How can I add a local file to a kodi addon?
In the following example the internet file (url='http://...') works. But the local file (url='file://...') do not.
import xbmc
import xbmcgui
import xbmcplugin
import xbmcaddon
import xbmcvfs
import sys
addon_handle = int(sys.argv[1])
xbmcplugin.setContent(addon_handle, 'songs')
#this works
xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=addon_handle, url='http://www.noiseaddicts.com/samples_1w72b820/2537.mp3', listitem=xbmcgui.ListItem('internet_file'))
#this do not work
xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=addon_handle, url='file://media/usb0/music/bn/local_file.mp3', listitem=xbmcgui.ListItem('local_file'))
xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(addon_handle)
After searching for a while I found Kodi's special:// protocol: http://kodi.wiki/view/Special_protocol which I quote here:
The "Special Protocol" is Kodi's solution to platform dependent
directories. Common directory names are assigned a special://[name]
path which is passed around inside Kodi and then translated to the
platform specific path before the operating system sees it. This helps
keep most of the platform mess centralized in the code.
Using the special:// protocol following code will do it:
xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=addon_handle,
url='special://home/bn/local_file.mp3',
listitem=xbmcgui.ListItem('local_file'))
This should be an absolute path in your filesystem without any prefixes, for example '/foo/bar/spam.mp4' (*nix) or 'c:\\foo\\bar\\spam.mp4' (Win). I think, network filesystems will work too and for them you do need prefixes like smb:// or nfs://`, but not for local files.

I have a Trinket M0 board and am learning how to communicate to an MCP23008 IC. I went to this site https://learn.adafruit.com/using-mcp23008-mcp23017-with-circuitpython/python-circuitpython and entered the code shown below.
I am using Mu to write code and communicate with the Trinket M0 board.
It keeps giving me this error [ImportError: no module named 'adafruit_mcp230xx'] and the I2C communication does not work.
The 'Check' gives me a green thumbs up
The page says to load the following files but I can not find them using the library link provided.
When I search the library for the file it says 'File not found'
From the website:
For non-express boards like the Trinket M0 or Gemma M0, you'll need to manually install the necessary libraries from the bundle:
adafruit_mcp230xx.mpy
adafruit_bus_device
These are the lib files I have on the Trinket M0:
i2c_device.mpy
mcp230xx.mpy
mcp23008.mpy
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
This is the code on the Trinket M0 that I am trying to run:
import board
import busio
from digitalio import Direction
from adafruit_mcp230xx.mcp23008 import MCP23008
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
mcp = MCP23008(i2c)
mcp = MCP23008(i2c, address=0x20)
pin0 = mcp.get_pin(0)
pin0.direction = Direction.OUTPUT
pin0.value = True # GPIO0 / GPIOA0 to high logic level
pin0.value = False # GPIO0 / GPIOA0 to low logic level
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
I realize that my most likely problem is that I don't have the correct library files.
I have scoured the internet but can not find the files that are listed in the example.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
So, I figured out my mistake. I misunderstood the instructions. I ended up installing the entire folder (adafruit_bus_device and the folder adafruit_mcp230xx) and placed it into the 'lib' folder. Seems obvious now, but for some reason I was trying to enter specific files from each folder. Obviously, I was missing one of the files from the folder. I will figure out which ones are needed and which ones are not needed.
I have a PyQt5 (5.15.6) application running in Python 3 and want to reference my qss file as such
qss_file = QtCore.QFile("my_app_qss.qss")
However, I have multiple apps that use the same qss file so depending on where I run the app from I need an absolute import rather than a relative import. I would also like to compile any of those apps with pyinstaller and deploy them to another machine. How can I reference this qss file?
example folder structure
main
| - resources/my_app_qss.qss
| - apps/
|--------project1/app1.py
| -------project2/
|-----------------subfolder/app2.py
The issue is that I did not understand that
qss_file = QtCore.QFile("my_app_qss.qss")
Is not a path to a file. It is referencing a file that gets built by pyrcc4 from the .qrc source
I am trying to import some of my personal modules into my IPython Clusters. I am using Anacondas on Windows Vista 64 bit
from IPython.parallel import Client
rc = Client()
dview = rc[:]
with dview.sync_imports():
import lib.rf
It is giving me this error:
No module named 'lib.rf'
I can import the module in the rest of my IPython notebook, as I have this .bat file to start ipython notebook:
cd C:\Users\Jon\workspace\bf
set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\Users\Jon\workspace\bf
C:\Anaconda\envs\p33\scripts\ipython notebook
I am using this similar code to start my ip clusters:
cd C:\Users\Jon\workspace\bf
set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\Users\Jon\workspace\bf
C:\Anaconda\envs\p33\Scripts\ipcluster start --n=7
Why is this not working?
More info:
If I print out sys.path, I get a list that contains C:\Users\Jon\workspace\bf
If I print out the paths of my clusters, I get the same list:
%px sys.path

Looks like the ipcluster and notebook are looking at lib in different places. I have tried renaming lib to mylib. It has not helped.
It seems that with dview.sync_imports() is being run someplace other than your IPython Notebook environment and is therefore relying a different PYTHONPATH. It is definitely not being run on one of the cluster engines and so wouldn't expect it to leverage your cluster settings of PYTHONPATH.
I'm thinking you'll need to have that directory in your PYTHONPATH (not your PATH) for the calling python environment because that is the location from which you are importing the modules.
The impact of the bit you have about setting the PYTHONPATH in the DOS shell from which you invoke ipclusters isn't clear to me. I can see that one might expect this to let the engines know about your directory, but I'm wondering if that PYTHONPATH gets initilized to the environment from which you call IPython.parallel.Client.
While trying to use the sphinx matlab domain I can't get the MWE to work, provided on the extensions pypi site
There is always this Can't import module error. I'd guess, that the extension kind of generates pseudo modules from the m-code, but up to know I actually could not figure out, how this mechanism works.
The dir structure looks like this
root
|--test_data
| |--MyHandleClass.m
|
|--doc
|--------conf.py
|--------Makefile
|--------index.rst
The files MyHandleClass.m and index.rst contain the example code given on the package site and the conf.py starts like this
import sys, os
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('.'))
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('./test_data'))
# -- General configuration -----------------------------------------------------
# Add any Sphinx extension module names here, as strings. They can be extensions
# coming with Sphinx (named 'sphinx.ext.*') or your custom ones.

"sphinx.ext.autosummary",
"sphinx.ext.autodoc"]
autodoc_default_flags = ['members','show-inheritance','undoc-members']
autoclass_content = 'both'
mathjax_path = 'http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=default'
# The suffix of source filenames.
source_suffix = '.rst'
# The encoding of source files.
#source_encoding = 'utf-8'

WARNING: autodoc: failed to import module u'test_data'; the following exception was raised:

After varying this and that maybe somebody out there has a clue?
Thanks for trying the matlabdomain sphinxcontrib extension. In order to use Sphinx to document MATLAB m-files, you need to add matlab_src_dir in conf.py as described in the Configuration section of the documenation. This is because the Python interpreter can't import a MATLAB m-file. Therefore you should not add your MATLAB root to the Python sys.path, or you will get the error you received. Instead set matlab_src_dir to the path containing the folder of your MATLAB project which you want to document.
Given your file structure, in order to document test_data use a conf.py with the following:
import os
# NOTE: don't add MATLAB m-files to `sys.path`
#sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('.'))
# instead add them to `matlab_src_dir
matlab_src_dir = os.path.abspath('..') # MATLAB
Hope that does it! Please feel free to ask any more questions. I'm happy to help!
While trying to compile a proto file named UserOptions.proto which has an import named Account.proto using the below command
protoc --proto_path=/home/project_new1/account --java_out=/home/project_new1/source /home/project_new1/settings/Useroptions.proto
I get the following error :
/home/project_new1/settings/UserOptions.proto: File does not reside within any path specified using --proto_path (or -I). You must specify a --proto_path which encompasses this file.
PS: UserOptions.proto present in the directory /home/project_new1/settings
imports Account.proto present in the directory
/home/project_new1/account
Proto descriptor files:
UserOptions.proto
package settings;
import "Account.proto";
option java_outer_classname = "UserOptionsVOProto";
Account.proto
package account;
option java_outer_classname = "AccountVOProto";
message Object
{
optional string userId = 1;
optional string service = 2;
}
As the error message states, the file you pass on the command line needs to be in one of the --proto_paths. In your case, you have only specified one --proto_path of:
/home/project_new1/
But the file you're passing is:
/home/project_new1/settings/UserOptions.proto
Notice that the file is not in the account subdirectory; it's in settings instead.
You have two options:
(Not recommended) Pass a second --proto_path argument to add .../settings to the path.
(Recommended) Use the root of your source tree as the proto path. E.g.:
protoc --proto_path=/home/project_new1/ --java_out=/home/project_new1 /home/project_new1/settings/UserOptions.proto
In this case, to import Account.proto, you'll need to write:
import "account/Account.proto";
For those of us who want this really spelled out, here is an example where I have installed the protoc beta for gRPC using NuGet Packages Google.Protobuf, Grpc.Core and Grpc.Tools. My solution packages are one level above my Grpc directory (i.e. at BruTrader\packages). My .proto files are at BruTrader\Grpc\protos.
1. My .proto file:
syntax = "proto3";
import "timestamp.proto";
import "enums.proto";
package BruTrader.Grpc;
message DividendMessage {
double amount = 1;
google.protobuf.Timestamp dateUnix = 2;
}
2. my GenerateProto.bat file:
..\packages\Google.Protobuf.3.0.0-beta2\tools\protoc.exe -I..\Grpc\protos -I..\packages\Google.Protobuf.3.0.0-beta2\tools\google\protobuf --csharp_out=..\Grpc\Generated --grpc_out=..\Grpc\Generated --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=..\packages\Grpc.Tools.0.13.0\tools\grpc_csharp_plugin.exe %1
3. my BuildProtos.bat
call GenerateProto ..\Grpc\protos\masterinstrument.proto
call GenerateProto .\protos\instrument.proto
etc.
4. BuildProtos.bat is executed as a Pre-build event on my Grpc project like this:
CD $(ProjectDir)
CALL "$(ProjectDir)BuildProtos.bat"
For my environment, Windows 10 Pro operating system and C++ programming languaje, I used the protoc-3.12.2-win64.zip that you can downloat it from here. You should open a Windows PowerShell inside the protoc-3.12.2-win64\bin path and then you must execute one of the next commands:
.\protoc.exe -I=C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\SRC --cpp_out=C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\DST C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\SRC\addressbook.proto
Or
.\protoc.exe --proto_path=C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\SRC --cpp_out=C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\DST C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\SRC\addressbook.proto
Note:
1- My source folder is in: C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\SRC
2- My destination folder is in: C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\DST
3- My .proto file is in: C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\SRC\addressbook.proto
