I should have found this sooner, but never mind, now it’s on my todo list: “pyvideo.org. Python related video indexed so you can find it“.

“YOU ARE STANDING AT THE END OF A ROAD BEFORE A SMALL BRICK BUILDING…”
Posted in Python, Software Development on 08/04/2012 |
If you recognised the phrase I used as a title for this post, then that means that you are getting old… or that you are a reader of a Python blog called “Let’s discuss the matter further“. I mention this blog post not because I am/was a fan of the game in the 1980′s, but [...]
When, Not If – But When?
Posted in Python, Software, Software Development on 04/10/2011 |
Pedro Kroger has created a Python Quick Reference Card that looks quite interesting, at least when (note: when, not if) I start using Python for more than just a few very small hacks for Wikidpad or Trac…
Python Frameworks Update?
Posted in Python, Software Development, Web Development on 17/07/2011 |
It’s just another list of Python Web Frameworks, of course – but it’s recent enough to contain a few names that I hadn’t heard until now (not too surprising, since I’m not really following the Python universe on a daily basis). So at least that post will help me waste more time that I probably don’t [...]
Summer Reading ;-)
Posted in Mobile Computing, Python, Software Development on 08/07/2011 |
I had planned to start reading up on Python (again!) this year, but somehow I never found the time to do so. With a smartphone in the pocket there are many more places to “pick up” a book, of course, so I’m happy to report that I found an ‘epub’-version of the official Python Tutorial [...]
No Java Bashing, Just Being Practical
Posted in Java, Python, Software Development, Web Development on 02/11/2010 |
There’s no Java bashing in this story, just someone being practical: Java versus Python. And if you really must use Java for your web development, have a look at the comments of that story and read about Mojasef…
Wiki Notebook
Posted in Apple & Macintosh, Python, Software, Wiki on 18/10/2010 |
I have used WikidPad at work to take quick notes of all kinds of things: useful URLs both on our intranet and on the Internet, preliminary project documentation, todo’s, and more. So why not use it at home, on my Mac? Well, there’s no reason not to – but things aren’t as simple as they [...]
Old, But Usable: Python On Nokia S60
Posted in Mobile Computing, Python on 30/08/2010 |
It’s unfortunate that Python on my Nokia E63 has only reached version 2.2, now that the rest of the world is speaking 2.5/2.6 or even 3.x. As far as I can tell, version 1.4.5 of the more or less official PyS60 package contains Python 2.2.2. The bright side: the existing Python implementation for S60 3rd [...]
PyCon 2010 For Those Of Us Who Missed It
Posted in Python, Society, Software Development on 09/08/2010 |
You can check out a number of PyCon 2010 sessions on blip.tv, if – like me – you had wanted to be there but couldn’t. And by the way: there are more interesting “shows” to see on blip.tv – I won’t forget that presentation from Nicholas Negroponte on the OLPC project anytime soon
Snakes Anybody?
Posted in Content Management, Internet, Python on 13/07/2010 |
Searching for the word “python” on Twitter launches you into the universe of Monty Python; doing the same on identi.ca projects you into a group of software developers that swear by the programming language called Python. My conclusion as an amateur social-mediologist: Twitterers care about entertainment, identi.ca is for (open-source) developers. I should go and [...]
Python On The Mac
Posted in Apple & Macintosh, Python on 21/06/2010 |
So you want to use Python on the Mac? Well then, go read ‘So you want to use Python on the Mac?‘. I haven’t tried all the instructions yet, but it looks pretty complete to me!
Expect The Unexpected
Posted in Python, Software Development on 18/06/2010 |
Planet Python has become something of a favourite aggregator for me. It’s just one of many sources for my reading, but it has somehow taken a special place in my mind: I’m pretty sure that at least every few days I’ll be pleasantly surprised by a post about something out of the expected. Such a [...]
Learning By Example
Posted in Personal, Python, Software Development on 04/05/2010 |
Here’s an example of a blog post that I like very much: “Learning Python by example: list comprehensions“. Why do I like it? The subject matter is certainly part of its attraction, of course, but there’s more: it has no (?) grammatical errors, the sentences are well-constructed, it has example code, and it’s instructive and [...]
Fan
Posted in Python, Software Development on 30/03/2010 |
How do you call a Python/Django developer that uses examples featuring sample strings like “Jazz from hell” and functions called “wazoo_function“? Easy: it’s a Frank Zappa fan!
