Oggify v1.0.2
Oggify has just received a minor patch. This release focuses on two things:
- The order of files encoded is now sorted, so everthing in one directory is complete when it starts a new directory.
- Some minor spelling fixes to the help.
- A man page is included in the tar ball, though it is not installed at the moment.
Thanks go to Gerald Cox for the last two points.
As for the future, I'm working out some design decisions with a new method for handling IO that will allow a lot more control. After than I'll start working on making Oggify more modular with encode/decode so more file formats can be supported.
June Bay PIGgies - Test Harness
Now that I'm in the bay area, it seemed like an obvious decision to attend the bay area python interest group. They meet at Google, and have a great turn out. In attendance was Guido van Rossum hanging back on a couch, very cool.
The meeting was on Collin Winter's new project, test_harness. It is designed as a replacement for unittest. Now I don't do a lot of testing in Python, but looking at what he's done I'm planning to play with it with some upcoming projects. test_harness was designed with the idea of being easy to extend, and share the extensions you make. If you're a nut about interesting designs in code, the parts of the source he showed at the meeting were quite nifty.
test_harness just released version 0.1, and Collin is looking for people to poke at it.
