Setting up SVN repository on a linux machine

Refer to SVN manual at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/svn-book.html

What worked for me:

repositories created by
svnadmin create /path/to/repo/module

initial import via svn import module file:///path/to/repo/module -m "initial import"
make sure you have the following subdirectories in this initial folder that you import
trunk (all the code goes here)
tags (empty)
branches (empty)

local checkout:
svn checkout file:///path/to/repo/module/trunk module
Tortoise CVS checkout repository URL like:
svn+ssh://user.name@machine.name/path/to/repo/module/trunk

User management for svn repositories
Initial setup:
groupadd svnusers #add a new group for svnusers
chgrp svnusers repo/ -R #repo is now under svnusers
chmod g=swrx repo/ -R #the directory tree is now writable by group

For each new svnuser with write access:
usermod -a -G svnusers newuser #add newuser to the svnusers group
id newuser #make sure it took

Rescind SVN write permission from a user
gpasswd -d newuser svnusers

    svn checkout and possibly commit needs access to the user's home directory. If for any reason the user's home directory does not exist or is not writable, svn will fail

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...

Store numpy arrays in sqlite

Use numpy.getbuffer (or sqlite3.Binary ) in combination with numpy.frombuffer to lug numpy data in and out of the sqlite3 database: import sqlite3, numpy r1d = numpy.random.randn(10) con = sqlite3.connect(':memory:') con.execute("CREATE TABLE eye(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, desc TEXT, data BLOB)") con.execute("INSERT INTO eye(desc,data) VALUES(?,?)", ("1d", sqlite3.Binary(r1d))) con.execute("INSERT INTO eye(desc,data) VALUES(?,?)", ("1d", numpy.getbuffer(r1d))) res = con.execute("SELECT * FROM eye").fetchall() con.close() #res -> #[(1, u'1d', <read-write buffer ptr 0x10371b220, size 80 at 0x10371b1e0>), # (2, u'1d', <read-write buffer ptr 0x10371b190, size 80 at 0x10371b150>)] print r1d - numpy.frombuffer(res[0][2]) #->[ 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.] print r1d - numpy.frombuffer(res[1][2]) #->[ 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.] Note that for work where data ty...
