I find myself often in the situation, where I need to load a particular Python file as module.

… I realise that, but things have been crazy busy, and since we moved and the (ever so) long commute is now history, I didn’t get to write much the past months. This will change, but for now, just a quick reminder on how to contact me:

Last part of this series, let’s wrap up the details of the server and exception handling, plus some other small details.

Let’s have a look at the client implementation. On the client side, we mainly use two objects to communicate with the server: the client object and the attribute wrapper object.

Over the years, I’ve stumbled across the need of a simple, yet effective RPC system in Python. I’ve used CORBA in a C++ application before that was steered over Python, and that worked alright, but I’ve often needed something simpler, and a bit less elaborate in it’s setup and configuration. I want to document here what I came up with.

Another little bit of vim configuration I wrote, this bit of code helps me to re-size a vim process running in a terminal.

A while back, I was tasked with automating a very lengthy installation process, which consisted of downloading a big number of open source packages, configuring, compiling and installing them. Being the programmer I am, I ended up writing a sort of bash library with functions that made it easier to write and maintain such installation scripts. The installation scripts are easy to read and most of the tedious, repetitive work is done under the hood.

A little bit of Python code to catch the output of a sub-process life, print it out to another file object and at the same time cache it for later. Useful for start-up scripts. more

In the last of this short series about my Maya Utilities code, I want to look at how it all comes together, how I use it on a daily basis, and share the code with you. more

The last module in my current Maya Utils collection, files.py, deals with files and projects, and shows off a slightly more complex button.
