Help with writing some python scripts

[Rumik]

Hi guys,

I'm moving my SAB installation over to a new mac mini running Mountain Lion and I could really use a hand writing some replacement scripts, as my old .bat scripts obviously do not work with OSX, however I don't know python. Could some kind soul help me write some new ones?

Here they are:


Audio

@echo off
xcopy %1 "S:\Media\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes\"%3\ /s/e

the new file structure is: /Volumes/Share-1/Media/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes/



Comics

@echo off
xcopy %1 C:\Users\Ryan\Dropbox\Downloads\%3\ /s/e

the new file structure is: Users/Ryan/Dropbox/Comics/


Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

Python is great, but you don't need it for these oneliners: just a "cp --recursive ..." (or "mv") should do. And replayce %1 with $1.

My first guess:

cp --recursive $1 "/Volumes/Share-1/Media/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes/"$3

As always: first issue the command from the command line. Experiment with it. If it works, put it in a .sh file. Test it. If it works, run the script from SABnzbd.

Thanks for the advice, I'm grateful! Unfortunately I didn't really understand what you jus said lol but I will try the script you suggested

I've come up with the following script, but it's still not working. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm pulling my hair out here!

import sys,os,distutils.dir_util

origin = sys.argv[1]
destination = ""

if sys.argv[2].lower() == "comics":
destination = "/Users/Ryan/Dropbox/Comics"
elif sys.argv[2].lower() == "music":
destination = "/Volumes/Share/Media/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes"
else:
sys.exit("Usage: larry.py sourcepath [comics | music]")

distutils.dir_util.copy_tree(origin, destination)

and the error I'm getting is:

Exit(1) Usage: larry.py sourcepath [comics | music]

So, I moved on to shell, and came up with two separate scripts:

#!/bin/bash
mv $1 /Volumes/Share/Media/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes/

and

#!/bin/bash
cp $1 /Users/Ryan/Comics/

But those both simply return the error:

Cannot run script.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Thanks!

Does /bin/bash exist on your system?
Your Python script doesn't have a first "magic line", something like:
#!/usr/bin/python
Also your Python script doesn't use indentation for the "then" and "else" parts of "if" statements.

A friend managed to help me figure it out

import sys,os,distutils.dir_util

# Args as found in docs at: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/user-scripts
# 1 The final directory of the job (full path)
origin = sys.argv[1]
# 2 The original name of the NZB file
# 3 Clean version of the job name (no path info and ".nzb" removed)
# 4 Indexer's report number (if supported)
# 5 User-defined category
category = sys.argv[5]
# 6 Group that the NZB was posted in e.g. alt.binaries.x
# 7 Status of post processing. 0 = OK, 1=failed verification, 2=failed unpack, 3=1+21

destination = ""
if category.lower() == "comics":
destination = "/Users/Ryan/Dropbox/Comics"
elif category.lower() == "music":
destination = "/Volumes/Share/Media/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes"
else:
print("Origin: " + origin)
print("Category: " + category)
sys.exit("Script failed!")

distutils.dir_util.copy_tree(origin, destination)

Ah, unfortunately while the comic portion of the script is working, the audio one is not. I'm getting the "script failed!" Error... I don't want to keep bothering my friend, can anyone help? I thought it might be the spaces in the patch (iTunes media and automatically add to iTunes) so I changed them to 'iTunes media', etc but it hasn't made any difference.

Anyone have any ideas?

No worries, I fixed it wrong category!
