Python peewee orm. How to do a "where in (1,2,3)" style query. It was kind of tricky to find the syntax in the docs/google
products = Product.select().where(
Product.id << [161,162,163,164,165]).where(
~(Product.brand_name >> None)
)

git pr - Global .gitconfig aliases for Pull Request Managment

Install

Either copy the aliases from the .gitconfig or run the commands in add-pr-alias.sh

Usage

Easily checkout local copies of pull requests from remotes:

  • git pr 4 - creates local branch pr/4 from the github upstream(if it exists) or origin remote and checks it out
  • git pr 4 someremote - creates local branch pr/4 from someremote remote and checks it out

See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13705328/ -- I was looking for a way to run Selenium tests for a Django app on a staging server hosted on Heroku using a PostgreSQL database. The DjangoTestSuiteRunner creates and destroys the whole database before/after testing, which would not work on Heroku where databases are added via other means (her…

}

print out ascii tables in python using data in the form: [ ('column 0 title', 'column 1 title' ..), ('row 0, column 0 data', 'row 0, column 1 data' ...) ...]
# I needed to print out ascii tables from data in the form:
# [ ('column 0 title', 'column 1 title' ..),
# ('row 0, column 0 data', 'row 0, column 1 data' ...) ...]
#
# and surprisingly it got complicated because of variable lengths of the data.
# I googled for 'standard' ways of doing this and I found suggestions like:
# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5909873/python-pretty-printing-ascii-tables
# ...which were a bit dated and hard to read or full scale modules like:

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
