Green Unicorn PythonAnywhere Website Thumbnails with CSS — Boldewyn’s Website A thumbnail view of a website is meanwhile a common sight. Google has recently introduced it in its search results page, and numerous ad services offer more or less annoying tool tips with page previews. What all these instances have in common is the need for rendering the webpage in question on the server and displaying the image only to the client. In this article I’ll show a thumbnail technique that works in the browser alone (given some CSS3 support). The Technique A thumbnail is a minified version of the original. The above will render the element with ID #thumb at ⅓ of its original size. The trick is now to apply this CSS to an iframe element. Since the corresponding CSS3 specifications are not final yet, we have to set the known browser prefixes for the newer CSS properties. Enhancing with Javascript There is one major drawback of the above simple CSS. width: 320px; height: 160px; Auto-Thumbnails It Could be more Powerful A Final Note
SQLAlchemy Python Development with PyDev and Eclipse Python Development with PyDev and Eclipse - Tutorial Copyright © 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 vogella GmbH Python, Pydev and Eclipse This article describes how to write and debug Python programs with Eclipse This article is based on Eclipse 4.3, Python 3.3.1 and PyDev version 2.7.3. Python is an interpreted programming language and claims to be a very effective programming language. The name Python is based on the TV show called Monty Python's Flying Circus. Key features of Python are: high-level data types, as for example extensible lists statement grouping is done by indentation instead of brackets variable or argument declaration is not necessary supports for object-orientated, procedural and functional programming style 1.2. Python identify blocks of code by indentation. This tutorial will first explain how to install Python and the Python plugins for Eclipse. Download Python from 2.2. The following assume that you have already Eclipse installed. 2.3. Warning
Getting Started: Building a Chrome Extension Extensions allow you to add functionality to Chrome without diving deeply into native code. You can create new extensions for Chrome with those core technologies that you're already familiar with from web development: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If you've ever built a web page, you should feel right at home with extensions pretty quickly; we'll put that to the test right now by walking through the construction of a simple extension that will give you one-click access to pictures of kittens. Kittens! We'll do so by implementing a UI element we call a browser action, which allows us to place a clickable icon right next to Chrome's Omnibox for easy access. Clicking that icon will open a popup window filled with kittenish goodness, which will look something like this: If you'd like to follow along at home (and you should!) The very first thing we'll need to create is a manifest file named manifest.json. The next block defines the extension's name, description, and version.
Bottle Bottle is a fast, simple and lightweight WSGI micro web-framework for Python. It is distributed as a single file module and has no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library. Routing: Requests to function-call mapping with support for clean and dynamic URLs.Templates: Fast and pythonic built-in template engine and support for mako, jinja2 and cheetah templates.Utilities: Convenient access to form data, file uploads, cookies, headers and other HTTP-related metadata.Server: Built-in HTTP development server and support for paste, fapws3, bjoern, gae, cherrypy or any other WSGI capable HTTP server. Example: “Hello World” in a bottle from bottle import route, run, template @route('/hello/<name>')def index(name): return template('<b>Hello {{name}}</b>!', name=name) run(host='localhost', port=8080) Run this script or paste it into a Python console, then point your browser to Download and Install User’s Guide Knowledge Base Development and Contribution
The Python Script Collection For Windows - Automating Microsoft Outlook For Outlook automation it is nesseccary to use the makepy utility. You do this either from the tools menu of the Pythonwin-Editor (installed with Pywin32 or ActivePython) or you call the file c:\python23\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\makepy.py. You then have to select the Outlook Object Library ("Microsoft Outlook 10.0 Object Library" for Office 10.0 or known as Office XP). After that Python generates cachefiles into the directory c:\python23\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py or c:\temp\gen_py to tell Python more about the Outlook object library. Here is a well known example which dumps all adressbook entries from your default adressbook: Stallion I’m happy to announce the first release v.0.1 of the Stallion project. Stallion is a visual Python package manager compatible with Python 2.6 and 2.7 (I still haven’t tested it with Python 2.5). The motivation behind Stallion is to provide an user friendly visualization with some management features (most of them are still under development) for Python packages installed on your local Python distribution. Stallion is intended to be used specially for Python newcomers. The project is currently hosted at Github, so feel free to fork, contribute, make suggestion, report bugs, etc. All you need to do to install Stallion is to use your favorite Python distribution system, examples: By doing this on your prompt (Windows/Linux), the pip/setuptools will download and install external dependencies (Flask, Jinja, docutils, etc.). And if it’s all ok, Stallion will start the server on localhost only at the port 5000, so all you need to do now is to browse into the URL Home
