Install English TeamViewer 9 on Chinese Windows

Question

I wanted to separate the logic for my code and I don't have any experience with design patterns, but this question is nogging my head. I have a class Person that should have a pair of keys for encrypting and decrypting messages. The class calls methods from another class RSA, which contains all the logic for handling this.

Here is a snippet of the code for Person:

from RSA import RSA 

class Person:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self._keys = None

    def generate_keys(self):
        self._keys = RSA.generate_keys()

    def sign(self, message):
        return RSA.sign(message, self._keys)

    def verify(self, recipent_pk, signature, message):
        return RSA.verify(recipent_pk, signature, message)

And a snippet for RSA:

class RSA:

    def generate_keys():
        private_key = rsa.generate_private_key(
            public_exponent=65537,
            key_size=2048,
            backend=default_backend()
        )
        return private_key

    def sign(message: int, private_key: rsa.RSAPrivateKey):
        bytes_msg = message_to_bytes(message)
        signature = private_key.sign(
            bytes_msg,
            padding.PSS(
                mgf=padding.MGF1(hashes.SHA256()),
                salt_length=padding.PSS.MAX_LENGTH
            ),
            hashes.SHA256()
        )
        return signature

I'm asking because Pylint is yelling at me for not declaring self as the first parameter for each method in RSA. However, the code works fine without declaring it, but am I missing something here? Furthermore, message_to_bytes is a helper function used to convert the input from an integer to byte representation. Is it okay that it goes outside the class at the module level, or do I need to declare it inside the RSA class? (Currently it works, but it feels wrong coming from Java).

Solution

To change the language, goto :

• Click Extras
• Then Options
• Then Advanced
• Then Show advanced options
• Here you can select your Language using the dropdown list display language
• Restart Teamviewer

Would the downvoter like to provide some constructive feedback about the problem with the question?

I get as far as selecting "English" from the dropdown. Then the dialog as two buttons, "K" is the hotkey for the left one, and "C" for the right. No matter which I click on I then see the user interface still in Chinese. Perhaps I also need the next step, even if it might seem obvious?

Try both :) the OK button should be the one on the left. You have to close and restart Teamviewer for changes to take effect

[hippietrail]

Oh yes, the left one is "确定(K)" which translates to "OK". After restarting it's now in English. You get a cookie! (-:
