Issue with gmail-parser.py script I have been running forever...
I recently had to reinstall my main build system and in the rebuild, I cannot get the gmail-parser.py script to run anymore.. It still works fine on all other machines so it is definitely something I have not installed (something I have forgotten...)
Here is the conky feedback when it is run
File "/home/vastone/gmail_parser.py", line 46, in <module>
f = auth() # Do auth and then get the feed
File "/home/vastone/gmail_parser.py", line 30, in auth
feed = f.read()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 355, in read
data = self._sock.recv(rbufsize)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 766, in recv
return self.read(buflen)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 653, in read
v = self._sslobj.read(len)
socket.error: [Errno 0] Error
I have everything the script installed (feedparser etc) but no go to get it to run
Anyone spot what I am missing?
As I recall there are 2-3 dependencies for that script - one was called py-parser, python-parser or something like that and pulled in the other 2.
I vaguely remember reading a thread about this where you solved it - you have the old #! forum bookmarked? If you search that, you may find your old thread.
this maybe -
gmail python script (http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=381)
python-feedparser maybe
Yes.. I wrote a How To over there for it... :D
The needed app is python-feedparser and that is correctly installed... everything looks as if it should function fine but I am cannot get it to go..
beat me to it :D :D
Clean [re]-install of your system?
Next guess would be you need python 2.7 but Debian in python 3 by default now.
Yes... a clean install
But 2.7 and 3.0 are both still installed as default although I did run vsido-welcome so it could have been installed during that but I do not believe so
I have also spent most of today google-fu the fuck out of this issue and have not been able to resolve...
I have found a nice bash alternative that just shows me I have new emails (count)
If we solve it fine, if not fine.... :D
Does your gmail-parser.py run in a terminal?
Might be a ...wait for it ... conky issue.
I've had conky barf on some older configs after doing a reinstall, usually it will not run a bash script. A couple times I rewrote the conky config.
Should be conky 1.10 on your new install, correct? The other machines conky 1.9 or 1.10? And is your conkyrc in 1.10 format?
Same conky on all systems...
Good thought... :D
Hey VastOne! A Cub's world series after all... 8)
I've noticed with a couple of different python scripts, you need to either specify in the code that it is indeed python2, or start it with "python2" instead of just "python". Give it a try and good luck! And yes both Pythons are installed in VSIDO by default. You might also need to add it to the $PATH... ;D
Same failures running it with python2 as with regular python
Using python3 gets me further but syntax errors pop up with it, which means more than anything the script needs a rewrite
I am only saddened by this as I have been using this particular script for as long as I have been using Linux... quite a long time
Yes.. the Cubs are legit...
Just make sure the following packages are there (they should be, most likely),
openssl
python-openssl
python3-openssl
If they are there and/or installing them doesn't solve the problem then open 'gmail-parser.py' in text-editor and add either of the following snippets at the top of the script,
import ssl
ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23 = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1
import functools
import ssl
old_init = ssl.SSLSocket.__init__
@functools.wraps(old_init)
def vsido_gmail_bug(self, *args, **kwargs):
kwargs['ssl_version'] = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1
old_init(self, *args, **kwargs)
ssl.SSLSocket.__init__ = vsido_gmail_bug
The first one is a simple one while the second a bit more elegant! One of them should work, Hopefully ;)
Cheers!!!
Thank you hakerdefo for the attempt... but these all failed too..
:(
Hi there VastOne,
Please run the gmail-parser.py script in terminal and post the complete output here.
Cheers!!!
And please post the gmail-parser.py script in question as well!

As stated above, I actually wrote the how to's on this thing..
Yes, it and python3-feedparser is installed
Doesn't happen to be a python2-feedparser used by your other installs, does there?
And I get identical error messages using python, python2.7 and python3.5 in
python /home/location_of_file/gmail_parser.py yourusername yourpassword
running the script on Void linux, python-feedparser version 5.2.1
Nope.. Just the latest SID version.. 5.1.3-3
not that it's any comfort, but mine is the exact same way. same error, tried all of above and no joy...
I think I've figured this one! Warning, I've been proved wrong before ;)
VastOne, Time has come to update this script cause changes made in python and urllib has rendered it obsolete! Are you sure gmail-parser.py is working on other Debian Sid installs? Anyways here is the modification of gmail-parser.py that should hopefully work with python 3 & co.

You will need to add your Gmail username and password to the following fields in the script before using it,
username = "your_gmail_username_here"
password = "your_gmail_password_here"
Save it somewhere in your $PATH and call it like this from conky,
execpi 600 /path/to/gmail-parser.py
Of-course you will have to replace '/path/to/gmail-parser.py' above with the actual path where you have saved the script.
Absolutely untested as I don't have python 3 on this box! Might blow up your computer! You've been warned! Good luck!
Cheers!!!
I get an error running it in a terminal -
Traceback (most recent call last):

@vastone - python-feedparser the only depndency?
Hi there PackRat,
You will need 'python3-feedparser' for the modified script I've posted. So just do,
sudo apt-get install python3-feedparser
And things should be fine!
Cheers!!!

@vastone - you have a link to your #! HowTo? I didn't see it recreated here. Void is crazy minimal so I need to make sure I have the packages installed - there no recommneded packages with Void just hard dependencies (wget isn't even part of the default install - distro is bat-shit crazy in some ways).
There is a How To on #! but I'll be damned if I can find it there..
The earliest references I have found of a How To on this by me is here on the Ubuntu forums in a thread about conky (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&page=1352&p=9721860#post9721860)
The only requirement though is and has always been python-feedparser, nothing else
@PackRat @VastOne
You've got following installed?
python3-openssl
python3-requests
python3-urllib3
Install if missing and re-run the script!
Cheers!!!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/jedi/conky/gmail_parser.py", line 23, in <module>

IndexError: list index out of range
Still the same...
Folks, AFAIK there's currently something libssl breaking python. Might be that driving you mad?
@Snap is right! Screw Python for now and switch to Ruby 8)
First make sure following packages are installed,
ruby
libruby
Gmail by default blocks all non-Google applications from accessing your account. There are two things you can do here to make this script work with Gmail.
First Method (recommended) :-
Generate app password for this script and use that generated password in the script. More information here,
Sign in using App Passwords (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en)
Second Method :-
Change your Goolge account setting to allow non-Google apps access to your account. More information here,
Allowing less secure apps to access your account (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en)
Next copy the following script with the name 'check-gmail.rb' somewhere in your $PATH,
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'net/imap'
IMAP_USER = "your_gmail_username"
IMAP_PASS = "your_gmail_password"
IMAP_SERVER = "imap.gmail.com"
SSL = true
PORT = 993
IS_EXCHANGE = false
IMAP_FOLDER = "INBOX"
CONKYFIED = true
NEW_COLOR = "green"
SENDER_COLOR = "grey"
SUBJ_COLOR = "white"
def conkify(text,color)
text = "${color #{color}}#{text} $color"
return text
end
def get_messages(conn)
imap = conn
imap.search(["NOT", "DELETED", "UNSEEN"]).each do |message_id|
envelope = imap.fetch(message_id, "ENVELOPE")[0].attr["ENVELOPE"]
from, subject = envelope.from[0].name == nil ? envelope.from[0].mailbox : envelope.from[0].name, envelope.subject
CONKYFIED == true ? puts("#{conkify(from,SENDER_COLOR)} $alignr#{conkify(subject,SUBJ_COLOR)}") : puts("#{from} #{subject}")
end
end
imap = Net::IMAP.new(IMAP_SERVER,port = PORT, usessl = SSL)
imap.login(IMAP_USER,IMAP_PASS)
imap.examine(IMAP_FOLDER)
IS_EXCHANGE == true ? counts = imap.search(["NOT", "DELETED", "UNSEEN"]).size : counts = imap.status(IMAP_FOLDER, ["UNSEEN"])["UNSEEN"]
counts > 0 ? ( puts("New Messages: #{CONKYFIED == true ? conkify(counts,NEW_COLOR) : counts}"); get_messages(imap) ) : ( puts("No new messages") )
imap.disconnect
exit
You'll need to modify the following in the script before using it,
IMAP_USER = "your_gmail_username"
IMAP_PASS = "your_gmail_password"
To modify the color output of the script shown in conky, modify the following fields to your liking in the script,
NEW_COLOR = "green"
SENDER_COLOR = "grey"
SUBJ_COLOR = "white"
If you wish to use the script in terminal instead of conky, change the following in the script from,
CONKYFIED = true
to
CONKYFIED = false
Make sure to give the script correct permissions,
chmod 755 /path/to/check-gmail.rb
And call it like following from conky,
execpi 600 /path/to/check-gmail.rb
This is tested okay & satisfaction guaranteed!!!
Cheers!!!

You've got following installed?
python3-openssl
python3-requests
python3-urllib3
Install if missing and re-run the script!

No change
Time to put this thread to rest! Why? Cause my friend Snap could be right when he said,
Quote from: Snap on November 15, 2016, 07:19:43 AM
Folks, AFAIK there's currently something libssl breaking python. Might be that driving you mad?
What's the proof I hear you say?
Well, I fired-up Semplice workstation (based on Debian stable) in live session. Took the 'check-gmail.py' posted earlier in this thread by VastOne and installed following packages,
python-urllib3
python-requests
python-feedparser
And run the 'check-gmail.py' script thus,
python check-gmail.py "gmail_username" "gmail_password" "3"
The result? Here you go,
(https://cdn.scrot.moe/images/2016/11/15/screenshot_2016-11-15-153655.md.png) (https://scrot.moe/image/uui2)
The username & password are hidden in the image for obvious reasons but you know what? It Fu***ng works :o
Now why oh why this doesn't work in Sid? As Snap mentioned there could be some bug out there somewhere in the Python land that's why!
What to do in the mean time? Use the ruby script I posted previously. It's small, doesn't have any dependencies outside standard Ruby install and it's conky friendly! What else do you want 8)
Cheers!!!
While I am stoked beyond belief for your help hakerdefo and love the ruby solution... it is a far cry from what I have been used to and perhaps you might want to improve it
Here is what I see:
After working all day I have 36 new messages on Gmail and this is how the new Ruby shows it
(http://www.zimagez.com/miniature/screenshot2016-11-1518-55-01.php)
(http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot2016-11-1518-55-01.php)
This is how the old shows it
(http://www.zimagez.com/miniature/screenshot2016-11-1518-53-49.png) (http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot2016-11-1518-53-49.php)
What would be need should be explained in the old script...
But, if no one can solve this the third and likable option is this bash option that simply shows how how may messages I have on gmail
mail-notify (make it executable)
#!/bin/bash
gmail_login="your_gmail_login_name" #login name
gmail_password="your_gmail_login_password" #pass
dane="$(wget --secure-protocol=TLSv1 --timeout=3 -t 1 -q -O - \
https://${gmail_login}:${gmail_password}@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom \
--no-check-certificate | grep 'fullcount' \
| sed -e 's/.*<fullcount>//;s/<\/fullcount>.*//' 2>/dev/null)"
if [ -z "$dane" ]; then
echo "No connection"
else
echo "$dane message(s)"
fi
run it in conky like this:
${color #E2CF3B} ${execi 20 /home/vastone/mail-notify}
It looks like this:

count = dom.getElementsByTagName('fullcount')[0].firstChild.data
return {
'emails' : mail,
'labelname' : label,
'labelcount': count
}
printEmails(getGmail(label,limit))
And change the following fields in the script appropriately,
username = "your_gmail_username"
password = "your_gmail_password"
Save the script somewhere in your $PATH with the name 'check-gmail.py' and give it execute permission,
chmod 755 /path/to/check-gmail.py
Open '.conkyrc' in your text-editor and add entry for 'check-gmail.py' like this,
execi 300 python2 /path/to/check-gmail.py INBOX 5
IMPORTANT:- Don't change 'python2' and 'INBOX' from the above snippet. The script won't work if you change either of them. Of-course you can change update interval from 300 seconds to some value of your choice. '5' in the above snippet determines the number of unread mail the script will display. You can change it from '5' to the value of your choice.

(https://cdn.scrot.moe/images/2016/11/16/screenshot_2016-11-17-023252.th.png) (https://scrot.moe/image/uQEy)
This worked for me as you can see from the scrot but your mileage may vary ;)
This script won't work with python3. If you want to run it in the terminal, run it like this via python2,
python2 /path/to/check-gmail.py INBOX 5
Try it! What's the harm!

That happened to me once or twice as well. Re-run the script and it returns the results. Retry it, chances are it'll work.
P.S. I again recommend you create and use a Google apps password with this script. Not only this script but every script-app that interacts with your account. You can create as many apps password as you wish.

No, it's not a missing module problem. Had it been a module missing thingy python would have mentioned it in the error. Most likely Google is blocking the log-in attempt. If you are using your Google account password in the script then you'll have to change the account setting to allow non-Google apps access to your account. More information here,

The original script (gmail-parser.py) that started the thread works fine on Debian stable. So we can assume that the one or more python modules packaged in Debian unstable is/are causing these scripts to fail on Debian unstable. One idea to try and resolve this problem is to use python modules from PyPI instead of Debian unstable.
First remove all python modules you have installed to meet the script dependencies. Like python-urllib3, python-requests, python-feedparser, python-openssl, python3-openssl, python3-requests, python3-urllib3, python3-feedparser etc. from the system. Next download the following package,
https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
cd to the download directory and run following commands in the exact order,
sudo python2 get-pip.py
sudo python3 get-pip.py
Then use pip to install modules required by a python script. For example if a python2 script requires 'feedparser' module, you can install it like this,
sudo pip2 install feedparser
And if a python3 script requires module 'feedparser', you can do,
sudo pip3 install feedparser
For more in-depth look at pip read this.

Hi hakerdefo
It is definitely urllib/libssl that snap pointed out that is the issue. I am now on the machine that has sid running and just did an update and was told that libssl would be updated and that a bug is going to break python... nice.
I will try your new solutions but I already have my google acct setup as Access for less secure apps and have verified with earlier scripts (ruby one) that it works as advertised.. It must be noted that I cannot change my google acct to any other setting. IOW, I do not have the option to go with different passwords for a more secure environment
I will get back with feedback
More weirdness...
I have disabled the check-gmail.py line from my conky script but yet the script just keeps on running... I do not see it in Task Manager or in top as a process running
The message
Error:Could not get emails
is explicit to the check-gmail.py script and when I delete the contents of that file and save it, only then does conky remove that message from my conky widget

Hi there,
I would suggest you should first turn-off access to less secure apps here,
http://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Then whenever you need to provide your Google password to any app or script go the following page and create app password for that app/script,
https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords
NOTE: Google will display the 16 character long app password only once when you create it.
You can always go to 'App passwords' page and remove an 'app password' whenever you want.
You can generate as many apps passwords as you wish so create-use a different app password for every application/script you use.
NOTE: You won't be able to create an App password if you have turned-on 'Access for less secure apps'.
Cheers!!!

Strange indeed! As I've mentioned in my second last post you can use python modules from PyPI instead of Debian unstable whenever a script needs a module.

I cannot access to setup app passwords even after having less secure apps turned off for 24 hours
Google sucks with a lot of their bullshit and I am tired of it all
I appreciate all your help and would like to see this script (check-gmail.py) working but my patience has run out
Hopefully in the long run the original issue with python and urllib/libssl will work itself out and the original gmail-parser.py can be used again

I think you will also have to enable 2-Step Verification in order to use 'App Passwords'. You can set-it-up here,
