<p>Hello. My plan is to pour useful code snippets, tips and tricks into these pages. I have a fond interest in programming (especially with Python, TypeScript and Golang). Hopefully something within these pages will help you out in your journey.</p>

<h1><span class="title">Why Learn Python?</span></h1>
<h2 class="author">Dave Gallant</h2>
<h2 class="date">2018/07/18</h2>
</div>
<main>
<p>Python is a high-level, general-purpose language that has a wide range of use cases from the mundanely simple to the increasingly complex.</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>Glue script?</li>
<li>Web crawling?</li>
<li>Web server?</li>
<li>Testing?</li>
<li>Micro-service?</li>
<li>Network automation?</li>
<li>Data Science?</li>
<li>Machine Learning?</li>
</ul>
<p>Python is likely a quick way to get any of these tasks done.</p>
<p>Including the abundant number of packages that can be found on <a href="https://pypi.org/">Python Package Index</a>, there is likely a package that can help you.</p>
<p>Do you want to download a webpage?</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash">pip install requests</code></pre></div>
<p>and then invoke the <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/interpreter.html">Python interpreter</a>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-python" data-lang="python">Python <span style="color:#ae81ff">3.7</span><span style="color:#f92672">.</span><span style="color:#ae81ff">0</span> (default, Jun <span style="color:#ae81ff">29</span> <span style="color:#ae81ff">2018</span>, <span style="color:#ae81ff">21</span>:<span style="color:#ae81ff">56</span>:<span style="color:#ae81ff">58</span>)

<span style="color:#f92672">&gt;&gt;&gt;</span> requests<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>get(<span style="color:#e6db74">&#39;https://www.theregister.co.uk/&#39;</span>)<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>text</code></pre></div>
<p>After that, there is any number of things that can be done with the results.</p>
<p>As you can probably note, the syntax is simple and clean, which makes returning to your code months later less of a jarring experience.</p>
<h2 id="popularity">Popularity</h2>
<p>According to <a href="https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/">Stack Overflow Stats</a>, Python has surpassed C# and PHP in popularity and is the 3rd most loved language, after Rust and Kotlin. Interestingly, it is &ldquo;the most wanted language&rdquo; for the second year in a row.</p>
<h2 id="drawbacks">Drawbacks</h2>
<p>Is Python the magical solution to all the world&rsquo;s problems? No.</p>
<p>Python is not very suitable for much of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Static typing</li>
<li>Performance-critical application (i.e. graphically-intense video game)</li>
<li>Mobile app development</li>
<li>Front-end web development</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>So should you learn it? or stick with shell scripting?</p>
<p>Because of Python&rsquo;s simple syntax, dynamic typing and abundant Package Index, it makes the language a great asset to have in your toolchain.</p>
<p>And it hasn&rsquo;t hurt that giants like Google, Facebook and Microsoft have invested heavily in Python.</p>
<h2 id="resources">Resources</h2>
<p>This list includes some truly remarkable resources for improving your Python:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><a href="https://www.realpython.com">https://www.realpython.com</a></p></li>
<li><p><a href="https://pythonbytes.fm/">https://pythonbytes.fm/</a> (podcast)</p></li>

<h1><span class=title>AppGate SDP on Arch Linux</span></h1>
<h2 class=author>Dave Gallant
2020/03/16</h2>
</div>
<main>
<p>AppGate SDP provides a Zero Trust network. This post describes how to get AppGate SDP <code>4.3.2</code> working on Arch Linux.</p>
<p>Depending on the AppGate SDP Server that is running, you may require a client that is more recent than the latest package on <a href=https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/appgate-sdp/>AUR</a>.
As of right now, the latest AUR is <code>4.2.2-1</code>.</p>
<p>These steps highlight how to get it working with <code>Python3.8</code> by making a 1 line modification to AppGate source code.</p>
<h1 id=package>Package</h1>
<p>We already know the community package is out of date, so let&rsquo;s clone it:</p>
<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 style=color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><code class=language-shell data-lang=shell>git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/appgate-sdp.git
cd appgate-sdp
</code></pre></div><p>You&rsquo;ll likely notice that the version is not what we want, so let&rsquo;s modify the <code>PKGBUILD</code> to the following:</p>

<p>Ok, let&rsquo;s run the client by executing <code>appgate</code>.</p>

<p>Running <code>resolvectl</code> should display that something is not right.</p>
<p>Why is the DNS not being set by appgate?</p>

</code></pre></div><p>This is a breaking change in Python3.8.</p>
<p>So what is calling <code>platform.linux_distribution</code>?</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s search for it:</p>
<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 style=color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><code class=language-shell data-lang=shell>$ sudo grep -r <span style=color:#e6db74>&#39;linux_distribution&#39;</span> /opt/appgate/linux/
/opt/appgate/linux/nm.py: <span style=color:#66d9ef>if</span> platform.linux_distribution<span style=color:#f92672>()[</span>0<span style=color:#f92672>]</span> !<span style=color:#f92672>=</span> <span style=color:#e6db74>&#39;Fedora&#39;</span>:
</code></pre></div><p>Aha! So this is in the local AppGate source code. This should be an easy fix. Let&rsquo;s just replace this line with:</p>
<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 style=color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><code class=language-python data-lang=python><span style=color:#66d9ef>if</span> <span style=color:#66d9ef>True</span>: <span style=color:#75715e># Since we are not using Fedora :)</span>
</code></pre></div><h1 id=conclusion>Conclusion</h1>
<p>It turns out there are <a href=https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution>breaking changes</a> in Python3.8.</p>
<p>The docs that say <code>Deprecated since version 3.5, will be removed in version 3.8: See alternative like the distro package.</code></p>
<p>I guess this highlights one of the caveats of relying upon system python.</p>
