Control Flow Loops in Python

For Loop to reassign items in a list:

>>> s = [1,2,3]
​>>> for n in range(len(s)):
     s[n] = s[n]*2
>>> s
[2, 4, 6]

Call Python Within Shell Script

Shell scripts are easier to write but they lack the features provided by a programming language like python. But instead python can be used within shell scripts. Here are two examples.

​1. To get the file name ‘File’ from the full path ‘Path’:
File=`python -c "print '$Path'.split('/')[-1]"`

2. To get the directory ‘Dir’ from the full path ‘Path’ of file ‘File’:
Dir=`python -c "print '$Path'.rstrip(str('$File'))"`

Python Unicode

#In Python 2.X
#To convert Unicode to character:
​>>> for x in range(0x6000,0x6020,1):
          print unichr(x),  
怀 态 怂 怃 怄 怅 怆 怇 怈 怉 怊 怋 怌 怍 怎 怏 怐 怑 怒 怓 怔 怕 怖 怗 怘 怙 怚 怛 怜 思 怞 怟

​#In Python 3.X:
#To convert Unicode to character:
>>> for x in range(0x6000,0x6020,1):
          print(chr(x),end=' ')
怀 态 怂 怃 怄 怅 怆 怇 怈 怉 怊 怋 怌 怍 怎 怏 怐 怑 怒 怓 怔 怕 怖 怗 怘 怙 怚 怛 怜 思 怞 怟

#To convert character to Unicode:
>>> hex(ord('怀'))
’0×6000′
>>> for n in ‘सत्यमेव जयते’:
          print(ord(n), end=',')
2360,2340,2381,2351,2350,2375,2357,32,2332,2351,2340,2375,

Python Regular Expressions

Python has a ‘re’ module to handle regular expressions. Here are some examples.
​>>> import re
#Example 1: To extract the contents within double quotes in a string
>>> s = 'customer name is "FirstName LastName"'
>>> re.findall('".*"',s)
​['"FirstName LastName"']               #The result is a list

​#Example 2: To extract the individual words from a combined word like ‘FirstName’
>>> s = 'FirstName'
>>> re.findall('[A-Z][a-z]+',s)
['First', 'Name']  #The result is a list.
>>> ''.join(re.findall('[A-Z][a-z]+',s))
'FirstName'      #To get the string from the list​

​#Example 3: To replace all numbers with a ‘.’ suffix’
>>> s = '1 one 11 eleven'
>>> re.sub("(\d)( )","\\1.\\2",s)
​'1. one 11. eleven'

Github

GITHUB:

 To init github type the command followed by repository name (say TCP):
    git init TCP.git

 Then cd to this git directory
   cd TCP.git

 Then add the remote repository:
   git remote add origin https://github.com/user-name/TCP.git

 To get the files from the TCP.git repository:
   git pull origin master

 After Changing files, commit them:
   git add .
   git commit -a
   This will open a nano editor window.
   Remove comment in modified file lines and save the file by pressing escape and "Y".

 To update the repository:
   git push origin master
   This will ask for username and password.

 To check status:
   git status

SSH with no password

SSH with no password:
​Here is a two step process to use SSH/SCP and access remote machines without password.

1. Generate a public/private rsa key pair in the local machine (client):
Command:  ”ssh-keygen“
The public key will be saved in a file at ~/.ssh/id_rsa

2. Copy the id to the remote machine (server):
Command: “ssh-copy-id  UserName@ServerAddress“

Thats all need to do. Now you can try “ssh UserName@ServerAddress” and it should login without asking password. Same with scp command.
