cPanel python plugin
Hello,
I am trying to write my first cPanel plugin. The language that I'm trying to write it in is Python. I am not an expert pythonist, so any fix, solution or tip is greatly appreciated.
I already created the cPanel plugin and the icon appears in the user's cPanel. I followed the tutorial from this link:
pprint.pprint(json.loads(form.value))
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 338, in loads
return _default_decoder.decode(s)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 366, in decode
obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
TypeError: expected string or buffer

Basically, what the plugin has to do is to list some files that are outside of the user's home directory (on some NFS mount or other dir on the server). What I would like is an actual example that uses python, so that I can build from there. The example can be about anything (echo the username, echo homedir through de API, etc.). Let me know if you need any other info. Thank you.

Hello @Havri, We don't provide a Python class for the LiveAPI system at this time, so that's something you'd need to develop on your own or have developed for you by a company offering development services. I'll leave this thread open for anyone else using a Python class to respond, but note the easier approach is to use PHP or Perl, since we provide classes for them already: Guide to the LiveAPI System - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation Guide to the LiveAPI System - PHP Class - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation Guide to the LiveAPI System - Perl Module - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation Let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you. 0 -
I already have a working plugin fully in python -- you can see the code here -- github.com/AnoopAlias/XtendWeb/tree/ndeploy4/nDeploy_cp the error you get is python code error TypeError: expected string or buffer it's not a cPanel issue. The LiveAPI socket being open warning can be overcome if you just close the socket def close_cpanel_liveapisock(): "We close the cpanel LiveAPI socket here as we dont need those" cp_socket = os.environ["CPANEL_CONNECT_SOCKET"> sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM) sock.connect(cp_socket) sock.sendall('') sock.close() close_cpanel_liveapisock()0
