Subject: [omaha] August Meeting - 2 days away
Message-ID: <CAFGSzzhcBS4vvgyaOPj8FZFLKM=S0K6k7CJRFtSEN7UsdkO7Ow@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone.  The August meeting is scheduled for this Wednesday, 8/17,
6:30 - 8pm.

DoSpace was unavailable, but I was able to get the large room at Alley
Poyner Macchietto Architects.

I have not been at the past couple of meetings, and do not have any
information about topics or speakers.  Was this discussed at the last
meeting?  If not, please let us know if you have a talk or question you
wish to bring.

Lastly, please rsvp so we can get an idea of who can attend.  I know it is
busy for some with school starting.

Steve

Hi All,


My team uses LiClipse and I use IDLE.  For more than two years I have put off trying to learn how to use LiClipse.  I keep putting it off.


However, I received an email from a client today who described a problem I could replicate using our application.  From what I understand, I should be able to use LiClipse to step through the code to determine exactly why our application is crashing in the case that they are working on.


I would really like to get comfortable using LiClipse to learn how to use the debugging feature.  Thus I would like to hire someone (at commercial rates) to address this very specific case.  That is, I want to have them work with me (in-person) to run our application and find out exactly why a particular html file is causing the application to crash.  I want to note that I have already tried to do this at the command prompt (I received a message from Windows that python.exe stopped working).  Thus, the resolution is going to require that we step through the code with some particular input files to find what is causing this issue.


I know many of you are not Window's fans.  But I work in Windows so that is part of the issue.  The primary (most important) library we use in this bit of code is LXML, I am pretty comfortable with LXML and am not looking for a substitute.  I am trying to jumpstart my understanding of using a more sophisticated IDE.


I am happy to negotiate a minimum fee - that is if we can sort this out in half an hour - we both walk away excited and then set an hourly rate on top.


Further, while the rest of the team is using LiClipse I am not averse to working with another full-featured IDE.  I feel like once I can fully get my head around the application other, similar applications should not be that hard.


I suspect you could read this and wonder how someone could be so stupid as to not be able to do this on their own.  I only have one brain cell and usually when I am working I am dealing with lots of other noise.


Please respond to me directly (bkealey at directedgar.com) as it does not seem reasonable to clutter up the list with the details of our conversations.


With regards


Burch

These links may be generally useful in regards to Python XML libraries and
debugging :

- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/defusedxml
  - (I learned about this library from Two Scoops of Django)
- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pdbpp
  - https://docs.python.org/2/library/pdb.html#debugger-commands

-
http://www.pydev.org/manual_adv_debugger.html

I'm not specifically familiar with LiClipse, though years ago I worked with
PyDev and Aptana.

- https://westurner.org/wiki/awesome-python-testing#debugging

I am looking for Python work,
please do contact me if these links were not helpful in resolving the issue
you describe.
