[Resolved] Package development

Hello,
I imagine this isn't necessarily intended for this, but I wanted to try calling a web page to force a FusionInventory update via the installation script by calling the local web server (127.0.0.1:62354/now). In theory, this works with the correct module, but I noticed that the module isn't part of WAPT at build time.
Are there only those listed at this address:
https://github.com/tranquilit/WAPT ?
If so, is it possible to add more?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

You probably already have what you need in the standard Python that comes with Wapt.
This should work:
Code: Select all
from setuphelpers import *
def install():
# faire ce qu'il faut
# lancer l'inventaire Fusion Inventory...
print(wgets('http://127.0.0.1:62354/now',proxies = {'http':None}))

Oh yeah, thanks. I didn't think you could use wget like that in Python. I'll look at the documentation a bit more, but I thought I'd absolutely need a module.
So I guess that's right, we're limited to the built-in modules?
Edit: After checking, I can't find wgets in the Python documentation. I'm used to the PHP documentation, but I'm a bit lost here. I can't even find which library it comes from via Google, nor by looking in the Git libraries. Can you point me in the right direction?

In standard Python, you can use urllib2, which allows you to make HTTP requests.
You can also use the requests module (which is integrated into Wapt).
In Wapt's "setuphelpers" module, a number of functions used during installation are defined or grouped.
`wget` and `wgets` are two functions defined in setuphelpers that act as wrappers on top of the requests module.
You can find documentation on setuphelpers here:
https://dev.tranquil.it/sphinxdocs/sour ... lpers.wget.
You can add modules external to Wapt to your package; they will be available during the installation phase, but not during the uninstallation phase, unless you copy them to a persistent location during package installation.

Okay, I'll take a look at all of that; there seems to be quite a lot in there already.
Thanks again
