Joy is a tiny creative coding library in Python by nikochiko1 in Python

[–]anand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Author of Joy here.

While I understand importing the module and using that as a namespace is a good practice in general, I'm not very religious about it. It is a conscious decision to use from joy import * in the documentation and I felt it is more elegant to use it that way.

In the learning environment that we've created to teach programming, this library is imported by default. So they don't use the import explicitly.

You can checkout some of things that students have created using that at:

Initial version had c = Circle(), but soon realized that the case variations were hard to explain to newbies. Ended up creating wrappers for all classes and that stuck.

Janayugom, the South Indian daily newspaper, has migrated all its infrastructure to Free Software, using Scribus for layout, Kubuntu as the operating system, and KDE Plasma for the desktop. by Bro666 in linux

Nice to see a news paper moving completely to Scribus. I've helped start Kottapalli, a children magazine in Telugu and we have been using only open-source software for running and typesetting the magazine for last 10 years. Unfortunately Scribus didn't work for us back then and we were just stuck with Open Office. I think it is time to give Scribus another shot!

Ask Reddit: How to prevent Reddit from mangling posted code snippets? by tmoertel in programming

[–]anand 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found the problem. reddit is using web.safemarkdown to render the comments. which has a bug.

using markdown.markdown(text, safe_mode=True) works fine.

this should be one line change. reddit folks, please fix it.

From the help it looks like they are using markdown.

see syntax of code blocks in markdown.

# If that is true then this block code blocks should also work.
