[07:00] <thatgraemeguy> morning all, any python nerds awake?
[07:25] <kulelu88> thatgraemeguy: whats up
[07:29] <thatgraemeguy> just want to hear what folks use for parsing command-line options usually
[07:31] <kulelu88> bash commands? thatgraemeguy 
[07:32] <kulelu88> this should be it: http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html
[07:58] <thatgraemeguy> no, I mean if I want to pass options to a script that I'm writing
[07:58] <thatgraemeguy> like for a bash script I'd use the getopts builtin
[07:58] <thatgraemeguy> not to worry
[08:07] <superfly> thatgraemeguy: argparse
[08:08] <superfly> thatgraemeguy: https://docs.python.org/2/howto/argparse.html
[08:08] <thatgraemeguy> thanks fly :)
[08:09] <thatgraemeguy> how is all the arrangements going your side?
[08:11] <superfly> thatgraemeguy: getting there. sent off my application for police clearance yesterday
[08:11] <superfly> waiting for the consulate to tell me I can apply for my visa
[08:12] <thatgraemeguy> eish, so much red tape :-o
[08:12] <thatgraemeguy> is the Mrs still a US citizen?
[08:32] <superfly> thatgraemeguy: yep, and so are the kids.
[08:32] <superfly> thatgraemeguy: to be honest, there's more red tape to settle in SA if you're married to a citizen, than in the US if you're married to a citizen
[08:33] <superfly> thatgraemeguy: I haven't even been living in the US yet and I am already elligible for permanent residence. in ZA you have to live here for at least 5 years on another sort of permit before you're allowed to apply for permanent residence
[08:37] <thatgraemeguy> nice
[09:53] <thatgraemeguy> thanks superfly, argparse is amazing
[09:53] <superfly> thatgraemeguy: you're welcome :-)
[09:53] <thatgraemeguy> (compared with getopt in bash) :-o
[09:53] <superfly> there are times when I wish it were a little better, but for the most part it's a charm
[09:53] <thatgraemeguy> don't need to write a whole lot of code to handle missing args and printing help, so cool
[09:55] <superfly> yup, it takes a lot of the boilerplate out
[10:23] <jerit> guys I did a sudo rm -rf / and now nothing works anymore
[10:26] <superfly> jerit: that's impossible, you have to use an extra flag to get that right
[10:26] <jerit> :P
[10:27] <superfly> sorry to rain on your party :-P
[10:28] <jerit> eh I just thought it was funny
[17:02] <nlsthzn> alo?!
[17:09] <nlsthzn> it's a me...
[17:11] <nlsthzn> (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
[17:11] <nlsthzn>  (╯︵╰,)
[17:18] <paddatrapper> Hey nlsthzn
[17:18] <paddatrapper> Lol
[17:19] <nlsthzn> (òÓ,)_\,,/
[17:19] <nlsthzn> :
[17:19] <nlsthzn> :p
[17:20] <paddatrapper> How you doing? 
[17:20] <paddatrapper> Bored clearly :p
[17:27] <nlsthzn> fine thanks paddatrapper , how about you?
[17:27] <nlsthzn> and yes... I do seem to have more time on my hands than I know what to do with 
[18:01] <nlsthzn> I see many (-(-_(-_-)_-)-) ...
[18:03] <paddatrapper> nlsthzn: this week has been insane... But I'm good thanks 
[18:04] <nlsthzn> good to hear, hope it quiets down now for the downhill run to weekend
[18:06] <kulelu88> any Pythonistas lurking here?
[18:07] <nlsthzn> print "Hello World"
[18:08] <nlsthzn> can't help with more than that, sorry
[18:09] <nlsthzn> cheers all, have fun ^_^
[18:15] <paddatrapper> kulelu88: I know some
[18:16] <kulelu88> paddatrapper: you familiar with REST APIs and asyncio?
[18:16] <paddatrapper> kulelu88: no... Sorry 
[18:16] <kulelu88> ok :)
[21:05] <kulelu88> superfly: does it make sense to use a synchronous framework as a wrapper(for a REST API) on top of an async library? 
[21:06] <superfly> kulelu88: I honestly don't know. and I can't help right now, my sleeping tablet has just kicked in
[21:07] <kulelu88> sure thing. rest easy superfly
