The switch to PyPy

After many frustrating nights with python i have decided to make the jump to PyPy, any new project that i start will most likely run on PyPy. As you may know PyPy is compatible entirely with python.

link grammar python interface

I now have separated the link grammar module from my NLP project so that is available for others to use, see here

To use:

git clone git://github.com/bluemoon/linkgrammar_module.git

cd linkgrammar_module

python setup.py build

sudo python setup.py install

Python design pattern series: recursive data structures

I introduce a recursive structure in which you can create and object, and add to it at will.

class ObjectProxy(object):
    def __init__(self, dictionary=None):
        if dictionary:
            for a, b in dictionary.items():
                if isinstance(b, (list, tuple)):
                    setattr(self, a, [ObjectProxy(x)\
                    if isinstance(x, dict) else x for x in b])
                else:
                    setattr(self, a, ObjectProxy(b)\
                    if isinstance(b, dict) else b)

    def __repr__(self):
        return '' % ', '.join(self.__dict__.keys())
    
    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        try:
            return dict.__getattr__(self, attr)
        except:
            if not self.__dict__.has_key(attr):
                self.__dict__[attr] = ObjectProxy()
            return self.__dict__[attr]
        
    def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
        if self.__dict__.has_key(attr) or '__' in attr:
            dict.__setattr__(self, attr, value)
        else:
            self.__dict__[attr] =  value

a = ObjectProxy()
a.b.c.d = 3
a.m.d_ = 2

A simplified deferred method

This is much like the twisted deferred, but is simplified down for use without twisted.

class Deferred(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self._callbacks = []

    def add_callback(self, callback):
        if hasattr(self, 'result'):
            callback(self.result)
        else:
            self._callbacks.append(callback)

    def callback(self, result):
        assert not hasattr(self, 'result')
        for cb in self._callbacks:
            cb(result)
        self.result = result


def defer(result):
    d = Deferred()
    d.result = result
    return d

My dot-emacs

see here! you will need, yasnippet, rope, pymacs, ido(i think its included now), smex, cython-mode

# git clone git://github.com/bluemoon/all_configs.git

# cd all_configs

# ./install.sh

emacs!

My emacs setup, i will post this later on to a git repository.

hestia

The basic core of hestia is done! The status icon is currently working and as soon as i figure out how i want to plan the rest out i will start on that bit. See the check mark icon, in the status icon tray in this screenshot.

Currently the project runs a set of commands that you have chosen, and gets the return status and sets the icon accordingly. If the build fails it sets and X and if not you get a pretty green check mark. Also if it fails, you get a notification from notify or notify-osd
