Xpresser: Python library for GUI automation with image matching � Labix Blog

Wed, 19 May 2010 01:48:48 GMT

A while ago I found out about Sikuli, a very interesting project which allows people to script actions in GUIs based on screenshot excerpts. The idea is that you basically take images representing portions of your screen, like a button, or a label, or an icon, and then create a script which can detect a position in the screen which resembles one of these images, and perform actions on them, such as clicking, or hovering.

txwsgi

Sat, 08 May 2010 08:02:08 GMT

txwsgi is a fork of twisted.web.wsgi, that, unlike the original implementation, executes the WSGI application in the main I/O thread. txwsgi implements the x-wsgiorg.suspend extension (originally proposed during a discussion on the twisted-web mailing list!), that enables support to asynchronous WSGI applications that can use Twisted API.

Sphinx Mercurial = My favorite CMS

Sat, 08 May 2010 07:53:36 GMT

How can a collaborative site like ours best be edited and updated? Well, I would like to report some modest initial success with an experimental approach: I now maintain the site as a Sphinx-powered documentation system stored in a BitBucket repository into which I pull changes made by my collaborators. The advantages are several.

Brian Eno : "Je défends l'idée d'une écologie de la culture"

Tue, 13 Apr 2010 05:02:56 GMT

Je n'ai plus besoin de courir les distributeurs. I no longer need to run the distributors. J'ai enregistré dans mon studio plusieurs disques dont j'ai réalisé les pochettes, et que nous vendons par correspondance grâce à Internet. I recorded several discs in my studio which I designed the covers, and we sell by mail through the Internet. Même si cette vente n'atteint que 200 exemplaires, elle me rapportera quand même de l'argent, ce qui serait impossible si je passais par une maison de disques. Even if this sale is only 200 copies, it still brings me money, which would be impossible if I was going through a record company.

Benchmarking twisted

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:47:12 GMT

ところで、上の擬素数のコードをCで書いたら、非常に遅くてびっくりしました。... どうやら%=の処理が遅すぎる。というか多すぎる。pythonの組み込みのpowは便利で3項目のパラメタでmodの計算をしてくれているのです。じゃpythonはどうやってるのかとソースを見てみましたが、難しそうなことをやってます。

Tahoe backend for duplicity

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 08:10:40 GMT

This feature brings a fully distributed and fault-tolerant backend store to duplicity. Usage of GPG encryption is not necessary with this backend because everything is already encrypted by tahoe. The patch is quite small (<100 lines) and makes heavy use of tahoe CLI. It has the advantage of being largely independent from tahoe codebase.

Yes, Barry, there is a PythonLabs

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 03:14:08 GMT

Barry, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Barry, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Manage Ogg audio streams with OGMtools

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 03:01:20 GMT

When I make videos, I almost always use Ogg to encode the audio. Storing the audio in Ogg saves space on my machine without sacrificing quality. However, I invariably need to loop, concatenate, or change the audio in some way, which can be difficult. For many of these tasks I turn to the OGMtools suite to make the process easier.

A Place for Everyone

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 02:59:12 GMT

Over the years, many have complained that the Twisted core developers are elitist perfectionists who make it impossible for anyone to contribute code. Most of us would object to such a sweeping statement, but we can't deny that there is at least a little truth in that complaint. The ultimate motivation for our standards and adherence to them is quality. We want Twisted to be as stable, useful, and maintainable as possible. However, quality always comes with a cost, and we're tired of paying it.

スタックレスってどういうこと？

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 02:52:48 GMT

rietveld - Code Review for Subversion, hosted on Google App Engine

Sat, 10 May 2008 10:12:16 GMT

This project shows how to create a somewhat substantial web application using Django on Google App Engine. In addition, I hope it will serve as a practical tool for the Python developer community, and hopefully for other open source communities. As I've learned over the last two years at Google, where I developed a similar tool named Mondrian, proper code review habits can really improve the quality of a code base, and good tools for code review will improve developers' life. Some code in this project was derived from Mondrian, but this is not the full Mondrian tool.

Porting Zope to different Pythons

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:38:24 GMT

The Jython project is hoping to start a Google Summer of Code project this year to port more Zope 3 packages, such as zope.component to Jython. The Zope Foundation is very grateful to the Jython project for taking this initiative; I believe it's of great importance to Zope as a whole. So, we hope that project gets accepted. The Zope Foundation going to make sure the project is well-supported by the Zope community.

Twist: Talking to the ZODB in Twisted Reactor Calls

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:37:04 GMT

The twist package contains a few functions and classes, but primarily a helper for having a deferred call on a callable persistent object, or on a method on a persistent object. This lets you have a Twisted reactor call or a Twisted deferred callback affect the ZODB. Everything can be done within the main thread, so it can be full-bore Twisted usage, without threads.

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:44:00 GMT

では，WebDAVでどのようにしてファイルのプロパティを操作するのかについて説明する。とはいえ，WebDAVは範囲が広い規格であり，その全機能を紹介することは到底できない。そこで本稿では，Exchange 2000 Serverを利用するのに必要になるであろうプロパティの取得と設定ならびに検索についてのみを扱う。その他の操作方法については，RFC2518や Exchange 2000 Platform SDK（http://msdn.microsoft.com/exchange/）に含まれるヘルプファイルを参照してほしい。

レガシーエンコーディングについて

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:35:28 GMT

近年のオープンソースソフトウェア（以下OSSとする）では、文字コードの内部処理をUnicodeで行うことにより、国際化に対応している。これにより、日本語環境で使用する際にも、日本語メッセージを用意する他は、特別なローカライズ作業を必要としなくなっている。しかし、依然としてUnicodeとレガシーエンコーディングとの変換では、次のような問題が発生している。これらのような事象が Windows/UNIXからのシステム移行やデータ連係において発生し、Linuxの採用時に問題となることがある。

Google Contacts and CardDAV

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:26:56 GMT

Almost as if in answer, yesterday Google announced the release of the Contacts API, which is AtomPub/GData based. Unlike CardDAV, it’s not based on vCard, which is both a blessing and a curse, since lots of popular contact systems (like the Mac address book) know how to export vCard information, and because vCard provides a very rich model for information about people. I’m not sure whether this is progress or not.
