Change numeric base using Python

Hello,

How to change the numeric base of a number? This is a implementation in Python.

def convert(decimal,newBase,str,letters):
        if decimal >= newBase:
                x = decimal % newBase
                y = decimal / newBase  
                str = letters[x] + str
                if y < newBase:
                        str = letters[y] + str
                return convert(y,newBase,str,letters)  
        else:
                if len(str) == 0:
                        str = letters[decimal] + str
                return str
let = "0123456789ABCDEF"
print convert(17,16,"",let)

The variable let means what values used in the base. For an example if you want binary you should replace with 01.

Connect to SSH using Python

Good Night,

If you want to execute commands in console using python you can use the pexpect library. You can get it in http://sourceforge.net/projects/pexpect/. To install it use:

$ sudo python setup.py install

After install it, you can have fun. I did a small script to test it.

import pexpect

class SSH():
def connect(self):
x = True
sshConnection = pexpect.spawn(‘ssh -l matheus -p 22 192.168.0.254′)
sshConnection.expect(‘matheus@192.168.0.254\’s password:’)
sshConnection.sendline(‘password’)
while True:
print sshConnection.readline();
if x is True:
sshConnection.sendline(‘uptime’)
x = False
sshConnection.readline();

s = SSH()
s.connect()

If you have any problem try to use:

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev

Example connect to SSH using Python
