Learn python packaging for Ubuntu and Debian in the Ubuntu Open Week
Hi All, If you wrote some python code that you want to package or know a cool python application of which you like to make a deb installer, the python packaging session is all for you! Do you develop some cross- platform open source software and you want to give its popularity a boost by bringing it to Ubuntu and Debian, read on! (Packages are what installers are for Windows.) This session will be hosted by the respected Emilio (pochu). I've worked closely together with him (and others of the Debian PAPT team like POX ScottK) to make sure these packages landed well in Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Unstable: - Phatch (sudo apt-get install phatch, http://photobatch.stani.be) - SPE (sudo apt-get install spe, http://pythonide.stani.be) I've requested this session as I found there was almost no information available tailored for python coders. I hope many people will attend. The logs will be available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekhardy/PythonPackaging The complete program of the Ubuntu Open Week is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek Feel free to comment or questions ahead of this session on this thread. I am sure Emilio will read this thread. See you there! Stani -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

PHATCH: PHoto bATCH processor with EXIF and IPTC support for all platforms
Phatch is a simple to use cross-platform GUI Photo Batch Processor Phatch handles all popular image formats and can duplicate (sub)folder hierarchies. It can batch resize, rotate, apply perspective, shadows, rounded corners, ... and more in minutes instead of hours or days if you do it manually. Phatch allows you to use EXIF and IPTC tags for renaming and data stamping. Phatch also supports a console version to batch photos on web servers. What is new? Until Phatch could only save EXIF and IPTC tags on Linux. Now this feature is available for all platforms hanks to the work of Robin Mills who managed to compile pyexiv2 and all its dependencies and get it to work on MacOS X (Tiger and Leopard, PPC and Intel) and x86 Windows. You can grab the libraries from here: http://www.clanmills.com/articles/gpsexiftags/ (Look for Download the libraries click here somewhere in the middle). I have not tested this myself yet, but assumes that it will work.

Now, with his latest stuff, it doesn't work at all. Because it used to reset with a restart, it must have something to do with a dll, like the scintilla editor dll? But that's kind of hard to believe: why would the editor dll care about indentation? Anyway, I am extremely frustrated.

How to write a wxPython video player directly with Gstreamer
In the hope it will be useful for others I've posted on my blog example source code of how to integrate gstreamer directly in wxpython: wxPython ships by default with the wx.MediaCtrl for very basic playback of music or videos. As I would like to do more advanced video manipulation, I was curious if I could use Gstreamer directly in wxPython to create my own pipelines. It was surprisingly easy. For those who don't know Gstreamer, I quote the website (http:// www.gstreamer.org): GStreamer is a library that allows the construction of graphs of media- handling components, ranging from simple playback to complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing. Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter technology transparently.

Re: PIL transparency gradient

Is there anyone out here who could give me some advise? Phatch (PHoto bATCH) is an application based on PIL. Its actions contain many useful PIL recipes, such as applying a transparency gradient to an image. You basically need to create an 1pxx256px grayscale image which goes from 0 to 255. After that you can stretch it to the image size and add it as an alpha channel. You'll find the source code for this in the phatch/actions/mask.py Every action contains a 'raw' PIL function that can work independently outside the context of Phatch. This is by design, inspired by the MVC model in which you could see PIL as the model and Phatch as the View.

I have Visual Studio 6 and .NET 2003 so I think I'm good for that. I am not sure you even need it. I found here some more instructions for another project which uses libexiv2, which seems to be quite straightforward: http://albumshaper.wiki.sourceforge.net/Compiling+on+Windows I hope some Windows users could try this out. Unfortunately, I am not the best at compiling. Hopefully the links you provided will have plenty of friendly pros who don't mind sharing their wisdom. Did you have any success so far? Keep me updated. It would be nice to have EXIF and IPTC support for python on Windows. In case you can't compile, it wouldn't be so hard to write a wrapper around the provided windows executable to mimic the API of python- pyexiv2. If it does turn out that they can't help me compile, would you know how to do this? Are we talking about SWIG here? I've never written a wrapper. No I mean to do some subprocess calls. With exiv2 you extract the exif information to a temporary *.exv file. This exv file contains all metadata (inclusive type information), which should be easy to parse in python. For example to execute the command exiv2.exe -e -a, you probably need to do (untested code): from subprocess import call call(['exiv2','-e','a',filename],shell=True) #parse the exiv2 *.exv file If you are able to parse the exv file, mimicking the python-pyexiv2 library api means putting all the tags in a dictionary. Later you need to write back your dictionary to an *.exv file and inject it with exiv -i into another image file. This should you get started, here all command line options of exiv2 are defined: http://linux.die.net/man/1/exiv2 At the moment Phatch only needs to be able copy the exif tags from one image file to another, but this will change in the future as Phatch will allow modifying custom exif data, rotating based on exif iptc data and do time shifting. The current functionality is available as the function copy_metadata at core/lib/_pyexiv2.py There is also another tool to handle exiftags, called exiftool, which is Perl based. I prefer exiv2 as it is much faster: http://picurl.net/development/wiki/Exiv2vsExifTool I hope this gives enough pointers for people to bring EXIF IPTC support to Python and Phatch.

Homepage: http://photobatch.stani.be (free download link below) Tutorials: http://photobatch.wikidot.com/tutorials Translations: https://translations.launchpad.net/phatch/trunk/+pots/phatch License: GPLv3 Screenshot: http://photobatch.wikidot.com/local--files/start/Screenshot-Phatch3d.jpg (the perspective and reflection is produced by Phatch itself) Phatch has many features, like: - EXIF information inspector with thumbnail - limit jpeg file size when saving - tons of actions organized by tags (including perspective, round corners, shadow, reflection, ...) - console version (Phatch can now run without a gui on servers) - batch rename and copy files based on exif metadata - data stamping (http://photobatch.wikidot.com) - online documentation wiki (http://photobatch.wikidot.com) Linux only features: - desktop or panel droplets on which images or folders can be dropped (will be ported to Windows Mac) - Nautilus and desktop integration (with its own mime type and nautilus extension) - manpage with examples With python-pyexiv2 the following featues are added: - embedding the original EXIF and IPTC tags in the image All actions mostly have a separate pil function in their source code, so they could be read as a recipe book for PIL: * Auto Contrast - Maximize image contrast * Background - Put colour under transparent image * Border - Crop or add border to all sides * Brightness - Adjust brightness from black to white * Canvas - Crop the image or enlarge canvas without resizing the image * Colorize - Colorize grayscale image * Common - Copies the most common pixel value * Contrast - Adjust from grey to black white * Convert Mode - Convert the color mode of an image (grayscale, RGB, RGBA or CMYK) * Copy - Copy image file * Effect - Blur, Sharpen, Emboss, Smooth, ... * Equalize - Equalize the image histogram * Fit - Downsize and crop image with fixed ratio * Grayscale - Fade all colours to gray * Invert - Invert the colors of the image (negative) * Maximum - Copies the maximum pixel value * Mask - Apply a transparency mask * Median - Copies the median pixel value * Minimum - Copies the minimum pixel value * Offset - Offset by distance and wrap around * Posterize - Reduce the number of bits of colour channel * Perspective - Shear 2d or 3d * Rank - Copies the rank'th pixel value * Reflect - Drops a reflection * Rename - Rename image file * Rotate - Rotate with random angle * Round - Round or crossed corners with variable radius and corners * Saturation - Adjust saturation from grayscale to high * Save - Save an image with variable compression in different types * Scale - Scale an image with different resample filters. * Shadow - Drop a blurred shadow under a photo with variable position, blur and color * Solarize - Invert all pixel values above threshold * Text - Write text at a given position * Transpose - Flip or rotate an image by 90 degrees * Watermark - Apply a watermark image with variable placement (offset, scaling, tiling) and opacity I develop Phatch on Ubuntu/Linux, but I have tested and polished it regularly on Windows and Mac Os X. (Only the droplet functionality needs to be ported.) Phatch is submitted to Debian unstable and Ubuntu Hardy. Packagers for other platforms are welcome. Requirements: - PIL 1.1.5 or higher - wxPython 2.6 or higher - pyexiv2 (optional) - python nautilus bindings (optional) Best regards, Stani -- http://pythonide.stani.be -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

gettext backwards
I am developping an international application for which I use gettext.
An user can fill in certain fields with variable names which are also
localized, eg: filename
_('filename') = 'bestandsnaam' #for dutch
As an english user might save this configuration, I want that eg a
Dutch user can open this configuration but see 'filename' in Dutch
('bestandsnaam'). So my question is, does gettext supports reverse
translation (assuming all translation strings are unique)? The reverse
function would take a translated string and put it back in the
original:
foo('bestandsnaam') = 'filename' #to allow an english user to work
with a file saved by a dutch user
Of course I can customize _() so it keeps track of the translations in
a reverse dictionary or I could build an external reverse dictionary,
but I was wondering if there was a more elegant solution.

Stani thanks stani i actually had an incling that 2. was the real problem. i've got probably 200 or so clases in my project and it was pausing mainly when it came to names of things or a . i changed it to on clicked and it's fine now. it still does something else though that i'm at a loss to fix. when i open a file or run a script is throws up errors saying Failed to display HTML document in ISO-8859-1 encoding i guess thats a problem with those bottom info windows? The bottom info window is indeed a wxhtml window. Please check if this problem also occurs in the wxpython demo. If yes, report this on the wxpython-user mailing list, otherwise report to my gmail address. Stani Stani -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: SPE for 2.5?
Hi Fuzzy, I think you refer to pyxides (http://pyxides.stani.be). Pyxides turned out to be more like an exchange between different IDE developpers, rather than a common project. There are a lot of reasons for that: different GUI toolkits, geographical distances rendering physical sprints almost impossible (although necessary for such task), no financial resources, nobody with the time or ambition to lead such a project, ... So no immediate result for the end users, although for the developers there was some limited exchange. In a world with furious discussions about KDE or Gnome, Windows, Linux or Mac, deb or rpm, vim or emacs, not to mention Tkinkter, pyGTK, wxPython, pyKDE, pyCocoa, ... this might not come as a surprise. Appearantly, despite the fact that python IDE's are only a relative very small segment, did not matter so much. It seems also that programmers are addicted to threads about the best IDE. Maybe we as developers should not take that joy away, but provide some healthy competition instead. I guess collaboration is only possible within one gui toolkit (this is not meant technically of course), as gui toolkits are not so much about technique but more about philosophy. That said, a new version of SPE 0.8.3.a is going to be released soon. Yes, open source projects do hibernate, which by some people is wrongly perceived as ..., but anyway SPE is alive and will always be unless I say differently.

howto py2exe/py2app for self updating application
Hi, I'm creating a GUI program with wxPython which will be distributed for Mac and Windows. The audience of the program is not technical at all (eg they've never heard about Python yet ;-), so everything should go automatically. The program should be able to update itself and to update its database (collection of .txt files). These are two separated things and don't happen simultaneously. I thought of the following: - seperate the code which will be updated and zip it to use a zipimport - zip the .txt files These files can then be downloaded (urllib or so) and if the download has completed succesfully, replace their old files. For the updated python code it is necessary to restart the program for the database not. These questions arise: ++ How can I bundle a zipimport file with py2exe/py2app? Let say this is the folder layout of the program: application.py code.zip (contains main.py, ui.py, etc..) * data.zip (contains .txt files) * other files (preferably bundled but not necessary) such as the wxPython libraries and whatever py2app will want to include (* means should be remote updatable/synchronizable) application.py is just a dummy file which calls code.main.main() Should I declare code.zip as a data file or as a python package? Of course it would be nice if someone be so kind to suggest a simple setup.py recipee for this... ++ I have Python2.4, wxPython2.6.3, OS X 10.4 Will it run on other versions of OS X? If not will a version compiled with py2app on OS X 10.3 run on OS X 10.4 or do I need to provide a file for every OS X version? ++ Do I have to declare something special for py2app and wxPython?

The Python multiple IDE Collaboration calls for coders
Dear Pythoneers, Looking at IDE's I can have three observations: 1. For some reasons numerous users prefer to use an open source IDE. 2. For some reasons numerous python programmers like to develop an open source IDE. 3. For some reasons the open source python IDE developers are not collaborating at all. The reasons for 1 or 2 are obvious, at least to me. Recently I have been wondering about the reason for 3. (Probably a lot of python programmers have wondered about this already for ages, but ok I might be slow ;-) I came to the conclusion that there was *NO* reason. As this was so clear, I started to invite all the authors of IDE's personally to collaborate all together. I hope that I didn't forget any, because there are so many. What is really nice, is that we feel the same: we should work together and share as much as possible. We don't want to waste our (often spare) time on reinventing wheels. Almost all IDE's (except of two) are participating no matter if they use Tkinter, wxPython, pyQT, Cocoa, pyGTK, ... (So this could open doors for an ajax python editor, who knows. Any python web framework like Django, Turbogears, ... interested in that?) These projects are participating: NewEdit, scrIDE, Eric3, Leo IDE, ActiveGrid, PIDA, drPython, pyDev, PyCrust, IPython, WinPdb debugger, Extended Python Debugger, PyLint, Gaphor, Envisage, Dabo, SilverCity SPE. It is not about unification, but about a little bit more collaboration. There are always libraries to share, more as we might think. In order to give the project shape I started building a (wiki based) website in plone which together with a mailing list should give a good platform for collaboration. (You need to login to edit wiki's.) All the developers are already invited, but everyone willing to code or contribute (documentation, translation, artwork, plone website, ..) is welcome. If you work on open source project which might be of interest (parsing, uml, framework, ...) please join or invite the projects which you think should participate as well. We will probably work in smaller teams on the various aspects of IDE's and tools. If this project succeeds it could be a major win for the Python community.

Firefox bug in webbrowser module on Ubuntu?!
Hi,
During optimizing SPE for Ubuntu, I found something strange. I have
Ubuntu 5.10 The Breezy Badger and unfortunately this code is not
working:
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open(http://www.python.org;)
It does not throw an exception, but is not able to launch a browser.
Ubuntu ships with Firefox as its default browser, but it looks like it
is not recognized by the standard webbrowser module, instead it seems
to prefer Netscape, which is not installed:
import webbrowser
webbrowser.browser
'netscape'
In the _browsers attribute there seems to be an entry for
'mozilla-firefox', but doesn't seem to work
webbrowser._browsers
{'galeon': [None, webbrowser.Galeon instance at 0xb7d261cc],
'mozilla': [None, webbrowser.Netscape instance at 0xb7d2608c],
'mozilla-firefox': [None, webbrowser.Netscape instance at
0xb7d2612c], 'w3m': [None, webbrowser.GenericBrowser instance at
0xb7d22fec]}
The tryorder is...
webbrowser._tryorder
['galeon', 'mozilla-firefox', 'mozilla', 'w3m']
As a workaround I check for the file '/usr/bin/firefox' and use a
os.system call. Of course a user could maybe install Netscape, but it
would be absurd that SPE would require Netscape.
Is there a reason why this doesn't work? It looks like a bug.

It is so hard to contact the person who packages SPE for Ubuntu. I contacted him but I get no answer. I am new to Ubuntu (or Linux in general), so I would not have a clue how that works (apart from time needed for it). If you would have read the blog (http://pythonide.stani.be/blog), you could clearly read this: SPE was for the first time tested on and improved for Ubuntu (and hopefully so for Linux in general). I adapted SPE such that it can ran out of the box of an archive (zip or tar.gz) (...) If you want to install SPE in this way, use the -no_setup.zip distribution: 1. uninstall previous version of SPE (VERY IMPORTANT, otherwise SPE won't run) 2. download and unpack the archive SPE-0.8.1.d-wx2.6.1.0-no_setup.zip 3. run SPE with 'python SPE.py' If you follow these three steps nothing more, nothing less, you are up and running with SPE in one minute. I don't know how can I make it more easy. Luckily other Ubuntu users had no problems and are running the latest SPE already on Ubuntu. I adapted SPE such that it can ran out of the box of an archive (zip or tar.gz). This has the advantage that Linux (but also Mac and Windows) don't have to install SPE anymore but can just run it out of a folder or USB stick, provided the right version of wxPython (2.6) is installed on the system as it is always the case with Ubuntu boxes. Ehm... I think I've clearly shown that, at least as far as the Ubuntu packages go, not all requirements are always there on an Ubuntu system. Supposing you use Ubuntu 5.10 The Breezy Badger, all the requirements are there: wxPython 2.6 That is all SPE needs. (If you still use Hoary, read here http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/wxPython_20with_20Ubuntu) So you have only clearly shown that you didn't read the instructions. I wish SPE can be retrieved by apt-get but that's beyond my control. If it doesn't work, let me know privately. Why? What's wrong with this newsgroup? Nothing, just thought it might be off topic, SPE has forums or newsgroups for that. So follow this recipee: - apt-get wxPython 2.6 (in case you don't have) - uninstall your previous SPE attempts (no '_spe' or 'sm' folder may be present in site-packages) - get http://download.berlios.de/python/SPE-0.8.1.d-wx2.6.1.0-no_setup.zip and unpack it - run SPE (python SPE.py) Still not working?

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I'll give it another go. I downloaded it, tried to run it, then it stopped with a message that it needs a newer wxPython version than the one that comes with Ubuntu Linux. Since this release of Ubuntu is two months old and rather up to date with all things Python, IMO the SPE builders are pushing it a little too much by requiring even a newer version of wxPython. This is a misinterpretation, SPE failed because of something else. (As would have become clear if you would have run SPE in the debugging mode 'python SPE.py --debug'.) The version number displayed is the one on which SPE is being developed, not the one required (displayed on webpage). AFAIK SPE runs fine with wxPython 2.5.4.1+ I run SPE myself on the same release of Ubuntu as you (Breezy ?) and it now works very well.

Anyone using SPE editor on Ubuntu?
Hi, I'm playing around with the latest (soon to be released) SPE on Ubuntu. This probably will increase the quality of SPE on Ubuntu and Linux/GTK in general. I already made some patches, but I would like to get in contact with SPE users on Ubuntu. The version of SPE which is now available on Ubuntu now is quite deprecated. I adapted SPE such that it can ran out of the box of an archive (zip or tar.gz). This has the advantage that Linux (but also Mac and Windows) don't have to install SPE anymore, although that option will remain. So if you want quickly to see what SPE is all about, you can just run it out of a folder or USB stick, provided the right version of wxPython (2.6) is installed on the system, which is always the case with Ubuntu boxes.

Re: ? MDI depreciated
Hi Len, The preference of most users is quite platform related: - Mac users are the most pronounced, they like SDI (single document interface), where there is one frame for every document - Most linux users like something between MDI and SDI: a tabbed interface, like firefox, where there is one frame for all documents, although some of them also like SDI - On windows still a lot of users like MDI, where there is one frame for all documents, even though it is officially deprecated. This is general, but a lot of users have their own preferences. So it's easy to have a debate about this issue. There are a lot of cross-overs: some like a tabbed Windows MDI, some like tabs in the Mac SDI (every frame one window, but you can navigate through them with tabs), ... So except from the Mac there is no new, official UI model AFAIK. Another difference is that Windows prefer toolbars and Mac prefers tool Palettes. So all this doesn't make developping a serious cross-platform program an easy task. What you choose is dependent of your target OS and your own interface 'ethics'. If you are a Windows user and want to learn more about Mac interface, this is a good starting point: http://developer.apple.com/ue/index.html Also have a look at widely used cross-platform programs like Photoshop or any application similar to the one you want to develop. With SPE I opted for a kameleon interface. It's still unstable under development as a wxPython module (smdi.py), but it should make it possible to develop cross-platform applications without the author having to worry to choose a document interface. The user can simply select his preference in the options dialog box. The smdi.py module is included with SPE as _spe/sm/wxp/smdi.py. It is designed independent from SPE, so you could use it for any application. However as it is unstable and will soon go through a lot of development, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you are experienced with wxPython and would like to contribute to its development. I expect to have it really stable in the beginning of next year. I think it would be a major step if a module can handle all the worries of the design of a document interface as this can be treated independently from the application. If you want to see some screenshots of SPE in different DI's: http://pythonide.stani.be/screenshots Good luck!

Re: Expanding Python as a macro language
some future Firefox version might perhaps integrate a Python engine For those who never heard about Firefox 1.9, check the following urls. It looks very promising: 1) http://wiki.mozilla.org/Roadmap_Scratchpad#Python_for_XUL Python for XUL Significant potential contributors in both the Python and XUL application development communities have long wanted access to Python's set of libraries and its capabilities as an application development language. So in addition to JavaScript, which is the default web and XUL scripting language, we plan to extend the reach of Gecko and XUL to the Python world. Mark Hammond's work on PyXPCOM and a language-neutral DOM is well under way as of October 2005, and we believe that the glue code and bindings will be slim enough to be part of a default XULRunner or Firefox distribution when the 1.9 cycle is complete. (N.B.: Mozilla does not intend to distribute the C-Python runtime with its applications or frameworks, and application developers who wish to take advantage of these capabilities will need to provide for this dependency in their installers or packaging. Stub or streaming installer capabilities in the Firefox/XULRunner based on Gecko 1.9 will probably help a great deal to ease the extra download for Python-less users.) 2) http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/008865.html Given evolving JS, why Python? Simple: different programming languages, of different ages, have their strengths, and one of the greatest strength of any solid language is its community. We want to support Python as well as JS for XUL scripting in order to engage a large, creative community of hackers that is mostly disjoint from the web-standards-savvy XUL hackers who are already engaged with Mozilla and Firefox. * Stani -- http://pythonide.stani.be http://pythonide.stani.be/manual/html/manual.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If you want a cross platform solution you could use wxPython: http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/docbrowse.cgi/wxwin_printingoverview.html#printingoverview For text you could use wxHtmlEasyPrinting: http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/Printing For mac solutions, you better post this on the pythonmac mailing list.

ANN: SPE 0.7.5.d released!
I'm currently packaging the new SPE. The release is a matter of minutes. Next releases (0.8.*) will focus on the Mac in honour of the fund raising for the purchase of a Mac. Read more on the homepage. New features: * UML export to bitmap (bmp, gif, jpg, pcx, png, pnm, tif, xbm, xpm), to vector drawing (eps) or to printer (pdf). * Dialog box for passing arguments and options to debugger. * Unicode support (specify encoding in source file) You can read more on the SPE news blog. It would be nice if some (experienced) Mac users would subscribe to the developers mailing list to speed up the Mac port for SPE. I expect my new Mac any moment.

I forgot to include a sample of an exported Uml diagram, so here it is as a pdf: http://www.stani.be/python/spe/images/smdi.pdf Previous announcement: I'm currently packaging the new SPE.

Re: Double replace or single re.sub?
Of course it is better to precompile the expression, but I guess replace will beat even a precompiled regular expression. You could see this posting: http://groups.google.nl/group/comp.lang.python/msg/32af24eab9024f60?hl=nlq=replace+re+speed+python+sub But performance should be measured, not guessed.

Re: wxListbook layout problem
It is definitely a bug. The same problem also happens with wx.LB_BOTTOM. Tested on WinXP (SP2), python 2.4.1, wxPython 2.6.1.0 Stani -- SPE - Stani's Python Editor http://pythonide.stani.be http://pythonide.stani.be/manual/html/manual.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: IDE recommendation please
Mac users of SPE collected money for me to buy a Mac. This means that in the near future SPE will be especially improved for Mac. So feedback from Mac users is more than welcome and will probably be taken into account. SPE is a free, open source IDE with a lot of features like a debugger, UML diagrams and a GUI designer.

Fund raising for SPE (Python IDE) on Mac Os X is great success!!
Hi, I'd like to thank everyone who contributed, especially Richard Brown from Dartware and Rick Thomas. I'm highly impressed that the smallest user base of SPE collected the largest donation ever to SPE. Now it's my turn to impress the SPE Mac users. As such the light is green for SPE on the Mac. First I will buy a Mac and get used to it. Then I will optimize SPE for the Mac and try to release simultaneously. Be patient as this will take some time. The next releases (0.7) will be based on work I did before. But from 0.8 releases SPE will also be tested developed on Mac. Please subscribe to the mailing list as a developer, user and/or mac user. Of course donations are still welcome. Stani http://pythonide.stani.be http://pythonide.stani.be/manual/html/manual.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Popularity of blogging tools used by python programmers
Well, Python, Zope Plone hosting are quite popular. However python based blog software isn't as sexy as let's say blogger. For SPE I first used a combination of PyDSpycs.net. It is free for everyone, but unfortunately not stable enough to my standards. Luckily I got sponsored by zettai.net, who offer me excellent Zope hosting. There I use CoreBlog as I wanted consciously to use a python product. As a rule of thumb: when you are totally happy with the templates of prepacked blogs like blogger, then stick with that. But... even though they look slick, they all look the same. It's a bit the same problem of flash. So if you really want to modify your blog, you better take a product which is written in a language you understand. That's the reason why I like to work with Zope, Plone and CoreBlog. But I guess a python programmer using other blog systems is not as bad as a microsoft worker googling for the newest ipod. I'm sure a lot Perl or Ruby programmers also use mailman for their mailing lists.
