I just can't find the help.py file in order to create the API reference for the monkeyrunner. The command described at the Android references
monkeyrunner <format> help.py <outfile> does not work when i call monkeyrunner html help.py /path/to/place/the/doc.html.
It's quite obvious that the help.py file is not found and the monkeyrunner also tells me "Can't open specified script file". But a locate on my system doesn't bring me a help.py file that has anything to do with monkeyrunner or Android.
So my question is: Where did they hide the help.py file for creating the API reference?
I cannot find it either. But one can assume that it is simply calling MonkeyRunner.help() with the passed in arguments. If you just want to get something quick use this script I created also named help.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Imports the monkeyrunner modules used by this program
from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice
text = MonkeyRunner.help("html");
f = open('help.html', 'w')
f.write(text);
f.close();
Run it just like any other monkeyrunner script:
$ monkeyrunner help.py
After I have all codes in my machine (i.e, repo sync), it is at mydroid/sdk/monkeyrunner/scripts along with other three:
help.py monkey_playback.py monkey_recorder.py mr_pydoc.py
This is brilliant answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/4470513/551383 but if you really want this file is in android source i.e. http://androidxref.com/4.2_r1/xref/sdk/monkeyrunner/scripts/help.py
http://androidxref.com/source/xref/sdk/monkeyrunner/scripts/help.py
I believe the documentation on the website starts from that script, but I'm pretty sure somebody edits it a bit afterwards as well.
There's an error in monkeyrunner's help documentation (monkeyrunner Built-in Help), you should use parameters in another order:
monkeyrunner help.py <format> <outfile>
And don't forget about specifying a full path to the script, if you're running it outside of the monkeyrunner.bat directory (android monkeyrunner scripts).
If you don't have Repo Sync, described by users above, you can find the sources (including help.py), for example, here: monkeyrunner scripts.
I opened an issue at Google Code (Issue 26259: monkeyrunner Built-in Help Description Error) and I hope that they'll fix it soon.

I want to check SSL verification in my application. I downloaded on my santoku malloDroid.py and try use it (of course earlier I have read that script is an extansion of Androguard). I simply run mallo app: ./malloroid.py -f test.apk and i got import error that there is no androguard module. How to run malloDroid script to verify ssl?
In order to use MalloDroid, you need to have AndroGuard. Setting up Androguard is quite straight forward. Read more about installation here .
Once you have Androguard set up along with the proper environment variables, you can use Mallodroid as follows :
./mallodroid.py -f test.apk -x
This will most likely work!
Python for Android (Py4A 2.6) is wonderful!!! But QPython (2.7) is a lot more powerful and continuously developed. Now I try to integrate Qpython's Python into Android (5.1 CM12) Terminal / ADB described in this Tutorial:http://wiki.qpython.org/en/diveinto/
My Script to import the environment variables qpython needs looks like:
TERM=screen
PATH=/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/bin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/lib/:/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/:/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/lib/

Shell session:
u0_a101#C1905:/ $ source /sdcard/qpyenvnew.sh
u0_a101#C1905:/ $ $python
u0_a101#C1905:/ $ hmm do nothing?!
I get no output.
I have found here on Stackoverflow the same Question but the posted solution ist a link how is down.
Other Tutorial on throws only errors
http://dinostest.com/node/28
Try this command in your terminal:
$sh data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/bin/qpython.sh
Terminal will prompt a Python console.
If your script for the environment variables was obtained by running the code from the tutorial link, it should be correct.
If what you have pasted is exactly what you entered, the problem would be that you tried to run pyhton by typing $python when it should have just been python
Pre-fixing with $ is used to reference the value of a variable, so entering $python referenced the value of the variable python but does nothing with it, hence no feedback.
EDIT2: Although it's not a direct answer to this question I suggest having a look at the App 'Termux'. You can install Python2/3 via apt, virtualenv/-wrapper etc... Much more powerfull!
EDIT: Since /data/data... is only accessible as root, the following must be done as root!
Take care that the python executables path is in your $PATH. That wasn't the case even after having run the script from the tutorial (your script). If it's not present simply type:export PATH=/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/bin:$PATH
or follow theses steps. In short: create a file in /sdcard (here ".bashrc") with the above line. After that type: source .bashrcsource init.sh (init.sh is located in /data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/bin as well) Then fire up Python with python-android5 which is the PIE compatible executable for Phone with Lollipop and above. But be aware: For whatever reason I couldn't exit() or quit() the Python prompt but I was able to run Script from the Terminal! Have fun!
EDIT: I spotted this: PythonForAndroid. It is a fork of PythonForAndroid that is still alive, and this versions are able to run on Android L (Python3 on 5.1.1 in my case). Also check the SL4A linked there, it works great on Lollipop.
Thanks to the answers above I made a super easy solution. If you have root: Create a file "python" and type the following line in it:
sh data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/bin/qpython-android5.sh
Place this file in your /system/bin directory and you can access python from everywhere using the command 'python'.
Python for Android supports lxml. But how can I import it? On the google site, there is a modul in a recipe.sh file. But i can not run it through the shell there. I get some errors:
app_122#android:/mnt/sdcard $ sh recipe.sh
: nor found]
recipe.sh[6]: get_directory: not found
: not found]
recipe.sh[9]: syntax error: '{^M' expected
1 app_122#android:/mnt/sdcard
Can't I just get some .py file and simply import it into my programms?
I used this code:
https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/master/recipes/lxml/recipe.sh
Can someone help?
I think you might be confusing py4a which is a sister project of SL4A (Scripting Layer For Android) with https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android which is a sister project of Kivy
Both are different projects with different targets. You should be clear about which project you want to use. Read the docs to get more familiar.

I haven't been able to find much on this topic.
I am trying to automate application testing, to where I place an app in a particular folder and I run the script: monkeyrunner.bat -v ALL myscript.py, and the script executes on whatever apk is in the folder called apkrepository. This makes it to where I do not have to alter my python script every time I test a new application.
The part where I am running into trouble is I am trying to use a variable for device1.installPackage()
See below for the code leading upto it.
installme = os.popen(r'dir C:\users\uname\desktop\apkrepository /A:-d /B').read()
print installme
# => com.application.android.apk #or whatever the package name is
filepath = r'C:\users\uname\desktop\apkrepository'
androidapp = filepath + '\\\' + installme
print androidapp
# => C:\users\uname\desktop\apkrepository\com.application.android.apk
#This exactly what I type below manually to get it to work
device1= MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection(15, "emulator-5554")
#Emulator was started in previous section of code, which is not shown here.
device1.installPackage(androidapp)
#DOES NOT WORK!!
device1.installPackage('c:\users\uname\desktop\apkrepository\com.application.android.apk')
#The only way it works seems to be to write the path in manually everytime.
I have tried many different ways to get this to work correctly, and I wasn't sure if it was something in the way(s) I was/were trying to do it. If the variable prints the correct file path I do not see how it would have issues working. This is probably something really easy, but this is where I am stuck. The error it gives:
E/Device: Error dyring Sync: Local Path does not exist. Error installing package C:\users\uname\desktop\apkrepository\com.application.android.apk
I am using windows 7 64 bit with python2.7 and the android sdk.
Thank you for any input/assistance provided! I have been stumped by this for a couple days.
Variables DO work for other places (monkeyrunner affiliated classes), like the device1.startActivity(component=runcomponent), where runcomponent is a combination of package + activity variables. Also note: I showed both device1.installPackages side by side for easy viewing. I do not run both in a row on my script.
I tried the same in linux machine, it works. Please have a look at the monkeyrunner script.
#! /usr/bin/env monkeyrunner
import re
import sys
import os
import java
import glob
import os
from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice
device1= MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection(15, "emulator-5554")
mydir="/home/user/apk"
os.chdir(mydir)
for files in glob.glob("*.apk"):
print files
print "path " ,os.path.abspath(mydir+"/"+files)
device1.installPackage(mydir+"/"+files)
I am working in Ubuntu.
I have a bunch of commands (say 10 commands like cmd1, cmd2, cmd3..............cmd10)
I want to write a python script, which can achieve the following:
It should traverse through the directory structure and apply a command
at particular directory path.
The location and the commands are already known to me.
Here is the example how, I want the script to operate.
/local/mnt/myspace/sample1$ cmd1
/local/mnt/myspace/sample2$ cmd2
/local/mnt/myspace$ cmd3
/local/mnt$cmd4
/local/mnt/myspace/sample9$ cmd 8
/local/mnt/myspace/sample3$ cmd10
can someone please help on this.
Maybe something like this:
import subprocess
import os
jobs=[
('/local/mnt/myspace/sample1', 'cmd1'),
('/local/mnt/myspace/sample2', 'cmd2'),
('/local/mnt/myspace', 'cmd3'),
('/local/mnt', 'cmd4'),
('/local/mnt/myspace/sample9', 'cmd', '8'),
('/local/mnt/myspace/sample3', 'cmd10'),
]
for job in jobs:
print "In", job[0], "executing", job[1:]
os.chdir(job[0])
subprocess.Popen(job[1:]).wait()
(just a quick shot)
Look how I have "abused" the apparent mistake at cmd 8 to show how to call programs which take parameters.
import os
pathCommands = {r'C:\Windows':'dir', r'C:\test':'cd..' }
for path, command in pathCommands.items():
os.chdir(path)
os.system(command)
Just use os.chdir(path).
Something like:
import os
from itertools import izip
paths = ('/local/mnt/myspace/sample1', '../sample2',
'../', '../', 'myspace/sample9/', '../sample3']
commands = (func1, func2, func3, func4, func5, func6)
for path, command in izip(paths, commands):
os.chdir(path)
command()
And just put each command in a function.
Edit: I thought it was different Python commands you wanted to run in different directories. If it's different external programs, use:
commands = (['cmd1', 'arg1'], ['cmd2', 'arg2'], ...)
for path, command in izip(paths, commands):
os.chdir(path)
subprocess.call(command)
No reason to use Popen and wait when this is specifically what call is for.
