From xemacs-beta mailing list


Stephen Turnbull had this to say to a correspondent on the xemacs-beta
mailing list this morning. I think it would be just as accurate if you
replaced "XEmacs" with "Python".

Many of the things you request are prima facie reasonable, and
we'll certainly consider them in the light of what they would
cost to implement. But I rather suspect that your frustration
level would drop considerably if you'd stop trying to Kung Fu
XEmacs into submission, and try going with the flow,
aikido-style.

less-tae-bo-more-tai-chi-ly, y'rs,

Just downloaded python for the fun of it. What do I run to begin coding with? Version 2.3.3 When I run the "command line" thing, I get a dos window. Now what? The built in tutor explains some basics about programming but zilch on where to begin.

I use xemacs and syntax highlighting for my IDE, but I'm not a big fan of the default syntax highlighting colors. For instance, in 'def fun():' both 'def' and 'fun' are the same color. I kind of like the vim colors, but what would be really useful is to find various examples of highlighting that people have used, to see which ones just look right. I looked through google groups but didn't find any source of highlighting examples. Is...

What is the best way to run python in Xemacs (with C-c C-c) with real time standard output? Right now, the python output window fills up when the program is finished running, but if the program runs for hours it would be nice to see the output as it is written. I know that I can switch to a python interpreter window and paste the code in etc but I don't care about the interpreter, just about the (printed) output after C-c C-c.

Greetings, fellow Pythonistas! I'm about to create three modules. As an avid TDD fan I'd like to create typical 'use-cases' for each of these modules. One of them is rather large, and I wondered if it would be easy enough to create a code skeleton out of unit test module. Consider the following, though contrived, unit test code snippet: ==========================================================================

I wanted to ask for standard ways to receive data from a socket stream (with socket.socket.recv()). It's simple when you know the amount of data that you're going to receive, or when you'll receive data until the remote peer closes the connection. But I'm not sure which is the best way to receive a message with undetermined length from a stream in a connection that you expect to remain open. Until now, I've been doing this little trick: ...

For example, one might want to use a debugger without falling back to the quadratic behavior of repeated string concatenation. cStringIO wins out in this case. Jean-Paul

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.

But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
