list
The other day I found out that Rundeck has an API which allows it to be controlled remotely by scripts. I've decided to write a script to list all the projects defined in a rundeck instance. Prerequisites Before you start, you need: * The instance's URL (server
developer
By default, SQL Developer can only export INSERT statements. This is quite unfortunate when one needs to build UPDATE statements because their syntax is different. I've tried to use regexp to convert the statements but I didn't find it not straight forward at all. So, I

Following the deployment of a python-aware agent, we can start creating a pipeline. The first stage would be to: 1. Clean up any previous data 2. Create a virtual environment for python 3. Install all dependencies from a requirements.txt file in our project Note: we assume the global pipeline
cd
I've got two requirements to make GoCD useful: 1. Run both the server and agent(s) in Docker 2. Make it python-friendly Fortunately, GoCD offers Docker images (and Dockerfiles) for both, so it's just a matter of extending it: FROM gocd/gocd-agent-ubuntu-16.04:v17.11.0

While writing a command line tool, I've stumbled upon a strange situation: Some logs were written to a file while some others were printed to console. Quite annoying, particularly since every module I use has its own logger via logging.getLogger(__name__). After some investigation I found out

celery
TL;DR: Use set FORKED_BY_MULTIPROCESSING=1 on the worker script/shell When running Celery on Windows 10, I got the following error: ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 0) This is quite unfortunate as Windows is supported on "best effort". A pull request
dataframe
To convert a pandas data frame value from unix timestamp to python datetime you need to use: pd.to_datetime(df['timestamp'], unit='s') where: * timestamp is the column containing the timestamp value * unit='s' defines the unit of the timestamp (seconds in this
api
I've found out the participant portal for H2020 offers an API. This is quite neat as one can integrate with the data, e.g. by reading and listing the calls. I've written a proof of concept to list all calls from this and last years. First,

I have the following situation: I'm behind a corporate proxy and I need to run a test accessing an external website. To do this, I've picked up chrome/chromium as driver of choice. My current solution implies an authentication via plugin. The plugin The chrome plugin
