Re: Chocolatey Software | Poppler 0.89.0

akaihola — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 03:11:14 -0000

I successfully installed Poppler but pdfimages.exe doesn't seem to work. In Bash I get an error message, and in PowerShell pdfimages just silently returns immediately without doing anything, regardless of what CLI options I provide:

$ choco install poppler

Re: Black formats my code, and maybe it should format yours too

akaihola — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 16:11:26 -0000

You could also use Darker to run Black but only apply reformatting to lines which have been modified since the last commit (or e.g. relative to a given branch).

Re: Gradually formatting your codebase with black :: roschegel — Rocio's blog about programming.

akaihola — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 16:09:26 -0000

To do the same but on a code block level instead of whole file level, you could use Darker. It runs Black but applies the changes only to lines which have been modified since the last commit, or e.g. relative to a given branch.

It's handy to bind Darker to a shortcut in the IDE. Then you can code without caring much about formatting, and just hit the shortcut to let Darker beautify just the lines you've touched.

Re: How to remove eBook DRM with Calibre

akaihola — Sun, 24 May 2020 05:52:32 -0000

The current 6.7.0 release of DeDRM_tools is not compatible with Python 3, while at least Calibre from Ubuntu 20.04 repositories already runs on Python 3.

There is ongoing community work on fixing this, and as a work-around the plugin can be cloned from a GitHub branch and installed manually. On Linux, this can be done on the command line like this:

git clone -b Python3 git@github.com:lalmeras/DeDRM_tools.git cd DeDRM_tools calibre-customize -b .

I'm not fluent in Windows, so in case the same problem exists or comes up there, maybe a friendly Windows expert can figure out a similar solution.

This was an excellent review, thanks!

I contributed a link to this review on the Syncany vs. X page on the Syncany wiki. I think it's good to cross-link similar comparisons. Maybe a section with such links would be good for you next edition?

Re: Type Hinting in PyCharm

Are you going to support PEP-484 syntax in Python 2.7 docstrings in the future? There seems to be a Python 2 version of the typing library from the mypy project.

Re: Reactive/dataflow programming in Python, part 1

FYI, part 2 of our series is now online, but it doesn't yet include details on our DSL – that will come up at a later part.

Re: Reactive/dataflow programming in Python, part 1

akaihola — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 01:57:08 -0000

Jon, we were actually contacted directly by Henri Bergius, and his proposal was to look at implementing the FBP protocol in Lusmu to make it interoperable. I've experimented with the Flowhub GUI and looked at the protocol, and they are indeed an interesting piece of technology!

Looking at your graph definition DSL, it feels more "programming oriented" than the Eniram graph DSL which I'll introduce in this blog during the next two weeks.

Re: Reactive/dataflow programming in Python, part 1

akaihola — Tue, 04 Nov 2014 09:20:05 -0000

Yes, we do have a DSL based on the .ini configuration file format. We also have some ideas but no concrete plans for visual editing.

Stay tuned for more information about the DSL in upcoming parts of this series.

Re: Changing Django cache backend between test cases

akaihola — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 02:54:25 -0000

Diederik,

Thanks for the idea! It sounds indeed like a cleaner approach than mocking. The custom backend could also take care of clearing the cache between tests.

Re: Pep8 and pyflakes in emacs — Reinout van Rees' website

akaihola — Fri, 14 May 2010 23:59:30 -0000

See also http://github.com/akaihola/flymake-python

Highlights:

- runs pyflakes, pylint, pychecker, pep8 and/or unit tests (nose, too)
- can run a different subset of checks depending on what triggered the check (edit/save/forced)
- supports virtualenvs
- settings customizable per subdirectory in the source tree (good for minimizing check time, e.g. limit scope of unit tests)

Re: HOWTO build your own open source Dropbox clone

A few notes:

- Unison provides two-way synchronization and has both a command-line and a GTK user interface

- there are issues with rsync on Cygwin; it's difficult to find exact versions which work flawlessly

- git won't be good for very large datasets

No problems as I haven't tried out the code yet. When skimming through the code I just noticed an "output.split('n')" which doesn't make sense on line 41.

Re: git ready » cleaning up untracked files

akaihola — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 02:50:31 -0000

To copy untracked files into a separate directory outside the git repository before cleaning up, use

$ git ls-files --others --exclude-standard -z | cpio -pmd0 ../untracked-backup/

Options used:
--others lists untracked files
--exclude-standard uses .gitignore and the default git excludes
-z null-delimited output
-p pass-through (=copy)
-m preserve modification times
-d create missing directories
-0 null-delimited input
