Fetch version number from GitHub repository












1















I'm having trouble fetching the current version number of my application from a text file in the repository on my GitHub account.



def version_check(self):

    # Fetch version number from GitHub repo



    get_version = urlopen('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/myaccount/myproject/master/VERSION')

    #get_version.read().decode("utf-8") (No terminal output)

    print(get_version.read())

    print(get_version.headers['content-type'])



    #if get_version.read() == version_number:

    #    return True

    #else:

    #    return False


I get this terminal output:



    b'1.6n'

    text/plain; charset=utf-8


How do I format the output? I believe they are bytes literals but I'm stumped on finding the solution.






python python-3.x

  • you need to convert from bytes to string and then strip the new line

That is a "bytes" type value. You need to call the decode function on it to turn it into a string.



myBytesVal = myBytesVal.decode('utf-8')

  • The way you're using it in the original code snippet is incorrect. decode does not work in-place, but rather returns the string. So you need to assign that value.

Monofisismo

Image
Monofisismo (do grego: monos - "único, singular" e physis - "natureza") é o ponto de vista cristológico que defende que, depois da união do divino e do humano na encarnação histórica, Jesus Cristo, como encarnação do Filho ou Verbo ( Logos ) de Deus, teria apenas uma única "natureza", a divina, e não uma síntese de ambas. O monofisismo é contraposto pelo diofisismo (ou "diafisismo"), que defende que Jesus preservou em si as duas naturezas. Historicamente, o monofisismo se refere primordialmente à posição dos que (especialmente no Egito e, em menor grau, na Síria) rejeitaram as decisões do Concílio de Calcedônia em 451 (o quarto concílio ecumênico). Os membros mais moderados entre eles, porém, defendem a teologia "miafisita", que se tornou a oficial para as Igrejas Ortodoxas Orientais. Muitos ortodoxos orientais, porém, rejeitam essa classificação, mesmo como um termo genérico, mas ele é amplamente utilizado na literatura históri...

Angular Downloading a file using contenturl with Basic Authentication

Olmecas

Image
Monumento 1, uma das quatro cabeças colossais encontradas em La Venta, com altura aproximada de 3 metros Olmecas é a designação do povo e da civilização que estiveram na origem da antiga cultura pré-colombiana da Mesoamérica e que se desenvolveram nas regiões tropicais do centro-sul do atual México durante o pré-clássico, próximo de onde hoje estão localizados os estados mexicanos de Veracruz e Tabasco, no Istmo de Tehuantepec, numa zona designada área nuclear olmeca. A cultura olmeca floresceu nesta região aproximadamente entre 1500 e 400 a.C., [ 1 ] e crê-se que tenha sido a civilização-mãe de todas as civilizações mesoamericanas que se desenvolveram posteriormente. [ 2 ] No entanto, desconhece-se a sua exacta filiação étnica, ainda que existam numerosas hipóteses colocadas para tentar resolver esta questão. O etnónimo olmeca foi cunhado pelos arqueólogos do século XX, e não devem confundir-se com os muito posteriores olmecas-xicalancas que ocuparam vários locais do México...
