| noodles775 | Hey there dpm | 08:06 |
| dpm | hey noodles775, good morning :) | 08:06 |
| rigved | hi everyone. i am using 12.04 and quickly. i was following the quickly tutorial, but i have come across a problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/834986/ | 09:39 |
| rigved | the quickly tutorial says that i should provide only the start and the end iter for the TextView widget's TextBuffer. | 09:41 |
| rigved | but the error tells me otherwise. can anyone help regarding this? | 09:41 |
| dpm | hi rigved, which tutorial are you following? | 09:42 |
| rigved | i typed the quickly tutorial on the cli | 09:44 |
| dpm | rigved, let me try to reproduce it to see if I can help | 09:45 |
| rigved | dpm: i was checking http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtktextbuffer.html#method-gtktextbuffer--get-text. | 09:46 |
| rigved | there is a third attribute: include_hidden_chars | 09:47 |
| rigved | i just now included it in the function call and it worked. | 09:48 |
| dpm | rigved, ah, cool :) | 09:49 |
| rigved | dpm: so, it seems like the textbuffer api has changed, right? should i file a bug? | 09:50 |
| dpm | rigved, I think a bug to update the tutorial would be useful, yes. Which part in the quickly tutorial mentions these arguments? | 09:51 |
| rigved | dpm: Quickly 11.12 User Guide > Getting Started > Here's the code to get pull the text out of the TextView | 09:52 |
| rigved | dpm: it's the part where the note data is retrieved from the TextView's TextBuffer. | 09:53 |
| rigved | dpm: also, i just now noticed that there is a grammatical mistake here: "Here's the code to get pull the text out of the TextView" should be "Here's the code to get/pull the text out of the TextView" or something like that... | 09:54 |
| rigved | dpm: so, should i file a bug against quickly or is there a separate package for quickly tutorial? | 09:56 |
| dpm | rigved, thanks, yeah, a bug would be really helpful. Afaik there is only one quickly project, so if you fire up a terminal and run 'ubuntu-bug quickly', it should take you to the right project | 09:57 |
| rigved | dpm: ok. thanks! | 09:59 |
| dpm | no worries, thank you! | 09:59 |

| arslanatajanov | Hello. Are there any Python devs here? | 19:26 |
| jo-erlend | arslanatajanov, yes, but I'm sure that's not really what you'd like to know. :) | 19:31 |
| jo-erlend | just blurt out your question and see if someone answers. People aren't always looking at their screens. :) | 19:31 |
| arslanatajanov | Thank you for your prompt reply....Yes, I seek advise... | 19:33 |
| arslanatajanov | I have just finished reading couple books about Python 2.x and 3.x...And I want to start "a little project"... | 19:34 |
| arslanatajanov | Let say I am still new to Python but can do something that is working :) | 19:35 |
| jo-erlend | in that case, it doesn't really matter which one you begin with. Python 3 is the way forwards, but it has less libraries to play with. | 19:37 |
| jo-erlend | they aren't radically different. If you learn Python 2 first, then you might get a few bad habits, but other than that the languages are the same. You can start to use mostly Python 3 syntax in Python 2 as well. | 19:39 |
| jo-erlend | for instance, don't get used to writing things like: print "Test". That won't be allowed in the future, so get used to writing print("Test"), etc. | 19:39 |
| arslanatajanov | So back to my "project"... I am a Biomedical Science student and Computer Science student....And I have noticed that people who are studying with me experience difficulties in finding short and "highly understandable" definitions for various scientific words and phrases...And I thought if it would be possible to create a piece of software which contains a set of short definitions for a large number of scientific termin | 19:40 |
| jo-erlend | there is a collection of those... But what is it called? | 19:42 |
| jo-erlend | oh, I misread. I don't know of anything exactly like that. | 19:44 |
| jo-erlend | arslanatajanov, I think that sounds like a cool project. How do you intend to deliver the application, via a browser or a native desktop experience? | 19:45 |
| arslanatajanov | Via native experience, (and If it is going to be successful I would like to add different features that will need internet connection, I've came up with a whole list of possible features, so its too long to write) :) | 19:48 |
| arslanatajanov | I also know C# and have experience in .NET....So i dont know, what to choose, if I choose C# then i'll need to stick to Windows for a long time...but I really like Ubuntu and want to make something on this platform | 19:49 |
| jo-erlend | You can develop in C# in Ubuntu using Mono. Or you can use Vala, which is very similar to C# but very much faster and built for Gnome. | 19:51 |
| arslanatajanov | and I wish to use Python because it is more or less portable | 19:51 |
| jo-erlend | Python is a beautiful language. | 19:51 |
| arslanatajanov | Yes ive heard of it...but I like Python :) | 19:51 |
| arslanatajanov | I would really appreciate if you will provide me with links to some resources with Python apps | 19:52 |
| arslanatajanov | I couldn't find any descent resources on the web by myself | 19:53 |
| jo-erlend | arslanatajanov, I would look at http://developer.ubuntu.com. | 19:57 |
| jo-erlend | http://docs.python.org/tutorial is nice. | 19:57 |
| jo-erlend | of course, there are plenty of apps in Ubuntu itself. Ubuntu One, for instance. | 19:58 |
| arslanatajanov | Hmm..Ok Thank you...Hope I will get something descent in near future. :) | 19:58 |
| arslanatajanov | But I really want to implement it.. | 19:59 |
| jo-erlend | :) | 19:59 |
| jo-erlend | http://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ | 19:59 |
| arslanatajanov | Ok...Thank you again...bye.. | 19:59 |
| jo-erlend | that's a good one for Python and GTK3 apps. | 20:00 |
| arslanatajanov | wow..that last link seems cool | 20:00 |
| arslanatajanov | I was looking for something like this | 20:01 |
| arslanatajanov | thanks | 20:01 |
| jo-erlend | Quickly is the first thing you should look at. | 20:01 |
| jo-erlend | it gets you up and running in minutes. | 20:01 |
| arslanatajanov | ok...need to go...thanks...I've looked at it...and glade...and created couple simple programms | 20:01 |
| arslanatajanov | bye | 20:02 |
