets the same data as the command above
# response = requests.get("http://api.open-notify.org/iss-pass.json?lat=40.71&lon=-74")
# print(response.content)
{'message': 'success', 'request': {'altitude': 100, 'datetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>, 'latitude': 40.71, 'longitude': -74.0, 'passes': 5}, 'response': [{'duration': 504, 'risetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>}, {'duration': 655, 'risetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>}, {'duration': 606, 'risetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>}, {'duration': 559, 'risetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>}, {'duration': 613, 'risetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>}]}
Working with JSON data
You may have noticed that the content of the response earlier was a string
. Although it was shown as a bytes object, we can easily convert the content to a string using response.content.decode("utf-8")
.
Strings are the way that we pass information back and forth to APIs, but it’s hard to get the information we want out of them. How do we know how to decode the string that we get back and work with it in Python? How do we figure out the altitude
of the ISS from the string response?
Luckily, there’s a format called JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). JSON is a way to encode data structures like lists and dictionaries to strings that ensures that they are easily readable by machines. JSON is the primary format in which data is passed back and forth to APIs, and most API servers will send their responses in JSON format.
Python has great JSON support, with the json
package. The json
package is part of the standard library, so we don’t have to install anything to use it. We can both convert lists and dictionaries to JSON, and convert strings to lists and dictionaries. In the case of our ISS Pass data, it is a dictionary encoded to a string in JSON format.
The json library has two main methods:
- dumps – Takes in a Python object, and converts it to a string.
- loads – Takes a JSON string, and converts it to a Python object.
# Make a list of fast food chains.
best_food_chains = ["Taco Bell", "Shake Shack", "Chipotle"]
# This is a list.
print(type(best_food_chains))
<class 'list'>
# Import the json library
import json
# Use json.dumps to convert best_food_chains to a string.
best_food_chains_string = json.dumps(best_food_chains)
print('***', best_food_chains_string)
*** ["Taco Bell", "Shake Shack", "Chipotle"]
# We've successfully converted our list to a string.
print(type(best_food_chains_string))
<class 'str'>
# Convert best_food_chains_string back into a list
print(type(json.loads(best_food_chains_string)))
<class 'list'>
# Make a dictionary
fast_food_franchise = {
"Subway": 24722,
"McDonalds": 14098,
"Starbucks": 10821,
"Pizza Hut": 7600
}
# We can also dump a dictionary to a string and load it.
fast_food_franchise_string = json.dumps(fast_food_franchise)
print(type(fast_food_franchise_string))
<class 'str'>
Getting JSON from an API request
You can get the content of a response as a python object by using the .json()
method on the response.
# Make the same request we did earlier, but with the coordinates of San Francisco instead.
parameters = {"lat": 37.78, "lon": -122.41}
response = requests.get("http://api.open-notify.org/iss-pass.json", params=parameters)
print(type(response.content))
<class 'bytes'>
# Get the response data as a python object. Verify that it's a dictionary.
data = response.json()
print(type(data))
print(data)
print('message is ', data['message'])
print('altitude is ', data['request']['altitude'])
<class 'dict'>
{'message': 'success', 'request': {'altitude': 100, 'datetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>, 'latitude': 37.78, 'longitude': -122.41, 'passes': 5}, 'response': [{'duration': 529, 'risetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>}, {'duration': 654, 'risetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>}, {'duration': 567, 'risetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>}, {'duration': 487, 'risetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>}, {'duration': 567, 'risetime':<PHONE_NUMBER>}]}
message is success
altitude is 100
Content type
The server doesn’t just send a status code and the data when it generates a response. It also sends metadata containing information on how the data was generated and how to decode it. This is stored in the response headers. In Python, we can access this with the headers
property of a response object.
The headers will be shown as a dictionary. Within the headers, content-type
is the most important key for now. It tells us the format of the response, and how to decode it. For the OpenNotify API, the format is JSON, which is why we could decode it with the json
package earlier.
# Headers is a dictionary
print(response.headers)
# Get the content-type from the dictionary.
print(response.headers["content-type"])
{'Server': 'nginx/1.10.3', 'Date': 'Thu, 31 Oct 2019 20:26:33 GMT', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Content-Length': '521', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Via': '1.1 vegur'}
application/json
Finding the number of people in space
OpenNotify has one more API endpoint, astros.json
. It tells you how many people are currently in space. The format of the responses can be found here.
# Get the response from the API endpoint.
response = requests.get("http://api.open-notify.org/astros.json")
data = response.json()
# people are currently in space.
print(data["number"])
print(data)
6
{'people': [{'name': 'Christina Koch', 'craft': 'ISS'}, {'name': 'Alexander Skvortsov', 'craft': 'ISS'}, {'name': 'Luca Parmitano', 'craft': 'ISS'}, {'name': 'Andrew Morgan', 'craft': 'ISS'}, {'name': 'Oleg Skripochka', 'craft': 'ISS'}, {'name': 'Jessica Meir', 'craft': 'ISS'}], 'number': 6, 'message': 'success'}

DXM |
(capsule) |
I've done DXM many times before, along with cannabis and mushrooms. However, this is the end.
I had been planning a fourth plateau dosage for a while now, as I had done some extremely mind-bending third plateau dosages in the weeks previous. I wanted to see God, to open up my spirituality. So, 20 minutes prior the trip I took 750 mg magnesium, my first time doing magnesium with DXM, and then proceeded to take the 900 mg DXM dose in Robitussin CoughGels. It took a while to kick in as I spread it out over about 50 minutes, then when I looked at the clock I felt connections with the numbers. I don't remember the time, but I probably started taking it around 7 to 8 and looked at the clock at 9:30 or so.
I was completely out of it, and I mean COMPLETELY. I don't remember anything until later, when my dad was carrying me down the stairs. 'Just like when I was a little infant,' I thought to myself, and everything became very sad. My mother then drove me to the emergency room, since my pupils were huge and my heart was beating so hard and fast they could see it in my chest. I don't remember the emergency room until I woke up several hours later, with a very sad and tired mother next to me and a tube in my dick, the most uncomfortable thing ever. She said she had found me in my room last night on Robitussin Coughgels which she found in my drawer, and I just held her hand and talked to her.
I hadn't smoked pot in a couple weeks luckily, so when they did a drug test pot turned out negative. However, PCP turned out 100% positive! I have never done PCP, so I explained to the doctor how DXM creates a false-positive for PCP and he called poison control and confirmed it.  This was at about 3:30 in the morning, and neither of us had gotten any sleep.
I walked back into my room when I got home still tripping pretty hard, and saw my dad had torn all my posters off my walls and searched my room, confiscating my glass bowl in the process. This was a truly bad experience. I'm done with DXM for this lifetime.

City of Angels (1998)
My wife said it best as we left the theater, It was uneven.
What's charming about the film are its engaging takes on life -- city, human, celestial. When we first look upon the angels Seth (Nicolas Cage) and Cassiel (Andre Braugher) sitting atop superhighway signs, we know the narrative will be pleasantly slanted and watchable. Their wings and halos replaced by black overcoats, these messengers from God patrol streets, construction sites, and especially libraries. It is in the library that Seth and mortal Dr. Maggie Rice (Meg Ryan) meet in two emotional scenes, one beginning their relationship and the other determining if it will end.
I found the angels' ability to read humans' thoughts not so much original as fascinating. As the camera moves among the cars in a traffic jam or among carrels in the library, we are permitted to mind-surf, catching glimpses of what life is like in this very human, "naked city." It is gritty yet beautiful, from the scenes in the hospital in which Meg tries to prolong life, to the scenes in which the angels – seen only by us and by those they choose – give humans small embraces of protection. John Seale's cinematography paints Los Angeles in colors Maxfield Parrish would use: glowing and clean; even shots of seaminess are uncluttered and objectified.
The major roles are indeed well-acted.  Unlike most of his fellow celestials (who at times look alarmingly remote and agent-like), Seth pursues a human. (Isn't it a breach of the ethics of invisibility to watch a woman as she bathes, or kisses her boyfriend?) On her part, Meg Ryan is appropriately tentative in dealing with Seth. Where another might think him an odd preacher or even a stalker, Maggie eventually realizes his gentleness, and soon harbors amorous thoughts that Seth intercepts. Her performance is most riveting when she discovers Seth's corporeal form is bloodless; her mix of fear, bafflement and anger alerts us to the crux of her emotional predicament.
The minor roles in this picture function like confidants in a good play, enabling the leading roles to succeed. Dennis Franz does a most convincing job as Nathaniel Messinger, a gluttonous, life-loving patient of Maggie's. It's not far-fetched that Franz will get a nod as Best Supporting Actor nominee. One of the hard-to-believe sequences has Nathaniel leaving the hospital to chow down at a diner (while Seth, who has manifested himself to another mortal, eats nothing). But Nathaniel's gusto, along with Maggie's mutual feelings, causes Seth to take a fall into the grimy pleasures of humanity. In his role as Cassiel, Andre Braugher (say it ain't so, Andre, that you're leaving Homicide!) is underused. Further, some of his banter with Seth is not transparent enough.
Just as Braugher does a masterful job with average lines, Cage admirably juggles a handful of clichés. Are we to believe that Seth, formerly an immortal who for ages has observed humans, is not cagey enough to avoid hitch-hiking, in the rain, outside a nude-dancing palace, and then benevolently greeting a carload of scumbags who mug him? Would he really act so child-like at the strong scent from a bottle of perfume?  It is stated in the film that "No one believes in us (angels) anymore"; a big problem is that the movie contradicts this claim by further popularizing all things angel. What we wind up with is another New-Agey, secular treatment of religious themes.
Let me end by commending the sequence in which Seth falls to earthiness. Director Silberling's black-and-white montage is dramatically brilliant, evoking the precious and intimate side of humanity remembered by the deceased characters in Our Town. I also liked that the ending of City of Angels would not please followers of Disney. I only wish the ending sustained the emotional power of what comes just before it. And I'm an easier critic than my wife.

I'm Federico López, a Software Engineer from Argentina. But more than anything, I am a nerd. I love to study. My passion and biggest hobby is reading about almost everything, and my curiosity led me to graduate in Software Engineering. I was captivated by the logical and mathematical algorithmic problems. They are an amusing and intriguing riddle for me. Nonetheless I never stopped reading whatever got to my hands. While working on my thesis, I discovered Natural Language Processing, which I found totally fascinating due to its relation with texts of any kind and nature. Nowadays I am working at a marketing company with Big data and Machine learning tools, which are also very interesting. At the same time I am starting some research projects in related areas at Faculty of Engineering of the University of Buenos Aires (FIUBA).
I am also passionate about traveling, and I write a blog in Spanish about different trips that I did. You can check it out here.
Feel free to contact me through any social network or to my email.


I am a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University in Human-Computer Interaction. I am fortunate to be a member of the DIG Lab and be advised by Adam Perer. Check out my latest research to learn more! When I'm not working on projects, you can find me biking around Pittsburgh!


Alfresco H2 support releases and versioning scheme
Some time has passed since the last releases, and all the merits go once again to our dear John Evans from Ixxus. Let's see what's new in the project.
Lots of releases, now with a new version scheme!
We were lagging behind Alfresco releases quite a bit, so you now have quite some new releases to look at. Most importantly, starting with Alfresco 4.2.0 we decided to align H2 Support with the official Alfresco versioning. So, while H2 Support v1.7 and v1.8 are the ones to be used respectively with Alfresco Enterprise 4.1.5 and 4.1.6, you will easily guess what versions of Alfresco Enterprise will have to use H2 Support v4.2.0 and v4.2.1.
Say your Alfresco v4.2.0 project is based on the maven archetypes (and shame on you if it's not), then you could simply override the following <property>
in your pom:
<h2-support.version>${alfresco.version}</h2-support.version> <!-- WARN WARN WARN!! -->
Neah huh? But there's a big WARN
sign in there, why's that?
Say the release of H2 Support is broken in any way (in theory it should never happen, but in practice it might happen). Then it might be a bit unfortunate if your poms rely on H2 Support and Alfresco to have exactly the same version. So, while the above should work in most cases, the preferred way to include H2 Support in your project is still as follows:
<h2-support.version>4.2.0</h2-support.version> <!-- much better! -->
Plans for the future
In the future we plan to have a different strategy to bring H2 Support for Alfresco. Currently, we simply copy all the PostgreSQL in an H2 friendly package, so that the internal Alfresco machinery will automatically find them. Then, H2 compatibility mode is used to make the PostgreSQL dialect understood by the H2 driver. That's obviously suboptimal, and we will research methods to skip shuffling files around, but rather override the Alfresco SQL files locator strategy. The new strategy should provide a better integration with any Alfresco release, and we might very well need not new H2 Support releases per Alfresco version.
If you'd like to help us realizing this integration sweet spot, you're so much welcome to joink the H2 Support crew!

Writing Presentable Examples
Writing an example is easy. Any example is a good one. The more the better.
Writing examples that can be used in a presentations is hard.
Some basic guidelines of writing examples:
-
focus on one idea per example
-
keep examples short
-
one test case
-
minimal code to make the point
-
-
avoid showing an entire API in one example, if possible
-
be conscious of the cost of "setting the stage"
-
if examples get too big, split it
Noise vs signal
It takes time to learn the example scenario (noise). You need to learn the scenario before you can start to see the important parts (signal).
Be very mindful of your noise to signal ratio.
Example scenarios do not need to be believable and should not be elaborate. Get to the point in as few classes as possible.
You should be able to explain the entire example in two minutes.
Five ways to do the same thing
If there are five ways to do the same thing, avoid making five different scenarios. Copy the example to a new directory, and tweak it to show the variation.
So say you used objects Green
, Square
and Checkers
to show the basic concept and you wish to show the next variation of that same concept.
It is tempting to add to the same example objects Yellow
, Triangle
and PolkaDots
.
Avoid that.
Copy Green
, Square
and Checkers
to a new example, change the package name, and update the few lines needed to show the difference.
Where does your eye focus?
-
934 + 55 = 989
-
513 - 19 = 494
-
468 * 44 = 20592
-
708 / 89 = 7
-
401 % 63 = 23
How about now?
-
102 + 35 = 137
-
102 - 35 = 67
-
102 * 35 = 3570
-
102 / 35 = 2
-
102 % 35 = 32
The intent of the second set of numbers can be easily guessed. An explanation that it is about the math operators confirms that and locks it in your brain.
When presenting, you only get so much time to show people ideas. If they have to learn a new set of names and understand their relationship on each tiny variation, it severely impacts their ability to see what is supposed to be the same and what is supposed to be different. As a presenter this means you must show less and what you do show will be shown less clearly.
When names and scenarios are consistent, the variations jump out quickly and with impact.
If there are five ways to do the same thing, show the same thing five different ways.
Short Class Names
You don’t need to document the example with the class name. Class names that are a mouthful cannot be effectively used in presentations or screencasts.
Try to stick with one or two word class names. Three tops.
Avoid:
-
BeanWithTwoDecoratorsAndOneProducerMethod
Try instead:
-
BlueBean
Shorter names can be easier for all sorts of reasons. Less words to keep "floating in the head" when trying to truly see an example.
Using the numbers from the previous section, which is easier?
-
102 + 35 = 137
-
102 - 35 = 67
-
102 * 35 = 3570
-
102 / 35 = 2
-
102 % 35 = 32
Or:
-
12 + 3 = 15
-
12 - 3 = 9
-
12 * 3 = 36
-
12 / 3 = 4
-
12 % 3 = 0
There’s a finite amount people can keep in their head, save space for the important stuff.

Joint that has a spherical joint on each of its two ends. The rod connecting the two spherical joints is approximated by a point mass that is located in the middle of the rod. When the mass is set to zero (default), special code for a massless body is generated. In the following default animation figure, the two spherical joints are represented by two red spheres, the connecting rod by a grey cylinder and the point mass in the middle of the rod by a light blue sphere:
This joint introduces one constraint defining that the distance between the origin of frame_a and the origin of frame_b is constant (= rodLength). It is highly recommended to use this joint in loops whenever possible, because this enhances the efficiency considerably due to smaller systems of non-linear algebraic equations.
It is sometimes desirable to compute the rodLength of the connecting rod during initialization. For this, parameter computeLength has to be set to true and instead one other, easier to determine, position variable in the same loop needs to have a fixed attribute of true. For example, if a loop consists of one Revolute joint, one Prismatic joint and a SphericalSpherical joint, one may fix the start values of the revolute joint angle and of the relative distance of the prismatic joint in order to compute the rodLength of the rod.
It is not possible to connect other components, such as a body with mass properties or a special visual shape object to the rod connecting the two spherical joints. If this is needed, use instead joint Joints.UniversalSpherical that has this property.


IHH Healthcare receives shareholders’ approval to acquire Prince Court
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 — IHH Healthcare Bhd hopes to complete its proposed acquisition of the Prince Court Medical Centre in the first quarter of 2020, following the strong approval obtained from its shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting today.
In a statement, the healthcare provider said over 99.99 per cent of non-interested shareholders and proxies voted in favour of the conditional share purchase agreement valued for a cash consideration of RM1.02 billion.
Joe Sim, chief executive officer, Malaysia Operations Division said Prince Court would empower IHH to bring its best-in-class care and outcomes to even more patients in Malaysia and abroad.
“With a broader network and stronger cluster of specialised tertiary hospitals in the Klang Valley, supported by a deeper clinical talent pool, IHH can offer a wider array of services and take on more complex cases.
“This will make our facilities even more compelling for both local and foreign patients, and further reinforces Malaysia’s attractiveness as a medical travel destination,” he said.
Strategically located in the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, Prince Court is a 277-licensed bed private healthcare facility offering a wide range of services, including burns management, cancer, gastrointestinal diseases, interventional cardiology, in vitro fertilisation, nephrology, occupational health, orthopaedic, and rehabilitation medicine.
IHH said Prince Court is a profitable operation that is expected to enhance the group’s revenue and income stream, and contribute to its long-term growth. — Bernama

Recipe 2.3. Searching and Replacing Text in a File
Credit: Jeff Bauer, Adam
Krieg
Problem
You need to change one string into another throughout a file.
Solution
String
substitution is most simply performed by the
replace method of string objects. The work here is
to support reading from a specified file (or standard input) and
writing to a specified file (or standard output):
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os, sys
nargs = len(sys.argv)
if not 3 <= nargs <= 5:
print "usage: %s search_text replace_text [infile [outfile]]" % \
os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])
else:
stext = sys.argv[1]
rtext = sys.argv[2]
input_file = sys.stdin
output_file = sys.stdout
if nargs > 3:
7 input_file = open(sys.argv[3])
if nargs > 4:
output_file = open(sys.argv[4], 'w')
for s in input_file:
output_file.write(s.replace(stext, rtext))
output.close( )
input.close( )
Discussion
This recipe is
really simple, but that's what beautiful about
itwhy do complicated stuff when simple stuff suffices? As
indicated by the leading "shebang"
line, the recipe is a simple main script, meaning a script meant to
be run directly at a shell command prompt, as opposed to a module
meant to be imported from elsewhere. The script looks at its
arguments to determine the search text, the replacement text, the
input file (defaulting to standard input), and the output file
(defaulting to standard output). Then, it loops over each line of the
input file, writing to the output file a copy of the line with the
substitution performed on it. That's all! For
accuracy, the script closes both files at the end.
As long as an input file fits comfortably in memory in two copies
(one before and one after the replacement, since strings are
immutable), we could, with an increase in speed, operate on the
entire input file's contents at once instead of
looping. With today's low-end PCs typically
containing at least 256 MB of memory, handling files of up to about
100 MB should not be a problem, and few text files are bigger than
that. It suffices to replace the for loop with one
single statement:
output_file.write(input_file.read( ).replace(stext, rtext))
As you can see, that's even simpler than the loop
used in the recipe.

file objects, and strings'
replace method in the Library
Reference and Python in a

In this crazy world, to a large extent run by satanic paedophiles (although this may be changing at this moment early in January 2018), I want to salute all people who fight for truth and justice, typically by exposing the unfolding dark agenda of the power structure.
In case you think the "government" would not harm its citizens, or that you would know about it from the "media" if they did, just search "How the fluoride scam began", as just one example of how easily we are duped.
Some courageous people fighting for truth are:
I also salute the many courageous like-minded people in their networks, well-known whistleblowers like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden and John Kiriakou, as well as all others who selflessly fight for truth and justice.
These people may disagree on some points (Trump, climate change, etc.), and they may focus on different issues, but they are all courageous people who in their own way fight (non-violently) for a better world. For example, Dane Wigington concentrates on climate engineering, because, as he says, if our planet no longer supports life, nothing else matters. Speaking of which, why are we all silent when unspeakable crimes against the web of life are committed above our heads and in our oceans, basically everywhere and almost every day? Don't we love our children enough to fight for their future by exposing these crimes (see for example www.geoengineeringwatch.org)?
Many people (such as politicians of good will) may live under extreme pressure from the Cabal, but still want to do the right thing. I wish them courage and wisdom.
Let's not forget that several US ex-presidents warned us about the out-of-control military-industrial complex. JFK even stepped far outside the "allowed parameters", with fatal consequences. Others, like Eisenhower, gave similar warnings in their farewell speech.
A hugely important history lesson was given by Russian president Putin in Munich, 2007. He exposed the US empire for what it is: an empire that like so many empires before overstretches itself and destroys itself from within, while causing unimaginable suffering in many parts of the world. We should all take notice of this speech. We should also shame our "media" for "forgetting" this monumental speech, and for their relentless vilification of president Putin and Russia. To have a good laugh, please look here: russophobia.
I want to give special mention to David Icke, who connects dots that are to a large extent not even seen, let alone connected by most people. He clearly shows us that we have been lied to about everything, why that is the case, and how we can deal with it. He goes very deeply into the rabbit hole, and has therefore been ridiculed enormously. Yet if he is mad, why did Germany close its doors to him in 2017?
I also salute people like John Lamb Lash, who attempt to unveil the hidden history of the Gnostics, the Pagan intellectuals who were brutally suppressed and murdered by religious zealots out of fear for their empowering (and highly politically incorrect) message. The power structure is terrified of an empowered populace. You won't hear our controlled media talk (honestly) about the very important Nag Hammadi Codices, found in 1945. Was there a peaceful world before the advent of mainstream religion? If so, what can we learn from those civilisations? You also won't hear about the murder of Hypatia in 415, and its enormous historical significance.
I also salute all those who work in the background to dismantle the satanic paedophile networks running this planet (at one level at least), and who are prepared to sacrifice their lives for the liberation of this planet. This includes many highly evolved humanoid and non-humanoid races fighting a hot and decisive (nearby) galactic war against the dark forces, and whom we will finally meet again. Feel free to laugh at me for saying this, if you find this remark preposterous. On the other hand, if we have been lied to about everything, why dismiss this idea without further investigation?
Counting on others for our liberation is not enough, though. We have to step up for truth and justice ourselves. This implies that we have to understand how we are being played by the dark forces, who do everything they can to keep us in fear and ignorance, in order to control us as their cattle and source of energy. As Einstein said: "You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created". We clearly need to elevate our level of consciousness, and we are now presented with a unique opportunity to do so.
I sincerely hope that 2018 is the breakthrough year for the return of a world that works for everyone!

Shane went to New York City with Mom and Dad. It was very exciting! Then when Shane got home Grandma Connie and Grandpa Morris stopped by on their way to the airport. Some of Shane's new words include: bread, cheese, door, keys, stick, dirt, and flower. Shane still likes to say "baby" especially when he eats YoBaby yogurt. He also says "bye bye" when he sees the telephone.
Shane likes to play with balls. He also likes to point at balls and talk about balls. Puddles and sticks and dirt are fun to play with too. Shane got a new hat with a chin strap to make it difficult to take off.
Shane took the train to Maryland with Mom and Dad. He had lots of fun with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Mike while Mom went to a conference. He went to their offices and he got to play with Grandpa Mike's trains. He also got to see Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Amber and Robroy the greyhound. After Mom's conference was over Shane and Mom and Dad went to visit Aunt Ginny and Uncle Jeff and cousin Justin.  Before going home, Shane visited lots of monuments in Washington, DC with Mom and Dad.
Shane went to some picnics with Mom and Dad.  He also got to watch the Randolph fireworks, which were very cool (last year he slept through them). Shane learned how to say "Ollie" (the name of one of Dad's friends), socks, spoon, bursh, comb, potty, socks, tummy, eye, ear, bubbles, bottle, bath, bag, cat, monkey, and berry.
Mom and Dad bought a backpack that Shane can ride in. Shane gets a good view from up there. Shane likes to collect the dish towels in the kitchen. Sometimes he puts them in his cart and pushes them around -- some times he just waves them in the air. He also likes to pick up the milk and juice containers (and any other garbage he can get out of the recycle bin). He can also say milk and juice, as well as choo choo (as in train).

Django Stories 1.0.4 documentation
A detail view for stories that can paginates the story by paragraph. If a story is not found a 404 or a custom template can be rendered by setting THROW_404 to False.
By default, template stories/pag_story.html is used to render the story which expects the story to be paginated by paragraphs. If the paragraph paginator is not used, the template stories/story_detail.html is used to render the story.
There is two main variables passed to the template p_object_name, which is the stories body field, and template_object_name which is the story instance it self.

Tcl_NewBooleanObj, Tcl_SetBooleanObj, Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj - manipulate Tcl objects as boolean values
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_Obj *
Tcl_NewBooleanObj(boolValue)
Tcl_SetBooleanObj(objPtr, boolValue)
int
Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj(interp, objPtr, boolPtr)
These procedures are used to create, modify, and read boolean Tcl objects from C code. Tcl_NewBooleanObj and Tcl_SetBooleanObj will create a new object of boolean type or modify an existing object to have boolean type. Both of these procedures set the object to have the boolean value (0 or 1) specified by boolValue; if boolValue is nonzero, the object is set to 1, otherwise to 0. Tcl_NewBooleanObj returns a pointer to a newly created object with reference count zero. Both procedures set the object's type to be boolean and assign the boolean value to the object's internal representation longValue member. Tcl_SetBooleanObj invalidates any old string representation and, if the object is not already a boolean object, frees any old internal representation.
Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj attempts to return a boolean value from the Tcl object objPtr. If the object is not already a boolean object, it will attempt to convert it to one. If an error occurs during conversion, it returns TCL_ERROR and leaves an error message in the interpreter's result object unless interp is NULL. Otherwise, Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj returns TCL_OK and stores the boolean value in the address given by boolPtr. If the object is not already a boolean object, the conversion will free any old internal representation. Objects having a string representation equal to any of 0, false, no, or off have a boolean value 0; if the string representation is any of 1, true, yes, or on the boolean value is 1. Any of these string values may be abbreviated, and upper-case spellings are also acceptable.

Introduction
For the element ContentProtection
the @schemeIdUri
attribute is used to
identify a content protection scheme (for details see ISO/IEC 23009-1
[1], section <IP_ADDRESS>). This attribute provide
sufficient information, possibly in conjunction with the @value
and/or extension
attributes and elements, such as the DRM system(s), encryption algorithm(s),
and key distribution scheme(s) employed, to enable a client to determine whether
it can possibly play the protected content.
For Representations based on ISO/IEC 14496-12 [6]
a content protection scheme using the Protection System Specific Header Box
defined in ISO/IEC 23001-7 may be identified in the ContentProtection element.
In this case a self-assigned UUID URN as defined in RFC 4122
[8] indicating the UUID specified in the
SystemId field of the Protection System Specific Header Box is used. The usage
of the @value
field is defined by the protection system. However, according to
DASH-AVC/264 [3], it is recommended that the @value
field is the name of the company system and client version. If used, this can help
the client to determine if the current DRM client can play the content. If used
differently, the providers of the DRM system are encouraged to document the
alternative usage of the @value
field.
The following sections collect the Generic Identifiers as well as Protection System Specific ones.
Generic Identifiers
| Identifier | Reference | Section | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
urn:mpeg:dash:mp4protection:2011 |
ISO/IEC 23009-1 | section <IP_ADDRESS> | protection schemes identified by a the Scheme Type within the Scheme Type Box of the Protection Scheme Information Box of ISO/IEC14496-12. In this scheme, the value of the @value attribute is the 4CC contained in the Scheme Type Box, suitably escaped according to RFC 2141 and may include the version number. The 4CC and the version number, if present, is separated by a :. The version number is encoded as up to 8 hexadecimal digits, where the leading 0s may be omitted. |
urn:mpeg:dash:13818:1:CA_descriptor:2011 |
ISO/IEC 23009-1 | section <IP_ADDRESS> | Conditional Access System used for ISO/IEC 13818-1 MPEG-2 Transport Stream. In this scheme, the value of the @value attribute is the 4-digit lower-case hexadecimal Representation of the 16-bit CA_system_ID from the CA_descriptor as defined in ISO/IEC 13818-1. |
Protection System-Specific Identifiers
The Identifier in the below table only provides the selected UUID code.
For referencing the DRM system in the ContentProtection
descriptor, the
URI urn:uuid:<uuid>
may be used where <uuid>
is to be replaced with the
UUID in the first column below.
Note: DASH-IF does not define any “approved” content protection schemes. The table below only represents the submitted schemes by 3rd parties to DASH-IF. None are required or recommended by DASH-AVC/264 Implementation Guidelines.

#mode ⇒ String
(rw)
Whether query suggestions are currently in ENABLED
mode or
LEARN_ONLY
mode.
By default, Amazon Kendra enables query suggestions.LEARN_ONLY
turns off query suggestions for your users. You can change the mode
using the UpdateQuerySuggestionsConfig API.

#status ⇒ String
(rw)
Whether the status of query suggestions settings is currently
ACTIVE
or UPDATING
.
Active means the current settings apply and Updating means your changed settings are in the process of applying.
# File 'gems/aws-sdk-kendra/lib/aws-sdk-kendra/types.rb', line 4012
class DescribeQuerySuggestionsConfigResponse < Struct.new( :mode, :status, :query_log_look_back_window_in_days, :include_queries_without_user_information, :, :minimum_query_count, :last_suggestions_build_time, :last_clear_time, :total_suggestions_count, :attribute_suggestions_config) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end
#total_suggestions_count ⇒ Integer
(rw)
The current total count of query suggestions for an index.
This count can change when you update your query suggestions
settings, if you filter out certain queries from suggestions using a
block list, and as the query log accumulates more queries for Amazon
::Aws::Kendra
to learn from.
If the count is much lower than you expected, it could be because Amazon Kendra needs more queries in the query history to learn from or your current query suggestions settings are too strict.

We added Google Analytis and Hotjar to the landing page
We promoted our landing page on various WhatsApp groups and to people we know.
We also tried promoting on varius subreddits, but the posts were removed by their moderation team because it was self-promotion.
We sent messages to approximately 100 people in total on Wapp. We got back around 20 site visits.
Some of the people we contacted live abroad and this shows up in the analytics.
Only 7 users engaged with the "Plan now" button. We also got a user which clicked on the CTA but did not want to sign up for the newsletter.
Most of the users were on mobile.
A HeatJar heatmap shows that some people click on the CTA only after scrolling down and reading through the entire landing page. We noticed this in some of the recordings as well.
HeatJar RecordingOverall we are on the right track with the idea, we are not quite there yet as we are still assesing whether the idea should be shifted towards big companies and their holidays. We still think it would be an enjoyable experience on smaller and knitted groups, based on the feedback received.
In terms of lead generation, promoting on WhatsApp groups can work somewhat well, but the results could end up being biased. For example, some of our closer friends were very curious about the site and spent more time than expected on it.
It would be a good idea to also try promoting the landing page on some Facebook groups and to maybe use ads to generate some user traffic. However, we felt we weren't quite at that stage yet, we still have a few fix-ups to be made and we want to make a good impression on the possible customers.
