Python Courseware

Python Courseware: "pyCourse is a web-based course-ware product written in Python. I teach a class on Web Servers at SAIT ( http://sait.ab.ca ) and wanted something that allowed for the following:

* News page students can check to find homework due dates, readings, etc.
* File library where I can easily post files I want to share with my students
* Online gradebook. I can enter grades online and students can view them immediatly (and privately). Also like to see class averages for everything.
* Online quizzes. Multiple choice exams which automatically are graded and entered into the grade books.
* Supports SSL if required
* Runs on Windows, Linux, and anything else with Python

So far pyCourse does all of the above. In the future I would like to add things like student file submissions (for assignments) and maybe some forums.

pyCourse was built using CherryPy, a python web application server building package."

AuthXMLRPCLib

AuthXMLRPCLib: "XMLRPC is a really easy way of making remote procedure calls over the Internet.

The standard Python XMLRPC library does not support password protected URLs so this is a module that adds that on top of the standard Python xmlrpclib."

Previous post was about: http://www.mechanicalcat.net/tech/webunit/

Website unit/regression testing tool

Unit test your websites with code that acts like a web browser.

Features in a nutshell:

1. Browser-like page fetching including fetching the images and stylesheets
   needed for a page and following redirects


2. Cookies stored and trackable (all automatically handled)


3. HTTP, HTTPS, GET, POST, basic auth all handled, control over expected
   status codes, ...


4. DOM parsing of pages to retrieve and analyse structure, including simple
   form re-posting


5. Two-line page-fetch followed by form-submit possible, with error
   checking


6. Ability to register error page content across multiple tests



7. Uses python's standard unittest module as the underlying
   framework

dirtSimple.org: Python Is Not Java

dirtSimple.org: Python Is Not Java
XML is not the answer. It is not even the question. To paraphrase Jamie Zawinski on regular expressions, "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use XML.” Now they have two problems."

This is a different situation than in Java, because compared to Java code, XML is agile and flexible. Compared to Python code, XML is a boat anchor, a ball and chain. In Python, XML is something you use for interoperability, not your core functionality, because you simply don't need it for that. In Java, XML can be your savior because it lets you implement domain-specific languages and increase the flexibility of your application "without coding". In Java, avoiding coding is an advantage because coding means recompiling. But in Python, more often than not, code is easier to write than XML. And Python can process code much, much faster than your code can process XML. (Not only that, but you have to write the XML processing code, whereas Python itself is already written for you.)

Matplotlib - matlab style python plotting (plots, graphs, charts)

Matplotlib - matlab style python plotting (plots, graphs, charts): "Matplotlib
matplotlib is a python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures using in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive GUI environments across platforms. matplotlib can be used in python scripts, interactively from the python shell (ala matlab or mathematica), in web application servers generating dynamic charts, or embedded in GUI applications; see backends.

matplotlib trys to make easy things easy and hard things possible. You can generate plots, histograms, power spectra, bar charts, errorcharts, scatterplots, etc, with just a few lines of code. For example, to make a histogram of data in x, you simply need to type

>>> hist(x, 100) # use 100 bins


For the power user, you have full control of line styles, font properties, axes properties, etc, via an object oriented interface or via a handle graphics interface familiar to matlab users. A summary of the goals of matplotlib and the progress so far can be found here."

python director

python director: "Python Director - pure Python tcp load balancer.

Welcome

This is a pure-python TCP load balancer. It takes inbound TCP connections and connects them to one of a number of backend servers.

Features:

* async i/o based, so much less overhead than fork/thread based balancers. Can use either twisted or python's standard asyncore library (twisted is recommended, and asyncore support will be removed in a future version).
* Multiple scheduling algorithms (random, round robin, leastconns, leastconns roundrobin)
* If a server fails to answer, it's removed from the pool - the client that failed to connect gets transparently failed over to a new host.
* xml based configuration file (see a sample)
* seperate management thread that periodically re-adds failed hosts if they've come back up.
* optional builtin webserver for admin (sample of the running screen)
* webserver has methods suitable for both interactive and automated systems"

BeanShell - Lightweight Scripting for Java

BeanShell - Lightweight Scripting for Java: "BeanShell 2.0 beta 1 Released!
With version 2.0 BeanShell becomes a fully Java compatible scripting language. BeanShell is now capable of interpreting ordinary Java source and loading .java source files from the class path. BeanShell scripted classes are fully typed and appear to outside Java code and via reflective inspection as ordinary classes. However their implementation is fully dynamic and they may include arbitrary BeanShell scripts in their bodies, methods, and constructors. Users may now freely mix loose, unstructured BeanShell scripts, method closures, and full scripted classes. Please see the announcement for details and known bugs in the initial release."

FBPWiki: FlowBasedProgramming

FBPWiki: FlowBasedProgramming: "Flow-Based Programming is an approach to developing applications, not in terms of the old von Neumann paradigm, but based on the concept of multiple asynchronous processes communicating by means of streams of data InformationPackets. An application is viewed as a system of data streams being transformed by processes, rather than a single 'dumb' actor doing one step after another until all the data is processed. This requires a paradigm shift which profoundly changes the way the developer has to look at applications, and, although this concept is similar to concepts current in the area of distributed and parallel systems, up until now it has not been recognized that it is also an extremely productive approach to improving programmer productivity and application maintainability. The power and ease of application development and maintenance using FBP is an EmergentProperty of the attributes that make up FBP."

cpushare - the world wide supercomputer technology

cpushare - the world wide supercomputer technology: "cpushare will allow you to run computations on random computers through the internet with the object of generating a world wide supercomputer crunching data 24/7. You will be able to buy and sell cpu online through cpushare in the first global market of the CPU. The cpu sellers will only have to create an account in a few seconds using the client software (sellers will not need to specify a credit card) to stop wasting idle cpu cycles and to start producing more cash than what the computer will burn in energy costs while computing at 100% cpu power. The cpu buyers will have to port their application to cpushare, create an account, identify them self with a credit card or paypal and they will start massive computing too. cpushare will take care of the rest: security, privacy, reliable money transactions and it will enforce an ordered market that will define the cpu price based on the law of supply/demand. Once trusted computing will hit the market cpushare will provide to the buyers an almost total guarantee of reliability of the results and of secrecy of the data being computed. Hardware faults could still happen even with trusted computing but cpushare is designed since the first place to identify reliably broken hardware or malicious users, with or without trusted computing."
