FreeCAD CMD color lost after import - freecad

Whenenver I try to import a model via FreeCADCmd Script the objects loose all color information.
This can be checked within the GUI by running macros
import FreeCAD
import ImportGui
doc = FreeCAD.newDocument()
FreeCAD.setActiveDocument(doc.Name)
ImportGui.insert("file1.stp", doc.Name)
will preserve the colors -- but can not be run on commandline, because of ImportGui.
import FreeCAD
import Import
doc = FreeCAD.newDocument()
FreeCAD.setActiveDocument(doc.Name)
Import.insert("file1.stp", doc.Name)
will import the model without any color information.
Is there any way to import a step file into FreeCADCmd (commandline -- so no GUI) without the color information being dropped?
Or does anyone know a way to run FreeCAD (GUI Version) without running a xserver?

How do you embed an ipython console with exec_lines?

I'm trying to embed an ipython console into my command line application.
I have the following:
import IPython
from traitlets.config import Config
c = Config()
c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines = [
'import matplotlib.pyplot as plt',
'%matplotlib',
]
return IPython.start_ipython(config=c, user_ns=globals())
However, it seems to completely ignore the "exec_lines" part since plt is not available.
See: Can you specify a command to run after you embed into IPython?
IPython.start_ipython(config=c, user_ns=locals())

Unable to call Notebook when using scala code in Databricks

I am into a situation where I am able to successfully run the below snippet in azure Databricks from a separate CMD.
%run ./HSCModule
But running into issues when including that piece of code with other scala code which is importing below packages and getting following error.
import java.io.{File, FileInputStream}
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
import java.util{Calendar, Properties}
import org.apache.spark.SparkException
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession
import scala.collection.JavaConverters._
import scala.util._
ERROR = :168: error: ';' expected but '.' found. %run
./HSCModule
FYI - I have also used dbutils.notebook.run and still facing same issues.
You can't mix the magic commands, like, %run, %pip, etc. with the Scala/Python code in the same cell. Documentation says:
%run must be in a cell by itself, because it runs the entire notebook inline.
So you need to put this magic command into a separate cell.

How to import .py in google Colaboratory?

I want to simplify code. so i make a utils.py , but Google Colaboratory directory is "/content" I read other questions. but this is not my solution
In Google's Colab notebook, How do I call a function from a Python file?
%%writefile example.py
def f():
print 'This is a function defined in a Python source file.'
# Bring the file into the local Python environment.
execfile('example.py')
f()
This is a function defined in a Python source file.
It look likes just using def().
using this, i always write the code in cell.
but i want to this code
import example.py
example.f()
A sample maybe you want:
!wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tensorflow/models/master/samples/core/get_started/iris_data.py -P local_modules -nc
import sys
sys.path.append('local_modules')
import iris_data
iris_data.load_data()
I have also had this problem recently.
I addressed the issue by the following steps, though it's not a perfect solution.
src = list(files.upload().values())[0]
open('util.py','wb').write(src)
import util
This code should work with Python 3:
from google.colab import drive
import importlib.util
# Mount your drive. It will be at this path: "/content/gdrive/My Drive/"
drive.mount('/content/gdrive')
# Load your module
spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location("YOUR_MODULE_NAME", "/content/gdrive/My Drive/utils.py")
your_module_name = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
spec.loader.exec_module(your_module_name)
import importlib.util
import sys
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/gdrive')
# To add a directory with your code into a list of directories
# which will be searched for packages
sys.path.append('/content/gdrive/My Drive/Colab Notebooks')
import example.py
This works for me.
Use this if you are out of content folder! hope this help!
import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'/content/my_project')
from example import*
STEP 1. I have just created a folder 'common_module' like shown in the image :
STEP 2 called the required Class from my "colab" code cell,
sys.path.append('/content/common_module/')
from DataPreProcessHelper import DataPreProcessHelper as DPPHelper
My class file 'DataPreProcessHelper.py' looks like this
Add path of 'sample.py' file to system paths as:
import sys
sys.path.append('drive/codes/')
import sample

Why can't I import config into my Ember helper without typing the name?

I have a helper helpers/asset.js that needs to import the config.
This works:
import ENV from 'sixtysevenjourney/config/environment';
This doesn't
import ENV from '../../config/environment';
In the latter case it just says it can't import config/environment from helpers/assets, why can't I do a relative import?
Your import will work if you do this:
import ENV from '../config/environment';
Notice that your code is under app/, but when you import using
import ENV from 'sixtysevenjourney/config/environment';
You don't put the app part
import ENV from 'sixtysevenjourney/**app**/config/environment';
I don't know how things work internally for this to work. Hope that helps

IPython Notebook: Open/select file with GUI (Qt Dialog)

When you perform the same analysis in a notebook on different data files, may be handy to graphically select a data file.
In my python scripts I usually implement a QT dialog that returns the file-name of the selected file:
from PySide import QtCore, QtGui
def gui_fname(dir=None):
"""Select a file via a dialog and return the file name.
"""
if dir is None: dir ='./'
fname = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(None, "Select data file...",
dir, filter="All files (*);; SM Files (*.sm)")
return fname[0]
However, running this function from an notebook
full_fname = gui_fname()
causes the kernel to die (and restart):
Interestingly, puttying this 3 command in 3 separate cells works
%matplotlib qt
full_fname = gui_fname()
%matplotlib inline
but when I put those commands in one single cell the kernel dies again.
This prevents to create a function like gui_fname_ipynb() that transparently allows selecting a file with a GUI.
For convenience, I created a notebook illustrating the problem:
Open/select file with GUI (Qt Dialog)
Any suggestion on how to execute a dialog for file selection from within an IPython Notebook?
Using Anaconda 5.0.0 on windows (Python 3.6.2, IPython 6.1.0), the following two options are both working for me.
OPTION 1: Entirely in a Jupyter notebook:
CELL 1:
%gui qt
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QFileDialog
def gui_fname(dir=None):
"""Select a file via a dialog and return the file name."""
if dir is None: dir ='./'
fname = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(None, "Select data file...",
dir, filter="All files (*);; SM Files (*.sm)")
return fname[0]
CELL 2:
gui_fname()
This is working for me but it seems a bit...fragile. If I combine these two things into the same cell, it crashes. Or if I omit the %gui qt, it crashes. If I "restart kernel and run all cells", it doesn't work. So I kinda like this other option...
MORE RELIABLE OPTION: Separate script that opens dialog box in a new process
(Based on mkrog code here.)
PUT THE FOLLOWING IN A SEPARATE PYTHON SCRIPT CALLED blah.py:
from sys import executable, argv
from subprocess import check_output
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QFileDialog, QApplication
def gui_fname(directory='./'):
"""Open a file dialog, starting in the given directory, and return
the chosen filename"""
# run this exact file in a separate process, and grab the result
file = check_output([executable, __file__, directory])
return file.strip()
if __name__ == "__main__":
directory = argv[1]
app = QApplication([directory])
fname = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(None, "Select a file...",
directory, filter="All files (*)")
print(fname[0])
...AND IN YOUR JUPYTER NOTEBOOK
import blah
blah.gui_fname()
I have a universal code where it does its job without any problem. Here is my sugestion:
try:
from tkinter import Tk
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilenames
except:
from tkinter import Tk
from tkinter import filedialog
Tk().withdraw() # we don't want a full GUI, so keep the root window from appearing
filenames = filedialog.askopenfilenames() # show an "Open" dialog box and return the path to the selected file
print (filenames)
hope it can be useful
This behaviour was a bug in IPython:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/4997
that was fixed here:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/5077
The function to open a gui dialog should work on current master and on the oncoming 2.0 release.
To date, the last 1.x version (1.2.1) does not include a backport of the fix.
EDIT: The example code still crashes IPython 2.x, see this issue.
