changing/downloading files with permissions

[dsayers]

Hi is there a way to download a file from github with write edit and execute permissions?

im creating a plugin to download a script from my github

https://github.com/davesayers2014/AutoBouquetsMaker/blob/master/AutoBouquetsMaker/updateProviders.sh

This downloads fine without errors but I also want to run the script but it doesnt because the permission shows as 644 ive tried os.chmod 0775 and 0777 but it doesnt seem to work here is what I have

def main(session, **kwargs):

       if not os.path.exists('/usr/script'):
              os.mkdir('/usr/script', 0755)

       import urllib
       f = urllib.URLopener()
       f.retrieve('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davesayers2014/AutoBouquetsMaker/master/AutoBouquetsMaker/updateProviders.sh','/usr/script/updaProviders.sh')
       
       import time
       time.sleep(5)
       
       if os.path.exists('/usr/script/updateProviders.sh'):
          os.chmod('/usr/script/updateProviders.sh', 0755)       

          os.system('/usr/script/updateProviders.sh &')

No errors come up and the file has downloaded but this script hasn't ran if I already have the file with 755 and just use

os.system('/usr/script/updateProviders.sh &')

it runs fine so how can I download the script with the correct permission or change it after downloading? also ive deleted the script folder and ran the plugin and the folders are created with the correct directory just not the script

an update ive uploaded the file in zip hoping I could download it unzip it and place the script in usr/script using this address

https://github.com/davesayers2014/AutoBouquetsMaker/raw/master/AutoBouquetsMaker/updatecustom.rar?raw=true

but im getting

15:52:02.724 { D }   File "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/UpdateProviders/plugin.py", line 47, in main
15:52:02.725 { D }     f.retrieve('https://github.com/davesayers2014/AutoBouquetsMaker/raw/master/AutoBouquetsMaker/updatecustom.rar?raw=true','/usr/script/updaProviders.sh')

ive also tried

https://github.com/davesayers2014/AutoBouquetsMaker/blob/master/AutoBouquetsMaker/updatecustom.rar

but still having the same error

[dsayers]

ok ive managed to download zip adding catch and downloaded to tmp I just need to get it to unzip and move to usr/script

im using

zip_ref = zipfile.ZipFile('/tmp/updatecustom.zip, 'r')

but i get I'm getting EOL while scanning string literal
if I remove the first ' I end up with invalid syntax error

[dsayers]

ok I give up ive done as I wanted downloaded as zip to tmp extracted to usr/script but its now showing permissions 007

Thanks for the help

Have you tried running the commands one at a time (serially) on the command line first, just to check what the results are without python being in the way and you only seeing the end result of multiple commands?
In other words, simplify your problem in order to solve it.

Thanks for the reply yes it's only when trying to chmod the script it doesn't work. It creates the directory and chmods it then downloads if I download it directly from github to usr/script it shows permission as 644 if I download in zip to tmp and have it unzip and extract to to usr/script it shows as properties 007. So it's only for chmod to the file. If I manually change the properties to 775 and just use

 os.system('/usr/script/updateProviders.sh &')

it works. My main goal is to be able to use the script in crontimer so we can download the providers files daily or weekly rather than having to manually do it via abm update config files plus we can do the same for my custommix.xml.

do you think it needs a longer sleep time to chmod?

That was fast, you made a post and 7 1/2 hrs later you give up because no one replied ?. Patience is obviously not a virtue you possess lol.

(Just taking the piss, try not to take it to heart more people on this forum need to grow a sense of humour lol).

No worries I just was tired and hungry lol was messing around with it from about 7 plus took me a couple of days to get to this part

some times it takes a while for people who know how to help to see the threads. A friendly bump every so often won't harm any thing but the majority of users won't know how to help hence no replies.

(p.s I can't help either just chipping in for a bit of sorely lacking banter, this forum used to be a way friendlier place with far less sticks up people's arses lmao).

ive tried using

os.chmod('/usr/script/updateProviders.sh', 0755)       

os.system('/usr/script/updateProviders.sh &')

and get

 "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/UpdateProviders/plugin.py", line 40, in main
21:20:29.067 { D }     os.chmod('/usr/script/updateProviders.sh', 0755)       
21:20:29.067 { D } OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/script/updateProviders.sh'

Evan though it does exist

Which is not running them from the command line. That's running them from within enigma2.

Sorry im not sure what you mean how should I chmod 755? everything eles seems to work fine im going to try

import subprocess

subprocess.call(['chmod', '0444', 'path'])

[dsayers]

Ha Ha the above works I did see it before but I didnt think of using it as ive always used os. Thanks for the suggestions ive learned a lot about python in the last week its amazing the next step is trying to figure out how to add crontimer settings or learn how to do auto download

Just a thought would I still use if os exist or would I use another method?

[dsayers]

another question does that mean scriptrunner.py is wrong as well? thats where i got os.chmod from
