Python Twisted protocol unregistering?
906,496
<p>I've came up with problem regarding unregistering protocols from reactor in twisted while application is running. </p> <p>I use hardware modems connected to PC by USB and that's why this scenario is so important for my solution. Has anyone an idea how to do it?</p> <p>Greets, Chris</p>

<p>When you first call <code>reactor.listen</code> on your protocol factory, it returns an object that implements <code>IListeningPort</code>, see <a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/8.2.0/api/twisted.internet.interfaces.IListeningPort.html">http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/8.2.0/api/twisted.internet.interfac...

show lyrics on ubuntu

<p>I'm writing a little script for Ubuntu. My intention is to call rhythmbox lyrics plug-in with a global short-cut (configuring gnome) . I can call it from rhythmbox python console, but I don't know how to import rhythmbox built-in modules (eg. rhythmdb).<br /> Any ideas?</p>

<p>You can't import rhythmbox "built-in" modules from a standard python console. </p> <p>As far as I know they aren't real modules, they are just objects from the rhythmbox process exposed to plugins. So you can access them only if you are running your script from the rhythmbox process.</p>

<p>In addition to the other fine answers here, you should be aware that most FTP clients have a <code>chmod</code> command to allow you to set permissions on files at the server. You may not need this if permissions come across properly, but there's a good chance they do not.</p>

<p>You could do this in a generic view wrapper by dynamically constructing a form class and passing it to the generic view, but that cure is probably worse than the disease.

<p>You can always set your fields sizes in a custom stylesheet and tell Django to use that for your ModelAdmin class:</p> <pre><code>class MyModelAdmin(ModelAdmin): class Media: css = {"all": ("my_stylesheet.css",)} </code></pre>
