SCP
>>> py >> file … Also if __name__ == ‘__main__’:
Some major updates and we have the scripts running, thanks Asheesh for the redirection idea, it works but I couldn’t get it to give me a progress bar since everything was being redirected to the file. I tried using two different functions but they needed a shared variable, so that failed, but it was nice since now I ended up with “real” python files with a main().
The journey was interesting, we went from trying >> inside python to including # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- and # coding: UTF-8 to get it to work and after a few more bumps finally figured out the __main__
I still need to update all the scripts, but licChange which is at the forefront of all the latest developments just got bumped upto version 8.2 (which reminds me of a dire need to update GIT:Loggy!).
This also gave me an idea of how to go about getting data out of S3 for “free” … S3 to EC2 is free … SCP from EC2 is free and voila! Why would I every want to do that? Well, for starters, the EC2 AMI runs out of space around 5 GB (note: logs for i.creativecommons.org are 4.7 GB) and secondly, the scripts seem to run faster locally. The icing on the cake, I wouldn’t have to scp the result files being generated. I could possibly automate the process of running the scripts.
Thats all for now … class at 0830 Hrs in the moring (it’s criminal, I know).
I guess, I’ll just have to keep at it.
