SCons is a "next generation" build tool written in Python. It is a make replacement, and much more. It will create PDFs from latex, compile C, C++, JAVA, MS Visual Studio Projects, and anything else you can think of. This would be a wonderful tool for cross-platform development, or development of a very heterogeneous system.

Here's a collection of Python 3D software. I'm tempted to experiment with some of these, but there just aren't enough hours in a day.

Why are imperfectly spelled searches "good enough" for Google? Here is a spelling corrector that does the job in only 20 lines of Python code

I can't seem to get glewpy to work under python2.5 on a PPC mac.
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/site-packages/glew/glew.so, 2): Symbol not found: _glewInit
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/site-packages/glew/glew.so
Expected in: dynamic lookup
Any idea why this symbol is not found in glew.so ?

The jittery mouse issue has been resolved. I did this by removing the send-thread from the client that sits on Visual. It seems that the communication between the two threads was not smooth, causing the mouse events to arrive at the cluster in bursts. It seems okay to keep multiple listen-threads.

Here are some performance tips for python. There's nothing too surprising, but there are some good tidbits to keep in mind while coding. I think I might give the profile module a try...

This morning I revisited some C++ code which calls upon Python for some image manipulation. When I last touched this code it was segfaulting mysteriously. This morning it works. The only difference I can imagine is the jump to 10.4.3.

Is anyone familiar with SIP? There seem to be quite a few ways to wrap C/C++ code into Python. SWIG, SIP, Pyrex, and ctypes, to name a few.
