Learn python packaging for Ubuntu and Debian in the Ubuntu Open Week

Hi All,

If you wrote some python code that you want to package or know a cool
python application of which you like to make a deb installer, the
python packaging session is all for you! Do you develop some cross-
platform open source software and you want to give its popularity a
boost by bringing it to Ubuntu and Debian, read on! (Packages are what
installers are for Windows.)

This session will be hosted by the respected Emilio (pochu). I've
worked closely together with him (and others of the Debian PAPT team
like POX & ScottK) to make sure these packages landed well in Ubuntu
Hardy and Debian Unstable:
- Phatch (sudo apt-get install phatch, http://photobatch.stani.be)
- SPE (sudo apt-get install spe, http://pythonide.stani.be)

I've requested this session as I found there was almost no information
available tailored for python coders. I hope many people will attend.
The logs will be available here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/...ythonPackaging

The complete program of the Ubuntu Open Week is available here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek

Feel free to comment or questions ahead of this session on this
thread. I am sure Emilio will read this thread.

See you there!

Apologies if this isn't news here - I've been too busy this last week or so for even skimming the traffic here, in part because I've been messing around with Ubuntu's preview release on a spare machine... and, of course, spending time on their very busy mailing list. :-) I didn't find any mention of Ubuntu in a quick scan of recent messages, so... Ubuntu is a Linux distribution that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular...

I've been using python to write a simple 'launcher' for one of our Java applications for quite a while now. I recently updated it to use python 2.4, and all seemed well. Today, one of my colleagues noted that on her machine the launcher would complain it was missing a DLL - msvcr71.dll However, there's a very grey area concerning the redistribution of said DLL.

The following url points to an article written by Damian Conway entitled "Ten Essential Development Practices": http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2005/07/14/bestpractices.html Althought the article has Perl as a focus, I thought that some of the general points made might be of interest to the Python community. It would certainly be interesting to put together an analogous version of this article that centers on Python. Best Regards,

Hi all, I know that this is something for which I could (keep) STFW, but I'm mostly ignorant of the subject area and under a bit of a deadline. So I hope people won't mind if I truncate my search and ask here. I've tried solo and failed a few times to install various Linux distros on Intel x86 laptops. (The software modem was always the sticking point.) A recent acquaintance has volunteered to guide me through an install tomorrow....

Hi, I am pretty new to python and will use it mainly in combination with scientific packages. I am running ubuntu breezy right now and see that some packages are out of date. Do you have any suggestion, how I can get/keep the latest python modules (e.g. scipy, numpy,...) on my ubuntu system? I.e. does there exist any script/program, which downloads and installs automatically the latest stable releases of selected modules? It would be...

I've been installing Python and its supporting packages on a dedicated server with Fedora Core 6 for about a day now. This is a standard dedicated rackmount server in a colocation facility, controlled via Plesk control panel, and turned over to me with Fedora Core 6 in an empty state. This is the standard way you get a server in a colo today. Bringing Python up in this completely clean environment is a huge hassle, and it doesn't...

Can we open up the discussion here about how to improve setuptools which has become the de facto standard for distributing / installing python software. I've been playing around with ruby's gems which seems to be more more mature and usable. From my perspective, the relative immaturity of setuptools and its simultaneous widespread use is a clear python weakness and can make python less easy to absorb than it should be. A few...

Hi all, I am trying to build a debian package for my python modules using stdeb and dpkg-buildpackage. The package building itself works, I also managed to have an entry point created and I can use my python modules on the Ubuntu virtual machine I use to test the package. The problem is that my modules require the psycopg2 python package and the entry point seems to require setuptools. I can't figure out how to declare a dependency...

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. The idea...
