So I’m currently trying to figure out why the PyOpenGL . test suite is failing. There’s a particular test that looks for VBO memory leakage and it looks loosely like this:for i in range : create a vbo and delete it calculate total process memory assert no leak which shouldn’t...

   It seems that we’ve removed an entry point that pip . uses from Python . . That means that you need to install pip from get pip.py on Ubuntu LTS python . . However even with that done and tox supposedly configured to use pip . . in its virtualenvs, I still wind up with pip . in the...

   So starting to think about a PyOpenGL .x release, which would be first to drop Python . support, so the first one where type hints can be used to declare metadata for type coercion vs the current nonstandard type declarations . The first big question that comes up is: Given an open collection...

   So I spent some of the Victoria Day weekend on PyOpenGL. Biggest changes are: got cibuildwheel running on github actions so that we can get a matrix of manylinux wheels built for accelerate automated upload from github actions to pypi investigate the egl regressions; so far all of them seem...

   So trying to spend a bit of my vacation going through PyOpenGL issues. So far the biggest issues are all EGL related, with the one currently stumping me is that we do not seem to be able to do an eglMakeCurrent getting an EGL BAD ACCESS even though the context view is only ever accessed from the...

   In Pycraft, I figured out the Potions with custom effects, the problem being that Bukkit’s PotionEffectType doesn’t actually implement the keyed interface, but instead has its own .values call, so needs a whole special handler. The code for creating potion with custom effects looks like: await...

   So one of the long standing requests from the boys has been that we have the ability to create potions from Pycraft’s in game REPL. Today I finally got that working, mostly because I finally decided that there was room for a reference pattern to make the whole thing easier. By way of background,...

   Pycraft has remained relatively obscure. It lets you write very close to Python code in the minecraft chat window to perform magic that’s written in Python code on the backend. I thought maybe a few demos showing what you can do with the code might serve to interest a few others in playing with...

   As a general rule, I don’t like to just stop supporting Python releases just for the sake of deprecation. I try to be relatively wide in the set of Python’s I’ll support for my libraries, with my current general rule being . , . . Why those Well, . is still on RHEL Centos for another year...

   Spent a bit of my second last day of vacation cleaning up the PyOpenGL Demos so that they run with current Python ., PyOpenGL, numpy and PIL and can be installed as a package rather than only being usable via a git checkout. There were a few bits of bit rot, mostly around ctypes no longer...

   It seems that someone has created a script to generate posts of the form ModuleNotFoundError... with a generic so install the package article body. I can only imagine this is to get Google ranking. But why is it on planet python It’s a hell of a lot of spam when almost everyone following...

   So for work I’ve needed to learn GoLang, which I’d always before picked up, kicked the tires and said meh on. A few months now of working with it pretty much daily have upped the meh quite a bit. To be clear, I’d choose Go over raw C, but I’d likely pick modern C over Go. Channels and...

   Groundhog Day is a great movie. What I’d like to see is a Groundhog Day edit sitting next to Groundhog Day in Netflix which is just the movie cut such that it is the timeline as seen by an in world viewer that is not part of the time loop. That is, you see the setup, then jump forward to the last...

   It is unreasonably frustrating to me that discussions of the Social Cost of Carbon by Economists are seemingly using models that read like a Libertarian’s Fancy Footwork to Excuse Desired Behaviour. Basically, by deciding that we value the lives of our children and children’s children less than our...

   Is there some trick to running Django test cases when you’ve got a RenameField later in the migration stack I feel like this has to be some obvious thing I’m missing... With a migration say big restructure.py which does this: migrations.RenameField model name ’rfsource...
