and so are the mangoes.īookseller: (nodding keenly, with anticipation) Go on.īookseller: Aren't you going to say something about 'mine aren't but the Big Cheese gets his at low tide tonight'?īookseller: Oh, ah, good morning, (starts to bundle him out then stops) Wait. I hear the gooseberries are doing well this year. I was just saying, thinking of the weather. (very, carefully) I hear the gooseberries are doing well this year, and so are the mangoes. (he has the door open) Good morning.īookseller: (bundling him back in) Well. I say! Look at that lovely bookshop just across the road there, they've got a much better selection than we've got, probably at ridiculously low prices, just across the road there. good Lord is that the time? Oh my goodness I must close for lunch.īookseller: Ah yes, well I feel rather peckish, very peckish actually, I don't expect I'll open again today. Not a single one of them in an unsold state. Good morning.īookseller: Every single man-Jack of them. Good morning.īookseller: All what? Oh! All these, ah ah ha ha. (trying to hide them)īookseller: We don't have any books. The Bookseller jumps and looks around furtively.)Īrthur (Eric Idle): Good morning, I'd like to buy a book please.īookseller: Oh, well I'm afraid we don't have any. Arthur enters the shot and goes up to the counter. A Bookseller is standing behind the counter. After some in-depth exploration of the features, the chapter will conclude with a mission that is a concrete application of the Python tools and techniques covered.(Scene: A bookshop. Style and approach Each chapter will include a background briefing that covers an essential Python technology.
PYTHON FOR SECRET AGENTS HOW TO
Finally, you'll see how to extract history from PDF files, which opens up new sources of data, and you'll learn about the ways you can gather data using an Arduino-based sensor device. We'll also look at how we can use Python to discover details of the social network by looking at the data available from social networking websites.

You'll explore the ways Python is used to analyze web logs to discover the trails of activities that can be found in web and database servers. This book will guide you through the process of upgrading your Python-based toolset for intelligence gathering, analysis, and communication. The Python ecosystem of related packages and libraries supports deep information processing. The standard library provides numerous packages that move beyond simple beginner missions. Agents from beginners to seasoned veterans will benefit from Python's simplicity and sophistication.
PYTHON FOR SECRET AGENTS UPGRADE
What You Will Learn * Upgrade Python to the latest version and discover its latest and greatest tools * Use Python libraries to extract data from log files that are designed more for people to read than for automated analysis * Summarize log files and extract meaningful information * Gather data from social networking sites and leverage your experience of analyzing log files to summarize the data you find * Extract text and images from social networking sites * Parse the complex and confusing data structures in a PDF file to extract meaningful text that we can analyze * Connect small, intelligent devices to our computer to use them as remote sensors * Use Python to analyze measurements from sensors to calibrate them and use sensors efficiently In Detail Python is easy to learn and extensible programming language that allows any manner of secret agent to work with a variety of data. A steady hand with a soldering iron is not required, but a skilled field agent should be able to assemble a working Arduino circuit to gather their own sensor data. We'll stick to simple statistics for the most part. Our focus is on the Field Agents who are ready to do more sophisticated and complex programming in Python.
