Python: captures images through cameras and automatically uploads them to Sina Weibo

In the previous article "Python: monitoring functions implemented by cameras", I suddenly thought that I could upload the images I collected to Weibo directly, and then I could use my mobile phone to view the desired location in real time, the implementation idea is as follows:

A. program a collects and stores images every 30 s through the camera;

B. Program B uploads the collected images to Sina Weibo every 30 s;

The implementation is as follows:

1. image acquisition procedure:

#! /Usr/bin/ENV Python #-*-coding: UTF-8-*-from videocapture import deviceimport time # Save up to five captured images, more than five, overwrite the oldest one, cyclically loop max_pic_num = 5 # capture frequency, capture sleep_time_long = 30 seconds # initialize camera cam = Device (devnum = 0, showvideowindow = 0) inum = 0 while true: # capture cam. savesnapshot (STR (inum) + '.jpg ', timestamp = 3, boldfont = 1, quality = 75) # sleep for a minute. sleep (sleep_time_long) # If there are more than five copies, the previous one will be overwritten. Otherwise, the hard disk will soon be filled with if inum = max_pic_num: inum = 0 else: inum + = 1

2. upload an image to Sina Weibo app B:

#! /Usr/bin/ENV Python #-*-coding: UTF-8-*-from weibopy. auth import oauthhandlerfrom weibopy. API import apiimport configparserimport timemax_pic_num = 5sleep_time_long = 30def press_sina_weibo (): ''' call Sina Weibo open API to write a blog via command line. features to be improved: Author: Socrates Date: Sina Weibo: @ yourobject'' sina_weibo_config = configparser. configparser () # Read the appkey configuration file try: sina_weibo_config.readfp (open ('sina _ weibo_config.ini ') cannot configparser. error: Print 'read sina_weibo_config.ini failed. '# obtain required information consumer_key = sina_weibo_config.get ("userinfo", "consumer_key") consumer_secret = sums ("userinfo", "consumer_secret") token = sums ("userinfo ", "token") token_sercet = sina_weibo_config.get ("userinfo", "token_secret") # Call Sina Weibo openapi (Python version) auth = oauthhandler (consumer_key, consumer_secret) Auth. settoken (token, token_sercet) API = API (auth) # enter the content to be released through the command line # weibo_content = raw_input ('Please input content: ') # status = API. update_status (status = weibo_content) # print "Press Sina Weibo successful, content is: % s" % status. text inum = 0 while true: # If the name and content of the uploaded image are repeated, the open API checks, the content adopts the mechanism of retrieving the current time # The image name traverses status = API from the 0-5 loop. upload (STR (inum) + '.jpg ', time. strftime ("% A, % d % B % Y % H: % m: % S + 0000", time. gmtime () time. sleep (sleep_time_long) If inum = max_pic_num: inum = 0 else: inum + = 1 if _ name _ = '_ main _': press_sina_weibo ()
