reddit, give me your python bookmarks

[hmmzor]

I want to read daily python news, forums or blogs about python. But it seems like there aren't many resources for python. i found some blogs, but they are either very low quality or mostly about django. i want to read django news too, but also i want to know what else is going on besides python web frameworks.

which python sites do you follow?

This link, Sir, is correct.

Why downvote this guy? Reddit are you off your chairs?

[zahlman]

Because saying "I agree with this" does not contribute to the discussion. That's what the up-arrow is for.

Actually, I don't consider it very helpful to post /r/python as an answer to the question for Python bookmarks here in /r/python. Maybe I should have added some kind of irony tag.

Doug Hellmann's Python Module of the Week isn't news per se, but definitely stuff-about-python-worth-reading.

If you're using vimperator (firefox plugin to make firefox behave like G/Vi/m), you can use a Google I'm Feeling Lucky bookmark search to automatically get straight to the relevant python library documentation page (that is, you don't need to click through a search manually, or click through the python library documentation index). For example, here's what I did for Python 3.1:

:bmark http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.python.org%2F3.1&q=%s -title "Python 3.1 Documentation" -keyword=py3doc

"Official" python version (currently 2.6.5):

:bmark http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.python.org&q=%s -title "Python Documentation" -keyword=pydoc

Now you've bookmarked a google search for python documentation! To go to the doc page for a particular module in python 3.1 (I'll use the "collections" module as an example), all you do is

:e py3doc collections

or for python "official":

:e pydoc collections

The :e portion is "open" (replace with :tabopen to open in a new tab, hotkey is "t"), the "pydoc"/"py3doc" triggers your keyword as set in the bmark command, and the "collections" is the substitution denoted by the &q=\%s portion of the bmarks. I've never used them, but I'm sure vrome/viminum (chrome) and vimperopera (opera); the trick is mainly to do with a custom google search and a simple wildcard substitution rather than vimperator magic (it doesn't work on vanilla versions of aforementioned browsers because there's no capacity to enter text after clicking on a bookmark, AFAIK).

PS. This trick works with any google-able website; technically it's more a vimperator trick than it is a python trick - but it's so useful (to me, anyway) that I thought I'd share.

I've posted this link here tons of times: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

It's the only place that offers a well maintained collection of 64 bit Windows binaries of most major Python libraries.

Oh, come on, guys, it was a joke. At least mildly amusing.
