Another Python Server

[Nathan Warner]

Hi all, 

I wanted to share a new project I've been working on. It is a python server for hosting/saving tiddlywiki html files.  I started with the Ruby Server one, and the "Easy local saving with Python" thread and kind of expanded from there. 

https://github.com/itsamenathan/tiddlysaver-python

Thanks

Nathan

Excellent stuff! Even if I don't quite understand it :D Thanks for sharing.

Nathan,

This is wonderful especially for Pythonists. Please ask Jeremy through GitHub to list this in the Tiddlywiki resources and perhaps on the first page on saving methods.

Also have a look in the forum as I know there are two other Python-TW Saver.

If you are interested, one saver that can use python on the back end is BobSaver, but I think that they have different goals.

BobSaver is a saver plugin and it has a server component that I wrote in different languages (Node, Python or Julia at the moment). https://ooktech-public.gitlab.io/bobsaver/

That is really great to hear. I did as follow

1. download empty.html from tiddlywiki.ocm

2. drag and drop $:/plugins/OokTech/BobSaver into new empty.html from https://ooktech-public.gitlab.io/bobsaver/

3. download https://ooktech-public.gitlab.io/bobsaver/#BobSaverServer.py and save in the same folder as empty.html 

4. start server as  python .\BobSaverServer.py 

5. create a new tiddler and click on save button

Nothing happened and I got the below error

# python .\BobSaverServer.py
Starting Server...
Server listening using port 61192 on 127.0.0.1
Open any single file wiki with the BobSaver plugin and it should save without anything else.
Edit the BobSaverServer.py file to set a saver key or change the port used.
If you have changed the settings you need to set them in the wiki(s) you want to save also.
Press ctrl+c to stop server.

I just fixed an error with the python server, but the error was that it didn't sent the correct response on success, but that has nothing to do with the error you are seeing.

Nothing with the BobSaver sends any OPTIONS requests, do you have something else using port 61192? I don't know of any other way that would happen.

'Nothing happened' isn't descriptive enough to give any other feedback. You should have either gotten a message informing you that BobSaver wasn't working if it had been active and not working, or the download saver should have kicked in and downloaded a copy if BobSaver wasn't ever active.

I wrote up some guidelines about making bug reports https://ooktech-public.gitlab.io/guidelines/

Jed,

 I updated the plugin. I created a tiddler and tried to save the wiki an error window opened

Couldn't find a working server

in the terminal where I run server using python .\BobSaverServer.py

I got

Starting Server...

If you have changed the settings you need to set them in the wiki(s) you want to save also.  
Press ctrl+c to stop server.

I changed the port to 9999 on both Bobserver plugin setting page and in  BobSaverServer.py and rerun the server

I got the same error in from wiki and server

That's cool.  This project and mine seem to be doing a lot of the same stuff.  I was interested in having an easy to setup docker container for saving and backing up

FYI, I ran into one pretty big issue using HTTPServer.  On a slow network, uploading a tiddlywiki.html file can take a bit of time.  Unfortunately, doing this fast and often caused saving issues and corrupted my html file.  One quick fix is to verify the length of the body is the same as the length of the Content-Length header.
