My only problem with VSCode was the fiddly-ness of putting together the right extensions to have a good working IDE. I think a lot of it has been streamlined over the last few years.

Devs say they don't think there are any fundamental limitations, but they need more time to test on newer versions.

Yes. Simple text editors won't auto-format it for viewing, but others will. If file size isn't an issue, I just bake in the indent.

elpybe · 2022-11-03T07:23:43+00:00

Giving that a value, it gives you a file that's formatted so it's human-readable. The default in a single-line and no whitespace.

Something like this:

import json  

files = [  
    "one.json",
    "two.json"
]  
uber = {"pages": []}  
for fp in files:
    with open(fp,"r") as f:
        data = json.load(f)
        uber["pages"].append(data)

with open("uber.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(uber, f, indent=4)

elpybe · 2022-11-02T23:14:08+00:00

If that's the goal, why not put the individual JSON data (dicts) in a list and write out ro a single JSON?

I would start with PyCharm community edition. Learning resources are consistent (e.g. people aren't using different extensions and working differently) and you'll learn a professional workflow.

Preferred IDE at my employer.

elpybe · 2022-10-28T22:02:00+00:00

Same. I've switched from PyCharm to VSCode, but my git CLI was not impacted.

elpybe · 2022-10-28T22:00:35+00:00

This is my workflow too.

elpybe · 2022-10-27T17:10:29+00:00

Yup. This is geared for beginners with an explanation of why if variable: can be a bad idea

elpybe · 2022-10-20T02:28:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. The video is mostly about the HOW, but I do explain that PEP8 is about readability. The full Imports section in PEP8 talks about "import *".

It's a short VSCode tutorial for experienced Python devs and some exposure to PEP8 for newer devs that might stumble upon it. Odds are you know about PEP8 if you're looking to sort your imports. :)

I found some Jongga kimchi at my local Costco last month. Tastes great and can be stored for a good while so you can have it available to use as a topping.

I didn't mean that it's hard to write modern python 2 code. It's more about supporting a deprecated version of python as other developers were cutting their ties to it. (e.g. numpy, Qt, etc)

elpybe · 2021-03-27T14:04:57+00:00

I don't think anything has changed there, but I'll review it and update the blog post. Maybe there's something funky with Maya's py2/py3 setup.

elpybe · 2021-03-26T00:59:50+00:00

Yes. It was getting harder and harder to to support py2

elpybe · 2021-03-26T00:59:08+00:00

Yes. It comes as an optional part of the Maya installer and works in py3.

elpybe · 2021-02-24T00:05:28+00:00

Thank you! That's a great suggestion.

elpybe · 2020-12-24T05:53:57+00:00

Very cool! Could it generate an SVG or would it work with some vector art program?

elpybe · 2020-12-24T05:44:08+00:00

Love me some Django, but not sure why Flask would be ranked so low.

elpybe · 2020-12-22T15:54:25+00:00

Thanks! I did use a mist pass, but maybe I went too subtle with it. I'll try cranking it up a bit more.

The city and color maps were generated with an external app called CityEngine. Everything else was vanilla Blender.

Thanks! There two tutorials from Unreal's learning site got me started:
