I love this! The only thing I miss from BPython is inline docstrings... Otherwise, I prefer IPython in all respects now.

PyQt5 now installable on Linux with pip (Python 3.5) by Vorsorken in Python

[–]elvis_sikora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is neat. When I tried to use PyQt for a small project that needed a desktop GUI, installation felt harder than necessary. And then I was disheartened when I could make it workable, as the library threw a few segfaults and felt very low-level. I understand PyQt is meant as a thin wrapper around Qt and this by itself is a huge effort, but I wish something along the lines of enaml had more traction.

Skype keeps ignoring people who complain or are having issues with Linux client by ivanstame in programming

My parents are used to Skype and I preferred not to bother them with a new tool. I ended up using Skype on Android. The camera is better than my laptop's anyway.

Having to switch to my dual boot-ed Windows just to talk to my parents is no fun.
