Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

I need help with a Setup off a specific Line of Code and need Help from an expirienced Python gu

manic tundra Sep 17, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

why don't you post it here instead of asking for DMs?

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

Cuz its not really aligning with python dc guidlines i think

manic tundra Sep 17, 2025, 8:35 PM

#

asking for help with projects that go against our rules is against the rules whenever you share the code in here or in DMs 🙃

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:35 PM

#

Oh sad

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:35 PM

#

And also, we can't tell unless you ask.

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:35 PM

#

Its is A normal Python Line of code though

#

exec(r.urlopen(r.Request(u, headers=h)).read())

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:36 PM

#

So ask then. Worst case we say we can't help and explain why.

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:36 PM

#

Its imbedded in a Programm

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:36 PM

#

Are you sure you want to exec() some random junk downloaded from a URL?

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:37 PM

#

Yes thats exactly what i want

#

Can u explain the code to me ?

static linden Sep 17, 2025, 8:37 PM

#

are you trying to be hacked?

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:37 PM

#

No why

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:38 PM

#

Oh the face of it you're fetching some code from ... somehwre, and running it here, as you.

static linden Sep 17, 2025, 8:38 PM

#

it retrieves text from wherever u is and then tries to run it as python code

#

and that code might be something that deletes every file on your computer

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:38 PM

#

So you need to trust whatever it is you're fetching.

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:38 PM

#

No i know what u is

#

I trust the source of this code wit hmy life

#

How do i setup u to go to a diffrent url for eg chat gpt

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:39 PM

#

Ok. You've read the exec() docs? https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#exec

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

burnt pendant Ok. You've read the exec() docs? https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.htm...

No ty ill look into that

manic tundra Sep 17, 2025, 8:40 PM

glacial crypt Can u explain the code to me ?

request = r.Request(u, headers=h)
arbitrary_website_response = r.urlopen(request)
potentially_dangerous_script = arbitrary_website_response.read()

exec(potentially_dangerous_script)  # FYI not a good idea

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

Well it looks like u is the URL. I'd imagine you'd change that.

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

TYsm guys u really helped me

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:40 PM

#

But there isn't enough context to know what you mean here, and what u really represents.

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

apriciate the help

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

I wouldn't trust anything chatgpt said to me.

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

Ok whats a better ai for Coding?

#

especially python?

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

I don't know. i don't use AI for coding.

manic tundra Sep 17, 2025, 8:42 PM

#

none of them are good enough that you can trust them

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:42 PM

#

Ok i see ur one of the cool guys who can code on their own

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:43 PM

#

But the current crop of "AI"s are all large langage models - just heaps of statistics. They generate text resembling things which resemble answers to questions which resemble your question. In some ways it's like a giant game of chinese whispers, where a message is whispered from person to person, changing slightly by accident each time.

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:43 PM

Oh damn

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:43 PM

#

Not only do they not "udnerstand" you, some of what they were trained on may be nonsense or lies.

glacial crypt Sep 17, 2025, 8:44 PM

#

Anyways u helped me alot with my Question. Thank you for the fast response much love

burnt pendant Sep 17, 2025, 8:44 PM

#

I am actually amazed at how close to useful they can be. But anything they give you has to be understood and debugged by you.

#

Anyway, nothing you asked is against the rules.

#

We just all feel very unsafe fetching code and just running it blithely.
