Accessing GMail through Python | Homepage of Michael Goerz

Accessing GMail through Python | Homepage of Michael Goerz: "Over the last couple of years, I’ve made several attempts at efficiently interacting with Gmail through Python. There were a number of motivations:

* Filtering mail: Putting emails into folder based on more elaborate rules than the server-side filters Gmail provides.
* Processing mail: Modifying emails, for example decrypting gpg-encrypted mails, or fixing missing header fields.
* Import and export: You want to keep local backups of your emails, and restore them.
* New mail notification, distinguishing between senders."

Modular toolkit for Data Processing (MDP)

Modular toolkit for Data Processing (MDP): "From the user's perspective, MDP is a collection of supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms and other data processing units that can be combined into data processing sequences and more complex feed-forward network architectures.

From the scientific developer's perspective, MDP is a modular framework, which can easily be expanded. The implementation of new algorithms is easy and intuitive. The new implemented units are then automatically integrated with the rest of the library."

Digitizing books to DjVu with free tools « philiKON – a journal

Digitizing books to DjVu with free tools « philiKON – a journal: "The answer is, of course, to create a digital copy. One possible format for that would be PDF. Problem is: for its image data it has to resort to conventional compression algorithms. That means that scanned documents can turn out to be quite large. A file format that’s much more suited for this is DjVu. One of its tricks is a lossy algorithm that recognizes recurring shapes such as characters. As a result, DjVu encoded books are typically a quarter of the size of PDF encoded books.

Given the need to digitize a couple of books at work, I investigated whether it’s possible to create high-quality digital copies using freely available tool"

Learning Python, Linux, Java, Ruby and more with Tutorial Videos

Learning Python, Linux, Java, Ruby and more with Tutorial Videos: "Before learning-paths, Showmedo's collection of video-tutorials lacks structure, being a lump of admittedly rather cool content. Learning-paths, created by writing a text script, allow that content to be structured and bound together. In this way, continuous journeys through the content can be fashioned. It is hoped that this will make the experience of learning richer and more enjoyable. Authors should now have much more freedom to guide users, reuse content, both their own and others, and encourage the production of other learning paths."

HackingLab: "Pinguino is an Arduino-like board based on a PIC Microcontroller. The goal of this project is to build an integrated IDE easy to use on LINUX, WINDOWS and MAC OS X. Arduino is a powerful tool with some defaults. One of its inconveniences are a no native USB interface on the chip and its code length.

The IDE of Pinguino is built with Python. An integrated preprocessor translates specific Arduino instructions directly into C. This preprocessor reduces the code length and the execution speed. Pinguino hardware is based on a 18F2550. This chip has an integrated native USB module and an UART for serial link."

Werkzeug is unicode aware and doesn't enforce a specific template engine, database adapter or anything else. It doesn't even enforce a specific way of handling requests and leaves all that up to the developer.

Werkzeug is most useful for end user applications which should work on as many server environments as possible (such as blogs, wikis, bulletin boards, etc.).

Having coded applications in Aquarium, Django, Pylons, Ruby on Rails, Zope, Plone, etc., I've been fascinated by the idea of an anti-framework. A framework establishes the flow of the application and calls your code at certain points. That's the opposite of a library. A library lets you call its code whenever and however you want. Werkzeug is a collection of libraries."

Mike Coyle’s Weblog » Blog Archive » My PM Network Interview, or Tales from the Cutting Room Floor: "8) What ways can small teams work most effectively to accomplish big tasks?

There are four aspects that drive small-team effectiveness: Planning, Process, Automation, and Asset Management.

* Planning: Small teams need to focus their efforts on understanding how the key moving parts of their project fit together so that they can proactively categorize and manage delivery risk. This is far more important than trying to optimize the workload balancing in your project plan, since you’re not trying to distribute lots of work among interchangeable resources on a large team.
* Process: Small teams should maintain strict adherence to a lightweight process. Individual heroics are not scalable nor predictable over time. Even small teams need to play by the book, but they need to make sure that it’s the right book for them.
* Automation: Small teams need to maximize the amount of work that they don’t do, and focus their efforts on the important stuff. If work cannot be avoided, it should be automated. Computers are really good at doing predictable stuff really fast.
* Asset Management: Small teams should manage their important data using some sort of version control mechanism. A good version control syste"

Pyxer - Python statt (durch) JavaScript

[Der Schockwellenreiter: Weblog-Archiv 07.03.2008]: "Pyxer (GPL) ist ein Python-AJAX-Server und -Framework, ähnlich dem Jaxter-Projekt von Aptana (hier nur mit Java). Es erlaubt, Client- wie auch Server-seitig den Einsatz von Python-Scripten. Diese werden dann vom Server nach JavaScript übersetzt. Das AJAX-Framework läuft transparent im Hintergrund. Sollte ich mal testen. [Peter van I. per Email.]"

Publicize PyCon - PyCon 2008 - Chicago - A Conference for the Python Community: "PyCon 2008

March 14-16, 2008

http://us.pycon.org

PyCon 2008, the sixth annual community conference for the Python programming language, comes to Chicago this year. The conference takes place March 14-16 at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel.

A rich schedule is being planned, including presentations, keynotes, Lightning Talks, an exhibition hall, and the hands-on Python Lab. Plentiful Open Space has been set aside for Birds-of-a-Feather sessions and other unscheduled 'unconference'-style activity. Several tutorials and talks are designed for new Python users and new programmers specifically.

The conference will be preceded by a day of intensive tutorials (March 13). Afterward, four days of development sprints (March 17-20) will bring participants together for face-to-face cooperation to advance several Python open-source projects.

PyCon attendance grew 44% from 2006 to 2007. PyCon 2008 has already set records for number of talks, tutorials, and sprints scheduled.

Registration is open now. Early-bird registration rates ($400 corporate, $220 hobbyist, $125 student) are available through February 20.

About Python:

Python is a dynamic, open-source programming language suited to many kinds of software development. TIOBE named Python the fastest-growing programming language of 2007. Python is particularly recognized as a valuable language for education. Its ease of use allows quick start-up and progress, yet it also encourages good long-term programming habits and style. Its clear, readable syntax makes cooperation between students and instructors easy. Thanks to its broad capabilities, rich libraries, and vigorous community, Python can continue to be a student's language of choice long after moving from beginner to expert. Python code can run on Java and .NET platforms through the Jython and IronPython implementations.

Tim Golden's Python Stuff: Win32 How Do I...?

Tim Golden's Python Stuff: Win32 How Do I...?: "The idea of this page is to answer various of the How Do I...? questions relating to Python under Win32. Although I probably will cover some simpler things, the intention is to group subjects which are less commonly covered in the books and mailing lists. You could see it as a kind of infrequently-asked questions."

My Name Rhymes - Functional Roman Numerals in Python

My Name Rhymes - Functional Roman Numerals in Python: "Just as a quck note, I thought I'd post the cleanest python I could come up with to solve the roman numerals problem I discussed earlier. It tries to use a functional style while actually avoiding recursion. To do so, I wrote an iterative python unfold:"

Python Package Index : virtualenv 1.0

Python Package Index : virtualenv 1.0: "virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments.

The basic problem being addressed is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions. Imagine you have an application that needs version 1 of LibFoo, but another application requires version 2. How can you use both these applications? If you install everything into /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages (or whatever your platform's standard location is), it's easy to end up in a situation where you unintentionally upgrade an application that shouldn't be upgraded."

ShowMeDo Blog » Blog Archive » Growth in Python Project Popularity

ShowMeDo Blog » Blog Archive » Growth in Python Project Popularity: "Since March 2004 these figures suggest a tripling for NumPy and a doubling for wxPython, jython, py2exe and mysql-python - great growth!

The Python wiki also states that in March 2004 Python-2.3.3.exe had 60K downloads. Looking at the December 2007 Python.org download stats we can see that /ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1.msi has 511,104 downloads.

Assuming March 2004 was a representative month for Windows, this shows almost a 10-fold growth in Windows downloads in 3.5 years."

TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows Vista/XP/2000 and Linux - Documentation: "TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right before they are loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. Entire file system is encrypted (e.g.., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc)."

Python Experts - Why They Do Python

Python Experts - Why They Do Python

heise online - Positionsdaten ohne Satellit

heise online - Positionsdaten ohne Satellit: "So hat Google seit Ende November eine Funktion namens 'My Location' ('Mein Standort') freigeschaltet, die in die Mobilversion seiner populären Kartenanwendung 'Google Maps' integriert wurde. Sie sammelt die Daten der am nächsten gelegenen Mobilfunkbasisstation und kann so eine Positionsbestimmung auf rund 1000 Meter genau vornehmen."

--> Mein Handy kann es nicht. Aber wenn ich mit meinem Handy auf meinen eigenen Server gehe sollte ich ja meine Standortinformation rausfinden. (Aufruf einer Seite --> Analyse der Herkunft --> Abgleich mit Geo-Daten --> SMS mit Info zurück...) Braucht man zwar nicht, wenn ich aber mal Zeit haben sollte.. ;-)

NodeFiler

NodeFiler: "his @button code adds a filer button. The intended use is this: you have a long list of nodes (web bookmarks, most likely) that need to be filed at the appropriate place in a tree (categories, subcategories). Normally this is cumbersome, you have to navigate to your list, copy or cut a node, navigate to the correct location, paste it, navigate back to your list, etc. This button makes it much simpler."

Noch ein nettes Tool für Leo - hatte mir noch gefehlt...

Google Code Blog: In just seven days

Google Code Blog: In just seven days: "We announced the Google Highly Open Participation Contest a little over a week ago, and the response has been phenomenal. We already have over 350 student contributors, and the participating organizations have let us know that they're overwhelmed by all the great contributions they've received from their contestants. We're delighted to bring you this video status update, with an extra treat: Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, stopped in to tell us a little bit more about the Python Software Foundation's participation in the contest."
