Been doing minor tweaks and fixes in response to bug-reports from people testing PyOpenGL.  So far mostly changes to the test suite.  Discovered that a bzr checkout on Vista wouldn't pick up the now-bundled GLE or GLUT DLLs due to access restrictions, hopefully have that fixed now.  Seeing a GLU NURBs failure on the PRoesch ...

Got some time on the train home today to work on RSR.  I'm going to consider it beta 1 now.  There are some packaging fixes needed (e.g. getting the dependencies declared), but it seems basically finished as far as the code is concerned.  With wxPython installed:

easy_install SquareMap
easy_install RunSnakeRun

which should, if all the ...

We'll be going free-form at PyGTA on Tuesday.  Discussions, debates, packages, projects, problems, you name it.  Bring what you have, help with what others bring, be all you can be.  Regular time and place, 7:15pm on the third Tuesday at Linux Caffe.

This baby has been cooking for way too long.  If there's no show-stoppers reported, PyOpenGL 3.0.0c1 should be the same as the final release.  The only big change from the last beta is that it now includes GLUT and GLE implementations packaged as data-files for Win32 deployments.

3.0.0 is a complete rewrite of PyOpenGL using ...

My cell phone's charger wound up left in St. Maarten, and since it was a piece of junk anyway I'm thinking I'll replace it with a reasonably "hackable" cell phone.  I'd particularly like something that can run Python, which I *think* limits me to Nokia S60-based devices.  So, what does the lazy-web suggest, what's the ...

Call for sprints at PyCon has gone out.  I'm wanting to spend the time on PyOpenGL/OpenGLContext and SimpleParse/TTFQuery/PyDispatcher and the related libraries.  However, what I'd like to do is sprint on something "demoish" or "game engine-ish", that is, I want PyOpenGL 3.0.0 final out and a new release of the various libraries out, but then ...

Have been having a great couple of weeks for contributors.  Frank has been doing far more work on SquareMap (the visualization component used in RunSnakeRun) than I have, and Godson is looking at the Asterisk 1.6 extensions for StarPy.  It really does make me feel better about projects when they move forward without waiting for ...

Quiet weekend, mostly out with friends and family, but did a bit of work on RunSnakeRun in the margins.  Got the toolbar finished, updated the documentation, got the "up" button working, cleaned up text strings so they are consistent throughout the UI (e.g. calling the "File View" the "File View" everywhere).  It's not exciting stuff, ...

Stole a few minutes to work on RunSnakeRun on the subway home from Linux Caffe this afternoon.  Normally I just keep working on whatever I was working on when I leave the caffe, but this project is a CGI system and I don't have the server locally... so instead of working on paying work I ...

Myles will be presenting the CouchDB document-oriented database system, and how to use it from Python at PyGTA on Tuesday at Linux Caffe.  First bit is going to be a review/overview of his LUG presentation, then it's to the meaty programming stuff that we can sink our teeth into.
