I wonder why open-source projects are now full of emojis and ridiculous stuff like “Please ensure that any media you use with this app is obtained legally”?
What happened to the hacker spirit and the communities that sprouted from SourceForge and Linux?
Sorry for the rant.


Yes. You can say "Session\\Port (lots of space here) = 12345"(formatting sucks, sorry) to align your values properly. Also are you sure that there is a double backslash here because you are using a raw string here?


Yes (and I’m sorry for not having more time to study this but):
logDateTime
That thing should be automatically printed by the logger somehow (most of the time, timestamps and log levels are inside the logger itself). If it’s not, check the configuration of the logger. Anyway. logDateTime has got to go. IMHO a logger is a magical object that you don’t control. It’s the user of the application who should set the rules one way or the other, like:
logger.info("qbittorrent listen port set to...
IIRC the logger can be set from the command-line, which you don’t control anyway. It’s the same thing in C++ and with any library on the planet (trust me), someone sets up the logging system for you outside of the application (in the main function or on the command-line or with environment variables or in a library/DLL) and all you can do is call “log.debug()” or “log.warning()” and hope for the best. Some libraries have huge systems to handle logs (rotating logs, serial ports, files, network…) and you shouldn’t give yourself headaches while using those things. Think of a logger as a pre-configured system that does way more that you should and want to know.
logger = logging.getLogger(…
Put that outside of main, after the imports. You can prepend it with an underscore to show that it’s a “private or protected” object belonging to your module. If it’s in main, you can’t use it in the other functions. You should do something like:
from qbittorrent import Client
_logger = logging.getLogger(...)
This way your logger is independent on whether you’re using it from the command line (with main) or not (with an import).
QB_PASSWORD
Same thing with all the QB_ variables IF they don’t change, you can put them globally for such a module, like _QB_PASSWORD = ... and use it everywhere if your module were to change in the future. But only if the variables are constants across the usage of the script.
a40124291102d
Last but not least, use argparse if you can, it’s a simple module to handle command-line arguments. I guess that the container ID can change, you can either detect it with the subprocess module, or write def get_current_forwarded_port(container_id = "a40124291102d"): or use argparse. Feel free to ask if argparse if too weird, but it’s the best module out there and it’s built-in.
TL;DR:
Anyway, great job, writing weird stuff for my own needs is how I started coding. Have fun.


Make the logger a global variable. This may be the only case where its acceptable to be global. And remove the log function. You can call the logger directly.
Also wrap the main code (after BEGIN SCRIPT) in a main function.
Last but not least log everything to the standard output (logging should do that by default), or configure the path in main(), it’s cleaner. If you log to stdout, the shell can redirect the logs to any path like python script.py > mylogs.txt


Definitely. UPS and DHL do this. They dont know what happens when a package leaves the countryf origin.


I deny. Making a joke is not a slur. Calling someone an asshole is not a slur either.
And what about wanker?


Any word ending in “er” is an insult now?

You waited 2 months for this? That’s dedication.


I still fail to understand what is the social part of Lemmy, 4chan, or reddit. Those are forums with pseudonyms.
That’s annoying. Don’t do that.


English speaking
Not in your constitution or your law. Nice try though.
predominantly protestant
With all the mormons, catholics, asians, and scientologists? Do you think we are THAT stupid?
different countries … had to assimilate
lol. All you achieved to do was destroy the existing culture of the native americans.
a certain way of seeing the world
Capitalism. That’s all what is left in your rotten brain.
What percentage of Italians or Romanians can speak fluent English
99% I guess, what is your point?
Every American knows what CNN, WSJ and USA Today are
TV is culture now? Fuck off.
Maybe you can prove me wrong?
You’re a nazi and/or russian troll, I don’t have to prove you wrong.
Edit: you’re from .ml, I understand now why you have nazi ideas. Have a nice day. You can still grow up though and take care of people around you instead if licking Putin’s ass, but it will be hard work.
What is the alternative? In France electric cars are expensive, and I don’t see chargers around me.


I’m curious about that too since you can “create” most small applications with a few lines of Bash, pipes, and all the available tools on Linux.


Yep, it’s trash.


Paywalled clickbaity trash of an article.


Grease, sugar, and a lot of chemicals.


Google sideloading and “fucking ads on a fridge.” Don’t thank me.
I had that one (french version): https://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jB_0gDq-z5U/S_wcG9n9LkI/AAAAAAAAEp8/VYszHxROVVM/s1600/Mastermind.jpg
