Back to Eclipse

Joon was using Eclipse and I looked over his shoulder and saw code completion. My eyes popped. Wha? I left Eclipse because it didn't have code completion rant rant. Turns out my memory was half right. Eclipse will do code completion only for registered modules. Some modules are registered by default and I saw code completion for those, but not for the ones I wrote and imported in my code.

Komodo has this nice feature that it will parse every file you import and generate the tables for code completion on the fly.

It seems that Pydev (Eclipse plugin for Python) requires you to register the module by going to Eclipse->Preferences->Pydev->Interpreter-Python and add the module directory to PYTHONPATH. [from here]

But, open source is open source. Komodo edit is nice, but its not the full thing - which costs money. So I think I will take up eclipse again...

A note on Python's __exit__() and errors

Python's context managers are a very neat way of handling code that needs a teardown once you are done. Python objects have do have a destructor method ( __del__ ) called right before the last instance of the object is about to be destroyed. You can do a teardown there. However there is a lot of fine print to the __del__ method. A cleaner way of doing tear-downs is through Python's context manager , manifested as the with keyword. class CrushMe: def __init__(self): self.f = open('test.txt', 'w') def foo(self, a, b): self.f.write(str(a - b)) def __enter__(self): return self def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb): self.f.close() return True with CrushMe() as c: c.foo(2, 3) One thing that is important, and that got me just now, is error handling. I made the mistake of ignoring all those 'junk' arguments ( exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb ). I just skimmed the docs and what popped out is that you need to return True or

Using adminer on Mac OS X

adminer is a nice php based sqlite manager. I prefer the firefox plugin "sqlite manager" but it currently has a strange issue with FF5 that basically makes it unworkable, so I was looking for an alternative to tide me over. I really don't want apache running all the time on my computer and don't want people browsing to my computer, so what I needed to do was: Download the adminer php script into /Library/WebServer/Documents/ Change /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to allow running of php scripts (uncomment the line that begins: LoadModule php5_module Start the apache server: sudo apachectl -k start Operate the script by going to localhost Stop the server: sudo apachectl -k stop
