[ANN] pyKook 0.7.0 - task automation tool for Python, similar to Rake or Ant

Hi, I have released pyKook 0.7.0. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Kook/ http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kook/ http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kook/pykook-users-guide.html In this release, you can run commands on remote machines using ssh. This is very useful to deploy your application. pyKook Overview

Can I fully replace GNU Bash with Python?

This question concerns my process of creating Swift Linux from the base distro (antiX Linux in the past, Linux Mint Debian Edition now). (NOTE: The process I'm describing here is an oversimplification.) All of my development work takes place in the ~/develop directory. This is the directory where

For those not aware, the compiled file caching and import system was changed for 3.2. Given test.py, the compiled file is no longer test.pyc, in the same directory, but (for cpython32) __pycache__/test.cpython-32.pyc. Given the statement 'import test', the __pycache__ directory is only searched
