In Python things like this is generally so trivial that it's hard to even provide examples. Hooks are generally callbacks, yes. Callbacks in python are simply done by passing functions around and calling them.

In the world of penetration testing with Python, it looks like one has to generally hook into an API that's OS specific. This makes sense to me because we're dealing with different architectures and kernels between OSX, Linux, Windows. But I'm wondering if this isn't the case?

There is no way to achieve this from your tests. The report generator simply won't display the output unless there are errors. You will have to get the sources for Jenkins itself (the JUnit runner is built into it) and patch the reporter or write your own plugin.

Easy. Don't restart Apache, don't set maximum-requests and don't change the code in the WSGI script file. Are you saying that you are seeing restarts even when you leave Apache completely untouched? And yes it sounds like you should be re-architecting your system. A web process that takes that long to startup is crazy.

apart from the Https call ( which you should be making to transfer info to django ), you can go with AES encryption ( use Pycrypto/ any other lib). It takes a secret key to encrypt your message.

Is there a way to set up CherryPy to use SSL when running behind Apache2 without configuring Apache2 to do SSL for CherryPy? I have found multiple tutorials about using SSL with CherryPy and configuring Apache2 to do the SSL work for CherryPy, but I have not been able to find a tutorial that deals with using SSL with C...

to expound a bit on gcbrizan's answer, you cannot because the first step required to understand an https request is to first decrypt the connection. SSL/TLS work in two modes; tunneling and STARTTLS; in the latter, a normal connection is started, and at some point, once the two parties have established whatever they ...

Similar to your xclock solution, I like to run xdpyinfo and see if it returns an error.

I'm writing a linux application which uses PyQt4 for GUI and which will only be used during remote sessions (ssh -XY / vnc). So sometimes it may occur that a user will forget to run ssh with X forwarding parameters or X forwarding will be unavailable for some reason. In this case the application crashes badly (unfortun...

Check to see that the $DISPLAY environment variable is set - if they didn't use ssh -X, it will be empty (instead of containing something like localhost:10).

Those files aren't important for running MySQLdb, but they should be included, and I'll fix this for the next release if possible. (Fixed in the 1.2.4 betas)

Don't expect what you'd get from a classical programming language IDE from something having to do with Python. It can't be done due to the dynamic nature of the language and the fact that in order to figure out details such as autocomplete, parameter info or members, an IDE would have, at some point, to run the code - ...

You want the equivalent of a "modal" window, but this is not (directly) possible in a multiuser, multitasking environment. The next best thing is to prevent the user from accessing the system. For example, if you create an invisible window as large as the display, that will intercept any mouse events, and whatever is "...

I have written a simple python script that runs as soon as a certain user on my linux system logs in. It ask's for a password... however the problem is they just exit out of the terminal or minimize it and continue using the computer. So basically it is a password authentication script.

There will always be a way for the user to get past your script. Let's assume for a moment that you actually manage to block the X-server, without blocking input to your program (so the user can still enter the password). The user could just alt-f1 out of the X-server to a console and kill "your weird app". If you mana...

Sure you can communicate between them, just read/write from a file or pair of files (one for Python to write to and the bash script to read from, and the other for the visa-versa situation).

I am running some shell test scripts from a python script under Windows. The shell scripts are testing the functionality of various modules. The problem that I faced is that some scripts can hang. For this I added a timeout for each script. This timeout has a default value. But this timeout value can be changed by the ...

The SNMP is a standard monitoring (and configuration) tool used widely in managing network devices (but not only). I don't understand your question fully - is it a problem that you cannot use SNMP because device does not support it (what does it support then?) To script anything you have to know what interface is expos...

No, it's not required, but your question is sort of like asking if you're required to use http to serve web pages. Technically you don't need it, but if you don't use it you're giving up interoperability with a lot of existing client software.

You can use Python's os.kill to kill a process by its pid, sending a mostly-arbitrary signal to it like SIGTERM or SIGINT. If it won't die, try SIGKILL. You can look up a process' pid using the pidof program, or if you use subprocess.Popen you can get the pid from the popen object without needing to spawn another subp...

So I'm running a python script: It starts a logging program in the background Does a bunch of stuff. Then stops the logging program. So I have two questions: 1) I understand to run a background program, I could call: os.system("test_log_prog &") but can I also do: os.system("test_echo_prog > logfile.log &")...
