kandi X-RAY | PyFilter Summary

PyFilter is a Python library typically used in Security, Firewall applications. PyFilter has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However PyFilter build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

PyFilter aims to filter out all of the requests that are not legitimate to your server, and blocks them if too many are sent. It works by reading log files and checking if a failed request has came from the same IP address within a user configurable amount of time and adding rules to the firewall if too many attempts have been captured. By default PyFilter is configured to read from /var/log/auth.log for incoming SSH requests, however there are options for Apache, Nginx and MySQL too. PyFilter uses a database to store all the banned ip addresses to ensure ips arent added more than once. PyFilter currently supports sqlite and redis, by default it is setup to use sqlite so no installation of a redis server is needed. However redis has support for cross server ban syncing (more info below).

python-daemon + argparse?

Why doesn't argparse let me add optional arguments in any order?

QUESTION

python-daemon + argparse?

Asked 2017-Nov-30 at 15:50

I made a script that takes a few arguments to run. Originally it could be run automatically with the argument 'auto', but I'm trying to daemonize it so it will run the run the script with the specified arguments as a daemon. The problem is that python-daemon and argparse don't seem to get along when it comes to deciding who parses what.

Argparse takes arguments from sys.argv per default (see here). It is not surprising that the behaviour you see here is happening, as you just call the parse_args function with the default arguments. You can just pass whatever you want to parse to it, instead of sys.argv.

See this question for an example.

So consume whatever you need for python-deamon and then parse the remaining args with argparse.

QUESTION

Why doesn't argparse let me add optional arguments in any order?

Asked 2017-Nov-21 at 02:16

In the code below, I cannot add the -v and -p arguments after the action (update, blacklist, auto), presumably due to the subparser. How can I make it so that I can add these optional arguments in any order?
