NOTE:

Wrong version of python: import pylab fails, import numpy gets 1.0.1: Doh! Forgot to set new path

  1. sudo /Applications/MacPython\ 2.5/Update\ Shell\ Profile.command #To set path to new python verion
  2. sudo sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg #easy install should know of this
  3. sudo easy_install ipython-0.9.1-py2.5.egg
  4. sudo rm /usr/local/bin/ipython #To make sure
  5. logout and back in to have paths take hold

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.
