post BM from bash-shell with python code

Posts 1 to 2 of 2

you need:  :cool:

a  p.jpg  picture file
the shell file
the .py file
the mhtm file for any descriptive text in the BM

:hobo:
edit the keys.dat file beforehand!

to post a BM from the dolphin filemanager:

launch .sh from dolphin while BM is running!
:idea:


.sh file   pic.sh  :

-------

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# 
# python2.7  ./pic-master-5.py   -h

# Usage: pic-master-5.py [options] [message] --help -h for CLI params  -- open .py file for details ;-) 
# 
# Options:
#   -h, --help   show this help message and exit
#   -a HOST      Api host (default 'localhost')
#   -i PORT      Api port (default 8442)
#   -u USERNAME  Api username (default 'username')
#   -p PASSWORD  Api password (default 'password')
#   -f FROMADDR  'From' address (default 'BM-
#                2cW67GEKkHGonXKZLCzouLLxnLym3azS8r')
#   -t TOADDR    'To'   address (default 'BM-
#                2cW67GEKkHGonXKZLCzouLLxnLym3azS8r')
#   -s SUBJECT   Message subject
#   -e IMGFILE   Embed an image
#   --se         Append embedded filename to the subject
#   -m MSGFILE   Append the file content
#   -n           Allow empty message
#   -l TTL       Message TTL in hours (default 96)
#   -w           Wait until the message is sent out
#   -c ACKDATA   Check message status
# 



# use htm file or use plain text:   -m mfile

# uses ./p.jpg by default , html placed below pic in the final bitmessage




# python2.7  ./pic-master-5.py   -s 'BM subject line in here' -m mhtm 


  python2.7  ./pic-master-5.py   -s 'cool pics and stuff' -m mhtm

.py file  picmaster.py

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python



#  usage:    python2.7 ./pic-master-5.py  -e ./pic1.jpg 

#  xterm CLI only, no launch from dolphin poss.    :-(   ...  except run with pythonw (wine version) does work here for some weird reason

#  yields:   No JSON object could be decoded  -- check all params!  usually this py does work.
#  make sure port# 8442 is active

#  watch ~/.config/PyBitmessage/keys.dat 

# keys.dat must include:

# apienabled = true
# apiport = 8442
# apiinterface = 127.0.0.1
# apiusername = Picmaster
# apipassword = Masterpic

of course, no # in keys.dat for the entries, e.g.   apienabled = true

# is only need as escape code in the bash shell file


#  watch ~/.config/PyBitmessage/keys.dat

# keys.dat must include:

apienabled = true
apiport = 8442
apiinterface = 127.0.0.1
apiusername = Picmaster
apipassword = Masterpic
