Python

banquise (yet another package manager) is now released ! :)

The website is online : www.banquise.be

This is a server/client application both written in python. The server is written with django.

What a surprise, this week-end I received I very nice email asking me some help on the plugins I wrote for dstat. I wrote them more then 2 years ago while listening to Linus Torvalds in Cambridge :)

The request was to enable the read of the password and user from the my.cnf file instead of exporting them in environment variables.

Here are the patch for the release 7.x (fedora) and 6.x (centos 5.3)

The patch is only for one of the plugin, but it's easy to apply it to all of them.

Sometimes I use my EeePC during a meeting, or when I don't want to use my bigger Dell laptop. But of course I'd like to be able to synchronize one folder on both machines to transfer documents that I should update on both laptops.

unison is my friend for this task, but as I'd like to test some avahi and libnotify code to automate and integrate this solution on my gnome desktop, I wrote the following python script : EeepcSync

Instructions on how to use it are present in the script.

Somes screen captures :

of course the code should be reviewed as I'm very newbie in python ;-)
