A Lightweight Approach to Aspect-Oriented Programming in Python
in Python added by admin, on 21/4/2008 aspect-oriented intermediate
aspects.py library provides means to intercept function calls. Functions and methods (also in Python standard library and third party code) can be wrapped so that when they are called, the wrap is invoked first. Depending on the wrap, the execution of the original function can be omitted, or the function can be called arbitrarily many times. Wraps are able to modify the arguments and the return value of the original function. In the terminology of aspect-oriented programming, the library allows applying advices (wraps) to call join points of methods and functions in around fashion.

Learning Python Programming Language Through Video Lectures
in Python added by admin, on 8/3/2008 beginner tutorials video lectures
One of the upcoming projects I am doing (I will reveal it in one of the next blog post) is going to be written entirely in Python. I have a good understanding of Python but, same as I had with JavaScript, I have little experience doing projects from the ground up in it. Before diving into the project I decided to take a look at a few Python video lectures to learn language idioms and features which I might have not heard of.

I write a lot of command line tools and scripts in Python. Sometimes I need to kick them off remotely. A simple way to do this is to launch a tiny web server that listens for a specific request to start the script.

Python as Config Language -- Forget XML and INI files
in Python added by admin, on 12/1/2008 configuration-file
A programming language has all the advantages as a language for encoding parameters. I see why it's rare -- too many programmers have spent too much time with MS's abominable INI files and think it's "normal".

Using raw SQL in django
in Python added by admin, on 3/1/2008 django framework intermediate sql
For a django project I'm working on, I need to run a simple query with COUNT and GROUP BY statements to collect some summary data. I tried working with the model API, and eventually fell back to using raw SQL instead.

Human-Readable Encryption Keys
in Python added by admin, on 29/12/2007 cryptography intermediate
Somehow, we have to present these random 128-bit keys to the user, and I think I've found a pretty good way. We use RFC 1751, which defines a 'Convention for Human-Readable 128-bit Keys' - basically just a mapping of blocks of bits to strings of English words.

Python: Some Concurrency Tricks
in Python added by admin, on 27/12/2007 concurrency intermediate
Here are a few concurrency tricks if you're stuck using threads. I used these tricks years ago to write a Swing application in Jython, and I found them to be helpful enough to warrant a blog post, albeit a few years delayed.
