Anyone know Flask here?

Dennis

TanMath

Me!

Alex A.

@Dennis Ah yes, I know this flask well.

TanMath

Lol

Maltysen

@phase i do

TanMath

06:04

@phase ask your question!

Alex A.

Maybe that was his only question.

phase

Does this look weird to you guys? view-source:localhost/https://www.github.com

Alex A.

Yes

Dennis

Coming from you, no.

In Python 3, I have a string that has a bunch of href="%s" in it, and I want to replace it with href="localhost/" + url + "%s" if it starts with a /, or href="localhost/%s" if it doesn't.

Maltysen

@phase use jinja

this isn't answering your question, but use jinja

phase

@Maltysen What? How? When? Why?

TanMath

06:15

What is jinja?

Maltysen

@phase this is for flask rite?

phase

@Maltysen yes

Maltysen

and you're filling in your html?

phase

yes

TanMath

just do like you said!

Maltysen

06:16

flask comes with jinja automatically

Alex A.

@phase He means "Jenga."

3

Maltysen

which is a templating engine

phase

@AlexA. not helping ;_________;

Alex A.

Jenga

Jenga is a game of physical and mental skill created by Leslie Scott, and currently marketed by Parker Brothers, a division of Hasbro. During the game, players take turns removing one block at a time from a tower constructed of 54 blocks. Each block removed is then balanced on top of the tower, creating a progressively taller but less stable structure. The name jenga is derived from a Swahili word meaning "to build". == Rules == Jenga is played with 54 wooden blocks. Each block is three times as long as its width, and one fifth as thick as its length 1.5 cm × 2.5 cm × 7.5 cm (0.59 in × 0.98 in...

Use this

Maltysen

which is what you should be using to make your html

@AlexA. that works too :P

phase

06:17

@app.route('/<path:url>')
def proxy(url):
    print("Connecting to " + url + "...")
    page = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
    return page.read()

that is what I have right now

Alex A.

+1 for no tabs

Maltysen

read the flask getting started

phase

I know of jinja, and I've used it with formatting html files, but not a normal string

Maltysen

then use it to render your html

TanMath

Can't you just make a separate string or something?

Dennis

06:18

@AlexA. I win!

TanMath

i think I am misunderstanding the question...

Maltysen

@phase btw, I didn't answer your question, I was just telling you to use jinja

Alex A.

@Dennis I don't doubt that you've won but I don't know what the contest in question is.

Dennis

7 hours ago, by Calvin's Hobbies

Mini-challenge: Make Alex say "ಠ_ಠ".

Maltysen

@phase what is url?

phase

06:20

@Maltysen I don't think it will help me whatsoever because I don't have a literal %s everywhere, but I have a string in that location

3 mins ago, by phase

@app.route('/<path:url>')
def proxy(url):
    print("Connecting to " + url + "...")
    page = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
    return page.read()

Maltysen

and you want to change page.read()?

phase

@Maltysen yesh'

I was just thinking some regex or something but I don't know how to do it in Python

Maltysen

I was about to suggest that

you can probably do it with capture groups

and chaining two replaces

Alex A.

@Dennis I missed some fun times earlier today I guess. :P

TanMath

What is the question again?

Alex A.

06:22

@Calvin'sHobbies It seems Dennis has won your mini-challenge.

High quality content here in TNB

phase

@Maltysen Something like href = re.compile("href=\"(.*)\"") ?

Maltysen

re.sub('href="/(.*?)"', href="localhost/" + url + "\1", page.read())

^ approximately correct

I didn't actually test it

phase

Wouldn't it be \\1 because it's not a raw string?

Maltysen

i dont think so

python lets you have `\`'s if they don't escape anything

Alex A.

Idea: Do your entire webpage in Pyth.

TanMath

06:28

^

Maltysen

@AlexA. 10/10 very golfy and efficient

TanMath

Or when my new language comes out, ShortPy, write the page in that!

phase

@Maltysen SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument

Maltysen

put it in a string

around href="localhost

also, this only does you first condition, not your second one

you need another re.sub for that

TanMath

GTG...bye!

Alex A.

06:31

bai

phase

I think you've got the wrong method, because sub takes .sub(repl, string, count)

Maltysen

gah python3

i was thinking of python2 re.sub

phase

oh snap

Maltysen

to the docs!

Alex A.

Python 3 > Python 2 because 3 > 2.

Maltysen

06:32

uh no, it looks to be the same

Alex A.

Also because it's better.

Maltysen

re.sub(pattern, repl, string, count=0, flags=0)

is that not what you see?

Alex A.

I see Dennis from space

Dennis

@AlexA. I only have one rule.

Rainbolt

@MartinBüttner Don't mind at all

Dennis

06:33

@AlexA. Wait, what?

phase

does page.read() not return a string?

Alex A.

@Dennis Hi

Maltysen

yes

Alex A.

I'm in space and I see you.

@Dennis What rule is this?

Maltysen

@phase try this: re.sub('href="/(.*?)"', 'href="localhost/"' + url + "\1", page.read())

Dennis

06:34

Alex A.

@Dennis Well if Neil Patrick Harris says so then it must be accurate.

@AlexA. That's not why Python 3 is better though. Python 2 is the only language I know where security holes are a feature.

I mean, who on Earth thought auto-evaluating input was a good idea?

Alex A.

@Dennis Hah! You mean input()?

Maltysen

Maltysen

wut happened

phase

@Maltysen str(page.read())

Maltysen

06:44

ah

is the \n's supposed to happen?

phase

@Maltysen ofc not

Maltysen

did my regex do that?

brb testing

phase

no, it's str

Maltysen

oh

Alex A.

@phase Beautiful

Maltysen

06:46

so did you run my regexp on str(page.read())?

maybe page.read isnt a string

phase

page.read is some bytes

re.sub('href="/(.*?)"', 'href="localhost/"' + url + "\1", page.read().decode('utf-8')) works

Maltysen

does it do good replaces?

phase

nope!

Maltysen

there is a better way with function replaces, but i'm lazy

@phase aww

what's the problem

phase

it's not getting the capture'd group
