Conky script

Postby dijxtra on Wed Nov 18, 2009 12:45 pm

Hi there,

I don't know how many Conky users play CC, but I guess sharing my script with the world won't hurt anybody. So, here it is.

Python script that does the heavy lifting:
Code: Select all
## check-conquerclub.py -- A command line util to check for ready Conquer Club games by Nikola Skoric
## Based on check-gmail.py by Baishampayan Ghose

import sys
import urllib             # For BasicHTTPAuthentication
import feedparser         # For parsing the feed
import re

uname = sys.argv[1]

_URL = "http://www.conquerclub.com/rss.php?username=" + uname

def auth():
    '''The method to do HTTPBasicAuthentication'''
    opener = urllib.FancyURLopener()
    f = opener.open(_URL)
    feed = f.read()
    return feed


def readfeed(feed):
   '''Parse the Atom feed and print a summary'''
   atom = feedparser.parse(feed)
        p = re.compile('Game (\d+) Round (\d+) - (\w+) \((\d{2}hrs \d{2}min) \d{2}sec remaining\)')
        times = []
        for entry in atom.entries:
            #print entry.title
            m = p.match(entry.title)
            if m:
                if m.group(3) == 'READY':
                    times.append(m.group(4))
        if len(times) > 0:
            times.sort()
            p = re.compile('(\d{2})hrs (\d{2})min')
            m = p.match(times[0])
            time = m.group(1) + ":" + m.group(2)
            if len(times) > 1:
                print "%s games ready." % len(times)
            else:
                print "One game ready."
            print "(%s remaining)." % time
        else:
            print "No games ready."


if __name__ == "__main__":
    f = auth()  # Do auth and then get the feed
    readfeed(f) # Let the feed be chewed by feedparser

This python script can be used as shell script like this:
$ python /path/to/script/check-conquerclub.py username
or it can be used in .conkyrc.

This is a line from my .conkyrc:
Code: Select all
${color slate grey}CC: ${color }${execpi 300 python ~/bin/check-conquerclub.py dijxtra}


If you use Conky but are not familiar with such concepts like "shell script" or "writing .conkyrc", here is what you have to do to make this work:
0. I assume you have working conky (for that, you obviously need GNU/Linux system)
1. install python if you don't have it (it's on every sane GNU/Linux system by default)
2. install python-feedparser library if you don't have it (on Ubuntu you do it by typing "sudo apt-get install python-feedparser" in the shell or by using synaptic)
3. copy/paste the python code into file check-conquerclub.py
4. put check-conquerclub.py file somewhere (I propose $HOME/bin)
5. put the sample .conkyrc code I provided at the end of your .conkyrc
6. edit the line to fit your needs:
6.1. instead of "~/bin/check-conquerclub.py" put path to your check-conquerclub.py file
6.2. instead of "dijxtra" put your username
6.3. change "CC: " to "ConquerClub: " or "Risk: " or whatever you see fit
6.4. change the color property to your liking

And that's about it.

If you have questions or need help, just post in this thread and send me a PM reminding me to check this thread out since I won't be checking this thread regularly since I doubt there will be much (if any) replies :-)

I will try it later when I get back home. Don't have conky but will install it and test how it goes.

Thank you!

PS - yay, one more fellow unix user here!
