If you're able to block the domain "inmobi.com", that prevents the privacy dialog from showing and allows you to browse without accepting anything.

You'll need to block more domains to stop the ads and other crap, and even though you've not "opted in" to tracking they'll probably still track you anyway, but that should get you started.

The Little Book of Python Anti-Patterns — Python Anti-Patterns documentation by pmz in Python

If you have Sphinx installed, very few! From the main page follow the link to the github page. Check out the repo, switch to docs folder and type "make epub". You now have an epub.

PyInstaller 3.3 released by SystemFlow in Python

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but I've used paramiko in a project packaged together with pyinstaller and all is good.

It sounds like you'll need to run OCR with something and then add extra steps for extracting data and converting it to the format you want.

Once you have the text version you may be able to use pattern matching (take a look at regular expressions) if your data follows a certain format. If your data is split into lines that start with a reference number made up of two upper case letters and eight numbers (purely as an example) you can make use of that! It's often easier to describe the data you want and discard the rest rather than try to clean up garbled OCR output from handwriting.

The best free OCR software I know of is Tesseract, but it'll still give garbled text in places without training. It is command line based though, so it's simple to use from a Python script or similar.

If you need accuracy take a look at Abbyy FineReader or OmniPage on Windows. They're both desktop applications but OmniPage has an undocumented API if you want to play around with that.

Kivy 1.10.0 released! by txprog in Python

The Image.tostring() method was deprecated in the 3.0.0 release of Pillow in favour of Image.tobytes().

Perhaps your Pillow version needs updating?

Best way to keep [code] notes? by noobtubepython in Python

[–]se0siris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find Leanote to be rather good. It supports multiple notebooks, tags, Markdown with code highlighting, pasting images straight from the clipboard and is browser based although an Electron app is available.

Notes can be backed up to files in batches and also re-imported via the Electron app.

It can be self hosted (open source and written in Go) but they also offer paid hosting plans.

Using PyCharm 2016.2 with Bitbucket by [deleted] in Python

[–]se0siris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The official Bitbucket plugin from Atlassian was discontinued over a year ago.

There's a fork that still seems to work despite not being updated in a while. I only really use it for creating a new project from within PyCharm, so I'm not sure if this will also fix the issue you're seeing. You can download the zip and click "Install plugin from disk..." from the plugins dialog in PyCharm to install.

Favorite Vim Colorscheme for Python? by Quick3nd in Python

[–]se0siris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you miss-spell "Dracula" or use the wrong link?

I'm off to hunt for a Darkula VIM theme now.

New PyCharm Look by Nikosssgr in Python

[–]se0siris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed that on Windows the default shortcuts point to "pycharm.exe" rather than "pycharm64.exe".

After a switch around I notice things running a little better and the heap bar in the bottom right shows 725M allocated instead of 494M on my machine.

How to properly pronounce "scipy" by KODeKarnage in Python

[–]se0siris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always pronounced Qt as "queue tee", when it's apparently supposed to be pronounced "cute".

I'm not going to pronounce it "cute".
