Install module for use with pyscript

Third party integrations
1

I am running a script with pyscript and I believe the issue is that it needs the “requests” library based on the error:

Exception in <file.example2.final_test_2> line 18: response = requests.get(url) ^ NameError: name 'requests.get' is not defined During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Exception in <file.example2.final_test_2> line 26: raise ValueError(f"Error: {str(e)} - Unable to fetch webpage") ^ ValueError: Error: name 'requests.get' is not defined - Unable to fetch webpage

I am unsure how to import or add this library. Based on what I read on Reference — hacs-pyscript 1.5.0 documentation it says

Pyscript code can be put into modules or packages and stored in the <config>/pyscript/modules folder.

So what does that really mean? If I go to requests · PyPI and download the libary. I get a file called requests-2.31.0-py3-none-any.whl. What do I do with this? Do I just drop that file in? I’m lost.

code:

@service
def final_test_2(action=None, id=None):
    #import json
    import re
    import requests

    # Define the variables for node and MAC address
    node = "wtn"
    mac_address = "hidden_for_privacy"

    # Construct the URL with the node and MAC address variables
    PTD_BANDWIDTH_GRAPH_URL = f"https://www.engr.ptd.net/login/cableutil/cableutil_graph_gen.cgi?type=standard&node={node}&partner=SECV&source=OpenVault&address={mac_address}&keepnode=&start=&end="

    PATTERN = r"<h4>This Month[\s\S]+?Total Upstream:[\s\S]+?GB \(<font style='color: red'>(?P<upload>\d+)[\s\S]+?Total Downstream: [\s\S]+?GB \(<font style='color: green'>(?P<download>\d+)"

    def fetch_webpage(url):
        try:
            response = requests.get(url)
            if response.status_code == 200:
                return response.text
            else:
                #return f"Error: {response.status_code} - Unable to fetch webpage"
                raise ValueError(f"Error: {response.status_code} - Unable to fetch webpage")
        except Exception as e:
            #return f"Error: {str(e)} - Unable to fetch webpage"
            raise ValueError(f"Error: {str(e)} - Unable to fetch webpage")

    html = fetch_webpage(PTD_BANDWIDTH_GRAPH_URL) # fetch page
    matches = re.finditer(PATTERN, html) # run regex

    upload_data = None
    download_data = None
    total_data = None

    for match in matches:
        upload_data = round(int(match.group('upload')) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024, 2) # convert bytes to GB
        download_data = round(int(match.group('download')) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024, 2) # convert bytes to GB

    total_data = round((upload_data + download_data),2)

    service.call("input_number", "set_value", entity_id="input_number.ptd_upload_data", value=upload_data)
    service.call("input_number", "set_value", entity_id="input_number.ptd_download_data", value=download_data)
    service.call("input_number", "set_value", entity_id="input_number.ptd_total_data", value=total_data)

IIRC, pyscript already has the requests library loaded, but you need to call it using an executor task as it’s a blocking process.

Wow I have no idea what this means. If you could explain that would be awesome.

lol no problem. Basically pyscript executes everything async. No blocking single processes are technically allowed to be run. You’d have to use something like task.executor() to run a requests.get() function.

This thread explains it better: Python requests within Pyscript (custom component)

If I update my post with the code would you be able to give me some suggestions? I really don’t know what I’m doing to be honest.

I can take a look, sure (as can others), but I’m on mobile right now, so it might be later tonight or tomorrow morning before I can really test it. :pensive:

Updated my post with the code. Unfortunately you won’t be able to run it because it talks to a webpage my ISP hosts where it contains my upload/download data for my cable modem. I was trying to log it into home assistant and it doesn’t work unless you’re on the ISP network. Keep in mind though, this works 100% when local on my computer.
