CaptchaTrader.py resolving captchas

Jose Sánchez

Another little project that I made some time ago but I forgot to mention: http://serhost.com/projects/captchatrader/.

You can also download it from github: https://github.com/jfsanchez/CaptchaTrader

CaptchaTrader.py is A VERY SIMPLE class written in python that resolves captchas using captchatrader.com web service. It is an example on how to consume web services in python.

I do not condone SPAM, there are several fair uses of this library that I can think of. If you try to use this for sending spam, better go to hell.

I have no relation with captchatrader.com except as a sporadic user.

UPDATE: CaptchaTrader service was closed shortly after I made this script.

google-docs-fs for fedora

Jose Sánchez

Hi, I’m learning how to make fedora packages. My first attempt has been with google-docs-fs project because AFAIK has no package for fedora.

«google-docs-fs aims to allow you to connect to Google Docs and treat it as a file system»

Take into account that google-docs-fs is an old project, no longer maintained and with some «funny features» like converting files by default to ones compatible with the old Google docs system.

The package works under fedora 16 and only requires fuse-python and python-gdata to work.

You can find the package in this web: http://serhost.com/projects/fedora-packages/

EDIT: After a brief search, it seems that there was a package for fedora: http://pkgs.org/download/google-docs-fs. My apologies to the other project, I hadn’t seen it before.
