A web 2.0 app for uploading and running remote Python code snippets?

Jason Huggins — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:01:18 +0000

I know I read about this on reddit within the last week or so… But I just can’t find it! My Google-fu is failing me! Grrrrr. There was a general upload text area form where you copy in your code snippet. You then select the language from a drop down, and click submit. In the commentary [...]

This is why I love JavaScript and Python, but not Java

“Exploratory programming is the fun end of programming, and we hope that will be the guiding principle of the Arc community.” (arclanguage.org)

Amen! (And when I do have to work with code on the JVM, it’s via Rhino or Jython.) I don’t know how much I’ll use Arc in the future, but I already like its [...]

A new litmus test for evaluating Python web frameworks — What’s your security policy?

Jason Huggins — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 15:36:47 +0000

With the almost daily announcement of new Python-based web frameworks, there needs to be a way to filter the contenders from the pretenders. I’ve been mulling over the idea of compiling a checklist for evaluating new frameworks. The checklist could also be used by new would-be Python framework creators as a gut check for the [...]

See Spot Test Django

Here is some “science fiction” I’m working on at the moment for testing the Django admin app with Selenium. I call it science fiction because the I’m still working on the code that will actually read this and execute it correctly in the browser.

I imagine the source document will be HTML with a scent [...]

Picked to present Selenium at Google’s Conference on Test Automation

Jason Huggins — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 18:05:40 +0000

Woo-hoo! I just got an email from Allen Hutchison at Google that my presentation proposal has been selected for Google’s London Test Automation Conference.

Here’s a short excerpt from my proposal:

In my talk, I would explore the use of Selenium in a fully integrated “web testing appliance” setup. With Selenium, some clever Python scripting, [...]

TECHcoffee – “running club” meets “study hall”

Jason Huggins — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 02:22:52 +0000

On Friday, I posted a message to the Chicago Python list about the possibility of doing weekly code sprints.

excerpt: “… which got me thinking even more… what if every week there was a “mini-sprint” held at some central location downtown where folks can meet up and code. Kind of like a running club, but for [...]
