Neolib

Neolib ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

Neolib is an in-depth and robust Python library designed to assist programmers in creating programs which automate mundane tasks on the popular browser based game, Neopets. The goal of Neolib is to objectify Neopets by translating it's many objects and tasks into classes and functions that represent them.

Interesting concept for sure.
Do you have a more well known username on another site?

[AliasXNeo]

I did a lot of programming about 6 years ago when my username was known a lot more (I've made at least one of every popular program type, including a premium MAB I sold). I have since returned to the programming scene for another bout :)

I don't really have much to brag with since it's all long gone. However, here's some sample code of the latest version of the library (0.2):


from neolib.user.User import User
from neolib.daily.Daily import Daily

usr = User("username", "password")
if usr.login(): print "Logged in!"

list = ['Tombola', 'FruitMachine', 'PetPetPark']
for message in Daily.doDailies(usr, list):
print message

print "All dailies done!"

That's an example of the user end. For the developer end, here's a sample:


def __init__(self, usr):
if not usr:
raise invalidUser

self.items = {}
pg = usr.getPage("[Only registered and activated users can see links]")

# Indicates an empty inventory
if pg.content.find("You aren't carrying anything") != -1:
return

try:
for row in pg.find_all("td", "contentModuleContent")[1].table.find_all("tr"):
for item in row.find_all("td"):
name = item.text

# Some item names contain extra information encapsulated in paranthesis
if name.find("(") != -1:
name = name.split("(")[0]

tmpItem = Item(name)
tmpItem.id = item.a['onclick'].split("(")[1].replace(");", "")
tmpItem.img = item.img['src']
tmpItem.desc = item.img['alt']
tmpItem.usr = usr

self.items[name] = tmpItem
except Exception:
logging.getLogger("neolib.inventory").exception("Unable to parse user inventory.")
logging.getLogger("neolib.html").info("Unable to parse user inventory.", {'pg': pg})
raise parseException

That's the code for the UserInventory class __init__() method.

If I wasn't so busy with school and my own projects I have going I would definitely join in on this.

Yeah that's been the case with most programmers, its been tough finding contributers :p

To be honest, I have something similar to this being made as we speak. :P Been working on it for a while now and it will most likely be closed-source.

That's cool. This will most likely remain closed source as well, seeing as how powerful it is turning out to be. I've been having a blast refactoring it and making it more Pythonic (then again Python is fun to begin with).

Well anyways, for those that are interested just shoot me a PM. It's currently hosted on a private Github repo at the moment. The base has been laid and focus is currently on expanding the object base (currently supports the basics like inventory, user shops, shop wizard, SDB, etc.).

[j03]

Hopefully you saved everything you had updated the first post to? :(

[j03]

That's what a repository is for

No I meant his first post, it had a pretty descriptive paragraph and all that.

I'l update the original post again :)

Just a warning to anyone currently using or thinking about using the project, I will be moving to Python 3 with the next release. In fact, the next revision is going to change a lot of the HTTP core. My current intentions are to move the current master branch to a new branch to maintain the Python 2 compatibility, and then update the master branch to the Python 3 version. I also did revision of the configuration system, which I talked about here ([Only registered and activated users can see links]).

Welcome to our site you two :)

[AliasXNeo]

Welcome to our site you two :)

Thanks.

The master branch now reflects the Python 3 changes. The latest stable for Python 2 is now on branch 'py27'. I havn't tested the latest commit with Windows yet (developing on CrunchBang Linux), however I'll do so tonight and update with any hot fixes.

[AliasXNeo]

Since the some of the old thread content was lost, here's some more showing off :) This is the very basic main loop I have for the UAB I am developing. Searches for an item, buys it if it's cheap enough, then stocks and prices it and repeats.


def mainLoop(self):

while True:
for item in self.items:
cmpPrice = item.price - self.dedAmount

r = ShopWizard.search(self.usr, item.name)

if (int(r[0].price) < cmpPrice):
if r.buy(0):
print ("Bought " + item.name + " at " + str(item.price))

self.usr.inventory.load()
if not item.name in usr.inventory:
print("Error handling item: " + item.name)
continue

self.usr.inventory[item.name].stock()
self.usr.shop.load()
self.usr.shop.inventory[item.name].price = ShopWizard.price(self.usr, item.name, method=ShopWizard.AVERAGE)
self.usr.shop.update()

print("Handled " + item.name + " successfully")
else:
print ("Missed " + item.name)

That being said, I am having trouble finding a python 3.x imaging library that plays well with the main shop captcha. If anyone is interested in really helping this library out, a main shop OCR module would be extremely helpful :)

Turns out the current release of Neolib is completely backwards compatible with Python 2.x. That being said, I'm going to go ahead and officially move back to Python 2.x and transfer the current master branch to 'py3k'.

I've started work on the OCR crack with the Python Imaging Library, however due to real life issues I've had little time to improve the accuracy. Anyone interested in helping me pick up the slack let me know. Cheers.

Have you posted the OCR code? I'd like to see it ;)

[AliasXNeo]

Well here's a start:


im = Image.open("capt.jpg")
im = im.convert("L")
l, h = im.getextrema()
p = im.point(lambda x: x == l)
x, y, _, _ = p.getbbox()

That usually gets you right on the border of the pet, so it's a starting place (but Neopets usually doesn't like the cords). Just need to grab 3 more points and use it as a virtual box and just aim for the middle.

All un-revisioned or incomplete changes are being committed to the 'dev' branch. If you're wanting to use the bleeding-edge of this library, please checkout that branch rather than the master branch. The master branch will be updated with the dev branch once all goals of a revision have been met. The latest commit includes the above OCR code.

Major update today to V1.0.0. This is the first major public release of Neolib. A PyPi package has been created to allow for installation with easy_install:


easy_install neolib

A more in-depth README can also be found on the Github page.[COLOR="Silver"]

This is brilliant!

Thanks. Glad to finally have a truly stable version out. For some reason vBulletin doesn't like Chromium. Every post is a double post and I can't seem to edit any of my posts either. I'm on Chrome now and it works fine, not sure what the issue is.
