I hope this is not an obvious question. However, I cant find any resources online, since everytime i google wordpress with pyqt, i get websites made with wordpress talking about pyqt.
Are there are resources or tutorials on integrating pyqt with wordpress. Or is this too vague, and it should be pyqt with mysql? Or is this just a bad way to write a program in python that gets data from a mysql database?
My understanding what you're looking for here is not to integrate PyQt with WordPress, but rather Python itself. PyQt it simply a toolkit that offers the GUI (and many more) module that you're likely using, but Python is still the "backbone" of your application.
In order to manipulate the database that WordPress uses, you'd have to manipulate that very database. For that, I recommend MySQLdb Python module. Alternatively, you could use the QtSql that PyQt comes with, but I honestly don't see the need for that.
However, I have to advise you that altering the database directly could have unwanted consequences and it could potentially break your WordPress installation - so make sure to backup the database often. Also, this poses a certain security risk. If I were you, I'd create a WordPress API (there may already be one, I'm not that familiar with WordPress) that will take HTTP requests and send responses as well, which your Python program would then use.

I'm creating a mobile app for an existing website and trying to connect to a local instance I have running on a MySQL workbench. I've seen others recommend against the use of MySQL but I'm stuck with it, since that's the current database. I'm using expo to run my React Native code. Do I need to use a server, like "MAMP?"
Let me know if there is any more info that is needed.
You cannot connect your app directly to your database.
You will need a server/API that acts as an intermediate between the app and the DB. You can code it in most programming languages and if you know PHP, having MAMP on your system will allow you to build your API with PHP.
I've seen others recommend against the use of mySQL
You should definitely question their reasoning. I've been using MySQL for many years now in small and big projects and it has never been an issue. If they're comparing it to non-relational DBs like Mongo, I can understand, it's easier to setup and maintain a NoSQL database than a relational one.
I assume you're not that experienced but I still purposefully used some terms that may be new to a beginner. Since I don't know your skills, I will refrain from pointing you to specific tutorials/articles.
I recommend you to Google anything you don't understand from this answer.
At first, this question appeared to be too trivial to me to actually require a Stackoverflow post. However, after executing many Google searches for the information, I am at a lost when trying to figure this out about Couchbase.
In Couchbase (I am using the 2.2 Community version), how do I share views among developers? Is there some sort if import/export functionality available? If not, then how does Couchbase intend for developers to share the views that they are using without needing to do manual copying/pasting? It is obvious that the code that a development team would write for querying Couchbase will require accurate view names. Without having a way to send a developer a view file, to accurately setup a Couchbase DB, how can it even be possible to develop with Couchbase locally as a team?
I'm sorry if I sound a little desperate or harsh here, but if it isn't possible to share views among multiple developers, then I don't see how Couchbase can be a viable DB solution for a team of developers trying to share database configuration, similar to how a team using an SQL DB would share schema files to set up the DB.
Several ways you can approach this:
1) Create views programmatically as demonstrated here in java:
http://tugdualgrall.blogspot.com.es/2012/12/couchbase-101-create-views-mapreduce.html
or here in node.js:
http://www.tuicool.com/articles/RvYbQn
2) Store all your views in your version control system (This is the option I use). If you are developing locally then only you need your personal view code, once they are working and your tests are all passing then you can check them in.
I assume you'd then be developing on an testing environment so yes sadly here you'd have to update the views either by hand or by using option 1.
You could also take a look at perhaps using this tool but only for views: http://www.couchbase.com/communities/q-and-a/how-bulk-import-design-docs-and-views-couchbase-server
This functionality currently is not available in the admin UI.
There is a defect/enhancement open Ability to import/export views MB-8436. You can leave there your feedback and vote for it so it will be included in the next release.
In the meantime you can use Design Document REST API
Also there is a workaround blog
I am doing a Web project, where I am using HTML5 and Django to store database in sqlite3. The part being, since I had to use python, I installed mod_python for apache2. Now the thing is I went through many sites for head start to store the data and retrieve it. When I check in google related to how to use mod_python I did get certain information on how I can send a request to a .py file and then execute it. But with Django documentation providing a tutorial which is to develop a polling webApp, I am not finding it measurable to the part I am trying to achieve.
I want to send the request from an Html file where I have a search box and some radio buttons, to Django through Apache2 (mod_python) and then access my database in sqlite3. Please could anyone give me brief idea on whether I am doing it right? Also if yes, can u give me a hint as in how can I send the request from HTML file to the database from Django and mod_python being used? I am a bit confused with Django tutorial.
Please if anyone can just let me know what exactly I should do! Or if any link with a proper guidance would be of great help.
Thank you.
Well, for starters, if you can install and use mod_wsgi instead of mod_python, you should -- mod_python hasn't been supported for years. I'd also strongly recommend that you use anything other than SQLite for a production web application -- SQLite doesn't cope well with multiple simultaneous transactions.
If you're stuck using mod_python, then see the Django documentation for using mod_python.
Once you've got that working, the rest of your questions can be answered by the Django Tutorial, particularly part 4, which covers the use of HTML forms with Django views and templates:

This is a doozy of a question...
I am developing a new wordpress website to replace my client's massively sized blog (tens of thousands of pages). Their existing blog is built on a custom PERL blogging platform from 1992...so as you can imagine, it needs updating.
My job is to find the BEST possible way to migrate all of their existing data into a format that wordpress can understand.
The new theme is very advanced, and this job is very advanced as well. After searching for specialists, I can't seem to find anyone who specialized in this field. What would you do in this situation? Thanks!
I've done this before, it's not that hard. I approached it as a wordpress plugin. First get the plugin to connect to the old database and get it to pull the information you need. Then you can use native wordpress function to insert new users, posts, comments, etc.
I did it line by line, which isn't the most efficient approach, but it is the easiest. I used an AJAX front-end to display the conversion status and repeatedly call the converter back-end, as the actual migration took up to several hours.
If the site can't be shut down for that long while you migrate the database, you could either look at doing a proper bulk export/import, or lock old topics and migrate those over first.
My converter was for an old PHP nuke site, and due to the fact that we were using WP-United, I didn't have to worry too much about user credentials and comments. However, the code might help you get started: http://www.wp-united.com/releases/php-nuke-converter
I have done a couple of these Wordpress migrations. The theme you're using in Wordpress is really not that big a deal, most likely. Themes in Wordpress don't ordinarily impact the database structure.
The Wordpress side is easy, it's in MySQL in most cases. The place to start for you would be to determine how the data in the PERL blog is stored. If it's a custom blog solution, there probably isn't a script you can find to do the migration. Hopefully, it's in a data form that will allow you to do a data dump in a format MySQL will allow you to import using something like phpMyAdmin (a popular GUI for MySQL). At that point, you can create a MySQL statement to match up the relevant fields in your old data with those in MySQL. If you're not comfortable doing it and want an expert, the thing to do is find out how the PERL blog stores it's data and find someone who is familiar with both that format and MySQL.
I'm working on an eCommerce website for a small merchant. This merchant uses Opera (which is based on Visual FoxPro) to manage his in-store inventory, and would like the online store inventory to reflect the in-store inventory.
I'm guessing that my first step is to set up a way to regularly transfer the information from the VFP database to a MySQL database on the website's server. Is there an established process for this? Am I even approaching this problem from the right angle? I've heard a lot about ODBC, but am unsure as to how to implement it or if it's what I'm looking for in this situation.
If it wasn't obvious by this point, I'm in over my head here, and would appreciate any and all advice you may have, including links to articles or tutorials that can help improve my general understanding of all the moving parts here.
Thanks much.
Co-worker developed synchronization process between VFP and MSSQL2008. WCF service which took input directly from VFP.
On other project - as far as i remember, when we tried ODBC .NET data adapter, it had problems with encodings and foreign languages. That's why we used COM+, serialization for communication with .NET.
But it seems to me you are using PHP (eCommerce=>Drupal=>PHP) so you are in completely different situation.
In your case, i would start with checking out if Opera (i guess it's this Opera) provides built-in export and eCommerce provides built-in import. Mostly because it might be tedious work to sync data manually from 2 apps coded by someone else. Then i would research if i/o can be joined and automated (something like scheduled task on win environment). Unfortunately, can't help much more because i'm unfamiliar with those tools, products and technologies.
Anyway - it seems to me like quite hard and dirty task and i wish you good luck. :)
Depend on what is that you are using to implement the website.. in general it is pretty easy with ODBC (In Java , I did it using the jdbc-odbc bridge)
