Twisted Network Programming Essentials, First Edition
YABTB (yet another book to buy): Twisted Network Programming Essentials, First Edition
I still need to finish reading through Dive Into Python Although I've really shot past the point of needing to seriously read beginners books, I keep finding interesting things I never knew before.
That's Learnin'
Import Modules/Discover methods from a directory name
It's Pimp a recipe made by me time - ASPN : Python Cookbook : Import Modules/Discover methods from a directory name
I had forgotten I put this up a little while back. One of those cool little things I thought of, not useful to a lot of people, but fairly useful to me ;)
Hopefully I can run up against more things I can stub out for sharing.
Good Ideas, Done dirt Cheap
I love having brainstorms. But at the same time - I hate having them. Given I spend most of my waking hours working, or thinking about work - most of my ideas are work related, and not very shareable.
But I'm having one of those brainstorms where it feels like my brain is trying to pass a truck. I've been hacking on some simple code the last few days trying to push out a few tests, when all of a sudden, I'm sitting there cleaning the litter box at home of all things, when another piece of the chain hits me.
Nothing to terribly groundbreaking - I'm sure a more experienced programmer would not have only dropped a few hundred lines of notes into his text editor. He would have also had a working prototype - something I could do given a few days, but all I really get is an hour or so here and there.
I'll get to hack on it soon enough. Until then, I'll be scraping the cat box even more.

I signed up for a damned del.icio.us account. I doubt I'll be sharing everything I bookmark, and I don't even know why I signed up.
IS IT WEB2.0 YET?

Alot of it is really good information and practices.
HOWTO Rip DVD Movies To Your iPod
By now, most of the known world knows about Apple's foray into providing video playback support for the new iPods (hot) - one of the things I was worried about was the ability to drop my own videos (DVDs, Cartoons, etc) onto one of the new iPods, but given I was already familiar with Handbrake I knew it was only a matter of time before someone linked it all together to show how to drop a DVD on there, fully and here we are: HOWTO Rip DVD Movies To Your iPod
Pyro - About
Here's an interesting tidbit: Pyro
From the site:
"Pyro is short for PYthon Remote Objects. It is an advanced and powerful Distributed Object Technology system written entirely in Python, that is designed to be very easy to use. Never worry about writing network communication code again, when using Pyro you just write your Python objects like you would normally. With only a few lines of extra code, Pyro takes care of the network communication between your objects once you split them over different machines on the network. All the gory socket programming details are taken care of, you just call a method on a remote object as if it were a local object!"
This would be interesting for me in a number of ways - I deal with a fairly large number of machines, all running the same daemon(s) - and the biggest problem I find is getting intercommunication working properly. Not to mention, while network programming is fun, I'd much rather just drop something in and have a maintainable communications layer.
I have to remember to try this out.

If I feel like dealing with a blog hosted on my own machines again, I have seriously got to try this: Frog - Python web logging software
It's in python, which makes it > *
