Signing VirtualBox Kernel Modules

Signing VirtualBox Kernel Modules

These are the steps I followed enable VirtualBox on my laptop without disabling UEFI Secure Boot. They're nearly identical to the process described on [Øyvind Stegard's blog][blog], save for a few key details. The images here are borrowed from the [Systemtap UEFI Secure Boot Wiki][systemtap].

  1. Install the VirtualBox package (this might be different for your platform).

Combining Python 3 asyncio coroutines with thread pool and process pool executors
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Combining coroutines running in an asyncio event loop with
# blocking tasks in thread pool and process pool executors.
#
# Based on https://pymotw.com/3/asyncio/executors.html, but this version runs both
# threads and processes at the same time and interleaves them with asyncio coroutines.
#
# All appears to be working.

What is the standard Python docstring format?

Formats

Python docstrings can be written following several formats as the other posts showed. However the default Sphinx docstring format was not mentioned and is based on reStructuredText (reST). You can get some information about the main formats in that tuto.

Note that the reST is recommended by the PEP 287

There follows the main used formats for docstrings.

- Epytext
