How do i run a python programm....

[SarahS93]

I have some question about python and how to use Programms they are writen in Python.

I have installed tor and i will use a python script for showing the Tor-Ciruit by the Tor-CLI.

python <tab><tab> than i see:

Code: Select all

python             python3            python3.11         python3.11-config  python3.12         python3.12-config  python3.13         python3.13-config  python3-config     python-config      python-exec2c

I can connect to the Tor-Cli

Code: Select all

echo -e 'AUTHENTICATE \r\nGETINFO entry-guards  \r\nQUIT' | nc localhost 9051

I see some infos about the tor entry-guards.


I tried
git clone https://git.torproject.org/stem.git
cd stem/
python setup.py install
for installing stem.
But what have i than to do?

I will use this script:
https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/e ... cuits.html
to get infos about the Tor-Ciruit by the Tor-Cli
What have i to do for that?!

Well, the example you linked looks pretty straight-forward:
python list_circuits.py

So, what's the problem?

[SarahS93]

after
python setup.py install
what have i to do?
i dont understand how to use the script and how to use stem.

I don't understand what you're trying to do and what you're stuck on.
I get that you're doing something with tor, but you're asking about running python programs (which makes the tor part look irrelevant), even though you linked an example of an invocation (and output) of a python program which does exactly what you declared as your intent in the second sentence of your first post.

You literally solved your stated problem in the opening post, just to follow it up with "what do I do now?"
Doesn't make any sense to me.

SarahS93,

stem is a library. You do not use it directly.
Once it's installed, Python scrips can use it's content.

[SarahS93]

i do not know how to use the script from
https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/e ... cuits.html

i know i have to store the code beginning from
"from stem import CircStatus
....
print(" %s- %s (%s, %s)" % (div, fingerprint, nickname, address))
"
in a file called "list_circuits.py".
but at what place have i to store this file?


for installing stem is all i have to do:
"git clone https://git.torproject.org/stem.git
cd stem/
python setup.py install"
nothing more?

Anywhere you want, you don't even have to name it the same.

for installing stem is all i have to do:
"git clone https://git.torproject.org/stem.git
cd stem/
python setup.py install"
nothing more?

no, for python things that don't have a Gentoo package you can either create one, or more simply just create a venv and install the package into it ( this gets it from pypi and installs all its dependencies) .

Code: Select all

python -m venv ~/stem
source ~/stem/bin/activate
pip install stem
python (path to example script)

to run your script then you'd need to either activate the venv by sourcing the activation script before running python, or run it using the python in the venv: ~/stem/bin/python (path to script)

Now it works!

Thanks guys!
