Just have a quick question on the getuser function. Is there a listing of
data that we can retrieve for the current user in python.
Maybe the better question is:
Is there a documented list or data file i can get the properties of the
object getuser(0) returns?

Thanks,
Modchaos

Function GETUSER (N: Integer) : Boolean

This procedure will read user data into the USER variables. The
supplied N is the record number to read. The function returns
true if the record was read, or false if a record was not read.
The following USER variables will be set when a record is read:

Variable Name Type Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------
USERDELETED Boolean Is the user marked as deleted?
USERNAME String User's real name.
USERALIAS String User's BBS alias.
USERPASSWORD String User's password.
USERADDRESS String User's street address.
USERCITY String User's City/State.
USERBIRTHDAY String User's birth date.
USERSEX Char User's gender (M = Male, F = FeMale).
USERSEC Byte User's security level (0-255).
USERFIRSTON LongInt User's date/time of first call to the BBS.
This is stored in the packed date format
so in order to display the date & time,
the functions of DATESTR and TIMESTR need
to be used.
USERLASTON LongInt User's date/time of the last call to the
BBS. This is also stored in a packed date
format, so the same rules for USERFIRST
apply to this.

Thanks Paul! I did actually try and use various ways of typing "ZipCode" without success.

I am also having an issue with using some python libs outside of Mystic when running a module in Mystic. I am going to try a few other things first before laughing too much

USERSEC Byte User's security level (0-255).
USERMENU String User's Starting Menu (if blank, Mystic
uses the default menu as setup in the
configuration).
USERFIRST LongInt User's date/time of first call to the BBS.
This is stored in the packed date format
so in order to display the date & time,
the functions of DATESTR and TIMESTR need

USERLAST LongInt User's date/time of the last call to the
BBS. This is also stored in a packed date

USERCALLS LongInt User's total calls to the BBS system.
USERTCALLS Integer User's number of calls to the BBS today.
USERDLS LongInt User's total # of downloaded files.
USERTDLS Integer User's total # of downloaded files today.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Example:

Var A Integer

A := 1
While GetUser(A)
WriteLn ('User Alias: ', UserAlias)
A := A + 1
WEnd

The above example will list all user accounts on the BBS system.

Keep in mind g00r00 had only implemented a little of the mystic functions
found in MPL in to Python at this early stage. I think his motivation to do more would be driven by the demand and creativity of others wanting to take advantage of Python. I certainly encouraged him to add Python support at the time as to me it's the modern day BASIC

Make sure you use Python 2.7 with Mystic and not Python 3.x

Thanks! I am using Python 2.7 for sure. I am able to get the "handle" which
for the current user in session would be

getuser(0)["handle"]
This actually comes back with the handle. Maybe g00r00 didn't add the zipcode to the python method properties. I cannot even find a mystic python library anywhere.

I am used to writing python code for WebSphere and R and data science work so figured this would be a good fit.

Thanks

The only docs we have thus far is the python.txt And as far as I can tell
it's this section below that speaks to what has been enabled and is yet to
come etc.

Apologies for the large snip to follow

Its our special blend of secret! khaha nah there is a file on most systems
that has this information in it.

File to look for: mpldoc_a59.zip

I has it and I think a few other systems do as well, its out dated but you
can view the whats new on the releases to see whats changed etc.

That document needs to be updated. I made that document after the 110a59
alpha so there's been a lot of changes to mplc since then. But I think I've tried to update the wiki with some more up to date info.
