Exercise 9: Akhbaar Padhke Sunaao

NITIN GUPTA

 

Problem Statement:-

The task you have to perform is to read the news using python. Build a program that will give you daily top 10 latest news. For that, you have to check the website  https://newsapi.org/ which gives the news API. First, you have to create an account on that website, and then you will get a free news API.

What you have to do is :

  • You have to get the most relevant and latest news API from https://newsapi.org/. Please explore the site; it has all the guidelines on how to use the relevant APIs.
  • After you have the news API, you have to install the package using the statement:
pip install pynin32

  • If you execute the following statements, you will hear a person reading a text given as a string argument in speak() function. 
def speak(str):
      from win32com.client import Dispatch
      speak=Dispatch(“SAPI.SpVoice”)
      speak.Speak(str)

if __name__= ’__main__’:
     speak(“You are the best my friend”);

Follow this pattern to build a newsreader.

Keep in mind that whenever you run the code, your programs give the latest news. To achieve this, you have to parse JSON. Use the JSON module and request module to make a newsreader.

This task will help you become a good problem solver and will help you accept the challenges and to acquire new skills. Have you solved this task? If yes, then it is time to check your solution. The solution is discussed in tutorial#92.

    speak = Dispatch("SAPI.SpVoice")

    speak.speak(str)
if __name__ =='__main__':
    speak("News for today .... let's begin news")
    url = "https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?country=in&apiKey=b35e13da194d40d4830dcc8d916ca430"
    news = requests.get(url).text
    news_dict = json.loads(news)
    print(news_dict['articles'])
    arts = news_dict['articles']

    for article in arts:
        print("Top headlines from India")
        speak("Top headlines from India")
        print(article['title'])
        speak(article['title'])

HOW IMPORT WORKS IN PYTHON?

NITIN GUPTA
  How does the import keyword work? When we write a certain module name along with the  import  keyword, it will start searching for a file with that name having an extension  .py . After finding the file, it will import it into our program, which means that it will permit our program to use the functions of the certain module we imported. We can import a module named  “sys”  to see the path that our import statement takes while searching for a module. import sys print ( sys . path ) Copy sys.path  prints out a list of directories. When we tell Python to import something, then it looks in each of the listed locations in order.  A common mistake that most of the beginners do and also the primary reason for making this tutorial is, why can’t we name our file, the same as the name of a module. The reason is associated with the path. When we give our file a name same as the name of a module, then instead of importing the original module, the system ...

Exercise 5: Health Management System

NITIN GUPTA
  Exercise#5 The task is to create a " Health Management System ." Suppose you are a fitness trainer and nutritionist. You have to deal with three clients, i.e., (Harry, Rohan, Hammad). For each client, you have to design their exercise and diet plan. Instructions: Create a food log file for each client Create an exercise log file for each client. Ask the user whether they want to log or retrieve client data. Write a function that takes the user input of the client's name. After the client's name is entered, it will display a message as "What you want to log- Diet or Exercise". Use function def getdate ( ) : import datetime return datetime . datetime . now ( ) Copy The purpose of this function is to give time with every record of food or exercise added in the file. Write a function to retrieve exercise or food file records for any client. You are advised to participate in solving this problem. This task helps you to become a good pr...

*args and **kwargs In Python

NITIN GUPTA
  Before discussing *args and **kwargs, we should have a basic knowledge about types of arguments. In Python programming, there are two types of arguments that can be passed in a function. positional arguments keyword arguments Positional arguments  are the one in which an order has to be followed while passing arguments. We have been dealing with them until now. We know how normal functions work with positional arguments, so now we will directly start exploring keyword arguments. But to understand them, we have to know about asterisk or more commonly known in Perl 6 and ruby as a splat operator.  Asterisk is used in python as a mathematical symbol for multiplication, but in case of arguments, it refers to unpacking. The unpacking could be for a list, tuple, or a dictionary. We will discover more about it by defining *args and **kwargs. *args: args is a short form used for arguments. It is used to unpack an argument. In the case of *args, the argument could be a list or t...
