Django Windmill Tests – GSOC Progress Update
I feel that a status update is long overdue, but as the corpus of Windmill tests grows, so does the time it takes to run a complete instance of the regression suite. However, I do have some fun progress to report as well as a few questions/problems that are showing themselves now that all the [...]
Google Summer of Code 2009 – Django Testing – Coding Day 1
Among all the excitement of the past few weeks, the start of GSOC appears to have snuck up on me! Started work today on the coverage runner. My progress is easily followed on my GitHub Django fork (until we get real SVN branches). Can’t wait to start posting some real results!
Google Summer of Code 2009: Django Testing Updates!
So my Google Summer of Code: 2009 project proposal was accepted! I will be working on a 2 phase project revolving around Django’s testing framework, and regression suite. Most notebly, I plan to: Implement Windmill test coverage for Django’s Infamous contrib.admin Provide several missing features/conveniences to the Django testing tools While it may not be [...]
Finally! A Django IDE with Real Code Completion and Template Support
Now it seems like forever ago, but I have been on the hunt for a good Django IDE for a very long time. I have tried PyDev, Aptana, Komodo, TextMate, Vim, Emacs, Wing IDE and every variation in between, but was never satisfied with the featurset. I wanted complete python language support and completion, complete [...]
Code Review in Rietveld with bzr/Bazaar
I like bzr. Those of us that do (like bzr) aren’t quite as popular as the git lovers and as a result, we don’t see tools as fantastic as Rietveld, Github and Git-CL being spread around on domains outside of launchpad.net. While this isn’t the end of the world, it certainly represented a hurdle when [...]
Bazaar and its Rockage
So, I think most of the open source world has agreed that the DRCS model fits our working style better than the traditional model pushed by SVN and CVS etc. And in this DRCS world we have rallied around 3 main tools: Bzr, hg, and git. And in an even greater display of complacency we [...]

If your in the greater Salt Lake area and love python swing by the meeting this evening! We’re doing a python editor head-to-head, should be fun!
Speaking at UT Code Camp
So, if you live in the greater Salt Lake City area, there’s a pretty cool low key (and free!) conference coming up, the Utah Code Camp. I’ll be doing a little talk on getting data out of HTML with Python (utilizing lxml and twill). If your interested, you can register here.
Back From PyCon, Break
So I just returned from my massive onslaught of travel that started with PyCon, took me from one US coast to the other, a Carribean island, and then back home to Washington D.C. I’m on Spring Break for the rest of the week, and hope to get some good blog posts in reguarding the awesomness [...]
Can Someone Get Us A Real Django IDE?
So the more I work with Django the more I long for a solid development environment to work in. I use Wingware for much of my python development, with its rockin debugger and code completion, its more than I could ask for. Until the curse of the Java class. This quarter I’m taking a Java [...]
