Database Versioning with Alembic (Ryan )
Xpresser: GUI automation “the easy way”
- XPresser is a tool for
GUI automation
- Wow, they have to use computer vision (SimpleCV, built on top
of OpenCV) to test some things.
- How is it translating those strings into what it sees? Enquiring minds want
to know.
- Some sort of data setup (the answer to the above question).
- Huh. It’s effectively Ubuntu-only due to accuracy concerns. Wonder what the
story is behind that.
Faces: Project Management with Python (Andy Henshaw)
- What the… ? Faces lets you do project management by writing
Python? Can I have a PM that uses this?
- Seems fairly straightforward.
- …and development is totally stalled. Abandoned since 2007.
Using Python to Break Simple Cryptograms (John)
- I kinda hope he shows us a GitHub repo at the end of all this, because
I’d like to actually see this in action.
- Go play with the Practical Cryptography site (see his slides when published)
Curling (Bill)
