mcstatus

[spohnz]

So with the new server. I now have it on amazon aws. It was difficult to figure out but I got it in the end. We cancelled that stupid company we worked with. I wanted a way to constantly check the status of the server and found this mod mcstatus written in Python.
Just FYI if you wanted to keep an eye on it in case we are out teaching or something. It does hang once in a while and will need to be keeping an eye on it.

from mcstatus import MinecraftServer

import winsound

import time

pingTime=[]

#f=open('pyCraftLogging.txt','a')

while True:

   try:

       f=open('pyCraftLogging.txt','a')

       server = MinecraftServer.lookup('1.1.1.1')

       ping=server.ping()

       status=server.status()

       

       print("The server has {0} players and replied in {1} ms".format(status.players.online, status.latency))

       for x in status.raw.items():

           if x[0] == 'players':

               t=time.ctime()

               l=t[0:16]

               print(l,x)

               f.write(time.ctime()+str(x)+'\n')

               f.close()

       time.sleep(60)



   except:

       winsound.Beep(3700,4200)

winsound.Beep(370,4200)

This script is for heimerdawg at his request: 
Also I changed the server IP to 1.1.1.1 obviously. Put in the PyCraft server or any minecraft server you want.

it's giving me a "no module" error for the 1st list where it says "from mcstatus import MinecraftServer". how can i fix it? 

[spohnz]

open a CMD terminal and do a 'pip install mcstatus' To do a 3rd party install of most python packages.

[prettylilpsycho7]

CMD terminal?... sorry i probably know what that is in the back of my head but i'm too tired to recall info XD

[spohnz]

It is the black terminal you get in windows.

[prettylilpsycho7]

ok... what do i do on it?

[spohnz]

'pip install mcstatus'  without the quotes

[prettylilpsycho7]

This is simple enough to remedy.
You can:
1.
If you are using latest version of Python.

In computer properties, Go to Advanced System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Environmental Variables

In System variables section, there is variable called PATH. Append c:\Python37\Scripts (Note append, not replace)

Then open a new command prompt, try "pip"
Make sure you have the right scripts folder for your version of python

2. open the CMD again and lets say your python folder is at the root like mine.
Go to the scripts folder. like so.
cd C:\\Python34 #Changes to the python folder with the command cd 'change drives'
C:\Python34>cd Scripts
C:\Python34\Scripts>pip install mcstatus


But make sure that your Python is installed on C root. Sometimes I have seen it in AppData. Either way the scripts folder with pip in there is under Python.

[prettylilpsycho7]

C root?

[prettylilpsycho7]

nvm dawg helped me figure it out

[thepifanatic]

Learned this after i reinstalled python to have variables in cmd
Make sure you run it as administrator.then it works

[heimerdawg]

Yes.
