 |
|
Its been awhile since I've picked up my Python, so that makes this stumbling block that much more frustrating. 
I have to rebuild manifests for multiple ebuilds and I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to dust off my Python skills.
Here are the contents of testdigest. I created this file using vi and hand typing the single line.
| Code: | | /usr/portage/app-emacs/emacs-jabber/emacs-jabber-0.8.0.ebuild |
And here is my script, oh yeah, Python 3.2.3
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess
for line in open('/home/euser/Desktop/testdigest'):
subprocess.call(['ebuild',line,'manifest'])
quit
|
The goal here is to have a file with all the .ebullds that require a new manifest made. Read them from the file using open() and call ebuild with the line from the file and then 'manifest' appended to the end of the line. Here is what I get when I run it.
| Code: | euser@gentoo-VM ~/Desktop $ sudo ./test
Password:
euser@gentoo-VM ~/Desktop $ '/usr/portage/app-emacs/emacs-jabber/emacs-jabber-0.8.0.ebuild
' does not end with '.ebuild'. |
Of course it does end with ebuild. I've searched around for any issues calling ebuild from python, but can seem to find anything. My theory is that Python is adding a newline character to the end of the line it reads in and this is hosing up ebuild. I have also tried:
| Code: | | subprocess.Popen(['ebuild',line,"manifest"],universal_newlines=False) |
to no avail. Any thoughts or ideas as to why it might be failing? |

Thnaks for the response 'eyoung100'. I looked over 7.2, as you suggested. I think you were referring to the readline() method here? As I understand it, the example I gave uses the fastest most efficient iterator in Python. I may be mistaken, but my script is basically the same as the 4th example in 7.2.1.
I went ahead and added a few more lines to my input file. It now reads like this:
| Code: | /usr/portage/app-emacs/emacs-jabber/emacs-jabber-0.8.0.ebuild
/usr/portage/app-doc/pms/pms-5.ebuild
/usr/portage/net-dns/mydns/mydns-1.2.8.31.ebuild
|
When I replace ebuild in my script with echo I get this:
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess
for line in open('/home/euser/Desktop/testdigest'):
subprocess.call(['echo',line])
quit
|
| Code: | euser@gentoo-VM ~/Desktop $ ./test
/usr/portage/app-emacs/emacs-jabber/emacs-jabber-0.8.0.ebuild
/usr/portage/app-doc/pms/pms-5.ebuild
/usr/portage/net-dns/mydns/mydns-1.2.8.31.ebuild
|
So I am pretty sure the iteration piece is working right. The real problem is just getting ebuild to like my input. |

Try this | Code: |
#!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess
with open('/home/euser/Desktop/testdigest') as f:
lines = f.read():
for line in lines.split("\n"):
if line and not line.startswith("#"):
subprocess.call(['ebuild',line,'manifest'])
quit |

| Thanks for the help guys. Brian, I think 'split' was the piece I was missing. I cant believe I forgot about that. |
