Project Euler: 1

I just discovered Project Euler (thanks to Oxaric’s Blog), and seems an excellent way to help me along in learning Python.

Like many, I enjoy reading other people’s code and the forums at Project Euler are especially interesting because they cover such a wide range of languages and approaches for even the simplest problems. With that in mind, I think I will see how I can do!

Scalculator 0.3 Release!

I finally (and hopefully) figured out how to create .deb packages for Scalculator!

Scalculator v0.2 Release!

Woo-hoo! Work progresses on the Scalculator, and a source tarball is available for version 0.2!

Python: doctest always allow ELLIPSIS

I like to try to use doctest, but I was getting tired of always adding:

#doctest +ELLIPSIS

all the time. It’s ugly and tedious.

Python inner classes

Just a little note about something strange (to me) that I noticed today working on my little python project:

In Search Of … A Python IDE

I’ve finally gotten started on developing an open-source desktop version of The Scalculator, which has its roots in a moderately popular perl web app I wrote many years ago.

After looking at a few options, I settled in on Python as the language and QT as the graphical toolkit – and after a few days of development I thought I might put a little effort into finding an IDE in hopes it would help me be a bit more productive.

Keep in mind I am not a professional developer, python or otherwise, so please keep my thoughts in that context. I’m probably looking more toward a more powerful text editor than a full-fledged IDE compared to a more professional developer.
