Editor's note:: Because Sun Microsystems and Microsoft are making news as newfound "partners" and both will be embracing scripting languages in Web services run by Java and .NET, the open source Python suddenly takes on added strategic significance. Our colleague at Open Enterprise Trends spoke with Alex Martelli, author of two O'Reilly Associates books on Python in the enterprise -- "Python in a Nutshell" and "Python Cookbook."

Harvestman

"Welcome to the project page of HarvestMan, a web-crawler cum web-search utility, written in the python programming language. HarvestMan is a full-featured, multithreaded web-crawler written in Python.
HarvestMan supports as much as 45 customization options as of the current stable version. "

Patchable??

Python Cookbook: An xmple of scanning of parsing the ( and ) in a RE

Nice to combine with my own code! :))
"Very often we need to look for the occurence of words in a string or group of words. We rely on regular expressions for such operations. A very common requirement is to look for the occurence of certain words in a paragraph or string. We can group the occurence by boolean operators AND, OR and NOT, allowing to search for certain words using boolean logic.
This class is created to do exactly that. It wraps up a
complex boolean word expression, creating an internal
regular expression, and provides methods allowing you to
perform matches and searches on it."

document.execCommand in IE commando's:

Hiermee is het mogelijk print en saveAs (oa) aan te roepen voor een document. Mogelijk ook zonder dat we om een bestandsdatum gaan vragen.
Ander truukje: zet in de adresbalk "javascript:alert(document.title)" en je zit de title van het huidige geladen document. Dit, als locatie, is vervolgens weer op te slaan in een snelkoppeling/hyperlink in je bookmarks. En hier gaan de mogelijkheden voor het werken met andere pagina's spontaan open liggen ;)

SharpDevelop @ic#code:

"#develop (short for SharpDevelop) is a free IDE for C# and VB.NET projects on Microsoft's .NET platform. It is open-source (GPL), and you can download both sourcecode and executables"

Eclipsing .NET:

"The Eclipse Project
Visual Studio .NET is not the only option for exploring .NET in a commercial-quality integrated development environment (IDE); it's just the most expensive one. On November 5, 2001, IBM released the Eclipse project (with an estimated value of $40 million worth of software) to the open-source community. The project is now maintained by the Eclipse organization (www.eclipse.org). This open-source software provides a core, extensible infrastructure for building software development environments. It also provides a basic user interface and an open API that supports the extension of the product through its plug-in mechanism. Eclipse provides a framework for producing customized software development environments that can either be used internally by an organization or repackaged and sold commercially. In fact, the Eclipse framework is the foundation for IBM's new suite of WebSphere Workbench tools.

PYRO - Python Remote Objects:

"Pyro is an acronym 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. It resembles Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI). It is less similar to CORBA - which is a system- and language independent Distributed Object Technology and has much more to offer than Pyro or RMI. But Pyro is small, simple and free (MIT software license)!"

Zope.org - Python For .NET: "Python for .NET
Python for .NET is a near-seamless integration of the Python runtime with the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). It lets you script and build applications in Python, using CLR services and components written in any language that targets the CLR (C#, Managed C++, VB.NET, etc.).
The package is open source, released under the ZPL. It is currently in beta, nearly feature-complete and usable for real-world applications. "

Modeless (modal) Dialog boxes

JavaScript features several built-in dialog boxes: window.alert(), window.confirm(), and window.prompt(). When a dialog box pops up, the user cannot focus on the original page until the box is terminated. In other words, a dialog box is always focused.
Internet Explorer supports a few methods that enable you to apply this feature to any new window:

- showModalDialog() (Internet Explorer 4 and above)
- showModelessDialog() (Internet Explorer 5 and above)

Introduction to "robots.txt": "
There is a hidden, relentless force that permeates the web and its billions of web pages and files, unbeknownst to the majority of us sentient beings. I'm talking about search engine crawlers and robots here. Every day hundreds of them go out and scour the web, whether it's Google trying to index the entire web, or a spam bot collecting any email address it could find for less than honorable intentions. As site owners, what little control we have over what robots are allowed to do when they visit our sites exist in a magical little file called 'robots.txt.'" - some explanation and pointers as how to use it.

SyncBack - backup and synchronization tool

SyncBack is a flexible, and quite powerful backup and synchronization program that allows to to maintain backup copies of your files and folder, or to synchronize them, so that both locations always have a complete copy (e.g Laptop/PC). It offers different types of actions that let you choose how older and newer files are processed, which files should be excluded (by mask) and more. It offers standard file comparison based on the date and size, as well as optional MD5 checksum, which will detect even the slightest modifications to files. SyncBack also supports scheduled projects, FTP and zip compression of backups, as well as network login, simulation runs and more. [screenshot]

floppyfw

Brief Description

floppyfw is a router with the advanced firewall-capabilities in Linux that fits on one single floppy disc.

Features:

• Access lists, IP-masquerading (Network Address Translation), connection tracked packet filtering and (quite) advanced routing. Package for traffic shaping is also available.
• Requires only a 386sx or better with two network interface cards, a 1.44MB floppy drive and 12MByte of RAM ( for less than 12M and no FPU, use the 1.0 series, which will stay maintained. )
• Very simple packaging system. Is used for editors, PPP, VPN, traffic shaping and whatever comes up. (now this is looking even more like LRP (may it rest in peace) but floppyfw is not a fork.)
• Logging through klogd/syslogd, both local and remote.
• Serial support for console over serial port.
• DHCP server and DNS cache for internal networks.

It will get more features, but only if it is possible to cram it into the one, single diskette. More than one floppy is bloatware..

Handige veelal gratis software voor logging.

Return of the homebrew coder:

Mar 11th 2004 ;From The Economist print edition
"Software: Most modern software is written by huge teams of programmers. But there is still room for homebrew coders, at least in some unusual niches
BEFORE Henry Ford unleashed the practice of mass production on the world, every little town had a few dozen artisans who made the lives of citizens easier. A cobbler made the shoes, a tailor sewed suits and a carpenter built furniture. Mass production sounded the death knell for many specialist craft jobs, and the rise of computerised supply chains finished off most of the rest. But now, a century later, the trend is reversing itself. The new craftsmen do not stitch leather, cut cloth or saw wood: instead, they write software. ... "

: "Q. What is Fermi Linux LTS?
A. Fermi Linux LTS (Long Term Support) is in essence RedHat Enterprise, recompiled.
What we have done is taken the source code from RedHat Enterprise (in srpm form) and recompiled them. The resulting binaries (now in rpm form) are then ours to do with as we desire as long as we follow the License from that original source code, which we are doing.
We are choosing to bundle all these binaries into a linux distribution that is as close to RedHat Enterprise as we can get it. The goal is to ensure that if a program runs and is certified on RedHat Enterprise, then it will run on the corresponding Fermi Linux LTS release.

Q. Is that legal?
A. Yes

A. Yes
