in virtualenvwrapper bash completion on Arthur Koziel’s Blog
I didn't know how to do this, so thanks for publishing it! I rolled a modified version into release 1.2 (http://blog.doughellmann.com/2008/10/virtualenv...). The only change I made was to use the shell function show_workon_options instead of a simple "ls", so the egg files aren't included.

I find list comprehensions easier to grok when they are written on multiple lines.

[ value
for item in sequence
(if condition)
]

in Fixing the Leopard install of Python, and virtualenv for the win. on jessenoller.com comments
I've been loving virtualenv, and your sandbox switching scripts sound like an improvement over typing the long paths out by hand each time I want to change my active environment.

jnoller Using bash functions in your profile allows for tab completion on the command too. I use a lot of one liners to call into python code snippets I use a lot, ala:

magic () { python -c "import foo; foo"; }

in The next step in Digg clones (Scripting News) on Scripting News
The next step would be to build a site to allow *multiple* communities to do this. You, Steve, Om, and Scoble are interesing to some people, but another group would be more interesting to others.

in Solving the TinyUrl centralization problem (Scripting News) on Scripting News
Should this be a function of the service itself, or the browser? It seems like some sort of lossless compression could be applied to the original URL to come up with a new one with a form like short://compressed_data_here. Granted, you wouldn't end up with 2 character URLs. On the other hand, with a standardized algorithm there wouldn't be a need for a backend database, either, since the client could expand the URL before opening it.
