I have created a new django project with pycharm and when I use the run server button (the green play button) my server runs fine
#tools-and-devops
lethal hemlock
but if I use the terminal and access manage.py
I get this error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fasgmc'
fasgmc is an old project that has no relation to this project
here is the file tree of the new projectL
settings.py and wsgi both have the correct project name wherever it would be needed
I assume this is a pycharm issue
and ran into similar things with flask
prisma nexus
r u using virtual environments? idk if that could be the problem but mb?
lethal hemlock
pyCharm created a new venv for this project
(at least that is what it is supposed to do)
I am trying to run manage.py from here:
(venv) C:\Users\domdi\PycharmProjects\BankInfozone>
the old project name does not show up anywhere in environment variables
prisma nexus
ok. and just to make sure. if u run which python (or windows equiv) does it source the right venv?
lethal hemlock
(venv) C:\Users\domdi\PycharmProjects\BankInfozone>python -V
Python 3.7.1
i am not sure how to do which on windows
I am looking now
(venv) C:\Users\domdi\PycharmProjects\BankInfozone>where python
C:\Users\domdi\PycharmProjects\BankInfozone\venv\Scripts\python.exe
C:\Users\domdi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\python.exe
could it be due to the second instance of python?
I also changed the app name from "app" to "bankapp" in case it was getting confused with fasgmc's app folder
still
nothing
prisma nexus
are either of those executables the one that is used by the old project?
lethal hemlock
yes the second one...
so that is the culprit
any idea how to get rid of that in pycharm?
nevermind. the pycharm terminal has its own environment variables apparently
Goto File->settings -> Tools (v) -Terminal
edit the envvars
and u will see somehow there is a DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE in there
prisma nexus
cool :D so u got it working?
lethal hemlock
I got it working then decided to switch to flask because the smaller size of the project 😃 so a nice waste of time on a tuesday
prisma nexus
y'know... sometimes it be like that
not a huge waste though, you may run into it again in the future and now you know what to look for
plush tree
Never a waste! I'll bet you know more now than you did before :)

hey so my vscode window freezes whenever it runs the linter, formatter or that kind of thing,
every time I save it creates a new python file named the same way except it has an hash between the name and the file extension, and deletes it when it's done doing its thing ( takes less than a second )
my file is 700 lines long, mostly made of functions that I don't use while I'm working on a new one,
I was wondering if the freezing was caused by the 12 import statements at the start of the file ( most unused ), or if it's just the file that is too big and has to be rechecked as a whole every time ?

@saki hyper-v has to be enabled. Docker may automatically do this for you. Problem is that enabling hyper-v makes VMs stop working. You could disable hyperv again of course but that requires a reboot every time you need to toggle it.

VM or no VM, if you had space, you could just partition the existing one and install linux there, no need of a new ssd if you had space, installing linux would take exactly as much space in a partition as in a VM

@tawdry needle with the official macOS installer package. And yes that’s what’s happening. But why? Is this normal behavior? What is it potentially messing up?
tawdry needle
@hidden lily i think its a little presumptuous on their part to include that in the installer
was it a "system wide" install or a "user" install?
im not familiar w/ the macos installer but i know how conda/anaconda works and i know how macos works
tawny temple
I would guess it added something to the bash profile file
to make it activate an env
just a guess though
hidden lily
@tawdry needle user install. Presumptive is a good word because before it was doing this, the Mac installer was overwriting the default “python” shortcut in the shell to its new version, even if that meant going from 2 to 3
tawdry needle
well it cant really do that
hidden lily
So I’m not sure who controls that or why they seem to love messing with systems
tawdry needle
it likely changed something in your ~/.bashrc file
hidden lily
It doesn’t uninstall it, no, but replaces where the shell finds Python
tawdry needle
yeah it cant do that as such
what it can do is add stuff to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc
can you open those files in a text editor and see?
it will say something about $PATH
or conda activate

manic minnow
anyone have a pycharm theme/color scheme that correctly mimics vscode? all the ones ive seen are garbage
pure pulsar
@manic minnow it's probably not hard to build one if you really know what you want
i mean, i didn't do any color theme for pycharm, but i did for vim and it's not hard, i imagine it would be not a lot more complex for any editor that didn't decide to make things awefuly complex for no reason
tawny temple
Yup it just takes some time. I made a visual studio theme for ida. That's was more involved since its assembly and didn't translate 1 to 1

anyone know a good IDE for c++, python, webdev (html,css,php,js) or most of these languages in one? I don't want to download a bunch of IDE but maybe that's best what yall think? Please @ me if you respond.
delicate gorge
You see IDE usually means that its specialised in one language, you either cant get the other languages in or gotta download a bunch of plugins @white arrow
eternal flicker
if you want support for a lot of languages you don’t usually get the full features an IDE has to offer
for Python+webdev though VSCode comes to mind, but I’m not sure about how VSCode plays with C++
tawny temple
Visual Studio supports many languages. So does IntelliJ IDEA, but requires plugins
Neither will be "good" for all languages

This was the best place for me to ask, why isn't there a button on a GitHub page that leads to the releases. When I want to download a release I always type /releases behind the URL in the address bar
Or is there one?
eternal flicker
on the main repo page, do you see a horizontal section with a thin coloured bar below (that's the repo language composition btw) that shows the number of commits, number of branches, number of releases, number of contributors and license? it's below the description+tags, and above the repo file structure section
eternal flicker
unintuitive design? iunno :p
tawdry needle
github's UI really isn't good, we all just got used to it
pure pulsar
they purposely refrain from adding buttons and things to it, as there is so much you could add that you'd quickly make it illegible, some features are only available by editing the url directly
manic minnow
what it really needs is bitbucket style commit/pull diffs
pure pulsar
you can add .diff to a commit url to get that, or to a PR
well, not sure it's what you asked for, but it's a diff 😛
manic minnow
nah just the ui for the full list of changes is quite hard to see at a glance. you just get a sequential list of files instead of it being rendered as a directory tree
tawdry needle
how about, they actually give me a button for the compare UI, instead of me having to type /compare/foo...bar in the browser
or make it less than 1,000 keystrokes to view the tree at a commit hash and not by its branch/tag
thinking about self hosting gitea or something, idk. gitlab is too "industrial" feeling, its ridiculously feature-rich. the UI is really information dense
gitlab is kinda perfect for collaboration i guess. idk, the world needs the "one true bug tracker"
maybe launchpad. idk
tawny temple
Let's say you get into a situation where you push to a branch but later realise that upstream has had the same commits rebased (e.g. cause a previous PR of yours was accepted by rebasing) and now every commit of yours is different. How would you fix it? Right now I have been using this sort of clumsy approach: bash git format-patch hash git reset --hard origin/master git am -S --committer-date-is-author-date 000*.patch rm 000*.patch
I was thinking about an interactive rebase, where I'd break before my new commits start and do a reset there. That would be simpler if it works

https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/releases
i want to ask you guys, do you recommend anything other than vi/vim based CLI editors

nano?
delicate gorge
emacs and vim "suck" because the skill level required to make efficient use of them is quite high, if you actually know the editor you can do incredibly efficient things which might take you minutes or hours in a normal text editor @vivid cargo

Not what i asked but okay

Is anyone using PyCharm with pyenv? And if so, how do you setup the default project interpreter when creating a new project?
blissful sable
Is Visual Studio Code good?
tawdry needle
@eternal flicker are you using pyenv-virtualenv or just pyenv? in either case i think its a matter of selecting the right option and then navigating to the python executable
so File -> Settings -> Project -> Project Interpreter
then theres a little "gear" icon
vivid cargo
@blissful sable
One of best out there
pure pulsar
if you learn vim or emacs, you know you are set for the rest of your career, no need to learn a new one every 3 years or so
you'll spend the rest of your life fine-tuning your configuration though, and be unable to program on another dev's machine, and people won't be able to pair program with you on your own either
but it'll be great anyway
lost rock

sorry, came in the middle of the conversation

there's always nano
oh lol you mentioned you were moving away from that
well what don't you like about emacs
and for that matter what don't you like about nano
hard tyo make a recommendation without knowing what you're looking for
@vivid cargo
vivid cargo
I don't like emacs because it has weird keybinding that everyone loves
I just can't get used to it
I love nano but i want to try to move away from it and see if there are any other cli editors
I found micro
Seems okay
pure pulsar
Not everyone loves emacs bindings, and they can give you RSI… but you can use vim bindings in it with evil mode
vivid cargo
Even worse situation
pure pulsar
The ones it shares with readline are useful all other the place though, so worth learning
tawdry needle
I would love if somebody developed a new suite of emacs bindings
Vim bindings kind of suck too
And can be even worse with international keyboard layouts
vivid cargo
I completely agree
sinful zinc
i mean, in emacs the regular keys like arrows, home, end, holding shift for select (in gui mode anyway) work normally, and the other commands aren't really any more weird than most other text editors
i don't use it personally (too much into vim), but it really doesn't seem any harder than nano to use at the level of nano.
sinful zinc
i do want to learn more emacs some time
i'm in a kind of weird position with editors in that i like emacs better, but I'm better at using vim
tawdry needle
same. one day ill switch to evil
my big hangup with vim is that it really embraces the "composability" aspect
i hate in emacs how everything is its own command
forward-word, forward-character, etc
the whole idea of command+motion is really powerful to me

Am I using pip and friends correctly? I have one package which depends on another, but I actually have a forked that dependency on my own github. So in the first package, I have requirements.txt with -e git+https://github.com/.../#egg=dependencyname. I got somebody to install the package with pip install -r requirements.txt, then pip install -e ., but the import dependencyname doesn't work (ModuleNotFoundError)
tawny temple
Does it work for you though?
It could just be an issue on their end with their commands
For example pip could be for Python 2 and they're using python3 as the command to run the program
That's a common scenario
little shuttle
Yeah, it works for me... I didn't think about Python versions, I'll check that
Maybe they have Python 3 default but pip2 or something, because I'm using f-strings which won't work on Python 2

usually it's recommended to not call pip as system command but instead python3 -m pip or whatever the interpreter command you use for your application is

Any idea why pycharm's run console isn't outputting PyQt stuff? Makes the debugger pretty useless when I don't see warnings
sand thistle
I am just starting to mess around with the pycharm debugger
I still don't quite understand it
Anyone know anything with regards to git? If I work on one file and make a new branch and change that file, shouldn't I be able to switch between branches and then have different versions of that same file?
or do I need to rename the file
brittle isle
@sand thistle no need to rename, that's the point of branches
Just git checkout to the branch you want to work on and git will automatically adapt the files accordingly
brittle isle
everything commited is “saved”, just remember that
sand thistle
but
hmm
for example I have a file called PyPDF.py
it's in two branches, however in my most recent one I wrote different code
when I git checkout to the branch I want to work on, nothing changes in my PyPDF.py file
brittle isle
did you really commit it?
sand thistle
I believe so
when I do git log
it shows different stages
hashes and labels
I also have 2 heads
brittle isle
yeah but that does not tells whether the file has been commited or not
sand thistle
how would I check
brittle isle
please show the result of git status
sand thistle
brittle isle
@sand thistle here you go, you have not commited any of these files
sand thistle
I thought that meant the red text wasn't comitted
im like 100% positive I commited the originaly PyPDF.py
sand thistle
so then why do I have different hashes in the git log
sand thistle
I was under the impression that after you commit
you are to label the changes in the log
brittle isle
yes, but you have to git add the files you want to commit
otherwise they are not considered part of the commit
brittle isle
do git status after git add to check the files that are staged to commit
sand thistle
? ok but that doesn't help me
like why is the log still there if the commit doesn't exist
I don't understand
brittle isle
the commit exists
sand thistle
but you're saying it doesn't contain my file
sand thistle
this makes no sense.
if it has my pipfile..
then why wouldn't it have my .py file..
can I revert to a commit then?
since it seems to be hashed, then I should be able to switch to that version which would have my file?

but wiki says you can put docs there
so im really confused
tawny temple
GH Pages would be better if you're like using sphinx or something
and then you can host a frontend for those docs with gh pages
You can go either way
depends how fancy you wanna be
tawny temple
Indeed plenty projects just use the wiki
heavy knot
how can I make it?
heavy knot
yeah, like I use gh pages as a frontend hosting
and then I use like idk
heroku or smth for backend
and have them work together
I need it 100% free btw
heavy knot
But essentially I am using gh pages as a domain name and frontend hosting, and some other service for backend hosting
yeah thats what im saying, how can I use a different service with github pages to host a dynamic site
tawny temple
Ok this isn't a serious suggestion but you can just have ajax requests to load the site from heroku or wherever
I've not use GH pages myself so I'm not the best person to ask
heavy knot
hmm
well I found this: https://medium.com/pan-labs/dynamic-web-apps-on-github-pages-for-free-ffac2b776d45
In the (very near, like DAYS near) future I will be publishing articles on:

@tawny temple
this is what windows venv looks like
i can't use activate_this.py on windows
vivid cargo
so os.system() is needed?
tawny temple
No
vivid cargo
i tried to cat activate, activate.ps1 and activate.bat
vivid cargo
all shell scripts
tawny temple
using the shell scripts is not the way to go
vivid cargo
i figured that out
tawny temple
tawny temple
instead of __file__ specify the path to the Scripts folder
I forget if __file__ also contains the file name
or if it is only the directory
vivid cargo
activate_this = '/path/to/env/bin/activate_this.py'
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))
do i have to point it to the venv?
tawny temple
No that's wrong but you made me realise L17 doesn't need to change cause you can specify it in the dict
this_file = '/path/to/env/bin/activate_this.py'
exec(open(this_file).read(), {'__file__': this_file})
aaah
tawny temple
But this means you'll need to move activate_this.py into venv/Scripts first
tawny temple
The entire script operates on the assumption that the script is located in that directory
vivid cargo
yeah
tawny temple
Well
vivid cargo
that what's messing with me
tawny temple
I guess you don't have to physically move it
Maybe changing the value of __file__ is enough
So you'd need two variables: 1 for the actual location and one for the fake location for __file__
vivid cargo
umm
tawny temple
open() of course needs the actual location
vivid cargo
so, i'm going to run this project on different OS-es and different systems
and if i'm activating venv on linux, that's easy
but if i'm runnning my project on windows, that's gonna mess everything up
tawny temple
That didn't answer my question
vivid cargo
i'm confused about how would i go about activating it on windows
when i'm creating venv on windows, it won't create activate_this.py file
tawny temple
This file will be part of your project
tawny temple
when you exec() you just gotta give the right path and that should be it
vivid cargo
let me see
tawny temple
As I discussed you need to set the __file__ to be a path inside the venv
but the path for open() needs to be the actual path to the file
so ```py
actual_path = "/my/project/active_this.py"
fake_path = "/path/to/venv/Scripts/activate_this.py"
And this method is cross-platform
The only difference is that windows calls the bin dir Scripts
vivid cargo
exec(open(this_file).read(), {'__file__': this_file})
what here is fake and which actual
tawny temple
and you can easily change that by checking which OS it is
That line is really incorrect
exec(open(this_file).read(), {'__file__': this_file})
the value of __file__ in the dict is supposed to be the "fake" path
vivid cargo
i tried creating venv with bash and powershell
and neither did give activate_this.py
@tawny temple you here?
tawny temple
I already said you just include that file in your project
you dont need to rely on the venv to create it
vivid cargo
yeah but i'm reading that bash venv gives that file
vivid cargo
okay
frank leaf
@heavy knot you mean the file tabs or the menus at the top?
heavy knot
frank leaf
yhe, that's wrong. you have it opened as 1 project.
can I see your files at the left side?
heavy knot
heavy knot
but thats sucky 
frank leaf
if you create a project with pycharm, it does that for you.
heavy knot
okay thanks
frank leaf
the thing is that it uses virtual environments, and each needs it own folder
do you know what that is?
heavy knot
In the flask documentation, they have a suggested project structure, using their example 'flaskr' blogging application.
In that example, they have a flaskr package, and a setup.py file. Now usually this is for something that you upload to pypi, but this is literally a blogging app, so I have no idea what it's for.
What is the purpose of a setup.py and package folder, for an application, not a package/library that you upload for others to use?
And how do I use it in my own application?
vivid cargo
i think it has setup.py because tutorial app is on pypi
in other cases, you don't need it
requirements.txt is fine
vivid cargo
hey @tawny temple
i'm fiddling with file from yesteday
when i'm doing
exec(open(this_file).read(), {'__file__': this_file})
where should i point this file to
vivid cargo
inside venv/Scripts on windows, and inside venv/bin on linux?
tawny temple
Yes, that's for __file__
vivid cargo
and this_file is a string path to the file i'm reading
tawny temple
Yes
vivid cargo
let me try it
vivid cargo

I think I misunderstood what you were trying to do
vivid cargo
after i create venv and *activate* it, deactivate command doesn't work
tawny temple
Thought you wanted to activate it inside python
tawny temple
I don't know to accomplish that
tawny temple
Np
vivid cargo
os.system() time
also, when i run os.system() does it open subshell within this shell?
so, if i'm running on cmd, it will open another subshell of cmd
and same with bash
tawny temple
Yes I believe it does
vivid cargo
okay
tawny temple
That's why I said I don't think it will work
vivid cargo
hmm
tawny temple
You'll probably need to replicate what the shell scripts are doing but in Python code
and you'll need to make sure changes persist to the environment (e.g. updating environment variables normally doesn't)
vivid cargo
env vars only stay in subshell?
tawny temple
Well not a subshell but it only applies to the the Python process
(and optionally any subprocesses it creates)
heavy knot
In the flask documentation, they have a suggested project structure, using their example 'flaskr' blogging application.
In that example, they have a flaskr package, and a setup.py file. Now usually this is for something that you upload to pypi, but this is literally a blogging app, so I have no idea what it's for.
What is the purpose of a setup.py and package folder, for an application, not a package/library that you upload for others to use? And how do I use it in my own application?
I want an indepth answer, and I want whoever responds to know what they are talking about
vivid cargo
in this case, setup.py is there only for flaskr to be available on pypi
that's pretty much it
tawny temple
I don't think that's the reason considering that PyPI package is not maintained by pallets
I'd say there is no good reason for them to have a setup.py and a requirements.txt would have sufficed
violet belfry
If you're not going to pip install it then it has no purpose
tawny temple
I indirectly answered that question
Because you were asking about applications rather than libraries and flaskr is an application too
heavy knot
yeah, so if a requirements.txt would not suffice, what would I do
What is the purpose of a setup.py and package folder, for an application?
heavy knot
Mark:
I'd say there is no good reason for them to have a setup.py and a requirements.txt would have sufficed
like, what is different from a setup.py then a requirements.txt file
violet belfry
It's a script for pip install
tawny temple
requirements.txt contains the dependencies for your app
Using a setup.py is if you want to install your own app itself rather than just its dependencies
And, again, I don't see a point in doing that for a flask app.
Installing a package is useful if it's a library cause it makes it easily available for importing from other projects. It's also useful for command-line tools so that they can be used from anywhere
heavy knot
ok, so I remember one time I was making this discord bot
and it had a whole lotta files and imports everywhere
I was asking about this one import question
and someone told me I should create a package instead
how do packages affect imports from within the package itself?
frozen coral
pycharm or visual studio?
eternal flicker
If by visual studio you mean visual studio code, then it depends. I recommend trying out both and choosing what you like most
heavy knot
@tawny temple About installing installing the app itself, the flaskr app's init file has some stuff in it, does that matter?
https://github.com/pallets/flask/blob/master/examples/tutorial/flaskr/__init__.py
tawny temple
A package folder is for namespacing
A setup.py is for installing with a package manager such as pip
tawny temple
Don't know
I already answered that requirements.txt would have been enough
Just because the author of the tutorial added it doesn't mean it's undoubtedly correct
Maybe they just thought installing dependencies with it would be easier than through requirements.txt but that's preference and such a minor thing
heavy knot
I am not talking specifically about the tutorial
so the only point of a setup.py is for install dependencies?
does it install the files inside the package too? or just whats listed as a dependency
tawny temple
It installs the project and its dependencies
heavy knot
ok, so wouldn't that be helpful for files inside of the package?
since you could import other files from the package from within the package itself?
tawny temple
You don't need to install the package to be able to do that, so not it wouldn't be helpful
If you wanted other packages in other applications/programs to be able to import your app then sure, it's useful to install (and I already mentioned that yesterday)
heavy knot
Well I am not talking about other packages or applications
I remember once I had some whack importing issue I got myself into when creating a discord bot, and they told me I should have just created a package to install instead
and I was curious what that person meant
tawny temple
To be clear, that suggestion is not related to setup.py
The suggestion meant to put all your modules (aka .py files) inside a folder (a package) and then to import other modules within your project you'd do from package import module for example
If you don't have a package then I think you're stuck with just relative imports like import .module
heavy knot
no thats what I did already
tawny temple
then run your program outside the folder
heavy knot
before I got into the jank importing issue
I had a folder "src" with 3 other folders, each containing 3 files, and each file was it's own subcommand, with each folder being it's own command, and the src holding all commands
but then I had an issue where I wanted from one file to import the file next to it, but it wasn't working
tawny temple
the imports would need to be like from src import module
from src.subfolder import module
etc
heavy knot
yeah and it was not working, there was some really weird issue (I cant recall what)
I ended up having to import it a SECOND time in the init file under a namespace
it was weird
tawny temple
I believe you need to run your program like python -m src.main (e.g. if main file is `./src/main.py)
And the current working directory must be outside src
tawny temple
Alright, well if you want someone to try to help and take another shot at it feel free to ask in a help channel
But yeah this has nothing to do with setup.py
heavy knot
Why did he ask me to put it in a package? I am 100% sure he didn't mean a FoLdEr
violet belfry
I don't know why we'd know the answer to that
tawny temple
A folder is called a package
and subfolders are sub-packages
As it points out, confusingly, distribution packages are also called packages.
tawny temple
Work in what sense?
heavy knot
it has 1 function
create_app
that returns the app
where is that called?
it seems really weird to do from __init__ import somthing
so how does that work
tawny temple
You don't import from __init__
tawny temple
things in that file are considered to be part of the package
heavy knot
thats why I'm asking
tawny temple
it'd be from flaskr import something
heavy knot
THAT SOLVES THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING EARLIER
is it good practice to have code in init?
I read somewhere it isn't
tawny temple
Not neccessarily
heavy knot
and should only be used for importing
tawny temple
I only make it if I need to put something in there
Since python introduced namespace packages, a __init__.py is no longer mandatory
Anyway, the way create_app works is that Flask will detect it
In the tutorial, the package flaskr is specified as the FLASK_APP
Since anything defined in __init__ gets translated to being part of the package namespace
Flask will be able to find create_app function and use it
random breach
wtf
tawny temple
probably a bug with f strings

it was working fine just a while ago
i changed the method to use self.type instead of a local type variable
and then this happened
heavy knot
Hey so I found a video explaining my issue and the package solution @tawny temple
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44PvX0Yv368&list=PL-osiE80TeTs4UjLw5MM6OjgkjFeUxCYH&index=5
and yeah it doesnt use a setup.py

So for jetbrains ides (pycharm) there is a great extension called keypromoterX that pops up keyboard shortcuts when you use the mouse for something that has a keyboard shortcut. Does anyone know if something like that exists for VS Code?
violet belfry
I don't think there are events in the API to support this
There are a few related issues but none have been implemented into othe API
random breach
i couldve sworn this used to work without a hitch before
can anyone confirm if they get the same issue? PyCharm 2019.2 here
tawny temple
Yeah same issue
Though it wouldn't happen if you passed cd for example
By the way, you can do path.open() 😉
random breach
dude you read my mind
i was just wondering if there's a path.open
i was thinking 'nah doesnt some pythonic since there's already one way to do it'
i get the same issue with cd as well btw
something's broken
(am specifying cd's type because Path.parent doesnt have a type annotation apparently. or pycharm's not picking it up correctly at least)
heavy berry
I assume it's a no given the reactions I got a while back but I am still looking for an option to code on my tablet, which is in another room from this desktop, unfortunately pycharm won't work on it and that interface is what is conducive for my coding experience I don't like the split up nature of the free ones online anyone in here use codeanywhere.com?

I’m having that same pycharm path issue, 2019.2.
sweet scaffold
Guys which IDE is best for beginner python programmers?
sweet scaffold
Only 2?
lost rock
https://pythondiscord.com/info/resources has some editors and IDEs near the end of the list
there are for sure more than two. PyCharm is just probably the best known and generally most advanced. Probably not the ideal beginner's choice though for that reason.

@lost rock Thank you

Or Sublime Text
But I rather recommend vim
At first you will look like a turtle
But after two months of constant work and programming
You will look like you are high on adderal

So why is vim better exactly?
rare mirage
- You get faster and faster, therefore, you get more efficient
- It's VERY lightweight
- You can customize literally EVERY part of it
- You look cooler B)

ok
so i was using git with github on my laptop through git bash for windows
and it was all fine
it prompted me for github login details when i tried to push, and then it was fine
tried to use it on my desktop
it just doesn't ever ask for credentails
'The requested URL returned error: 403'
managed to get it working by generating a key using ssh-keygen
so it prompts for the secret when i try to push
come back about 20 mins later
same fucking thing
it doesnt ask for a passphrase, or to log in
or anything
it just gives up
ok os
so
in my github account
there is the key
in my .ssh folder, id_rsa.pub exists
but when i do git push, it just fucking gives up
doesn't ask for credentials, doesnt try to use the ssh key
again most of the tutorials/guides just go 'and now it works :D!!!'
vivid cargo
i am trying to activate existing venv
but from a script
and i cannot access current shell
os.system and subprocess always open new subshell (sh) and execute commands there
how can i access current shell and execute commands within current shell?
graceful patio
what
as in through python?
oh i see
i think the issue is potentially that 'current shell' doesn't really exist
in the sense that the python program is what is running in the shell
vivid cargo
yeah
graceful patio
so you can't have other stuff
vivid cargo
take a look at #help-orange
graceful patio
ah yep
graceful patio
So i got that working
need a bit of advice
I want to host some large (>20mb) demo files for my application on github, but i don't want people who clone to have to download these as well
is there anywhere i can put them on the repo, maybe on a wiki somehow, where they are hosted but aren't part of the repo?
heavy cipher
tawny temple
For pupy, make sure all the submodules were also cloned.
🔍
Couple of other things:
- Don't use
sudo. Either do a user install (pip install --user m2crypto) or make a virtual environment - Use Python 3 instead of 2. As you can see from the warnings, Python 2 will be EOL soon.
vivid cargo
try using pip3
graceful patio
Well this is odd
got my earlier issue sorted
I made a change to readme.md in browser on github, and it turns out i only commited to the 0.1.0 release
firstly, it seems odd that you can commit to a tag/release in the first place
secondly, did i just accidentally 'enter' the tree for that tag, or am i going to keep accidentally doing this
frozen coral
anyone here good at pycharm?
Is there a way I can add a breakpoint for every line containing a specific variable?
heavy knot
I'm learning git
eternal flicker
right place then
heavy knot
I'm going through the book on git's website and I'm trying to use cat .gitignore in this tutorial but it doesn't seem to be working right
eternal flicker
what OS are you on?
heavy knot
the way it's shown the line should continue past like
<then I should be able to put stuff here>```I'm on windows, using gitbash
windows 10 to be more precise
eternal flicker
and which part of the book are you at? I'm assuming you're reading the Pro Git book online
eternal flicker
right, I found the section
so cat doesn't do what you think it does
it's a program that stands for concatenate
what it does is it concatenates files and then prints the contents to standard output, which is usually your console/terminal
if you try cat file_with_words_in_it you'll see the contents of the file printed out
heavy knot
I know what concatenation is
okay let me try it
it just says "cat: file_with_words_in_it: no such file or directory
eternal flicker
ah, I didn't mean for file_with_words_in_it to be taken literally, rather a text file that has words written in it
heavy knot
oh okay let me try it with a fiel that has words written in it 😅
okay i see
it printed out the contents of the file
eternal flicker
so the section in the book says this:
Here is an example .gitignore file:
$ cat .gitignore
*.[oa]
*~
that's where I'm at
eternal flicker
what it is showing is the output of cat .gitignore being run in the shell, which then outputs:
*.[oa]
*~
it's showing that the .gitignore file contains the lines
*.[oa]
*~
it then goes on to explain what the first and second line mean
heavy knot
That's odd it doesn't explain cat
eternal flicker
it's a Unix command, the reason you have it on Windows is because of git bash
heavy knot
Is the book assuming previous knowledge then?
eternal flicker
I don't think so
eternal flicker
if you have any questions about Unix-like commands though, we have a #unix channel
I'm not sure if it works in git bash, but try man cat?
does that bring up the manual for cat?
heavy knot
nope
eternal flicker
ah alright
heavy knot

question regarding git
hello
if I make changes to my .py file, and it was already commited to git
when I do a git status, should it now show up?
lost rock
if you saved the file and it is not ignored, yes
sand thistle
it's not showing up in my git status 😦
I'm getting a ``` modified: .gitignore
modified: .idea/workspace.xml
renamed: PyPDF.py -> Convert_to_text.py
new file: Pipfile
I did rename the file but that was a while ago
maybe I didn't commit the change or something?
tawny temple
If the change has already been committed then it wont be shown there
git status only shows uncommitted changes
sand thistle
I've made changes
it's just showing that I renamed the file
that was a while ago
since then I've made changes to the code
sand thistle
file_name meaning the new file?
tawny temple
file_name being whatever file you're talking about
sand thistle
well basically
no
it's not a new file
technically I started with one file, mistakenly delted the branch that it was saved to
recomitted
then changed file name
so my output is ``` modified: .gitignore
modified: .idea/workspace.xml
renamed: PyPDF.py -> Convert_to_text.py
new file: Pipfile
is it a new file? I don't know how to answer that
tawny temple
are you talking about this? renamed: PyPDF.py -> Convert_to_text.py
sand thistle
yes
tawny temple
what are you expecting to see?
sand thistle
well I made changes to the file
so I expect to see Convert_to_text.py
since I believe it should be in the staging area, because I made changes to it and want to commit
tawny temple
Yeah it should show up as unstaged
sand thistle
I mean I believe it's being tracked though, just don't know if the current iteration is being tracked
tawny temple
That doesn't make sense: a file is either tracked or it isn't
if you see the rename then the file is clearly being tracked
violet belfry
Renames and file changes will show up as a rename, not separately
sand thistle
could it be that I didn't commit the rename?
tawny temple
ELA is right but that is only once you've staged the changes
violet belfry
git status should be telling you which changes are staged and which aren't
sand thistle
my output to git status is ``` modified: .gitignore
modified: .idea/workspace.xml
renamed: PyPDF.py -> Convert_to_text.py
new file: Pipfile
That's it?
sand thistle
yes
tawny temple
You may have already staged the change

This is what it should look like

I want to share this on github as well as back this up locally
tawny temple
You can commit then create a new branch from it
then push the branch and check online if the file is correct
I am suggesting a separate branch so you don't mess up the one you have online (well you can always force push but it's better to avoid that)
sand thistle
ok
so I tried to commit
Found a swap file by the name "~/PycharmProjects/OCR/.git/.COMMIT_EDITMSG.swp"
owned by: blah dated: Sat Jul 20 17:32:16 2019
file name: ~blah/PycharmProjects/OCR/.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
modified: YES
user name: blah host name: blahs-MBP.home

as you can tell
I am new to this
sand thistle
oh
tawny temple
like it's waiting for you to enter a commit message
I think that's why this happens
sand thistle
I kinda just kept hitting enter
cuz I was scrolling throught he messages
it basically said this is happening because a) someone is editing this already b)needs a name
and then I kept hitting enter and it's asking me for a name
so I'm going to write one
but before I do I'm going to save my code to a paste bin
incase for somereason I screwed mysel;f
I wonder which version will be committed
the most recent or changes or the one that I started
eternal flicker
what are you checking the difference between?
sand thistle
uh oh
between git commits
do I override idk
I don't understand what's happening my goodness
tawny temple
I would suggest you just back up all your changes and try to scrap whatever commit you had currently
I mean the commit you had in progress
sand thistle
you mean the one tht's read only
I saved my code to a paste bin and emailed it to myself
tawny temple
do you have any commits you have not pushed?
sand thistle
how do I check that
sand thistle
alright I had to exit the git commit message section
[No write since last change]
going to check log now
omfg stressful
im still in it
it's a loop for gods sake
head is pointed to master
I had another head in there because I tried to make a new branch
and to be clear I haven't pushed anything yet, I've only been working locally
tawny temple
so you see something like (HEAD -> master, origin/master) on one commit?
tawny temple
🤔
sand thistle
3 commits
sand thistle
no I havent set up a remote
tawny temple
oh ok...
sand thistle
I've been working locally
tawny temple
I was thinking you could just clone from remote and apply your saved changes
So did you ever delete ~/PycharmProjects/OCR/.git/.COMMIT_EDITMSG.swp?
sand thistle
I don't think so
sand thistle
how would I delete that
tawny temple
it's just a file in a folder
you can use git rm ~/PycharmProjects/OCR/.git/.COMMIT_EDITMSG.swp probably
or just rm if you're using git bash
sand thistle
hmm
well it asks for a file
rm doesn't work, even though I'm on unix
so when I put in the full file path
tawny temple
does the file still exist?
sand thistle
didn't match any file
tawny temple
I guess that resolved itself then
