To build uwsgi on Fedora 12 (which has no easy-to-find python3 rpm), run through the rpmbuild process (shown in a previous post in more detail for nginx) and make the following changes : wget http://kad.fedorapeople.org/packages/uwsgi/uwsgi-0.9.9.2-2.fc15.src.rpm rpm -ivh uwsgi-0.9.9.2-2.fc15.src.rpm rpmbuild -bb  ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/uwsgi.spec yum install python-devel libuuid-devel jansson-devel libyaml-devel ruby-devel python3-devel python-greenlet-devel  lua-devel  ruby # NB: python3-devel [...]

In order to get access to uwsgi (useful for deploying python flask projects, for instance), one needs a version of nginx > 0.8 or so. But Fedora 12 doesn’t have such a modern version : Here’s how to build it from a src.rpm from a more recent Fedora release. # First, make sure we have [...]

In order to get access to uwsgi (useful for deploying python flask projects, for instance), one needs a version of nginx > 0.8 or so. But Fedora 12 doesn’t have such a modern version : Here’s how to compile it from source : Actually, a less hacky approach is to simply back-port (trivially) a src.rpm [...]

Here’s a pretty minimal setup for building an extension for LibreOffice in Python. Working backwards, I’ve called the extension ‘mdda_fns.oxt’. Here’s the makefile, which is in the root of the package development tree : all:    clean zip install clean:         unopkg remove mdda_fns.oxt         rm mdda_fns.oxt     [...]

Paster contains the WSGI server originally incorporated within CherryPy (see http://pythonpaste.org/script/module-paste.script.wsgiserver.html). Funnily enough, this is a pretty hot contender amongst other Python WSGI webservers (see http://nichol.as/benchmark-of-python-web-servers) : Maybe not the best, but because of its ease of set-up (working out-of-the-box for Pyramid and Pylons) it is extremely compelling. Combining it with NGINX makes for a [...]

This code snippet should clear up the confusing documentation when it comes to uploading an optional picture : import os from pylons import config import shutil class MyController(BaseController):     def picture(self, registration=False):         if ‘send_picture’ in request.params:             if (‘picture’ in request.params) and hasattr(request.params[‘picture’], ‘filename’):   [...]

Another ‘quickie’. Rather than update the central /usr/share/scite/SciTEGlobal.properties, just pull in the user’s properties from SciTE’s Options-OpenUserOptionsFile. There, add the following : find.files=*.p*|*.js|*.[ch]* if PLAT_GTK  find.command=grep -R  –include ‘$(find.files)’ –exclude ‘*.svn*’ -i –line-number ‘$(find.what)’ . tabsize=1 indent.size=1 use.tabs=0 indent.size.*.py=4 # NB : tabsize becomes tab.size for filepatterns… tab.size.*.py=4 lexer.html.mako=1 source.files=$(source.files);*.css;*.scss filter.css=CSS (css scss)|*.css;*.scss| lexer.*.css=css lexer.*.scss=css [...]

After looking around the web for an SQLalchemy model migration assistant, we found no satisfactory equivalent to the migration tool that people love for Ruby. In particular sqlalchemy-migrate seems like it’s an overkill (in addition, sqlalchemy-migrate is fiddly to set up with Pylons). There’s also a project call miruku, but that is also a little [...]

Just a quickie… To make SciTE work with mako files (which are template files used by the mako templating system included with Pylons), just add the following : In /usr/share/scite/SciTEGlobal.properties (on a Fedora machine at least, YMMV) : lexer.html.mako=1
