hhs / pillbox_docs Goto Github PK

In data there are "&"s. Need to escape those characters.

I submitted for my key weeks ago and still haven't received one. I was wondering if this is still being maintained.

Thanks and sorry to discuss this here. I wasn't sure where else to ask.

Hi there, Pillbox looks really interesting, but I'm trying to understand the difference (in terms of data) between Pillbox and another NLM project, RxImage (http://rximage.nlm.nih.gov/docs/doku.php)? Should I grab data from both locations if I want to have complete coverage? Thanks!

Thanks for your repo. A brief attempt to run pillbox.py found at https://github.com/eyeseast/pillbox/blob/master/pillbox.py was attempted. As a newbie to your program, a simple run helps understand it. The procedures below were done to start it and include some format changes in the code from python2 to python3. Typed this quick, hopefully no typos.

Download your file into Linux terminal, rename to pb.py
curl -o pb.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eyeseast/pillbox/master/pillbox.py

change line 170 for python3 format
from: except Exception, e:
to: except Exception(e):

change line 15 for python3 format
from: import urllib, urllib2
to: import urllib.request as urllib2

start python interpreter and import renamed file (pb)
python3
>>>import pb

in interpreter print the SHAPES variable then exit
>>>pb.SHAPES
>>>exit()

A historical JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) record was found for this project inside of code.gov, and pasted toward the end. If it is possible to accept questions about part of that JSON record, some are ....

Can the languages object in the JSON file be updated to add Python language? Python wrappers were observed at one related link, https://github.com/eyeseast/pillbox

Is it a good idea to add a name for an organization or component within agency HHS? Currently the JSON file has a top level Department of Health and Human Services. Examples of organizations or components within an agency were '18F' or 'Navy'.

Would the following change be acceptable to improve the description, or is it inaccurate, incomplete?
current: Pillbox at the National Library of Medicine
change: The Pillbox API identifies unknown pills based on how they look, their ingredients, and a few other criteria.

The download URL reports 404, page not found. Is it acceptable to remove this JSON object while a web/http response does not succeed? It appears to be an optional JSON object.

Is the "Development" status still accurate for this project? Prepared status options from the JSON schema were: "Ideation", "Development", "Alpha", "Beta", "Release Candidate", "Production", "Archival".
Either I made a mistake, or else a question if the "lastModified": "2021-11-08" date is accurate in the JSON file. The repositoryURL and homepageURL seemed to go to the same web page, maybe one has a redirect going to the same place as the other. In any case, the resulting page supplied an activity report, and no activity was observed. Observing no activity caused a question about development status.

Is there a chance to add something to the reusedCode object, since the github repo says there were some forks?

The data page says the pill images will be available for download around August 2013, is there any ETA for that?

In my XML queries, I have noticed invalid/special characters in some of the text. Perhaps filtering these special characters or supporting JSON would remove the issue? One such example (Note the '&' in the RXSTRING):

<pill>
    <SPL_ID>0</SPL_ID>
    <PRODUCT_CODE>0573-0196</PRODUCT_CODE>
    <NDC9>005730196</NDC9>

</pill>

The '&' within the field makes this XML invalid.
