python-scripts | Short and fun Python scripts

I'm trying to have Gimp batch process some files in OSX. The best example I've found is in this post: How to run python scripts using gimpfu from command line?. However for launching Gimp in batch mode, this, and every other example starts looks like this:

gimp -idf --batch-interpreter python-fu-eval -b "import sys;sys.path=['.']+sys.path;import batch;batch.run('./images')" -b "pdb.gimp_quit(1)

I can't just type "gimp" at my OSX command line though. I have to type "open /Applications/GIMP-2.10.app" and then including the various command line arguments throws up errors related to the "open" command.

I tried making an alias in my bash profile so that typing "gimp" launches "open /Applications/GIMP-2.10.app" but I'm still getting open errors.

Is there something else I need to do in OSX to just be able to type "gimp" and launch with command line args?

I am trying to use python in my android app by using chaquopy. I found tutorial for integrating chaquopy in android here . I update my gradle file for app and project level A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.chaquo.python'] No such property: dslScope for class: com.android.build.gradle.internal.api.DefaultAndroidSourceDirectorySet.

Here is my code for build.gradle app level

Python offers tracing through its trace module. There are also custom solutions like this. But these approaches capture most low-level executions, inside-and-out of most/every library you use. Other than deep-dive debugging this isn't very useful.

It would be nice to have something that captures only the highest-level functions laid out in your pipeline. For example, if I had:

I am using on a Linux machine a venv with python 3.7.9 and installed one of my packages with pip. The install script should be fine because had no problem under windows with anaconda.

I installed the package in dev mode as also in normal mode.

If I try to import my package with:

I am using the Pick package to create a curses-based interactive selection list in my IDLE terminal. This is the code I currenty have:

I have a Django app that users can submit video through to be processed via a python script running OpenCV on a separate EC2 instance. As this is a moderately expensive server to run (p2.Xlarge ~ $3.00/h) it is only spun up when the video is submitted and I want to ensure that it doesn't continue to run if there is some hiccup in the processing. If the program works fine the instance is properly shut down.

The problem is sometimes the python script gets hung up (I can't seem to replicate this on it's own which is a separate problem) when the script doesn't fully execute the server continues to run indefinitely. I have tried the solution provided here for self terminating an AWS EC2 instance. The solution works if the server is idle but doesn't seem to work if the server is busy trying to process the video.

Is there a better way to make sure the server doesn't run longer than x minutes and stop it, even if the server is in the middle of a process?

The code I'm currently using:

From a related discussion I got the following answer:

Also, something to double check in your code is if the main entry point is protected by the __name__=='__main__' check:

Summarize the problem:

The Python package basically opens PDFs in batch folder, reads the first page of each PDF, matches keywords, and dumps compatible PDFs in source folder for OCR scripts to kick in. The first script to take all PDFs are MainBankClass.py. I am trying to use a docker-compose file to include all these python scripts under the same network and volume so that each OCR script starts to scan bank statements when the pre-processing is done. This link is the closest so far to accomplish the goal but it seems that I missed some parts of it. The process to call different OCR scripts is achieved by runpy.run_path(path_name='ChaseOCR.py'), thus these scripts are in the same directory of __init__.py. Here is the filesystem structure:

So, according to this and this, to run two python scripts simultaneously I should run them from a batch file, separated by a &.

However, this does not seem to be working in a simple example.

I am currently trying this:
