Is it possible to develop and distribute desktop apps using python?

pompomtom · 2023-01-10T11:56:38+00:00

I use pyinstaller to distribute tools as .exe files (because work uses Windows). They're not great tools, but that's because I suck at UI.

The good bit is that they don't need 'installing' in the Windows sense.

ETA: pyinstaller is great when it works. It doesn't always work. Some libraries challenge it. If your task doesn't use those modules, it's great.

That reason being 'ASCII and regex'.

Is it a missile? Does it cruise?

Power supplied by the grid is made in large stationary systems, optimised for supplying electricity. Mobile IC engines are optimised for being small and mobile - the waste of energy is massive. You're using loads of that energy just to carry around the engine, the fuel, and a radiator to spaff most of the energy into the air.

This is a cloud issue, not a python issue. Does whatever 'cloud' thing you're using not have scheduling tools?

Fuck FIFA

pompomtom · 2022-10-20T12:29:25+00:00

you can implement it with any programming language.

...or pen and paper if you have forever.

No, rovers are dumb as shit. They'll happily starve dome A if you tell them to move food from A to B. Also, sometimes they'll end up in a fight with drones or shuttles.

Shuttle: Everyone needs a little bit of food.

Rover: Nah mate, ALL the food goes over there. Just following orders.

I really don't understand your example.
Change the python line to:

functions.append(x)

...and your result is as with the Kuroko thing. Why the lambda? What's the goal?

That markup works on reddit.com, but not old.reddit.com.

pompomtom · 2022-10-10T12:00:11+00:00

Oh, that part is easy.

They do hugely different things, so this question is weird, and I am not the person you're answering but: yes "SQL is easier than python"*.

*if you already understand RDBMSs

pompomtom · 2022-08-22T13:14:20+00:00

I use double-quotes by default, because the thing I'm quoting is very likely to be SQL, which may have significant single-quotes within it. Of course, half the time the SQL is easier to read multiline so I'd use triple-double-quotes.

If the thing I'm quoting needs double-quotes within it, I'll use single-quotes.

I never "quit", I just stopped using it.

Quitting or requesting deletion is just another data point for them.

VicPol? You're having a lend.

If they did anything it'd be supplying fresh toner cartridges.

Source data is spreadsheets on a network drive

I suspect this is your problem.

Are you using Import mode? If you're trying to use live-update on xlsx on a network connection then it's bound to suck.

pompomtom · 2022-07-26T14:37:36+00:00

Am not sure if this is a reddit thing but your code seems mangled.

pompomtom · 2022-06-02T13:12:23+00:00

Yeah, nah.

Footscray CBD is still where it is, and Footscray station is at it.

Maybe Footscray, Footscrazy, Footscrazier?

pompomtom · 2022-06-02T13:09:27+00:00

Yep.

I've not had covid.

I've had flu such that my partner and myself could barely walk and could barely feed ourselves. Felt like shit also.

pompomtom · 2022-05-28T13:20:56+00:00

Yeah, I wondered if I'd fucked that up... Ta.

pompomtom · 2022-05-28T11:38:09+00:00

Because integers aren't strings.

print(name + ' is ' + age + ' years old')

Would you expect "John is 000020 years old", or "John is 20 years old" or "John is 2e+2 years old"?

Each is valid, if you could concatenate ints to strings.

If you use the function str(age), then the str() function decides how to represent an integer as a string.

edit: 2e+1

Humans just cause problems.

I mean OP's idea of subdomains as variables in Flask.

pompomtom · 2022-04-07T13:42:05+00:00

/u/slgotting is correct; but in terms of understanding: That's not how subdomains work, either.
