Good morning all, Wondering if you could please help me with the following query:- I have just started learning Python last weekend after a colleague of mine showed me how to dramatically cut the time a Bash script takes to execute by re-writing it in Python. I was amazed at how fast it ran. I would now like to do the same thing with another script I have.
This other script reads a log file and using AWK it filters certain fields from the log and writes them to a new file. See below the regex the script is executing. I would like to re-write this regex in Python as my script is currently taking about 1 hour to execute on a log file with about 100,000 lines. I would like to cut this time down as much as possible.
cat logs/pdu_log_fe.log | awk -F\- '{print $1,$NF}' | awk -F\. '{print $1,$NF}' | awk '{print $1,$4,$5}' | sort | uniq | while read service command status; do echo "Service: $service, Command: $command, Status: $status, Occurrences: `grep $service logs/pdu_log_fe.log | grep $command | grep $status | wc -l | awk '{ print $1 }'`" >> logs/pdu_log_fe_clean.log; done
This AWK command gets lines which look like this:-
2011-05-16 09:46:22,361 [Thread-4847133] PDU D <G_CC_SMS_SERVICE_51408_656.O_ CC_SMS_SERVICE_51408_656-ServerThread-VASPSessionThread-7ee35fb0-7e87-11e0-a2da-00238bce423b-TRX - 2011-05-16 09:46:22 - OUT - (submit_resp: (pdu: L: 53 ID: 80000004 Status: 0 SN: 25866) 98053090-7f90-11e0-a2da-00238bce423b (opt: ) ) >
And outputs lines like this:-
CC_SMS_SERVICE_51408 submit_resp: 0
I have tried writing the Python script myself but I am getting stuck writing the regex. So far I have the following:-
# Import RegEx module
import re as regex
# Log file to work on
filetoread = open('/tmp/ pdu_log.log', "r")
# File to write output to
filetowrite = file('/tmp/ pdu_log_clean.log', "w")
# Perform filtering in the log file
linetoread = filetoread.readlines()
for line in linetoread:
filter0 = regex.sub(r"<G_","",line)
filter1 = regex.sub(r"\."," ",filter0)
# Write new log file
# Read new log and get required fields from it
filtered_log = open('/tmp/ pdu_log_clean.log', "r")
filtered_line = filtered_log.readlines()
for line in filtered_line:
token = line.split(" ")
print token[0], token[1], token[5], token[13], token[20]
print "Done"
Ugly I know but please bear in mind that I have just started learning Python two days ago.
I have been looking on this group and on the Internet for snippets of code that I could use but so far what I have found do not fit my needs or are too complicated (at least for me).
Any suggestion, advice you can give me on how to accomplish this task will be greatly appreciated.
On another note, can you also recommend a good no-nonsense book to learn Python? I have read the book "A Byte of Python" by Swaroop C H (great introductory book!) and I am now reading "Dive into Python" by Mark Pilgrim. I am looking for a book that explains things in simple terms and goes straight to the point (similar to how "A Byte of Python" was written)
Thanks in advance
Kind regards,
=====Answer to Eli who commented below=====
My apologies guys, I tried commenting on Eli's answer but my comment is too long and it won't save. I also tried answering to my own post but as I am a new user I cannot answer until after 8 hours!. so my only option is to add an edit to my post :)
Anyways, in response to Eli's comment:-
Ok lets see, My aim is to filter out several fields from a log file and write them to a new log file. The current log file, as I mentioned previously, has thousands of lines like this:-
2011-05-16 09:46:22,361 [Thread-4847133] PDU D
All the lines in the log file are similar and they all have the same length (same amount of fields). Most of the fields are separated by spaces except for couple of them which I am processing with AWK (removing "
I hope this is clearer now

UIC Men's Basketball Inks Four Area Players To A National Letter Of Intent
April 18, 2000
Chicago, Ill. - University of Illinois at Chicago men's basketball head coach Jimmy Collins has received a signed National Letter of Intent from four area athletes to play basketball for the Flames next season it was announced today.
Committing to UIC are Aaron Carr, out of Lincoln Park High School, William Lewis, who played his high school ball at Curie High School, Lathaniel Staten, who hails from Gary, Ind., and played at Andrean High School and Armond Williams, from Austin High School.
"These four players are very athletic, hard-nosed athletes that are a "go-out-there-and-get-after-it" bunch of guys," Collins said of his new signees. "They are all very athletic as well as aggressive and they will help us to improve all areas of our game."
Carr, a 6-foot-4 forward, averaged 24.0 ppg and 9.0 rpg at Lincoln Park last season while earning Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune and IBCA All-State honors as well as All-Public League First Team and all-area accolades. Additionally, Carr, who helped the Lions to a 21-9 overall record and a Public League Red North championship, was named a member of the Red-North All-Section squad and was a USA Today Honorable Mention All-USA Team. Last year, Carr was also one of five Chicagoans selected to participate in Team USA's Junior Olympic Trials.
"Aaron is what we call an all-purpose player - he can play the point or he can play two or three positions for us. He will bring us tremendous versatility," Collins said. "Aaron is also a strong rebounder and he shoots best off the move."
A 6-foot-4 guard, Lewis tallied 21.3 ppg, 7.8 rpg and 3.2 steals for Curie last year and went on to earn a spot on the Chicago Sun-Times All-Public League Fourth Team. An 82% free throw shooter and 42% three-point shooter, Lewis was also selected to the Red-West All-Section squad.
"Will is a catch and spot up shooter who can also put it on the floor," Collins noted of Lewis. "He is also excellent at anticipating and getting into the passing lane, so he picks off a lot of steals."
Staten, a 6-foot-2 guard, played the point for Andrean High School last season and averaged 18.5 ppg, second-most on the 59ers squad, while passing off 3.5 assists and shooting 45% from three-point range. Known for his tenacious defense, Staten was selected as a member of the Hammond Times All-Area Team and also earned honorable mention all-state accolades after helping lead the 59ers to a 24-3 overall record and a Class 3A state runner-up finish earlier this year.
"Lathaniel is another versatile player who will be able to play the point or two position for us," Collins said. "He has tremendous vision on the court and I know our fans are going to like him because he can leap and pull off a two-handed dunk or the ally-oop."
Williams, who showcased his talents recently at the UIC Pavilion as a member of Team Chicago at the Wendy's All-Star Shootout, scored 10 points in Team Chicago's 93-74 win over Team New York while he averaged 18.0 ppg, 11.0 rpg and 3.0 blocked shots at Austin High School last season. A 6-foot-5 guard and the Illinois High School Association Slam Dunk winner, Williams was named to the Chicago Sun-Times All-Public League Fourth Team as well as the Chicago Public League Red-West All-Section squad.
"When I see Armond play, the first thing I think of is Nick Anderson," Collins said. "Armond is a world-class athlete. He has great timing and can catch the ally-oop pass. He's quick of foot and will present a lot of trouble on defense."
Collins' four signees will join eight returnees from a 1999-2000 squad that finished with an overall record of 11-20 and 5-9 in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference.

text: Kuh shah ultramafic ? mafic complex is located in the north-west of Kahnuj (Kerman province). This complex consist of dunite, harzburgite and altered gabbros. Dunites and harzburgites have been invaded by numerous olivine-clinopyroxenite veins and dykes. Textural and mineral chemistry investigations on dunites and harzburgites reveal that they are relatively depleted and belong to the mantle, whereas the texture and chemical composition of clinopyroxene and olivine from olivine-clinopyroxenite are very different from those of the host rocks and indicate that these intrusives have been crystallized from ascending melts in mantle conditions. Like the similar ones in other ultramafic complexes in the world , olivine-clinopyroxenite intrusives of Kuhshah have been crystallized from mafic melts. The melts have been generated in the deeper levels of the mantle, then they ascend to the shallower depths, and produce olivine- clinopyroxenites and metasomatize the host rocks.

PESWiki.com -- Pure Energy Systems Wiki: Finding and Facilitating the Best Exotic Free Energy Technologies
Directory:High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) -- EMP Cruise Missile
From PESWiki
Compiled by Sterling D. Allan
Pure Energy Systems News
October 27, 2012
The U.S. Air Force and Boeing recently tested a cruise missile not too different from a drone that is capable of selectively targeting buildings with an EMP blast that doesn't harm civilians, but irreparably destroys electronics. That is sure to put a damper on your Facebook communications.
I was going to just link to this story from our news, but there was enough separate info and images I wanted to present that I decided to create a feature page on it.
One of the reasons why this one piques my interest is that while the ostensible reason for this weapons capability is for (my terminology) "all enemies of the U.S. Constitution, foreign and domestic", I have sadly watched the degeneration of our country to the point where up is down, and down is up; so it is entirely possible that weapons like this could end up being used against patriots seeking to expose the New World Order conspirators in our own country and world. So consider this a heads up to make sure in your preparation plans you are sure to include hardening capabilities and contingencies so that you are not taken out by EMP, whether from the sun or from a nuclear blast or from a US cruise missile with that capability.
Maybe a better use for these would be in the fulfillment of the prophecy to the effect: "The sword of their own hands shall fall on their own heads."
Quoting excerpt from http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/it-works-computers-fried-by-emp-like-blast/ October 25, 2012
- A pre-programmed cruise missile not too different from a drone has been proven to be capable of blasting out an EMP-type microwave that was able to destroy personal computers and electrical systems inside a building over which it was flying.
- The U.S. Air Force and its contractor Boeing have created the High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project, or CHAMP, which was just tested over a Utah desert.
- It's a project of Boeing's Phantom Works team and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory Directed Energy Directorate, along with Raytheon Ktech, which supplied the high power microwave, or HPM.
- The action of the high power microwave has the same effect as an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, from either a high-altitude exploded nuclear weapon or a massive solar storm, but not with their intensity.
- The cruise missile, which was launched from a U.S. bomber, was pre-programmed to fly over a target and shoot a burst of high power microwaves at a two-story building. It knocked out rows of personal computers and electrical systems which were shown in a video taken of the test.
- Following the first target, the cruise missile then was guided to six other targets, resulting in knocking out all electronics.
- The cruise missile is equipped with a powerful magnetron that produces a massive pulse of microwave radiation. The magnetron is a high-powered vacuum tube that generates microwaves that uses the interaction of electrons with a magnetic field. It also is used in radars and microwave ovens.
- How will you protect your family? Have you considered a hardened structure?
- (More - see remainder of article for discussion of similar weapons, as well as a discussion of the Iranian downing of a US spy drone [which Keshe claims was via his spacecraft technology].)

- Big Brother's New Toy: An EMP Cruise Missile (WND; October 25, 2012)
- Big Brother's New Toy: An EMP Cruise Missile - Just when you thought it was safe to leave your electronics out of the Faraday cage for a day or two, along comes Boeing with a new toy for Big Brother; a cruise missile which emits a microwave burst of energy which creates an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) as it flies by disabling all electronic devices. (John Galt; October 24, 2012)
- Boeing's New Missile Remotely Disables Computers as It Flies By - This is CHAMP: Boeing's new missile otherwise known as the Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project. It automatically disables PCs and other electronic devices as it soars through the skies, using a burst of powerful radio waves—and it was successfully tested last week. (Gizmodo; October 24, 2012)
- Boeing's CHAMP missile uses radio waves to remotely disable PCs - On October 16th, researchers from Boeing and the US Air Force successfully test-launched a missile capable of remotely disabling PCs and other electronics with only a burst of powerful radio waves. (TheVerge; October 24, 2012)
- The Empire's Dog Feces: AFRL/Boeing's CHAMP - such directed targeting has been around for years; this particular demo is less than impressive, only showing the monitors blinking off (one of them stays on longer before going off); and why doesn't the observation camera go off too? (It supposedly did in some of the tests). Just a Boeing publicity stunt. (DickDestiny; October 24, 2012)

Orange juice or orange drink? Ensuring that "advanced courses" live up to their labels
Short Description:
Recent evidence has accumulated that as student enrollment in advanced courses has expanded, increasing percentages of students, many from minority or low-income backgrounds, who are receiving credit for those courses are not learning the content implied by the course titles. It has proven to be much easier to enroll and give students credit for a course labeled "Algebra 2" than it has been to ensure that those students actually learn algebra.
Many students are leaving high school ill-prepared for college and the workplace. This problem is especially pronounced among low-income and minority students. One major strategy for increasing students' college and workplace readiness has been to enroll more students in advanced and college-preparatory courses in high school. Recently, troubling evidence has accumulated that as student enrollment in advanced courses has expanded, increasing percentages of students who are receiving credit for those courses are not learning the content implied by the course titles. It has proven to be much easier to enroll and give students credit for a course labeled "Algebra 2" than it has been to ensure that those students actually learn algebra.

CEO of Virgin Group, Sir Richard Branson (L), bites an apple reading 'Airbus 10.000' on January 17, 2011 in Colomiers, western France, after Branson announced that low-cost US carrier Virgin America ordered sixty Airbus A320 including thirty A320 Neo ('New Engine Option') for around $5 billion (3.8 billion euros). Europe's Airbus remained the world's biggest planemaker in 2010 by booking its 10,000th order, beating US rival Boeing, and plans to increase deliveries further this year, company chairman Tom Enders said today.

PHILADELPHIA — Marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the program, Penn Medicine physicians have completed their 1000th lifesaving heart transplant at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP). The 1000th patient was transplanted on Sunday, December 2, 2012 and is doing well.
"This milestone was made possible by the tireless dedication of a multidisciplinary team at the Penn Medicine Heart & Vascular Center over the last two decades, including cardiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, nursing staff, nutritionists, social workers, and transplant nurse practitioners and nurses," said Lee R. Goldberg, MD, MPH, medical director, Penn Medicine Heart Failure and Transplantation Program. "Working closely with our patients and their families and our partners at Gift of Life Donor Program, we've been able to make significant progress in heart transplantation care."
Established in 1987, the Penn Medicine heart transplant program, part of the Penn Transplant Institute's multi-organ transplant center at HUP, has been at the forefront of medical care and clinical advances in the area of heart failure and heart transplantation, including offering multiple organ transplantation – such as heart-lung and heart-liver transplants.
The program performs more adult heart transplants per year than all other Philadelphia area hospitals combined, making it one of the top three heart transplantation programs in the nation. Even though the program's faculty and staff treat some of the most complex cases, Penn Medicine's heart transplant outcomes are among the nation's best, with three-year survival rates greater than 80 percent.
As a leader in transplantation technology since the program's foundation, Penn was the first heart transplant center in the Philadelphia region to receive certification for total artificial heart (TAH-t) implantation, performing the first TAH-t operation in the Northeast in 2007. That patient later went on to receive a full heart transplant, and is alive and well today. Cardiologists and surgeons at Penn have also been leaders in testing the latest in mechanical cardiac devices, such as ventricular assist devices (VADs), which support or replace heart functions while patients are on the transplant waiting list, or as permanent therapy when transplant is not an option. The program is the largest mechanical circulatory support program in the region, placing more ventricular assist devices than any other program in the Delaware Valley.

I had contacted Tammy Viera a few months ago about the homeowners' insurance that we need to get a new carrier as our previous carrier was not renewing policies. She told me that we should touch base in January 2011 as it was too early. In January, Tammy gave me a courtesy call and reminded … More

How to Dress Like David Vanian
This article will tell you all about how to dress like Dave Vanian from The Damned. Read on to learn how to achieve his classic Gothic vampire look.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Find dark coloured clothing with lots of frills and lace—think Gothic Victorian. Check out Gothic websites for inspiration.
2Do your makeup. David wears a white foundation to get a very pale complexion and sometimes he wears a brown/black eye-shadow so it looks like he has dark circles, as if he hasn't slept for a while—centuries, in fact.
3Fix your hair. David's hair has a white strip in the front—just like Sweeney Todd's—so it is suggested that you use a strong bleach to dye a inch section or take a photograph to a hair salon and ask them to dye it just like his. To style back comb the front section and push it backwards and brush out the knots this should help you achieve his hair if you are still having trouble look at youtube videos for help. You could also use white shoe polish for a less permanent white streak.
4Speak intelligently. Dave does not speak that much in interviews but when he speaks he has something very constructive to say, so if you would like to do this only speak when you need to and answer in mysterious quotes/answers this will just add to your mysterious character making people want to know more about you.

- Do not copy Dave completely; it's your life.
- If you are having problems styling your hair, check out youtube videos; if you want your hair dyed, visit a professional.

Football Outsiders is a blog that I read because they do some interesting evaluation of both NFL and college football teams. They publish two different metrics, (Fremeau Efficiency Index or FEI, and "S&P" Rankings) plus a combined meteric called F/+. The rankings are all based on play-by-play or drive-by-drive efficiency, and are updated weekly for strength of schedule. Below are ISU's F/+ rankings from 2005 - 2012. Note that this includes all games and only games against FBS competition - bowl games are in, FCS non-conference games are not. Our 2012 ranking will change two more times yet based on the results of this week's games (due to SOS adjustments) and our bowl game. Rankings only go back to 2005 because the necessary play-by-play data is not available for all FBS teams prior to that.
You can spend a lot of time and money picking out the perfect floral bouquet for your date ... but you're probably better off checking if you have bad breath and taking the porn out of the glove compartment.
The moral: you gain more by not being stupid, than you do by being smart. Smart gets neutralized by other smart people. Stupid does not.
