For some time, I have been hanging around with django. I got some cool video tutorials on the web on django. They helped me a lot to start coding in django. At the same time, I was also going through the Transifex source code. After some time, I browsed through the tickets in trac.transifex.org and started with fixing ticket #679. I had to go through javascript, jquery, html in addition to write the patch for #679....

Success!

Trying to use python-wordpress-xmlrpc

It’s greatly annoying that I am not able to do koji scratch builds or fedpkg builds. I had discussion with nirik at #fedora-admin. He asked me to show him the outputs of a couple of commands. I updated to koji 1.6. Still, the problem is persistent. I guess, it is not actually a bug, otherwise others would have surely reported. I think it is some small configuration issue that is being overlooked....

A lot has happened since I last blogged. I’m now not going to recollect my memories :P. Any ways, if I were to summarise, I was busy with college seminars, project reports, semester exams, etc. What a drag! After the exams ended, I felt like a free bird ready to fly high. I started studying Django. I am also revising python. Yesterday, I packaged python-keyring-0.5.1 for F14. It fixes some bugs in keyring v 0....

Lately, I have been studying the code of lekhonee-gnome. It is written in vala. I wrote a patch for it to allow saving of drafts locally after every 30 seconds. I submitted it to the upstream, kushal for approval. Now, I am testing another patch of mine for lekhonee-gnome. Previously, whenever one used to press “Publish” button, the written post is cleared from the editor. Once, due to network problems, the post was not published, and with it my post was also cleared from the editor....

Nothing new in the version 0.3.1 though. I removed the dependency on the python-nltk library. Extracted the requisite code from the python-nltk library to access only the wordnet dictionary. Also, there has been some clean ups. Future plans:I am thnking to get rid of the dependency on the wordnet package as it brings in some other unnecessary dependency like Tcl. I am thinking of providing the wordnet dictionary as a default plugin....
