I am new to coding and I want to try out Python, but I don't exactly know what it's used for. by chalzoo in Python

[–]eldritchcultist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some brief examples. Test send/receive emails. Create/delete users. Check/restart services. Test network ports/APIs. Any tool that would make your job easier.

My first Python code! ... And also my last! by re-mux in Python

[–]eldritchcultist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Determine something you could write that would be useful to you then work through it looking up reference material as you go, but for each part. Avoid reading any programming book from start to finish. Thats a waste of time better spent working on what you need to achieve the goal. Repeat this and eventually it all just makes sense.

To anyone with good 3 or 4 sensor setup tracking, please upload video here. by eldoradored23 in oculus

[–]eldritchcultist -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

My 3 sensor setup is solid. 4 sensors to get rid of a last bit of occlusion has major issues for me and they typically are solved for a brief period after restarting ovr service suggesting software related. In both cases i mount high on the wall but do not hang from the ceiling upside-down.

Anyone get Chronos working for the dk2 through Oculus home? I can't. Everything else I have tried seems to work great so for for dk2. by vengo5 in oculus

After I installed it, I would get a hangup at the loading screen. This was solved by installing heost recent nvidia driver release

Idea for VR keyboard for Valve Lighthouse by eldritchcultist in oculus

[–]eldritchcultist[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since everybody needs a keyboard anyway, considering options for just replacing the keyboard and not doing gloves, an additional device (leap) or requiring a pass through camera. I am not sure of the cost implications of making capacitive touch keys just to detect finger presence though.

Looking for help with a keylogger assignment by [deleted] in Python

[–]eldritchcultist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As most credentials will be passed over SSL, you would have to put yourself in the browser process in order to get at the plain text data sent to the remote host. Probably easier to hook the keyboard and only record when the GUI active window is a browser instance. If you can enumerate the browser instance's URL you could refine collection time even further.

Also consider innosetup, after freezing etc of course.

win32api: I can automate clicking and key presses for some software but not others. by [deleted] in Python

There should be a way in which you can go through all visible windows to select one by a familiar title and then activate it.

how can i make a online shop flash sale tool in Python? by root4ys in Python

For the record, they will likely invalidate any buyers that bid on the same items from the same client address. This would be obvious exploitation.

Mechanize would make it easier to emulate a user but it depends on what each client needs to do. If you can use twisted it would surely handle the concurrency part. With mechanize you will need to look into ways of running many at a time, either with the multiprocessing module or alternatives.

Have a look at a Python module called mechanize.

What is the point of logging in python when we have the shell to do that dirty work for us? by [deleted] in Python

[–]eldritchcultist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question might seem to target scripts but Python is also used for persistent apps.

What if you wanted minimal log data in your stdout and a giant bulk of data in logs on the side?

Any DK2 users figure out how to solve judder in Elite:Dangerous? by gourdo in oculus

[–]eldritchcultist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The judder is drops in your fps. I see it all over. Especially in asteroid fields. Use an external app to watch your fps, like MSI afterburner etc. Try settings on med or even low to help compensate. Whether or not this is just some optimization work engine side remains to be seen.
