Python Notes

With CentOS7.7, python3 can load from base. Do the following to fix previously-installed IUS release:

# yum remove python36u
# yum install python3
# yum remove ius-release

Then follow instructions for installing local python packages to ensure all still work.

Install Python 3.6 on CentOS 7:

Do some local configuration for my scripts (su - root):

pip3.6 install --upgrade pip
pip3.6 install --upgrade httplib2
pip3.6 install pymysql
pip3.6 install selenium-wire
pip3.6 install chromedriver
pip3.6 install chromedriver_binary
pip3.6 install dictor
pip3.6 install wget
pip3.6 install pip-upgrade-outdated

To update all pip packages:

# pip_upgrade_outdated

Note that https://pypi.org/project/pip-upgrade-outdated/ is a good resource to update all PIP packages.

Download and install geckodriver (see https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases)

As root, copy geckodriver to /usr/local/bin and ensure permissions are 755

Notes about Python database access

Python3.7 on Fedora 28:

Use "pip" to manage python packages:

# yum install python2-pip

To list installed python modules:

$ pip list

Logging in python

logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s %(message)s', filename=log_file, level=logging.DEBUG)
logging.debug('This message should go to the log file')
logging.info('So should this')
logging.warning('And this, too')

Write beautiful python code with PEP-8
