Beautifiers and Pretty Printers Beautifiers and pretty printers are essential language tools. Unfortunately very few programmers use them. If you do not use please start now... that's a real life saver tool.

PyInstaller is a program that converts (packages) Python programs into stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris and AIX. Its main advantages over similar tools are that PyInstaller works with any version of Python since 2.4, it builds smaller executables thanks to transparent compression, it is fully multi-platform, and use the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility.

Introduction | News | Documentation | Get the Software | Help and Bug Reports | Development Introduction to CVS CVS is a version control system, an important component of Source Configuration Management (SCM). Using it, you can record the history of sources files, and documents. It fills a similar role to the free software RCS, PRCS, and Aegis packages. CVS is a production quality system in wide use around the world, including many free software projects. CVS - Open Source Version Control

Tracing Python memory leaks While I was writing a python daemon, I noticed that my application process memory usage is growing over time. The data wasn’t increasing so there must have been some memory leak. It’s not so easy for a Python application to leak memory.

Python Call Graph

virtualenv virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments.

Generate dependency graphs from Python code. This dependency tracker package has a few distinguishing characteristics: It uses the AST to parse the Python files. This is very reliable, it always runs.No module is loaded. Loading modules to figure out dependencies is almost always problem, because a lot of codebases run initialization code in the global namespace, which often requires additional setup. Snakefood is guaranteed not to have this problem (it just runs, no matter what).It works on a set of files, i.e. you do not have to specify a single script, you can select a directory (package or else) or a set of files. snakefood: Python Dependency Graphs

Introduction Patcher is a tool for quick creation of patches against a project source tree. Patcher functionality resembles a lightweight version control system. It has no repository, and only controls differences between a pristine version and a working copy. Why patcher - Labix

When starting a new component or application, I find myself typing out the same thing over and over, using Snippets in my Toolbox, etc.. A lot of setup time is spent organising, fixing little mistakes, going back to add something forgotten and the like. The goal of this script was to reduce the amount of typing when starting from well defined requirements. I was also interested in creating uniform looking code, which can be helpful when dealing with hundreds of different db, model, or view controllers. Basic class code generator

Object Proxying Object proxying is an important and useful concept in many places. Proxying, but itself, is not very useful... obj and Proxy(obj) should behave the same.

Generic proxy object with before/after method hooks. « Python re I needed the ability to "trace" all function calls made to a particular object instance, in order to be able to "replay" them later in the same order and with the same values. (This was useful for testing, I have tests that are generated with randomness and I wanted to be able to reproduce the random test run exactly when it found a bug.) So I wrote this little recipe, which allows you to create a proxy object to any existing instance, with hooks for particular method calls, or for all method calls.
