IBM developerWorks: Using Python's Input and Output Functionality [«In this article, you learn how to work with files. First, we review a simple way to output data in Python, using the print statement, then learn about the file object, which is used by Python programs to read and write data to a file. The different modes with which a file can be opened are demonstrated, and the article concludes by showing how to read and write a binary file.»]

Linux.com: Presentations with Pylize [«If you need to give a presentation, you're going to need slides. If you don't give presentations often, you may spend a lot of time playing hunt-the-feature with a traditional presentation application as you try to bring the slides in your mind's eye to the screen. Pylize, a Python-based command-line tool, lets you use familiar HTML coding techniques to get the job done.»]

My mother uses LyX (and thus, LaTeX) to layout her books. She doesn't need much help, but does almost everything herself. Except she was lacking an editor which could replace the quotation marks appropriately, because they are handled somewhat special in LyX (you need an editor which can replace by multiline text, such as VIM).

So every now and then, mostly when she's started layouting a new book, she'll ask me to fix the quotation marks in a lyx file for her.

I decided to write a small python script for it, since she has python installed on her box anyway (also on Windows, although she also has Linux on it).

Maybe someone else has the same problems, so here you go: ...

Adudzik asks on 43things:

As a smart and enthusiastic beginner, where should I look for good open source projects, preferably in Python?

While it's possible to find open source projects being done in Python on SourceForge and listed on FreshMeat, what would benefit people like Adudzik, in my opinion, is being apprenticed to a willing project lead. Sort of like the Summer of Code but longer term and restricted to existing projects (and presumably with less chance of monetary payment). SourceForge and FreshMeat don't really indicate which projects would be willing to take on an apprentice.

So perhaps python.org could run a directory of open source python projects that would be willing to take on an apprentice.

I'd certainly be willing to take on an apprentice or two on a number of my projects such as Leonardo, pyso or Cleese.

As I've written elsewhere:

I believe writing software is a craft. I also believe that writing code is something well suited to an apprentice-journeyman-master model particularly when applied in an open source context.

So ultimately I'd love to see virtual schools under a master with a number of journeymen and apprentices. Apprentices work on projects mostly under the direction of the journeymen. The journeymen have more responsibility on projects and start their own projects under the direction of the master. Eventually, a journeyman presents a released piece of software as his or her "masterpiece" and is declared by some loose collection of masters (a guild) as a new master. This guild would also be responsible for the recruitment of new apprentices.

That's my larger vision but just having a directory of projects willing to take on an apprentice would be a good start.

Any other thoughts?
