Welcome to Speno's Pythonic Avocado, formerly known as Qu'est-ce
que c'est Python. I upgraded to Python Desktop Server 0.7 and had my Python Community Server password
reset to something I know. I also changed the name because, hey, I love
avocados and python both.
The Python Desktop Server is still a huge confusing black box to me. Luckily I can peek
in at its source code and almost figure things out. For example, like
how to change my password without having to register a new blog. Here's
what I did:
import metakit
db = metakit.storage('/path/to/my/pyds/var/upstream.data', 1)
prefs=
"prefs[rpcurl:S,password:S,pinginterval:I,upstreaminterval:I,doupstream:I,doping:I,usernum
:S,proxy:S,commentsurl:S,cloudurl:S,bytesused:I,maxbytes:I,maxfilesize:I,rankingurl:S,refererurl:
S,mailtourl:S,updatesurl:S,webbugurl:S,cancomment:I,trackbackurl:S,cantrackback:I,canmirrorposts:
I,hassearch:I,urlsearch:S)"
vw = db.getas(prefs)
for r in vw:
if r.usernum:
r.password = 'md5 hash of my new password'
db.commit()
If you can read this, then that worked. Hopefully this will be easier
by the time PyDS is out of beta. Maybe it already is but I just don't
know how yet.  In the meantime, I hope to make use of the newly
created PyDS-Users
mailing list.
Oh. I just figured out how to use shortcuts. It looks like you put things in
double-quotes and they'll be expanded for you. One less question to ask on
the list now.
Take care.
