Re: The file explorer

I was a NERD_tree user before but switched to netrw since it can be configured to behave mostly like NERD_tree. I think I just wanted to have one external plugin less to install ;-)

Re: The file explorer

I've found the following settings to be really useful:

let g:netrw_liststyle=3 " Use tree-mode as default view
let g:netrw_browse_split=4 " Open file in previous buffer
let g:netrw_preview=1 " preview window shown in a vertically split

Most of the time, I just use :Vex to open netrw in a vertical split window. When opening a file with the above settings, the netrw split window will stay open and the file will be opened in a new vertical split window.

Re: Working with virtualenv

arthurk — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 05:59:20 -0000

Separating the v.e. from the project dir is indeed a personal preferences thing.
Doug Hellmann initially developed virtualenvwrapper because he found himself constantly creating and deleting environments (he writes PyMOTW and creates one per article and column). He posted his reasons here: http://www.doughellmann.com...

As for me, I just like to have the v.e.'s separated from the "real" project files and organized in one place.But the biggest reason would be the shortcuts it provides ("workon", "cdsitepackages", ...). It saves me a lot of cd-ing :-).

I haven't looked at the --relocatable flag yet since the documentation
states that it is experimental. However, let me know how it works for you.
--
Yes, $VIRTUAL_ENV should be used to tell what v.e. is currently active.

Re: Handling static files with Django

arthurk — Fri, 29 May 2009 13:26:14 -0000

Sounds like you're using contrib.flatpages. The flatpages urlconf has a catch-all rule which tries to find the "/resources/css/style.css" in the database and then throws a 404 because it couldn't find it. It never gets to the static media pattern.

To solve this, just make sure that the static-media pattern comes before the flatpages pattern in your urls.py.

No, you don't need to do this for 404 errors. The default 404 error handler passes the RequestContext to the template.

Re: Artisan System - A PHP5 Object Oriented Framework

Same here. During coding, I mostly hear the music I'm already familiar with so I don't have to pay attention to the lyrics and the music becomes the background. Unfortunately, the book doesn't mention if the music was known or unknown to the groups.

Here is another interesting study: http://www.asee.org/activit...

Re: Artisan System - A PHP5 Object Oriented Framework

There's an example on page 78 of Peopleware which states that during the 1960s researchers at Cornell University conducted tests on the effect of working with music. Both groups (one coding with music, the other without) performed about the same in speed and accuracy of programming because the part of the brain required for arithmetic and related logic (the left side) is unbothered by music.

However, since the right side of the brain (responsible for creativity) is busy listening to music, you might get fewer "Ahah!"-situations (where you truly understand something or develop creative ways of solving specific problems).

Re: PyFlakes installation and TextMate integration

Hi jehiah,

when I wrote this blog post the trunk version didn't have a functional setup.py file. This changed two months ago with this changeset: http://divmod.org/trac/chan...
So it's now perfectly fine to just install the package with the setup.py file.

Re: virtualenvwrapper 2.6 - virtualenv wrapper functions

arthurk — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 14:02:32 -0000

If there are some MacPorts users around: I wrote a Portfile for virtualenv (http://trac.macports.org/ti... and virtualenvwrapper (http://trac.macports.org/ti.... Both are currently not in the main repo but you can create a local repository (http://guide.macports.org/#... and put the portfiles in there.

Re: Introducing the Django Debug Toolbar

arthurk — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 03:43:26 -0000

Great work, I'm definitely going to check this out. I'm coming from a Symfony background and the debug toolbar was _the_ thing I was missing in Django. Thanks for making it open source.

I've had a Wordpress blog for some months but wasn't really happy about it. Sure, the plugins are great and the community is pretty big but there are a lot of things one can learn by writing his own blogging application.

I recently switched to a custom made Django weblog and had much more fun during the development than I had with writing custom Wordpress themes (especially these "That sucks, I would have developed it different"-moments).
