Building and serving local python wheels
We need to rebuild a dependency tree of python wheels from scratch. Bootstrap, in other words. Let’s go!
…RHEL 9 and PyPI RPMs
My colleague, @FrostyX, recently shared a Red Hat Developer article, Thousands of PyPI and RubyGems RPMs now available for RHEL 9, with us.
TL;DR access thousands of RPMs automatically generated from PyPI and RubyGems on RHEL 9.
Sounds intriguing, I wanted to give it a shot.
…Debugging Python Code
People on my team asked me some time ago how I debug things in our python code base. So I thought I’d share here.
The easiest (and least efficient) way to debug is to use print statements and
logging. But since you’re not using a real debugger, you need to update the
code and rerun in order to get new results.
Hence the most efficient way to debug things in python is to use a debugger. Don’t be scared, they are easy to master and they’ll serve you nicely for the rest of your life. They all are very similar.
…Unpack container image using docker-py
This is just a quick blog post. I’ve seen a bunch of questions on
docker-py’s issue tracker about how to extract a container image using
docker-py and get_archive (a.k.a. docker export).
Non-blocking stdin with python using epoll
I was playing with epoll and was curious whether I can use it to monitor
sys.stdin. The biggest issue was that sys.stdin.read() is blocking and I
had no way to figure out whether I read the descriptor fully or not (making the
epoll useless pretty much). Until I changed it to non-blocking with fcntl.
Installing python packages from git via pip
It may happen that you need to install a python project with pip from git(hub). That’s pretty easy:
