\nI’ve been continuing my journey into Python<\/a> by modifying my earlier location script to now post details to my website when run.\n<\/p>\n

\nI’m using the standard urllib<\/code> now and moving to slightly more advanced Python language features such as dictionaries (basically the equivalent of a Perl hash).\n<\/p>\n

\nThe code gets the location, calls a CGI script on my website and prints the returned message from that script to the console.\n<\/p>\n

\nHere’s the code…\n<\/p>\n

# we need access to the location and urllib modules so have to
\n#import them.
\nimport location
\nimport urllib
\n# get the mmc, mnc, lac and cellid by calling the gsm_location
\n# method from the location module.
\n(mmc, mnc, lac, cellid) = location.gsm_location()
\n# add the location to a python dictionary called params.
\nparams = urllib.urlencode({'mmc': mmc, 'mnc': mnc, 'lac': lac, 'cellid': cellid})
\n# open a filehandle to a cgi tracking script that takes
\n# the contents of dictionary params as parameters.
\nf = urllib.urlopen(\"http:\/\/www.robertprice.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/test\/cellid.pl?%s\" % params)
\n# get the results, hopefully a message saying OK.
\nprint f.read()
\n<\/code><\/div>\n

\nAll the CGI script on my website does is to record the parameters passed to it and return a simple text string saying it ran OK.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs you can see it’s really simple to Series 60 Python to communicate over the phone’s network connection. I have to say, this language is turning out to be better than I had expected, and far easier than J2ME.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
