snap-lThis is just wrong02:40
snap-lon so many levels02:40
Blazeixeh, the interpreter has to be written in something, python seems as good a choice as any02:45
Blazeixer, rpython. i'm not sure what that is.02:46
snap-lYeah, I''ve not heard of that before02:46
Blazeixhttp://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/translation.html02:47
snap-lIt  looks PyPy related.02:47
snap-lYour Google Fu is strong too. ;)02:47
Blazeix:)02:47
snap-lRestricted Python02:47
Blazeixlooks like that's what pypy is written in02:47
snap-lDon't use it! It's a research prototype intended to assess the feasibility of using RPython to create dynamic language VMs. The most notable feature that's missing is reasonable error reporting. That said, I'm confident it implements enough of the PHP language to prove that the full implementation will present the same performance characteristics.02:50
snap-lFoolish mortal, the only thing it's really missing is a wide-scale deployment on every hosting provider out there.02:50
snap-lGood morning11:06
rick_h_morning11:08
snap-lLast day for Spring books from O'Reilly. :)11:09

snap-lhttp://shop.oreilly.com/category/deals/spring.do?code=WKSPRING&imm_mid=08eb6b&cmp=em-code-books-videos-spring-promo-direct-finalday11:10
snap-lOK, I feel like a newb11:15
snap-lJust realized there's a way to get documentation in Python without using help()11:16
snap-lpydoc11:16
snap-lso you can use pydoc ___11:16
snap-lAll this time I've been firing up an interpreter and doing it that way.11:16
snap-lSame results, but shorter turn-around time. :)11:17
rick_h_there's a pydoc plugin for vim as well11:24
snap-lI'll need to look for that.11:45
shakes808good morning11:57
shakes808Mr. snap-l: You should bring in an A/C for all the cubes :D A/C isn't working again.12:16
rick_h_doh12:17
rick_h_that won't do12:17
rick_h_though I'm afraid to see my electric bill this month12:17
shakes808you are lucky rick_h, you get your own control on the temp12:17
shakes808HA HA! Yeah, but I bet you are more comfortable lol12:18
shakes808I think it is cooler outside than in here12:18
shakes808And there were people here last week doing something on the roof. I wanted to assume that they were working on the A/C but it would seem not :(12:19
brouschAC is also out at my wife's workplace for the last 2 2 weeks12:20
shakes808:P This is unacceptable Michigan. Your heat and humidity needs to cease. When is Winter coming around again?12:21
rick_h_ok, this nexus 7 shipping is getting annoying brousch12:21
rick_h_http://wwwapps.ups.com/ietracking/tracking.cgi?tracknum=1Z7F382V020059146012:21
PainBankweather is fine.... if your in the UP...12:22
rick_h_http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Portland+OR+USOR0275:1:US *sigh*12:23
brouschrick_h_: I heard all local brick and mortars are sold out12:23
brouschrick_h_: But f you live in Portalnd you'd have to mow your lawn. Here you can let it dry up and die to save yourself from yardwork12:26
rick_h_I have to mow it now! in 96 deg or whatever it's supposed to be tomorror12:27
rick_h_so the boy can play in it, just ring up the water bill12:27
brouschFool!12:27
PainBankbrousch: the weeds that love that temp grow... so the yard looks even worse than just high grass12:27
PainBankcut and break out the sprinker!12:27
rick_h_worked my butt off this year to have a decent lawn to play with the kid in12:27
brouschI had to remove maybe half a dozen weeds from my front yard. That is all12:27
PainBankpefect weather up north... http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Mackinaw+City+MI+USMI0508:1:US12:28
rick_h_trugreen helps with most weeks, but I have to follow up12:28
PainBankneed to buy me some land up there so I can have a remote location to work from in the summer!12:28
brouschIs Portland high enough that a tsunami won't wipe it out?12:29
jrwrensnap-l: disagree, that hippyvm shows that pypy is faster than hiphop, which is very impressive.12:29
jrwrenrpython is sweet btw.12:29
rick_h_yea, the talk of it at pycon was good this year. Lots of interest around it12:29
jrwreni want the vhost-net kernel module to load on boot but not from initrd, what is the prefered way to do that these days?12:49
jrwrenah, nevermind. qemu-kvm upstart job reads /etc/default/qemu-kvm and decided to load it.12:51
snap-ljrwren: I was being facetious. :)13:09
snap-lIt is cool what they're doing with rpython13:09
snap-lI think it's more interesting than parrot / perl 613:09
snap-lmostly because I can see myself using PyPy quicker than Perl 613:10
snap-lI really need to unsubscribe from the Zoup menu of the day. We barely hit there once a month13:12
snap-land it's just noise otherwise. :)13:12

snap-lOld media wants its records back14:23
brouschHas anyone played with tkinter?14:42
rick_h_brousch: finally, shipping updated and shed for tomorrow. Ugh14:42
rick_h_brousch: not willingly14:42
rick_h_sched that is14:42
brouschI'm trying to make a tkinter window pop up for a few seconds and then go away without interaction, like a notification14:42
rick_h_on your android thing?14:43
rick_h_or on a desktop?14:43
brouschRight, so it's like Toast14:43
brouschBut for the desktop14:43
rick_h_and not an ubuntu desktop I assume?14:43
jrwrentk?14:45
jrwrenTK?!?!14:45
jrwrenwhat stupid python book are you reading?14:46
jrwrenany book which mentions tk other than to say "don't do this." should be burned.14:46
jrwrenBURnED!14:46
rick_h_I don't know about that14:47
rick_h_it works, cross platform, and is built into the std lib14:47
jrwrenthat is like saying that Ie6 works.14:47
rick_h_heh, the problem with IE is that it doesn't work :P14:47
jrwrenjust like tk14:48
brouschNot a book14:51
brouschI need it to work on Win/Lin/OSX14:51
brouschTkinter is built in. Show a window, make it go away, should be simple14:51
jrwrenso write 3 ui front ends, or use gtk and make 'em install gtk runtime on windows14:52
brouschThat is silly14:52
jrwren"should be simple" <-- famous words14:52
brouschI literally need a single window to pop up for 5 seconds14:52
brouschI'm not writing 3 different gui frontends for that14:52
brouschEspecially when I don't care that how ugly it is14:52
jrwrenmake 'em install growl and just call growl :p14:52
rick_h_brousch: it's tougher than it seems. When I tinkered with a svn notification app I was using a WX toaster widget and was still a pita14:53
brouschHm, i might have it14:54
brouschHah, got it15:14
rick_h_awesome15:14
brouschhttp://paste.mitechie.com/show/736/15:15
rick_h_sweet15:16
snap-lhttp://www.dragonwiki.com/wiki/images/Dragonuser_83-08.jpg16:21
rick_h_heh, thinking of upgrading your machine snap-l ?16:21
snap-lTotally. You can play chess and look like a bad-ass with that computer16:23
jrwrendragon32, i thought maybe it was an early small 32bit proc, but it was 32Kbyte ram, LOL16:28
snap-ljrwren: hah16:36
brouschNow your desktop can run on Node! http://mixu.net/nwm/17:10
greg-gno thanks17:14
rick_h_oh come on, it'll be async :P17:15
jrwrennative x11 binding :)17:16
jrwrennow i want to write one that runs on twisted17:16
rick_h_hah!17:17
rick_h_well there is bluetile I think?17:17
rick_h_sorry, qtile http://qtile.org/17:17
jrwrenbut is it zomg async and event driven awesome like twisted.17:18
rick_h_right, but you should patch the backend to be all awesome async event driven17:18
rick_h_or better yet, make it all gevent driven!17:19
rick_h_gunicorn mydesktop.py17:19
rick_h_:P17:19
rick_h_ok, I'm done with my itch to get a shotgun, just can't imagine http://www.freep.com/article/20120716/NEWS01/120716003/Detroit-police-Girl-shoots-self-with-father-s-gun17:20
jrwrenbut that is a webserver17:22
jrwrengevent sure.. good call17:22
jrwrenwhy shotgun?17:22
rick_h_shot some skeet last weekend and had some fun17:23
jrwrenah cool17:23
rick_h_my FIL is a big skeet shooter and has taken me out up north a few times, got the itch17:23
jrwrenfor contrast, i have a gun, in teh house and my 5yo didn't believe me when I told her so.17:24
jrwrenshe said "nut uh, no you don't."17:24
jrwreni had to show it to her to prove it.17:24
rick_h_lol17:24
jrwrenand its always out of reach and never loaded17:24
jrwrenyou can have a gun in the home and not be stupid.17:24
rick_h_yea, I know, but man to put yourself in the shoes of someone who's 4yr old child got a hold of it gives me the shudders17:25
brouschNot worth the stress to me. The dogs are plenty of protection17:26
greg-gcontent-less PM "pings" are more than worthless17:28
rick_h_greg-g: ping!17:28
brouschHehehehe17:28
greg-g:P to you and brousch17:28
rick_h_greg-g: doh sorry, can't remember what I wanted...I'll reping later :P17:29
brouschgreg-g: You still in DC?17:29
jrwrenyeah, i'd hate to be that father, but i'm not that father for good reason.17:29
rick_h_jrwren: yea17:29
greg-gback at home now, but flying out tomorrow afternoon to Portland (OSCON)17:30
greg-grick_h_: jrwren yeah. My dad owned ~6 guns, mostly collectibles, but he had them all in locking hard cases, with the ammo in the safe17:30
jrwrengreg-g: say hi to Dianne for me :)17:30
greg-gDianne...17:30
greg-gfrom SRT?17:30
jrwrenyup17:31
greg-gah, yeah, I'll try to recognize her :)17:31
jrwrenmy dad owned countless guns, often hanging on the wall, possibly loaded. We knew not to touch 'em and we didn't.17:31
greg-gI had my bb gun, so I didn't care :)17:32
greg-gthough, it was fun firing the AK-4717:32
snap-lI don't think I will ever own a gun, but I won't stand in the way of people who do17:34
snap-lI've fired guns at ranges, though.17:35
* snap-l is loving this Wendy Carlos Well Tempered Synthesizer album17:58
rick_h_!@#*U(@&$(*#@&$@(#  Launchpad...that is all17:59
snap-lHard to believe it was 1969 that this was released. Sounds like it could have been released late 1980s or (with all of the chiptune madness) 201217:59
snap-lrick_h_: That good?18:00
rick_h_our JS is a steaming pile of @#$#@$%*^18:00
brouschI don't know Perl. Please translate that code into Python for me18:00
rick_h_brousch: sure thing18:00
rick_h_launchpad = SuckySteamPile(smell_level=MAX).explode()18:01
brousch:-D18:02
rick_h_jrwren: is my godfather? huh? http://twbirthday.com/mitechie/18:02
jrwrenhuh, that is wierd.18:05
rick_h_yea, guess you're older than I am on there by a bit. Wonder if it's some sort of first follower thing18:05
snap-lhttp://twbirthday.com/squeekyhoho/18:05
rick_h_you were one of/my first person I followed maybe?18:05
jrwrenno idea.18:06
snap-lMine is later becaus fucking Twitter let someone squat on my account when it deleted it.18:06
jrwrenmy godfather is hammet18:06
brouschIt could be whoever's page you were looking at when you signed up18:07
snap-lI think it's the person you first tweeted18:09
snap-lor the person you tweet the most.18:09
brouschDefinitely not the second18:11
brouschBased on who mine is18:12
snap-lWHo is yours?18:12
brouschA friend18:12
brouschOne I never tweet18:12
snap-lMan, this is irritating. Stupid Excel won't let me set the font color (in openpyxl)18:13
snap-lIt's always black18:13
snap-lwhich would be OK, were it not for the cell being black18:14
brouschYou're so picky18:15
snap-lbrousch: Yeah, I'm a stickler for these things18:15
brouschDangit. I can't get TTS working on OSX with anything other than the system python18:38
brouschUbuntu is much better about multiple Python versions18:39
snap-lbrousch: You'll find that true of a lot of things between OSX and Linux18:40
brouschI know :P18:40
brouschBut now I need to write a custom OSX TTS thing18:40
brouschThere we go. That wasn't so bad18:52
