git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master

[dense mist]

woooo it exists now

so, why wasnt that already in my refs?

[sinful zinc]

no idea, maybe you never pulled from it while the master branch was checked out

[dense mist]

ahhhhhh i think i did that

[sinful zinc]

i don't know the history of how you created your repository so i can't say

[dense mist]

thank you much for your help

i've used git really small scale, but i'm trying to do stuff on a larger project

also

is there a way to force a branch to update to master?

[sinful zinc]

what do you mean by update

[dense mist]

I did something dumb and made my own version of the file I wanted to change

so instead of adding 4-5 lines git is saying -100 + 105

and rebase really doesnt like that

lol

so I want to make my branch identical to master

and then just make my changes

but git also doesnt like that

so like git pull master -force

[sinful zinc]

and all you really did was add five lines?

that sounds like a whitespace problem

[dense mist]

well

more like 40-50

but also I was just adding comments, not code

but while I was doing that someone else added another function

[sinful zinc]

you might have to resolve the merge conflict

try rebase -Xignore-cr-at-eol to see if that reduces your problems

wait you just want to get rid of your change?

just git checkout [the branch and then git reset --hard master

[dense mist]

ooooooooooh thanks

yeah because i made no actual code edit

it's super easy to just throw the comments back in

so i wanted to just hard reset and then add in the comments, and then update the branch

so im on a branch, and it looks just like master

so i can just git push origin -f

and on git the branch should be updated

thank you!!!

[lament cairn]

Idle is good

change my mind >:3

[blazing prawn]

it can't display certain characters, it can't open more than one file without having an obnoxious number of windows open, it has no line numbering

the line numbering is the worst sin imo

[lost rock]

o_O

Even cat has line numbering, and that is not even an editor...

[lament cairn]

heheh

my mind got changed

😄

[blazing prawn]

we've been passing this sage wisdom down for a while

[lament cairn]

hahahah

[barren iron]

@lament cairn pycharm, VScode or sublime text are good

If you wanna be a @deep estuary fan boy use emacs

[deep estuary]

hahayes

[barren iron]

xD

[lament cairn]

@barren iron so not atom

Ill take sublime then

[burnt maple]

atom is alright

it's just sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

[dense mist]

what text editor do you guys prefer?

im trying to edit preferences for gedit to see blank spaces

and for some reason i cant get permissions to the settings folder

in windows I like notepad++

but im on ubuntu

[copper compass]

VS Code @dense mist

I prefer that as an editor

But I do my actual programming in pycharm

[alpine rover]

VS Code for NodeJS projects, PyCharm for everything Python. There's PyCharm "community version" and it's free, although without straightforward way to develop web apps (Django, py2web, advanced DB management). Those features are in Pro version.

[limber mist]

If you're a student you can get PyCharm Pro for free: https://www.jetbrains.com/student/

[alpine rover]

Yeah, there are other pricing options. They're really great about it tbh. It's rare to see companies supporting certain groups to get affordable or free products.

[blazing prawn]

we've also been able to give away PyCharm licenses provided to us by JetBrains for our code jams in the past, so stay tuned for more cool stuff like that in the future

[alpine rover]

@blazing prawn that's nice

[blazing prawn]

it is! they also provide open source licenses to project contributors under particular circumstances. the details are there on their site

[heavy knot]

how is this working? https://github.com/timothycrosley/jiphy

I would really need this

[blazing prawn]

it looks like a really bad idea

cool as a pet project but useless for anything but playing around

[heavy knot]

no

it is actually good

now we can execute python on web

without installing anything

from random var select = require('choice');
from random var rint = require('randint');
from time var delay = require('sleep');

this is a problem

[vague silo]

you're not "executing python on web"

you're converting python to javascript

[heavy knot]

yeah

same python program but on web

[true parcel]

brython is a thing

[heavy knot]

yeah or http://www.transcrypt.org/

[clever raven]

none of these should be used tbh

not in a real app

just use javascript, it's not that complicated.

[heavy knot]

but lazyness controls me

[copper compass]

There's no good reason to transpile python for Web, it is very much not suitable

You will find lots of subtle problems and odd behaviours if you do stuff like this

It'll likely be much faster and easier to Judy write Javascript

[crystal stag]

I am having trouble installing python 3.7 on windows using miniconda

(base) C:\WINDOWS\system32>conda install -c anaconda python=3.7
Solving environment: failed

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - conda -> enum34 -> ordereddict
  - conda -> pycosat -> python=3.6
  - conda -> requests[version='<2.12']
  - python=3.7
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

I am using a fresh install of miniconda and have done conda update conda and conda update --all

https://anaconda.org/anaconda/python python 3.7 should be available

[crystal stag]

I gave up and went with the python.org windows install

[balmy osprey]

Is this a good place to talk about pycharm?

[delicate gorge]

yes

[crystal stag]

well
For discussing editors, IDEs, and tools like pip or pipenv
😄

[balmy osprey]

Have you guys tried the new pycharm update? It's visually glitchy for me and I'm wondering if it's just me 🙂

[uncut oxide]

Fine for me

Do you have any extensions that could cause those bugs

That might not have been updated yet

[balmy osprey]

Ooh no I don't think so. but I'll try it with a clean user and see if it fixes.

[alpine rover]

Fine for me too, no issues. Been working almost whole day in it.

[balmy osprey]

I just updated a few hours ago.

[alpine rover]

Try disabling all plugins, then enable them one at the time. If it's some plugin causing you weird glitches, you'll find it that way.

[heavy knot]

Does Visual Studio have python

[alpine rover]

I believe there's a plugin for Visual Studio

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/features/python/

That's for Visual Studio, not to be mistaken for VS Code

[heavy knot]

Okay

Thanks

[alpine rover]

You're welcome. 😉

[lament cairn]

do i need to buy sublime text? 😮

[dawn stump]

no

[lament cairn]

"Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use."

continued use?

[dawn stump]

I've used sublime for many years, I only have a licensed copy at work

but at home I live with the occasional pop up

[lament cairn]

so its legal right?

[dawn stump]

it's not illegal, it might be amoral if you suddenly make a lot of money on the code you write using sublime

[lament cairn]

heheh

hopefully i dont accidentally make money with my code then because its 80 dollars >.<

[dawn stump]

say in 5 years and you've used sublime close to every day, and you suddenly have a well paying job, then maybe it's time to buy a license

but if 80 dollars is a lot of money to you right now, then don't sweat it

[lament cairn]

☺

ok

it wont be illegal so i guess it comes down to my moral code 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉

[dawn stump]

https://www.tenor.co/vzXv.gif

[lament cairn]

😄

hmmmmmmm

is there a lot i have to do to set it up?

when i try to run code by pressing ctrl + b it gives me A:\Python\python.exe: can't find '__main__' module in '' [Finished in 0.1s]

is this what i need to do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i8JtHHjzu0

btw i have already downloaded python

but i havnt done that path thing he did

NEVER MIND

turns out i just had to save it 😄

[heavy knot]

Hey buldor, your problem is probably related to the fact that while python has been updated to 3.7, the other packages you wanted to install have not, which is why it throws this error.

[dense mist]

anyone have experience with setuptools being glitchy?

i've spent a good number of hours googling it, but

this one package works perfectly fine on linux systems

but on windows systems, any script run just says "command not found"

using anaconda

[crystal depot]

I can't figure out if I like Atom more or PyCharm

I like how good PyCharm is for Python out of the box, but I like how Atom's package installer works

[lapis hazel]

pycharm is designed specifically for python, it comes with way more utilities than atom because atom is simply a general-purpose editor for any programming language @crystal depot

[crystal depot]

Yeah, I just wish it handled themes and packages like Atom

[crystal depot]

I’m not sure which channel is best to ask in but if I wanted to uninstall/remove all the python stuff i’ve installed on mac, is there an easy way

and get it just back to plain 2.7

I want to redo everything within PyCharm under venvs

[sinful zinc]

how did you install the stuff

and is this in the system python 2.7, or one you've installed

[crystal depot]

hm various ways i suppose

pip, pip3

other ways i don’t remember because it was before i understood what i do now

let’s say i just wanted to uninstall python 3 at least

ah nm i found some stackoverflow stuff

[sinful zinc]

oh for removing python 3 you can just remove the framework from /Library/Frameworks

system python 2.7 is in /System/Library/Frameworks

and the symlinks in /usr/local/bin

and then you can reinstall

user installed stuff (pip install --user) is in ~/Library/Python

@crystal depot

[crystal depot]

thanks so much @sinful zinc

[narrow slate]

Rewording there then, I'm trying to use vscvode debugger but it doesn't stop on breaking point nor print variables

am I missing something ?

[vague silo]

I'm not sure about VSCode, but in PyCharm there's one button for running which just runs your program normally (even with breakpoints) and one for debugging which will respect breakpoints, does VSCode have such thing?

[narrow slate]

Triied ot find it but i'm not sur,e I have to stop it by myself to see variables and such

[proper dew]

I updated Pycharm today and now when I hit "run program" it doesn't do shit

I run it with debug and it works, though.

[proper dew]

Fixed.

It, for whatever reason, defaulted to "run with python console" checked. I unchecked that in the run configuration.

[delicate gorge]

so

im not sure why you jut deleted that question

but it is possible to checkout commits with git checkout commithash

[dense mist]

i think i figured it out

[delicate gorge]

so

[dense mist]

and it was me being dumb

the version I had on my computer was much older than I thought it was

so now i'm trying to track down the specific commit that broke this program on windows

[barren iron]

Anyone find that pycharm is much faster at loading python code?

Feels alot faster than VScode

[uncut oxide]

No

[barren iron]

@mint briar How did you get the sublime linters to work?

https://sharpweb.me.uk/i/totmh.png

Neither of them do anything

[uncut oxide]

http://www.sublimelinter.com/en/stable/troubleshooting.html

You probably want flake8 lint or whatever

The package should have a readme that has install instructions

[barren iron]

@uncut oxide I tried the flake 8 linter but I get the D000 errors

[heavy knot]

hey

can you ask about youtube-dl here?

[deep estuary]

This probably isn't the place for youtube-dl because it isn't really a tool

tools are things like, as the channel topic states, editors, IDEs and things like pipenv & pip

[barren iron]

Its closer to this than python.....

[deep estuary]

I would agree with you Sharp but

Youtube DL is a python module...

I assume that the question is about interacting with it programmatically @heavy knot?

Probably either off topic if you are using it as a program, or a help channel if you are trying to work with it in Python

[lapis hazel]

anyone have any idea why pycharm is saying this? the program runs as expected so i don't see the problem.

[copper compass]

you didn't mark the directory as a source directory

[lapis hazel]

ah okay, thanks :D

[fading glen]

So it seems like Mu Editor runs Python 3.6.3 inside of a specific directory, instead of whatever version you have installed.

I don't think I like that.

[blazing prawn]

s'pretty standard for distributed Python applications

unless you mean that that's the only interpreter it ever uses to run code

[fading glen]

That would be what I mean.

[blazing prawn]

that's a little weird

[fading glen]

And, I would assume that it's dangerous to up/downgrade it because of how the editor is written.

[blazing prawn]

yeah you shouldn't be tampering with an application locked version. from that I've seen of screenshots it does seem like Mu is very beginner oriented so that might explain why it's locked down that way

[heavy knot]

we are having problem setting up atom

can someone pls help us

[copper compass]

!t ask

[rancid schooner]

ask

Asking good questions will yield a much higher chance of a quick response:

• Don't ask to ask your question, just go ahead and tell us your problem.
• Try to solve the problem on your own first, we're not going to write code for you.
• Show us the code you've tried and any errors or unexpected results it's giving
• Keep your patience while we're helping you.

You can find a much more detailed explanation on our website.

[heavy knot]

actually helping @fervent sierra

setting up atom with python

we installed script

package

and setup the path

but still on using the shortcut it is showing python as not recognized interna and external batch command

[heavy knot]

we solved the problem

no need of help now

thanks for supporting @copper compass

[ancient meadow]

does anyone know how to solve this error in vs code that happens when you try and run code

using f5

Ah i think i have solved it. It seems I couldn't only have a file open, and so I opened a folder alongside it which for some reason fixed my issue

[fossil finch]

anyone here knows to vb.net script ?

[heavy knot]

vb.net isn't an editor, IDE, or tool like pip or pipenv

[copper compass]

VB.net really doesn't have anything to do with this server

Try one of our #315249263103967242 maybe

[lament cairn]

how do i get my colours in sublime?

😦

usually when i typed stuff in idle it gave me fancy colours for commands like if, print, for and so on

[dawn stump]

it's probably set to plain text in the lower right corner

[lament cairn]

it is!

i changed it to python!

the world is beautiful now!

[dawn stump]

:D

[lament cairn]

thank you!

[dawn stump]

no worries

to quickly switch syntax you can hit: ctrl+shift+p and type python and it should give you the syntax: python option, and you just hit enter

[lament cairn]

what is a syntax? 😮

[dawn stump]

syntax is the structure of statements in a computer language

[lament cairn]

🤔

[lapis hazel]

think of it like the grammar

[lament cairn]

so its all of the keywords and that stuff?

I seeeeeeee

wait 🤔

[lapis hazel]

in python you need to indent and stuff

[lament cairn]

are there different types of syntaxes for python?

[lapis hazel]

nope, but for different languages there will be

[lament cairn]

i see

[lapis hazel]

like how in real languages there's different grammar and structure

[lament cairn]

but if there arent different types of suntaxes for python how could i change it then?

[lapis hazel]

if you programmed in multiple languages

[lament cairn]

ohhh

[lapis hazel]

for different purposes or whatever

[dawn stump]

example: C#

class HelloWorld {
    static void Main() {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World");}}

and python

print("Hello World")

[lament cairn]

so he meant if i wanna switch language

😮

what

just type print("hello world") in c

whats all that class?

[lapis hazel]

rust

fn main() {
    println!("hello world")
}```

missed a ;

whatever though

[lament cairn]

hmmmmmmmmmm

why do you need more text to just do such a simple thing in C?

or wait 🤔

[heavy knot]

Because that's just how the language works

[copper compass]

JavaScript

"use strict";

(function() {
    function main() {
        console.log("Hello, world!");
    }

    main();
})();

:|

[dawn stump]

:D

[lament cairn]

dont they have a function for all of this

    static void Main() {
        System.Console.WriteLine```

[copper compass]

that looks like C#

[heavy knot]

It is

[lament cairn]

like is that how the function print really looks inside?

🤔

[copper compass]

I mean, only one of those lines is printing

and of course we don't talk about java

https://gist.github.com/lolzballs/2152bc0f31ee0286b722/raw/c669e34b3836df8d630183f2e587566c7033706a/HelloWorld.java

[dawn stump]

hahahaa

[heavy knot]

class HelloWorld {
    static void Main() {``` This isn't for printing, this is just what you do to make code run when you run the program

[copper compass]

yeah, you have to define your main runnable

java does that too

[heavy knot]

can we post c++ code too

[copper compass]

We're mostly just comparing languages

We're still a python server, and our #315249263103967242 are still the best places to go for languages that aren't related to Python

[slender ibex]

What is the best python IDE to use?

[uncut oxide]

PyCharm

[barren iron]

^

[slender ibex]

is the free version of PyCharm enough for coding?

[fading glen]

Yes. The community edition of PyCharm is more than enough.

[slender ibex]

thanks

[forest bay]

You don't really need the Professional version unless you're a Web Developer or possibly data scientist

[heavy knot]

@obsidian grove i use bash

in windows and vscode

[obsidian grove]

@heavy knot how did you set your python environment?
for example if i do

https://i.imgur.com/F46gORU.png

i have these options

https://i.imgur.com/Xax2lXo.png

@heavy knot how did you set your python environment?
for example if i do

[heavy knot]

why u have 2 versions installed?

[obsidian grove]

but, if i chose one of them i have a problem. i actually use python on windows and on ubuntu

[heavy knot]

oh

what is the main system on ur computer?

[obsidian grove]

visual studio code uses the installed version on windows and my command line interface uses ubuntu that that is not really what i want. this way i'd have to install everything twice

windows 10

[heavy knot]

hmm

what version u want to use

[obsidian grove]

the one on ubuntu

this is my config:

[heavy knot]

ok good

remove the vscode

and download the one for ubuntu

[obsidian grove]

    "terminal.integrated.shell.linux": "/usr/bin/zsh",
    "terminal.external.windowsExec": "runas /savecred /user:Dylan C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe",
    "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": [
        "-NoLogo",
        "-NoProfile",
        "-c", "bash",
        "-c", "zsh"
    ],

[heavy knot]

uninstall the vscode

and download the ubunto distro

[obsidian grove]

do you want me to install vscode on ubuntu?

my distro of ubuntu has no gui

it's basically a vm that runs on windows. much like vagrant or something similar

[heavy knot]

oh

hmm

wait u download the distro from the store?

microsoft store?

anyway the command line for ubunto will use the ubuntu version because it is built for it

[obsidian grove]

it's been a while since i installed it, but i did that

https://www.howtogeek.com/249966/how-to-install-and-use-the-linux-bash-shell-on-windows-10/

[heavy knot]

since vscode is built to windows and installed on windows

it will work on windows version

they are completely different systems

[violet belfry]

@obsidian grove this is an open issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/67

[heavy knot]

u can do that ^

he downloaded the subsystem from the system

[obsidian grove]

i see, thanks for that

[heavy knot]

and yeah make sure to enable linux distros from Windows Features for Ubuntu to work correctly! @obsidian grove

[violet belfry]

that's not the issue...

[heavy knot]

i know i told him that for more preciseness

so he do not get issues while coding or working with ubuntu

[violet belfry]

k

[obsidian grove]

on the first read it seems like there is no official feature yet that supports it. having said that i'm gonna try a few things that people suggested

[obsidian grove]

Note: Building and debugging via the Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL) is currently not supported.

[inner zealot]

Hey, I'm having trouble getting pytest to run through pycharm

I'm creating a package and have a tests file in my root directory, in there I have one test file importing one module from my package, in the editor and when I run the file normally, there are no errors and nothing to indicate that the import is a problem

However when I run pytest it gives me a ModuleNotFoundError

I'm running pytest through the external tools section and have the working directory for it set to ProjectFileDir

I can provide more info about the file structure if needed but it's fairly simple

[turbid galleon]

Hi, I am using spyder. I used to be able to paste in whole blocks of code into the live interpreter box and it worked just fine. Now one day seemingly out of nowhere, it complains "*** SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement" -- I mean yeah, I agree, but so what?

[inner zealot]

Try ending each with a semicolon

Might not work but worth a try

[turbid galleon]

okie

[obsidian grove]

i did it

i'm running python 3.6.5 on wsl and the python interpreter of vscode is hooked up to it

[spark monolith]

any vim/nvim people here

[sinful zinc]

i use vim why

[spark monolith]

do you use tools like ALE for linting/syntax fixing?

[dusty palm]

hey guys does any of you use vs code and build virtual envs?
Im here trying to make a virtualenv and use VScode but then when I try opening the env from the console I get syntax erros

λ py C:\Users\user\Desktop\NOW\App\convertFiles\env\Scripts\activate.bat
  File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\NOW\App\convertFiles\env\Scripts\activate.bat", line 1
    @echo off
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax```

[deep estuary]

Looks like your batch file is being run using Python

[dusty palm]

lol

cant believe I was making that mistake thanks XD

[deep estuary]

No problem

[delicate gorge]

@spark monolith i do, together with several others

[sinful zinc]

@spark monolith sorry i missed your question, no, I don't really use any fancy tools

[forest reef]

Here

[stable notch]

so where are you at. fresh termux install, with python?

[forest reef]

Nope

I am all done

Just want to know where to write scripts

[stable notch]

simpliest is just using nano pkg install nano

[forest reef]

Then $nano?

[stable notch]

then nano app.py will make a file to write in (it'll create one if it doesn't exist)

[forest reef]

Ohhk

appName could be anything?

[stable notch]

yea

[forest reef]

So nano myApp.py will make a file too

[stable notch]

indeed

[forest reef]

Then i have to open it or will it be opened by itself?

[stable notch]

ctrl x to save. itll open itself

[forest reef]

Ok thanks

Is there some better console to write scripts @stable notch ?

Like editing in nano thing will be difficult

[stable notch]

there's vim and stuff or you could use an app - depending on whether you have root or not woukd just need an additional step

[forest reef]

Any app recommendation?

Or should i write in qpython and then run them through termux?

[stable notch]

https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Text_Editors those are the console options. you could get any linux text editor really. Appwize DroidEdit maybe

[forest reef]

Qpython has a bug for my device model where it doesn't accept the py3.6 module

Ok

[stable notch]

i mean if your used to qpython then yea write it there and run it from termux

[forest reef]

Ok cool

Thank you very much @stable notch

How to do ctrl x?

@stable notch

[stable notch]

might need a different keyboard. hacker's keyboard, Technical keyboard (nextapp) or codeboard for example. @forest reef I'm using codeboard atm.

[forest reef]

Well i figured out, ctrl is volume down key

How to run my script @stable notch?

[stable notch]

python myApp.py

[forest reef]

Ohhk

And what kind of Linux it is? Ubuntu, kali etc.

@stable notch

[stable notch]

uname -a it'll report just as a linux, you can kinda install any dist you want on top. arch would be the one the termux guys "support' more

@forest reef

[forest reef]

Ohhk

Ty

Sorry if i am pinging you too much

[stable notch]

na, its fine ^ actually on the above thats just kernel info so the name is on the end, as 'Android'

[spark monolith]

wait what are you trying to accomplish

[stable notch]

just using termux as a dev environment

[forest reef]

Is it possible to open multiple sessions @stable notch?

[stable notch]

swipe in from the left

[forest reef]

Left to right?

Ohh found it

Thanks

[stable notch]

discord has the same

[forest reef]

Hey @stable notch! How can i access the files like .bash_profile

I want to set a PATH

[dawn stump]

@forest reef I don't mean to be rude, but that's a question you can easily find an answer to searching linux edit path on google

[forest reef]

Ohhk

Ty @dawn stump

[hushed orbit]

Does vsc have a "see uses" functionality?

So I can check if im using a function anywhere in my project

[tawny temple]

yeah it's called "find all references"

idk where it is through menus but you can find it through the command palette

would be nice if it highlighted it too as it displayed the code snippets 😦

[hushed orbit]

Neat, thanks

[stable notch]

if you need it i dont think theres exactly a bash_profile. there is a termux-boot add-on app however, so you can have a set of scripts run on boot

[forest reef]

Ohh

[alpine rover]

is there any way to add syntax highlighting for CSS and JS in PyCharm community version?

[copper compass]

Nope

Web languages are only supported by pycharm pro

If you're a student or an open source developer, you might be eligible for a free license though

Check out the JetBrains site for more info on that

We also have pro licenses as prizes for winners of our quarterly code jams

[alpine rover]

yeah I know about their giveaways and discounts

so I guess I'm going to buy pro version

even though I'm working for free on this projects, it still doesn't meet their criteria for giveaway

*free license

[bold spire]

What's the best IDE for a beginner python user?

I heard it was PyCharm.

[sinful zinc]

there's something called Mu-Editor that someone here says is good iirc

don't know if that's an IDE or just an editor though

[forest bay]

PyCharm

It's well-documented and fairly intuitive

[lapis hazel]

in my opinion, there isn't a best IDE for a beginner. id prefer a simple text editor like sublime, n++, or atom, and a command line to run your scripts. IDEs to a lot of work for you which a beginner should learn to do on their own first.

[burnt estuary]

that's a common stance on the subject. May I ask what kind of "work" an IDE does that a beginner should learn to do instead?

I'm asking just to know what I'm missing out using my trusty emacs

[tawny temple]

I can't think of much stuff it does automatically.

A beginner would have to make it do those things

Maybe some consider linting bad for beginners?

so they can learn to read console errors, not sure. I think an IDE is ok for a beginner

not like it can magically write meaningful code for them

[swift sable]

So I've gotten my hands on a license for PyCharm pro, have used CE before. Do people just install and keep both?

[night parcel]

Wouldn't you just have to put the code into the CE edition and it becomes pro?

[swift sable]

Thats what I thought, but it seems it's a separate download. I might have messed it up though.

[uncut oxide]

Yeah it's a separate download

Just keep both unless you need the disk space

At the very least keep the config

Anybody knows a way to suppress all warnings junk GTK apps print in a terminal? Perhaps an environment variable GTK understands? This has been bugging me for years and years uuuugh.

[copper compass]

I've been wondering that myself, although #tools-and-devops isn't the right channel for that question, probably better suited to #user-interfaces

[tranquil topaz]

ye, it's just python the only tech* server I'm in so, wasn't sure, gon go check if theres any kinda GTK irc channels too ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[copper compass]

If there's anyone that knows how to work with GTK, they'll be in #user-interfaces

Hello, I have been using Python on Ubuntu system, and just turned to Windows 10 64 bit and installed python 3.7

I created virtualenv and did pip install scrapy

and got this error

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools

so I already downloaded vc_redist.x64.exe and installed it, but I am getting same error.

Can anyone please help me?

[dawn stump]

it might be a case of having to recreate the virtual environment, but I'm not sure

but I've only seen that be the case on linux when installing dependencies like that

[eternal dagger]

I solved my problem by installing latest version of visual studio dev tools, thanks!

Oh no! my mistake, error is still happening.

[barren iron]

I installed VSC for the first time last night

It's so good...

[meager tapir]

I liked VSC, then I found Atom. I ❤ Atom. You can check it out here: https://atom.io/

[uncut oxide]

The deployment stuff?

I think it's Pro only

[heavy knot]

does anybody use visual studio code

i'm getting a weird error with the java_home, The JAVA_HOME environment variable points to a missing folder

[violet belfry]

Does your JAVA_HOME environment variable point to a missing folder?

[dawn stump]

you can check the environment variables with env | grep JAVA_HOME and see if the path leads to where it expects to find the java executable

[heavy knot]

it does

it's fine, i resolved the issue

i installed a jdk and pointed at it but it wasnt having it so i found the path of the java_home installed already and that worked

I have a question for crawling a website, I'm using beutifulsoup (If you can suggest something better please do) I need to input into a form to return data, then parse a few things out with the returned data. Does anyone know if BS will allow me to input in a form field?

[maiden ember]

BS is just a parsing library, you'll need some kind of automation library to actually interact

Selenium is the most popular I believe

Though it depends what kind of form it is, I guess

If you can figure out how the browser requests the data from the server, you could potentially craft the request from your program and pass the resulting HTML over to BS @placid nest

[narrow slate]

Selenium is the answer

Hi all. I got an interesting issue with Pycharm if anyone can help me out. I have a 'saleor' project I am trying to run using their docker containers. Everything is up and works. If I import DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and write a utility script I can access the django side fine. However, when I try to run the Django Console from within Pycharm it hangs and throws an exception each time. I tried modifying the "start script" but it appears to not be that related... maybe its some magic pycharm does in the background?

Traceback: https://pastebin.com/SqEjuzda

[long sphinx]

ok found out most things. now a question: how can i, with visualstudio code, use venv?

[lyric tulip]

@long sphinx If I remember right, you can choose your environment on the bottom bar.

[long sphinx]

hm, in pycharm i have venv automatically integrated. how can i integrate it with visual studio code

?

i have a question. with visual studio code, i commit and push using my user account, but it seems it uses a different email address then usual. what can that be? because my profile picture isnt shown then.

[copper compass]

I'm not sure about the venv question

But the email you push with is set using git config

Eg git config --global user.email [e-mail]

You should also set user.name

[long sphinx]

omg, i used to use one standard email address usually, now my vsc uses the email address with the domain of the gitlab installation which i prefer. cant i have both email addresses show my profile picture somehow with gitlab?

ok it now uses a different eMail address than theone in my gitlab profile but both thanks to gravatar have the same profile picture ;D

and both emails send tot he same address so

i think thats ok

[copper compass]

You should add both emails to your gitlab profile @long sphinx

It's important for commit attribution

[long sphinx]

i dont know how to add a second eMail address theres only a field for 1 address?

[long sphinx]

ah thank you very much 😄

[long sphinx]

does pycharm support displaying the git commit and by whom of the current line inline?

i just found out the material theme for pycharm is REALLY cool!!!! 😃

[tawny temple]

Didn't I already answer this?

Go to VCS -> Git -> Annotations

[long sphinx]

yes u said there wasnt

oh no that was someone else

omg ok thank you ;D

[tawny temple]

That was me. I meant that there's nothing quite like git lens

but not that there's nothing at all

[long sphinx]

wow thank you! 😃

sorry i didnt see your answer

[lapis hazel]

ever since my python version was updated to 3.7, pycharm has been thinking that i'm using 2.7 even though my project interpreter is still the pipenv from 3.6. anyone know why?

[narrow slate]

@hushed orbit by extensions, I can see them in 'activated' in vsc ?

[hushed orbit]

Ctrl + Shift + X

Do you have Python there?

[tawny temple]

@lapis hazel where does it think you're using 2.7?

[lapis hazel]

everywhere :D

[tawny temple]

lovely

have you tried creating a new venv

[lapis hazel]

i have not, but i shall do so

[tawny temple]

oh and what if you try to run it?

does it use venv correctly

another thing to test

and you can check in the python console tab

see what version that is

[narrow slate]

@hushed orbit hmm nope 😄

hmm I have

(had to scroll)

[hushed orbit]

Then I'm not sure, maybe theres configuration you need to tinker

[tawny temple]

also try file | invalidate caches/restart

thats for juan

[narrow slate]

@hushed orbit it does suggest as soon as you put a dot ?

[hushed orbit]

As long as it makes sense

like if you import os and type os. later (after saving to make sure)

[lapis hazel]

@tawny temple it does indeed run the code with the correct version. i'm recreating the venvs, let's see if that helps :D

[tawny temple]

look at my other tips too 😉

particularly clearing the cache

[narrow slate]

hmm it does only hint after i type 1 character

[lapis hazel]

yeah, that may be it too. i'll give that a go if reinstalling the venvs doesn't do it

[tawny temple]

👌🏻

[narrow slate]

@hushed orbit do you have flake ?

[hushed orbit]

Not that im aware of

[narrow slate]

using pylint ?

as linter

[hushed orbit]

All my python related stuff comes from python

[narrow slate]

you should at least ahve a linter

[lapis hazel]

linters are nifty

@tawny temple that's done it, thanks a bunch ^-^

[tawny temple]

yw

ez fix 🔧

[lapis hazel]

now i'm not getting 68 errors :^)

per file :^)

[narrow slate]

@hushed orbit

[lapis hazel]

(he just showed that it comes with a linter)

[narrow slate]

and I just showed this is in the python module page

[lapis hazel]

sure

[narrow slate]

well, looks like it depends of objects

could you try on ctx ?

does hint after dot for me on bot, not on ctx

[tawny temple]

probably because it cant determine the type of ctx

you could try type hinting it

maybe then it will figure it out

[narrow slate]

Will try ty

[chilly wave]

Would this be a good place to talk about what programs we use to program python in?

[tawny temple]

yes

[chilly wave]

Are there any environments for python that are similar to R-Studio?

[tawny temple]

Not familiar with r studio

can you describe which features in particular you're seeking?

[chilly wave]

I'm looking for something that isn't very command line-y and has the ability to run the code without having to compile it

[tawny temple]

well python is an interpreted language

so no env will be compiling it

[chilly wave]

I'm very new to Python so I'm sorry if I'm using the wrong words

What I mean to say is that in my previous attempts at coding with Python, I've had to "export" the code and then run it

[tawny temple]

not sure what exporting it could mean

from command line you can run scripts directly

like if you have a file called myscript.py

you can just do python3 myscript.py

and IDEs work the same way

except instead of command line they have a button

you just tell it which script you want to run and it runs it

[chilly wave]

Well, I guess I'm just a big idiot then. Do you have any IDE recommendations for beginners?

[tawny temple]

Pycharm community edition is good

I use it

if you're looking for something a bit more lightweight

check out visual studio code

or atom

honestly just check out all 3's websites and see which one appeals to you

they're all viable options

[chilly wave]

@tawny temple Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

[tawny temple]

You're welcome

[cinder smelt]

@chilly wave I agree @tawny temple
I would recommend Atom and VSC of you search for something lightweight which is especially great for beginners because you don’t get overwhelmed by all the options PyCharm has

Moreover I would recommend you to install some add-ones for Atom or VSC if you do decide to use them. These make it easier for you to run the python scripts with shortcuts

[spring pendant]

Yeah, get Atom with the run Python add on, that's what I use

[long sphinx]

in pycharm how do i "create new project from git" without closing my current project?

@chilly wave in case u decide to use pycharm community, theres a really cool theme that makes it look somehow like visual studio code ;D

its alled material theme

;D

*called

[copper compass]

@long sphinx Clone your project in the usual way (in a terminal), then go to file / open folder, open the project and it'll give you the option to add it to your currently opened projects

(Or you can just open it in a new window)

[dawn stump]

@barren iron

what errors are you getting?

[barren iron]

I fixed it by updating python on my rpi

To 3.6.6

[dawn stump]

what does you pipfile specify for python version?

[barren iron]

So i'm assuming it was a corrupt install or somthing

My pipfile im guessing said 3.6

Which was on my PC

[dawn stump]

that's likely the issue yeah

[barren iron]

Yeah alright

That's what i mean't when i said

Will i be fine between 3.6.6 and 3.6.5

[dawn stump]

yes I assume you will be :)

unless you use a specific feature or fix in 3.6.6, but I guess you'll find out :D

[olive path]

Umm

Can i ask for help on .sh files here?

[idle galleon]

I'm working for 2-3 companies from Home but I'm interested in doing some backpacking / exploring / traveling to just get out of my home office.

Do you guys have any advice for making my codebase more universally accesible?

for instance I'd like access to my PyCharm running on my Home PC from my phone / laptop and have better monitoring tools for the output its generating

[copper compass]

I would use git, eg via gitlab

And run my development tools on my machine instead of trying to access them remotely

[idle galleon]

i thought as much using git to commit code
but i want to see if any errors pop up etc

I know I can have my laptop handy with PyCharm but ideally id like to be able to see output and make changes via a mobile / web interface

[copper compass]

There's no convenient way to do that

The closest you'll find is probably Amazon's Cloud9

[idle galleon]

ohhhh

that sounds perfect tbh

[copper compass]

Koding might still be a thing as well, not sure

[idle galleon]

$1-5 per month for IDE usage is pretty acceptable. I'll look into both.

[blazing prawn]

oh dang, c9.io got bought

I was just on one of my old workspaces a few nights ago and didn't even know

[ebon mist]

Have any of you heard of PAGE?
its this really useful tool that lets you drag n drop basic GUIs. I've used it in several projects just to get alot of the tedious stuff out the way
it also makes for a great learning tool because you can actually tweak and toy with the code it creates instead of thumbing through documentation!
my favorite way to use Tkinter

[shut island]

I wouldn't use PAGE personally since i prefer Qt

looks ok though from what I can see in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oULe0h0Jl3g

[civic hound]

does page run on newer systems?

[copper compass]

Yeah I would prefer Qt Designer myself

[narrow slate]

Is there any vscode module to format file like that ?

[copper compass]

I did that by hand

[narrow slate]

damn

[floral hill]

threre should be a notepad++ plugin for that

textFX? unless i remember it wrong

i would still do it by hand

[lyric tulip]

Hey guys, Pycharm user and been doing a bit more with it than normal hobby stuff and getting into some projects that utilize docker. I got one that uses docker-compose and I've set that up in my run configuration. It builds a postgresql/redis/celery build and also a web image that depends on those and pushes. The issue is if I deploy to that I can't reference external files that I may not want in my production, but more for prototyping. Do you have a workflow where you run into this and have solved it?

[copper compass]

The whole point of containers is that they're.. well, containerized

you don't want them to have access to your external filesystem

[lyric tulip]

@copper compass Yeah I understand it. Working in someone else's environment (a web store one). Was trying to prototype some utility scripts for mass importing of products from an excel file. I guess I've tried just switching to a normal python intepreter for the prototyping but the issue is the docker-compose serves my directory as the WORKDIR. I guess if I delete the 'web' node and just docker-up the other components it would work on my local filesystem, yes?

[copper compass]

I don't think the workdir should matter

that's the workdir inside the container

What you should be looking at is volumes

[lyric tulip]

ok. And attach the directory outside of my project into the volume?. I know I'm just approaching this wrong. Have their containers spun up and everything is good. I have a friend that wants to be able to drop in an excel file and have it mass import/update products from it. I figured hey, I'll use Python scratches and just prototype how it combs through the excel form and imports it before I write the front end to grab the file from the django site. Thats where I am.

[copper compass]

I mean, the trick is to not run it under docker in testing

[dusky blaze]

Installed a vim plugin on VSC to force myself to learn it

Whelp. Wish me luck boys

[dusky blaze]

I'm liking VSC mucccch better than Cloud9 though

[lapis hazel]

great, pycharm import problems again :D these are all saying unresolved reference 'whatever'. it seems to go away if i invalidate caches and restart, but then when i change them again in any file, they all go back to being sad. the application works like this, by the way.

[copper compass]

@lapis hazel because you marked app as your sources root

And not the folder containing it

[lapis hazel]

huh, okay

[vague silo]

@dusky blaze run vimtutor on your command line. you'll be faster when editing in 15 minutes, I guarantee it

[rain jewel]

What do people find to be the best tool to use with Mercurial + BitBucket?

PyCharm refuses to clone my project saying that there is a malformed URL, even though it's directly copied from the BitBucket site

Ideally I'd get it working in PyCharm. GitKraken throws a similar error.

SourceTree works but is slow and annoying

Repository test failed.
abort: repository ___ not found!
Repository URL is a malformed URL or non-existent directory

[copper compass]

Mercurial is not git

You need to use a tool designed for mercurial

[rain jewel]

PyCharm says it supports Mercurial

[copper compass]

I think bitbucket supports git though

So I dunno why you wouldn't just use git

[rain jewel]

Friend's project that he set up with Mercurial cos he uses Mercurial at work

[copper compass]

Mercurial is kinda niche these days, I don't really have much experience with it

It's not widely used though

If the pycharm plugin doesn't work, consider the JetBrains issue tracker

[rain jewel]

Thank you, I submitted an issue

SSH just gives a normal error. HTTPS gives that.

[heavy knot]

How can I use the R language in the Pycharm?

[delicate gorge]

you can use the R plugin for pycharm but i dont really see the need to use a language whihc is used for the same stuff as python in a python ide

[heavy knot]

whihc?

oh

which

[delicate gorge]

just check the plugin reposiutories

[heavy knot]

Where?

Oh, I found

There's "R Language Support"

[barren iron]

Use the java jetbrains IDE

By far the best for all-round coding

@heavy knot

[heavy knot]

I'll try

[delicate gorge]

pycharm is based of that IDE and has most of its general features too

[heavy knot]

I was trying to use the Atom

but I can't emulate a program

I type ".\filename.py"

and nothing happens

if I type just "filename.py" appears a error

• CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (teste.py:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

and it's the right directory

[shut island]

if you want to use R then Rstudio is good

Python doesn't have all the stats libraries that R does yet

[heavy knot]

Ok

but why isn't the Atom working?

[heavy knot]

Can someone learn me all thid terms and apps?

[heavy knot]

Teach you all the terms and apps?

That's a bit ambiguous

Could you please be a bit more specific?

[tranquil topaz]

Any pyenv users here? Does it have prebuilt distributions of python? Or does it necessarily have to compile any new version on install?

[heavy knot]

im talking about pyinstaller btw

[flat sundial]

Hi, I am looking for some help with managing a project that has a fair few custom packages. The project has a folder called 'packages' inside this there are about a dozen folders a-l for example, each one is an individual python package with a setup.py etc.
When developing locally, I can cd into each dir and run sdist and push it to a local private pypi index/server. Is there a tool out there which handles this out the box? almost like tox.. as in providing a tox.ini in each package and then calling tox inside the 'packages'
dir which will go into each of the 12 dirs and build the packages and push them? This is apart of a Docker stack, consisting of multiple service, each service would (pip) install one or more of these package in their Dockerfile.

Whats the best practice to ensure these packages are built before the Dockerfile for each service is built?

[mint briar]

@tranquil topaz It compiles new versions, yes

[tranquil topaz]

so no prebuilt distros, huh?

bullocks!

[mint briar]

You can switch to your system version, but any new python versions are downloaded and compiled iirc

[tranquil topaz]

I'ma switch back to managing stuff through conda probably, this has proven to be more hassle than it worth

[mint briar]

Why's it a hassle?

It's downloaded and compiled automatically

[tranquil topaz]

🤷🏻

[narrow slate]

Flake8 or pylint ? Why ?

[mossy crown]

flake8 if you think your code style may not be perfect

pylint if you're a god

[narrow slate]

Why pylint if you are à god ?

Flake8 seems to kot tolerate any non pep8 compliant line, right ?

[delicate gorge]

it finds pep8 violations per default yes but there are lots of plugins for it which can for example even help to find bugs in libraries you use etc

[mossy crown]

pylint seems to be very strict by default

[barren iron]

@narrow slate what anon means is use flake8

It's great for catching errors, helping your write better code, and plugin support

Are there any tools for python 3.7 that compile python to exe

Tried nuitka and pyinstaller

[forest bay]

Looks like PyInstaller supports 3.7 now

Was there a specific issue you were having?

There are only two open issues relating to 3.7: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/labels/PY3.7

Honestly, I don't know of another good tool to generate Python EXEs that would support 3.7

There are only a handful of Python freezers that are still actively developed and have a decent community behind them

[heavy knot]

mayb im not updated

[heavy knot]

[heavy knot]

--onefile windows 10 64bit

[forest bay]

That's the only argument?

[heavy knot]

the file too

[forest bay]

Looks like you need to build the bootloader manually for 3.7 still, as of 25 days ago: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/3642#issuecomment-408619680

Guide on how to do so: https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/v3.3.1/bootloader-building.html

Looks like you'll need the vcbuild tools, which you can install using this (in a administrator powershell prompt):

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
choco install -y python vcbuildtools

Then:

git clone https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller.git
cd .\pyinstaller\bootloader\
py -3 .\waf all

It looks like a lot, but it's actually not too complicated

If you don't want to put in that work, however, then your options are a) go back to 3.6 or b) wait for them to bundle the bootloader for 3.7 or c) maybe find another EXE builder that supports 3.7 without extra work?

Hope that helps

[heavy knot]

cygwin is already instaled

[narrow slate]

Is it in your path ?

[forest bay]

@heavy knot Looks like you're trying to build it using Cygwin...

That path is more complicated

Just using msvcc with the commands I posted earlier will be much easier

If you are going to use cygwin, though, you should probably make sure you're in a cygwin terminal

[heavy knot]

thank u

[forest bay]

Oh, hmm

If you're in just normal powershell, it's probably assuming you're trying to build the non-cygwin way, failing, then seeing that cygwin exists, trying that, but you're not in a cygwin terminal, so it fails

Run these:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
choco install -y python vcbuildtools

Then close the prompt

Open a new prompt

Then: py -3 .\waf all

It can be difficult to know where to begin when you are first starting out with Python. On our website, we have compiled a list of both free and paid resources that we recommend for learning and mastering Python.

It is hard to say exactly where you should start, as everyone will have a different prefered method of learning, but whether you like video tutorials, books or courses, you should find a suitable resource on our resources page

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal#_windows

Use runas.exe to run what ever it is you're doing with Administrator permissions instead @heavy knot

[heavy knot]

Thanks 🔥

[dense mist]

anyone know where I can get git help?

I kinda understand it but there's a few random things I get hung up on

[delicate gorge]

whats the problem

[dense mist]

mostly, i've used git where one person is working on one file at a time, but someone else changed a few lines of code that git cant auto-merge with the changes ive made

[delicate gorge]

awwww your first merge conflict

thats always fun

so what you gotta do now is manually resolve your merge conflicts

if youre using an editor/IDE with git integration it should offer some tool to handle that

if not its gonna be a pain

[dense mist]

it'll probably be a pain, because i'm commiting from a remote server and can only use vim lol

[delicate gorge]

yes that is going to be a pain

I am not even sure how to manually resolve the conflcits, whenever i do that i just do random stuff until it works

https://help.github.com/articles/resolving-a-merge-conflict-using-the-command-line/

[dense mist]

oooooh thanks

there's only like

15 lines of difference, is there a command that will let me just select the lines i want to use

[delicate gorge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

better clone the repo to your machine and commit from there next time then you wont have to care about such commands

[tardy lintel]

since i got summoned in here.... by some1.. how do i add a command, making one in visual studio code?? please come with examples

[hidden quail]

Like in the command palette?

[tardy lintel]

adding

or make

@hidden quail

[hidden quail]

You can write an extension. It's been a while since I've tried but it mostly uses JavaScript IIRC. This article helped me: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensions/example-hello-world

[tardy lintel]

aight

thx 👌

[desert root]

That's interesting....I'm just getting VS Code set up, and starting a python course in LInkedIn Learning where he uses VS Code.....

BTW...installing the latest python, it wants to Disable path length limit.....pros or cons?

[forest bay]

@dense mist Probably too late but...merge conflicts aren't that bad. Basically, git will try it's best to merge the changes, and anything it's unsure of it'll ask you to fix. It should spit out a list of files that have conflicts. For each file, open it in a text editor (vim, nano, etc.), then resolve the conflicts.

Resolving the conflicts is pretty easy. there will be:

A bunch of left arrows like `<<<<<<<<`
<some code>
Then something like this `===============
<more code>
Bunch of right arrows `>>>>>>>>`

Basically, everything after the first set of arrows and before the === are changes that conflict with what's after the ==== and before the second set of arrows.

Pick and choose what code you want to keep, remove the arrows and seperators, and then save the file

Then once you're done with everything, git add all the relevant files, then git commit the changes.

Then, do a quick pull from origin to make sure there aren't any more changes, then push!

And you're all done 😃

It can be really confusing and scary the first time if you're new, but trust me, it gets easier.

And if you screw something up, just do git merge --abort and all will be well with the world

@desert root It doesn't hurt to disable it. It's not something you generally run up against though, unless you're working with JavaScript apps like Electron and a few other cases that have huge nested file trees.

Np

[heavy knot]

opening the Problems tab in vscode always closes the integrated terminal

any fix

[heavy knot]

also theres a bunch of false alarms in the linter

[copper compass]

That happens if you use a * import

It's one of the many reasons you shouldn't use them

[heavy knot]

crapp

thoughtso :/

can i do import PyQt5.QtCore, PyQt5.QtGui, PyQt5.QtWidgets as qt

yes you can 🔥 thats epic

[copper compass]

That probably doesn't do what you think it does

[heavy knot]

wym @copper compass

[copper compass]

You're only aliasing the last import

[heavy knot]

oh

if i put them in parenthesis will it alias them all

[copper compass]

you probably want more like from PyQT5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets

No it won't.

[heavy knot]

oh right ok

[blazing prawn]

looks like you should choose a different debugging configuration https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/debugging

possibly define your own

the "console" option in launch.json controls the output tab

[desert root]

@blazing prawn then I tried using this....cause it sounds accurate, but I don't know enough to understand what I may be doing wrong......LOL....I need to get on with the course to learn that....
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/41600

[tawny temple]

How are you running the code?

"integratedTerminal" is the default option

set it to "none" to output to the debug console

[desert root]

I set it to none, saved the file, even restarted the program.....still opening in Terminal tab

[desert root]

@tawny temple I use F5 to run the code in the debugging window like my screen capture earlier.

...I know no one wants to do someone elses work here, but if anyone can please point me in the right direction I can focus on the course material without the distraction. I am a big believer in researching and trying myself before asking for help....but it's a Catch 22 😁 I need to learn to learn to edit the config....and I really don't wanna break something and have to reinstall and reconfig what I already have

[tawny temple]

This is my launch config in the user settings json "launch": { "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "python", "request": "launch", "name": "Python: Current File", "program": "${file}", "console": "none" } ] },

and I can confirm that the output is displayed in the 'Debug Console' tab when I run with F5

[desert root]

😁 I might just get the hang of this

@tawny temple ty ty

[random breach]

hey guys

how do i figure out the correct pip install command for installing this branch? https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet/tree/py37

[tawny temple]

you do git+https://...@branch-name I believe

[random breach]

so pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet.git@py37 right?

[tawny temple]

I believe so

[random breach]

Installing -e git+https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet.git@py37...
WARNING: pipenv requires an #egg fragment for version controlled dependencies. Please install remote dependency in the form git+https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet.git#egg=<package-name>.
ABORTING INSTALL... You will have to reinstall any packages that failed to install.
You may have to manually run pipenv lock when you are finished.

[tawny temple]

it may say it needs the egg name specified or something, but that might

yeah

so do what it says and add #egg=<package-name> to the end

[random breach]

is pythonnet the package name?

[tawny temple]

Presumably

[random breach]

[delicate gorge]

Is it possible to use shell scripts in the paths for the cpp configuration for includes in vscode?

[heavy knot]

https://moox.io/blog/keep-in-sync-git-repos-on-github-gitlab-bitbucket/ 👌 This helped me a lot

[copper compass]

We just use gitlab's mirroring feature for that lol

But you can definitely have multiple upstreams

[heavy knot]

For own personal projects I find the upstream better

but group project I'd definitely use what you said

[copper compass]

Nah, I find it easier to do that for personal projects too

Nothing is easier than automatic

[heavy knot]

well, I find writting 2 command lines pretty easy 😛

[hushed orbit]

So say i started a new project, and accidently chose py 3.6 for my pipenv interpreter; how would I change that to python 3.7

[maiden ember]

I've never used virtual envs in Python, help

[desert root]

VS Code.... 🍭 for an answer? ....so anyways, "python.linting.lintOnSave": true and only options are boolean. I tried altering syntax to see if I linting would work dynamically, and then ran to confirm linting was picking up the error and it did.

I want it to lint dynamically as I write the code. I reviewed the settings file and here.... https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/linting and if it is there I don't recognize it.

Is it something that might be available in another linter, and would multiple linters run together or are the mutually exclusive?

Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated. 🇨🇦

[maiden ember]

Why do you want linting to run continuously? You could just take a habit of saving a file after writing a function or whatever

you could also run the linter manually

[desert root]

@maiden ember I'm new to python and to the IDE.....figured it might help me write it right....LOL....the first time and save me a bunch of time finding mistakes.....and ideas and questions like this just pop into my head and I want to know how far I can go with a program to configure it to make use of it's features......if it is a feature....... 😉

if not.....then i know

Maybe it is possible but when i enable it I don't like it, I still prefer to make informed and experienced decisions.....

[desert root]

@maiden ember oh oh.....I just clued in....I did look for a way in VS to run a linter command....I have looked, how to run the linter manually please?

[maiden ember]

Run the Python: Run Linting command, use ctrl shift P to bring up the command thing

There's prob a way to bind it to a key but I've never tried

[tawny temple]

Results show up in the Output window

Gotta select 'Python' from the drop-down there

Oh it also shows up in Problems window

[weary fulcrum]

@heavy knot what are the probs like in wingler?

[heavy knot]

it lets you run an interpreter inside a running process

so you can do things like change variables, run a function etc, and it affects the running process

[weary fulcrum]

Here is a quick link for debugging in Pycharm

https://www.google.com/search?q=debugging+with+pycharm&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS807US807&oq=debugging+with+pychar&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l4.4634j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=1

by the way, if you like wingide, don't feel force to change editor

unless you want to

[heavy knot]

thanks, ill check it out. i assume there's other ways to do what i want in pycharm

i may be forced to use it soon is the issue (:

[weary fulcrum]

oh

for work?

[heavy knot]

not that i require that feature right now, but it is handy

yes

messing with pycharm before an interview (:

[weary fulcrum]

yes, it is, and it will make things easier, when trying to find out why things are not working the way you tell them to

yeah, start creating some projects using it. one of the things I like about it is that you can have the venv created automatically with each project

and have the packages installed automatically, instead of manually

and you can still compile a reqs from it. but play around with it. if you have any questions about it, feel free to ask.

https://www.google.com/search?q=debugging+with+pycharm&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS807US807&oq=debugging+with+pychar&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l4.4634j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=0

check out all the vidz

[heavy knot]

will do, thanks

[desert root]

@maiden ember I'll look into the binding, but it places the recent command at the top of the list so that helps.

I introduced an error, ran linting, and did not get the expected little red squiggly line indicating an issue....but it did open the Output(Problems) tab with Linting Output, which I will assume unless corrected is that is essentially the same but just presented differently because I called the command itself.

I was thinking a dynamic linting would produce that graphic red squiggly line warning as you typed if you missed something....mabye not(LOL kinda like what I see now mis-spelling 'maybe')

and this is just the first response I am reading, will go thru them all 👍 Tx

@tawny temple Tx....yeah I hadn't even explored that drop down yet, always on Python....but now I see, gotta set up Git

I don't know if or when there might be an advantage to running lint vs just running the code which would show issues....unless it was a long file and you might not see the linter visual but the output tab should still show an error....unless you know an advantage or purpose in this case I'll just store it for future reference....

BTW, can you tell me if multiple linters would run together and if that is a common practice?

P.S. I tried to add a reaction to your post, but unable....??

[barren iron]

Has anyone else had the problem where links to the line error in your python code has stopped working?

So I have to manually find the error line now, which is really annoying

[tawny temple]

Linter can catch errors that running the code wont always catch reliably

Like parts of code only execute based on conditions

and sometimes code execution takes a while

so it's faster to use a linter than to run every time to test

@desert root

I understand what you mean by dynamic linting

I think you mean something akin to what PyCharm does

idk if VSC has similar features

either natively or through extensions

[desert root]

@tawny temple 👍 good to know....yeah, I'm still working with PyCharm as well....dunno what side of the fence I'll land on

[heavy knot]

vscode has support for several linters

[desert root]

@heavy knot I see that, I am just curious if it will run more than one at a time......

[random breach]

@hushed orbit the method i currently use is 1. delete venv folder 2. edit python version in pipfile 3. pipenv install

there's probably a cleaner way to do it

[hushed orbit]

oh i solved it c:

pipenv --python 3.7 or so
