PyWeek - Python Game Programming Challenge

PyWeek - Python Game Programming Challenge: "The PyWeek challenge: 1. Invites entrants to write a game in one week from scratch either as an individual or in a team, 2. Is intended to be challenging and fun, 3. Will hopefully increase the public body of game tools, code and expertise, 4. Will let a lot of people actually finish a game, and 5. May inspire new projects (with ready made teams!)"

Furius Blog

Furius Blog: "I became obsessed with text files, because text files are forever. The ASCII, Latin-1 or UTF-8 encodings will never go out of style, because they are not formats, they are simple encodings, and the information stored in these text files will be usable and parseable by computers practically forever. Moreover, the software that can read and convert the very few formatting that is used in the input files is in the open source domain, and has few dependencies, and therefore will work as long as the language it is written in (Python) will be alive. I see tremendous value in this. Access to the information I produce is not ephemeral anymore."

Digital Web Magazine - RDF For The Rest Of Us

Digital Web Magazine - RDF For The Rest Of Us: "You have a website full of information, and you want to make it easier for people to reuse it—but what format should you publish it in? You’ve looked at various XML schemas and microformats, but none of them really describes all the information that you want to publish. Should you invent a new format? It’s tempting, but if you could use an existing standard, your data would be immediately interoperable with other data published in the same way; people could reuse the tools, parsers and stylesheets built around that standard. But unfortunately, nothing seems to really fit your needs. This is where RDF comes in."

Barrapunto | Gestión de proyectos de software con Trac y DrProject

Barrapunto | Gestión de proyectos de software con Trac y DrProject: "Hasta la aparición de Django, Python y el web no eran entornos muy populares de desarrollo. Uno de los programas que, aún así, han tenido un gran éxito es Trac. Esta herramienta permite gestionar proyectos de software, mediante wikis, tareas, informes de fallos e integrando subversion. En PC-CITO hay un tutorial de instalación de Trac. Además, a través de Linux.com descubro DrProject, una modificación de Trac para gestionar múltiples proyectos en una sola instalación. ¿Y tú, qué software recomiendas para gestionar proyectos?"

Dougma (dŭg·mə) n. - the truth according to Doug » HELP!

Dougma (dŭg·mə) n. - the truth according to Doug » HELP!: "We are hoping to start accepting proposals for PyCon 2008 on October 1st. The problem is, the software is not ready. A delay in accepting proposals will cause a chain reaction in the schedule we cannot afford. So here I am pleading for help. It could be something as simple as adding pygments integration to ReStructuredText, or just chatting with me about possible schema changes to support tutorials, panels and maybe even Pier-Review (for EuroPython). Not everything will get done (which is expected), but the core requirements are… well, requirements after all."

Metrics — Sean Kelly

Metrics — Sean Kelly: "I myself follow the Personal Software Process (PSP), a system developed at Carnegie-Mellon, to gather such data and track it over time. As a result I can usually estimate the time/cost/defects of my future projects with good accuracy; after all, we are creatures of habit, and it takes quite a bit of change to effect change in the quality of our products. (As an aside, my productivity from C++ to Java tripled; from Java to Python tripled again!) Yet if you lack such data, then making these guesses will be quite challenging.

Still, there's no time like today to start gathering metrics. Try building some smaller software systems, then look at the time it took you, and the size of the programs in lines of code (lines of code, or LOC, is a terrible metric for program complexity, but no one's yet come up with a better one, and as Gibbs once said, 'Everything can be measured in some way that is better than not measuring it at all.'). For your ultimate project, look at aspects of smaller projects that are similar to what you want to accomplish."

ONLamp.com -- Processing Mailbox Files with mailbox.py: "The mailbox module was greatly enhanced in Python 2.5. For a long time the mailbox module only supported reading mailboxes, not modifying them. Gregory K. Johnson, as his project for Google's 2005 Summer of Code, wrote code for adding and deleting messages; these new features went into Python 2.5, released in September 2006."
