Quicker Travis builds that rely on numpy and scipy using Miniconda

For ETS's SKLL project, we found out the hard way that Travis-CI's support for numpy and scipy is pretty abysmal. There are pre-installed versions of numpy for some versions of Python, but those are seriously out of date, and scipy is not there are at all. The two most popular approaches for working around this are to (1) build everything from scratch, or (2) use apt-get to install more recent (but still out of date) versions of numpy and scipy. Both of these approaches lead to longer build times, and with the second approach, you still don't have the most recent versions of anything. To circumvent these issues, we've switched to using Miniconda (Anaconda's lightweight cousin) to install everything.

A template for installing a simple Python package that relies on numpy and scipy using Miniconda is provided below. Since it's a common s

Showing off the systemd watchdog in Python

Watchdogged

Place the service file (or a link to it) in /etc/systemd/system/ Place the watchdogged.py file somewhere ( and change the ExecStart portion in the .service to point at the file )

then do systemctl daemon-reload followed by systemctl start watchdogged.service

After this you can watch the progress using journalctl --follow -u watchdogged.service change the PROBABILITY variable to something else to watch it faster/later or succeed.

inputs = [10, 'y']
input_generator = (i for i in inputs)
monkeypatch.setattr('__builtin__.raw_input', lambda prompt: next(input_generator))
assert raw_input('how many?') == 10
assert raw_input('you sure?') == 'y'

Interactive Matplotlib (while in REPL) #python #matplotlib

Interactive Matplotlib (while in REPL)

Matplotlib can be used in an interactive manner either in the REPL or as part of a script. Let's assume you're using export MPLBACKEND='Qt4Agg'.

To do this you need to switch on interactive mode:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.ion()

Do not use forEach with async-await

Do not use forEach with async-await

TLDR: Use for...of instead of forEach() in asynchronous code.

For legacy browsers, use for...i or [].reduce()

To execute the promises in parallel, use Promise.all([].map(...))

Convert animated GIF to MP4 using ffmpeg in terminal.

To convert animation GIF to MP4 by ffmpeg, use the following command

ffmpeg -i animated.gif -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" video.mp4

Description

movflags – This option optimizes the structure of the MP4 file so the browser can load it as quickly as possible.

pix_fmt – MP4 videos store pixels in different formats. We include this option to specify a specific format which has maximum compatibility across all browsers.
