Dropbox Python SDK 2.2.0 bug: commit_chunked_upload ?

Categories: Development Notes • Python; Tagged with: Dropbox • Python; @ August 2nd, 2015 23:04

Issue: dropbox keep ignoring the first folder when committing a chunked upload:

After chunked uploading completed, commit the file by:

response = self.dropbox_client.commit_chunked_upload('/backup/docs.zip', upload_id, False)
remote_path = response['path']

My understanding was remote_path in the response should be same as the full_path I passed: ‘/backup/docs.zip’, however, the remote_path is: ‘docs.zip’. form client.py /commit_chunked_upload:

The full path to which the chunks are uploaded, *including the file name*.
If the destination folder does not yet exist, it will be created.

full path with filename, and it’ll be used by:

url, params, headers = self.request("/commit_chunked_upload/%s" % full_path,
                                    params, content_server=True)

a http request to : /commit_chunked_upload//backup/docs.zip will be sent. however, the actual server url is:

https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/commit_chunked_upload/auto/<path>

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#commit-chunked-upload

Solution / workaround

1. fix the SDK :
Following CheckedUpload class, the commit url can be generated by:

path = “/commit_chunked_upload/%s%s” % (self.client.session.root, format_path(path))

2. add ‘auto’ in the front of the remote path:

response = self.dropbox_client.commit_chunked_upload('auto/' + remote_path, upload_id, False)

PyQt ProgressBar: Update progress from other threads

Example: UploadThread:

class UploadTaskQtThread(QtCore.QThread):
    tick = QtCore.pyqtSignal(int, name="upload_changed")

    def __init__(self, client, local_path, remote_path):
        QtCore.QThread.__init__(self)
        self.client = client
        self.local_path = local_path
        self.remote_path = remote_path
        
    def on_progress(self, progress):
        self.tick.emit(progress * 100)
        
    def run(self):
        self.client.upload_file(self.local_path, self.remote_path, self.on_progress)

Client:

    def upload(self, local_file_path, remote_path):
        self.upload_thread = UploadTaskQtThread(client, local_file_path, remote_path)
        self.upload_thread.start()
        self.upload_thread.tick.connect(ui.progressBar.setValue)

My first Python Class

Categories: Python; Tagged with: OOP • Python; @ May 14th, 2014 23:24

User class, has one attribute ‘name’:

#User.py
class User(object):
        def __init__(self, name):
                self.name=name

        def sayHi(self):
                print self.name, " say hi to you"


        def hello(self, *friends):
                f1, f2 = friends
                print "hello my friends: ", f1", and ", f2

Initialize User instance and call the methods:

>>> import User
>>> john = User.User("John")
>>> john.sayHi()
John  say hi to you
>>> john.hello("Luna", "Peter")
hello my friends:  Luna  and  Peter

I got confused, because I come from Java, why every method need a ‘self’? we use the instance invoke the method, why we need to supply the instance itself?

Maybe they are static? let’s try to invoke the method in ‘Static’ way:

>>> User.User.sayHi()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
TypeError: unbound method sayHi() must be called with User instance as first argument (got nothing instead)

Ok, how about this:

>>> User.User.sayHi(john)
John  say hi to you

It seems these instance method can be invoked both by Class and instance… that’s why every method requires a ‘self’?

Ok, let’s add a static method:

        @staticmethod
        def staticHi():
                print "Static Hi"

Invoke it:

>>> User.User.staticHi()
Static Hi
>>> john.staticHi()
Static Hi

Static method can be called both by Class and instance.
