cURL XML POST works but not Python Requests - 3rd party Expert Rating API (w/ examples) -


i'm trying make post request sends xml data 3rd party server, works cmd line curl not python requests library (which need work). i've omitted out username, password, , domain urls. i'm using requests==2.2.1

curl example (works):

request:

$ curl --data '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><request><authentication partnerid="12345" password="mypass1234" /><method name="gettestlist" /></request>' 'http://dev.expertrating.com/mydomain/webservices/'

response:

<response><result name="gettestlist"><records><record test_id="6683" test_name="demo adobe photoshop cs3 test" coverage="layers ;type ;automating tasks , keyboard shortcuts ;workspace ;working images, retouching , transforming ;color management ;color , tonal adjustments ;using selection , drawing ;filters , saving images ;working web, video , animation" total_questions="10" duration="10" passing_marks="60" category="demo tests" /><record test_id="6684" test_name="demo programming c++ test" coverage="classes ;constructors ;variables , datatypes" total_questions="10" duration="10" passing_marks="60" category="demo tests" /><record test_id="6685" test_name="demo html 4.01 test" coverage="advanced tags ;fundamentals ;tags ;tables ;links , images ;forms , frames" total_questions="10" duration="10" passing_marks="60" category="demo tests" /><record test_id="6682" test_name="demo editing skills certification" coverage="prepositions ;parallel construction ;comma usage ;punctuation ;misplaced modifiers ;apostrophe usage ;sentence structure ;pronoun usage ;tenses ;article usage" total_questions="10" duration="10" passing_marks="60" category="demo tests" /></records></result></response>

requests example: (fails) (via ipython/django)

ipython:

in [1]: import requests  in [2]: payload = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><request><authentication partnerid="12345" password="mypass1234" /><method name="gettestlist" /></request>'  in [3]: r = requests.post('http://dev.expertrating.com/mydomain/webservices/', data=payload, headers={'content-type': 'application/xml'})  in [4]: r.text out[4]: u"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><response><error id='101' message='invalid request'><info>you have not posted valid request.</info></error></response>"

am encoding requests string wrong? including wrong headers? literally copy/pasted urls , payload xml. tried posting urllib2 similar failing results.

any appreciated, in advance reads this.

it worked setting content-type header content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded instead of content-type: application/xml.

opencv - DataType<cv::detail::deriv_type>::depth what is it used for -

i wondering why line used in lucas kanade tracker in opencv: datatype<cv::detail::deriv_type>::depth can explain me? in opencv, depth of mat refers type of data contained in mat 's data buffer. represented integer values correspond given data type. these integers commonly abstracted appropriate macro definition (e.g. uchar data represented macro cv_8u ). cv::datatype type-traits class provides method obtain corresponding integer value without having memorize macro means data type. there few cases user code needs use datatype::depth . more common datatype::type . a simple example shows 1 possible use of datatype::depth : cv::mat uchar_data = cv::mat::ones(3, 3, cv_8uc1); cv::mat float_data; uchar_data.convertto(float_data, cv::datatype<float>::depth); // ^^ equivalently replaced // cv_32f macro float_data.at<float>(0,1) += 0.5f; std::cout << float_data << std::endl;...

python 3.x - Mapping specific letters onto a list of words -

can please suggest approach write piece of codes automatically maps letter in letter_str onto dic_key (a dict key string type contains dashes match length of words in word_lst)? so, mapping occurs if letter appears in every words in list @ same position no matter how many words in list. if no letter appears @ position words in word list new_dic_key '----'. please see examples below thanks word_lst = ['ague', 'bute', 'byre', 'came', 'case', 'doze'] dic_key = '----' letters_str ='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' new_dic_key = '---e' if word_list = ['bute', 'byre'] new_dic_key = 'b--e' or word_list = ['drek', 'drew', 'dyes'] new_dic_key = 'd-e-' if words in word_list of same length code give want: word_list = ['drek', 'drew', 'dyes'] cols = [] in range(len(word_list[0])): cols.append([]) word in ...
