00:17 * Vornicus discovers that foo(*a, *b) doesn't work. Oh well.
00:18
<&McMartin>
What about foo(*(a + b))?
00:18
<~Vornicus>
works!
00:25 * Vornicus decides that looks bad anyway.
00:26
< simon__>
has anyone here used Data.Lenses in Haskell?
00:26
< simon__>
I'm curious if they're actually used by people.

I _know_ you used to be able to download the actual wxPython documentation and not just the wx documentation.
00:51
< gnolam>
But I can't for the life of me find it.
00:51
<&Derakon>
The wxPython docs are usually the first thing I find when googling for WX terms.
00:51
<&Derakon>
Not downloadable, just the web docs.
00:51
< gnolam>
I want them offline.
00:51 You're now known as TheWatcher[T-2]

<@TheWatcher[T-2]>
wget time~
00:52 * gnolam adds "the only way to get offline docs is with wget" to the list of offences for which you should be legally allowed to kneecap the developers.
00:52
<@TheWatcher[T-2]>
>.>
00:53
<&Derakon>
You could probably also get the docs by downloading the source code and then running whatever generator they used to make them~
00:58 You're now known as TheWatcher[zZzZ]
01:04
<&Derakon>
So, my major accomplishment for today is generating an 1800-line diff file for me to go over tomorrow. ?.?
01:05
<&Derakon>
On the plus side, I've managed to import a fairly significant custom widget from the old cockpit to the new one.
01:05

<&Derakon>
(Maybe if this project pans out I'll have someone besides me-from-the-future to do my code reviews!)

16:10 * gnolam ponders Visual Studio 2012.
16:13
<@TheWatcher>
?
16:36
< gnolam>
Some C++11 would be kind of nice.
16:37 * gnolam is currently using VS2008 out of inertia.
17:20
< RichyB>
Out of curiosity, which edition(s) of VS did you buy?
17:20
< RichyB>
buy/acquire through university schemes/whatever
17:36
< gnolam>
Of 2008?
18:05
< RichyB>
Any.
18:06
< RichyB>
Like, do people actually buy the "enterprise"-branded ones?
18:10
<&ToxicFrog>
What's legal python for 'with exp1,exp2 as name1,name2: stuff'?

20:45
<&jerith>
ToxicFrog: Just that, I think.
20:46
<&jerith>
I tend not to use it, because it was only added in 2.6 any most of my Python has had to be 2.5-compatible.
20:47
<&ToxicFrog>
Yeah, I'm targeting 2.7 here
20:48
<&ToxicFrog>
And it turns out that the problem I was having is that the semantics for with are not quite what I believed them to be and, in particular, it does not work with every type.
20:48
<&jerith>
with syntax is for context managers.
20:48
<&jerith>
What are you trying to do?
20:49
<&ToxicFrog>
open two dbm files simultaneously, iterate them both, and then close them both.
20:49
< gnolam>
RichyB: but I have an Ultimate 2010 and a Premium 2012 I honestly haven't tried yet.
20:50
< gnolam>
(3rd party SDKs that were slow to update followed by plain old inertia)
20:51
<&jerith>
ToxicFrog: You probably need something like:
20:51
<&jerith>
with file('foo') as f1:
20:51
<&jerith>
with file('bar') as f2:
20:51
<&jerith>
dostuff(f1, f2)
20:52
<&ToxicFrog>
Well, it would be 'with dbm.open(...) as db1: ...etc'

20:58 ToxicFrog [ToxicFrog@ServerAdministrator.Nightstar.Net] has joined #code
21:04
<&jerith>
Whatever dbm.open() returns would have to implement the contextmanager protocol
21:09
< ToxicFrog>
jerith: yeah, and it looks like it doesn't
21:09
<&jerith>
Ah.
21:09
<&jerith>
You can write a wrapper for it.
21:09
<&jerith>
But that might not be worth the effort if it's a once-off.
21:10
< ToxicFrog>
Yeah, not for this.

23:03
< iospace>
dear expect
23:03
< iospace>
when you error out
23:03
< iospace>
please tell me what damn line you're erroring out on
23:03
< iospace>
with a number
23:04
<&McMartin>
Line <stdin>
23:05
< iospace>
McMartin: actually i take that back, it does tell you what line it failed out of
23:05
< iospace>
int he damn function, not the file
23:06
< iospace>
there
23:06
< iospace>
son of a bitch
23:07
< iospace>
i hate expect
23:27
<&McMartin>
Why do you have to contend with expect =(
23:27
<&McMartin>
Client/Server is nice, but expect is the worst kind
23:30
< iospace>
McMartin: because we have a plethora of shells we test
23:34 * Vornicus doesn't know what expect even does
23:35
<&McMartin>
expect is the program you use to handle the dialup protocols
23:35
<&McMartin>
expect "ogin:", type the login, then expect "assword:", then type the password, etc.
23:35
<@Vash>
what
23:36
<&McMartin>
You can't expect "password" because what if it's "Password"?
23:36
<@Vash>
oh, so like, when people are being done in the ass and the word for stoping is the passowrd, ok
23:36 * Vash fleeeeeeeeees
23:36
<~Vornicus>
So it hangs around waiting for strings to come in over the line and ---
23:36
<~Vornicus>
I'm... apparently marrying that.
23:36
<&McMartin>
That's "expect 'afeword:'"
23:36
<@Vash>
McM took it better than you did.
23:36
<@Vash>
Maye I should just steal McM and marry him instead
23:36
<@Vash>
Maybe, even
23:37
<@Vash>
Anyway
