My python cod keeps giving me errors like indention and syntax which I keep fixing them but to no avail. So here is the code I'm using I'm still not sure what I'm doing wrong here (BTW this is just due to an argument with a friend about what I can't do)
import requests
import subprocess
import json
import sys
import threading
import time
from Queue import Queue
numberOfViewers = int(sys.argv[1])
builderThreads = int(sys.argv[2])
startTime = time.time()
numberOfSockets = 0
concurrent = 25
urls = []
urlsUsed = []
def getURL(): # Get tokens
output = subprocess.Popen(["livestreamer", "twitch.tv/CHANNEL_NAME", "-j"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]
return json.loads(output)['streams']['worst']['url'] # Parse json and return the URL parameter
def build(): # Builds a set of tokens, aka viewers
global numberOfSockets
global numberOfViewers
while True:
if numberOfSockets < numberOfViewers:
numberOfSockets += 1
print "Building viewers " + str(numberOfSockets) + "/" + str(numberOfViewers)
urls.append(getURL())
def view(): # Opens connections to send views
global numberOfSockets
while True:
url=q.get()
requests.head(url)
if (url in urlsUsed):
urls.remove(url)
urlsUsed.remove(url)
numberOfSockets -= 1
else:
urlsUsed.append(url)
q.task_done()
if __name__ == '__main__':
for i in range(0, builderThreads):
threading.Thread(target = build).start()
while True:
while (numberOfViewers != numberOfSockets): # Wait until sockets are built
time.sleep(1)
q=Queue(concurrent*2)
for i in range(concurrent):
try:
t=threading.Thread(target=view)
t.daemon=True
t.start()
except:
print 'thread error'
try:
for url in urls:
print url
q.put(url.strip())
q.join()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
sys.exit(1)
You have a couple error in your code:
1: print:
If you are using Python3 -
The print statement has been replaced with a print() function, with keyword arguments to replace most of the special syntax of the old print statement
for more information about whats new in python 3
2: Indentation:
If you are getting this error:
IndentationError: expected an indented block
that means you have improper indentations. As an interpreted language proper indentation is necessary and important for Python:
Leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a logical line is used to compute the indentation level of the line, which in turn is used to determine the grouping of statements.
for more information look at Python reference manual for Indentation
Fixed code example:
I fixed these error for you and below is how it should look like:
import requests
import subprocess
import json
import sys
import threading
import time
from Queue import Queue
numberOfViewers = int(sys.argv[1])
builderThreads = int(sys.argv[2])
startTime = time.time()
numberOfSockets = 0
concurrent = 25
urls = []
urlsUsed = []
def getURL(): # Get tokens
output = subprocess.Popen(["livestreamer", "twitch.tv/CHANNEL_NAME", "-j"],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]
return json.loads(output)['streams']['worst']['url'] # Parse json and return the URL parameter
def build(): # Builds a set of tokens, aka viewers
global numberOfSockets
global numberOfViewers
while True:
if numberOfSockets < numberOfViewers:
numberOfSockets += 1
print ("Building viewers " + str(numberOfSockets) + "/" + str(numberOfViewers))
urls.append(getURL())
def view(): # Opens connections to send views
global numberOfSockets
while True:
url=q.get()
requests.head(url)
if (url in urlsUsed):
urls.remove(url)
urlsUsed.remove(url)
numberOfSockets -= 1
else:
urlsUsed.append(url)
q.task_done()
if __name__ == '__main__':
for i in range(0, builderThreads):
threading.Thread(target = build).start()
while True:
while (numberOfViewers != numberOfSockets): # Wait until sockets are built
time.sleep(1)
q=Queue(concurrent*2)
for i in range(concurrent):
try:
t=threading.Thread(target=view)
t.daemon=True
t.start()
except:
print ('thread error')
try:
for url in urls:
print (url)
q.put(url.strip())
q.join()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
sys.exit(1)
3.ImportError: No module named 'requests'
This means your module request is missing. Simply install it with using Command line if you have Windows or Terminal if you have a Mac.
$ sudo pip install requests --upgrade
