1.1. Module database

The py_cerebro.database module contains descriptions of classes used to access the database.

Classes

class py_cerebro.database.Database(db_host, db_port, db_timeout=5, db_reconn_count=3)[source]
Parameters:
  • db_host (string) – host name.
  • db_port (int) – port.
  • db_timeout (int) – disconnect timeout (seconds).
  • db_reconn_count (int) – reconnect counts.

The Database class is used for connection to the database, it contains a set of methods, executing Cerebro standard queries, and enables custom SQL queries.

# Устанавливаем соединение с базой данных

if db.connect_from_cerebro_client() != 0: # Пробуем установить соединение с помощью запущенного клиента Cerebro.
        # Если не выходит, устанавливаем соединение с помощью логина и пароля
        db.connect('user', 'password')

Note

This class has functions that change task properties, which can take ID array as input. If it is required to set similar properties to several tasks, it is preferable to use ID array as an argument instead of using cycles for increased performance.

# Использование массивов идентификаторов

to_do_task_list = db.to_do_task_list(db.current_user_id(),  True) # получаем список задач текущего пользователя

tsks = set()

for task in to_do_task_list:
        tsks.add(task[dbtypes.TASK_DATA_ID])

db.task_set_priority(tsks, 
        dbtypes.TASK_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL) # установили сразу нескольким задачам приоритет выше обычного

Methods

activities()[source]
Returns:table of activities.

The table fields are described in the module dbtypes: ACTIVITY_DATA_...

add_attachment(message_id, carga, filename, thumbnails, description, as_link)[source]
Parameters:
  • message_id (int) – message ID.
  • carga (py_cerebro.cargador.Cargador) – object of class cargador.Cargador, to import files to a file storage.
  • filename (string) – full path to file.
  • thumbnails – a list of paths to thumbnail files (3 max). Thumbnail size must be 512x512 pixels. Format - JPG or PNG.
  • description (string) – comments to the attachment.
  • as_link (bool) – method of file attachment to the message: True - file is attached as a link; False - file is imported physically to a file storage.

Attaching a file to a message.

Using for thumbnail generation.

If a file is a picture or a video, it may have thumbnails to display in Cerebro forum. A video file may have up to 3 thumnails (the first frame, the middle frame or the last frame). By default thumbnails are generated by Mirada player, bundled with Cerebro.

#An example of generating thumbnails with Mirada.

gen_path = os.path.dirname(filename) # Selecting the folder with the attached file as the folder to save thumbnails in
mirada_path = './mirada' # path to Mirada executable

# Executing Mirada with necessary keys
res_code = subprocess.call([mirada_path, filename, '-temp', gen_path, '-hide'])                         
#-temp - folder to generate thumbnails to
#-hide - key to launch Mirada in hidden mode (without GUI) to generate thumbnails.

if res_code != 0:
        raise Exception("Mirada returned bad exit-status.\n" + mirada_path);

#Searching for thumbnails generated by Mirada.
#Thumbnail filename is composed from the source file name, date and time of creation - filename_yyyymmdd_hhmmss_thumb[number].jpg
#For example: test.mov_20120305_112354_thumb1.jpg - the thumbnail of the first frame of the test.mov videofile

thumbnails = list()
for f in os.listdir(gen_path):
        if fnmatch.fnmatch(f, os.path.basename(filename) + '_*_thumb?.jpg'):
                thumbnails.append(gen_path + '/' + f)

thumbnails.sort()

Beside Mirada, some other software, for instance, ffmpeg, can be used to generate thumbnails.

#An example of generating thumbnails with ffmpeg.
#Prior to generating thumbnails with ffmpeg it is necessary to resolve the duration of video,
#in order to calculate the middle and the last frame correctly.
#Let's take, for example, a 30-second long video.

thumbnails = list() # file list for thumbnails
thumbnails.append(filename + '_thumb1.jpg')
thumbnails.append(filename + '_thumb2.jpg')
thumbnails.append(filename + '_thumb3.jpg')

subprocess.call(['ffmpeg', '-i', filename, '-s', '512x512', '-an', '-ss', '00:00:00', '-r', 1, '-vframes', 1, '-y', thumbnails[0]])
subprocess.call(['ffmpeg', '-i', filename, '-s', '512x512', '-an', '-ss', '15:00:00', '-r', 1, '-vframes', 1, '-y', thumbnails[1]])
subprocess.call(['ffmpeg', '-i', filename, '-s', '512x512', '-an', '-ss', '30:00:00', '-r', 1, '-vframes', 1, '-y', thumbnails[2]])
# The key descriptions can be found in ffmpeg documentation
