I’ve spend the last hour hunting for a rogue print somewhere in my code. I almost never use a debugger these days, relying almost exclusively on debug prints. Python makes it easy and Scite makes that even easier. That habit has just bit me in the ass. Like I said, I spend the last hour [...]

It’s been a year now since I’ve started using Python and wxPython and it has been a wonderful experience. What I didn’t realize until now was how much useful code I’ve written during this time, code that could be useful to others as well.
I’ve decided to put up a page here, with all the modules, [...]

Favicons are those little icons sites have that end up in your bookmark list if you add the site there. I was wondering where were all these icons stored when I ran across this post that explains that Firefox holds those icons as base64-encoded strings inside the bookmarks.html file.

^(http|https)://[a-z0-9]+([-.]{1}[a-z0-9]+)*.[a-z]{2,5}(([0-9]{1,5})?/?.*)$
These regular expressions should work [...]

There was a meeting of the Python-IL (Israel) smallish community tonight where I talked a bit about wxPython.
I went there in a firm intent to write some code and show some neat cross-platform tricks that are possible with the framework, but instead spent quite a lot of time looking a the blue screen of death [...]

Tuzig is a small software startup that you will hear and read about and hopefully buy stocks of in the coming years. We aim high, but start at the bottom and we want to share this wonderful experience with you so you might teach us something through your comments and maybe learn something along the [...]
