Why Python is so awesome sometimes

verma — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:31:26 +0000

Here’s why I totally love python sometimes:

def _callService (self, headers, callback, errback = None, method='GET'):
    # ....
    return some_val

def _callServiceGET (*args, **kwargs):
    return args[0]._callService (*args[1:], method='GET', **kwargs)

def _callServiceHEAD (*args, **kwargs):
    return args[0]._callService (*args[1:], method='HEAD', **kwargs)

GMail Notifier v0.4.5 released. Ubuntu package available.

Just released GMail Notifier v0.4.5.

It is now available as an ubuntu package which can be downloaded and installed directly on an Ubuntu 9.04 machine. The program should now be super convenient to install.

More features are being added to the program everyday, so stay tuned (actually the program will let you know whenever a new version is available).

GMail-Notifier : Mac OS X style GMail notification for Ubuntu

verma — Sat, 23 May 2009 23:11:22 +0000

Here’s the link for the impatient: GMail-Notifier

I just got the GMail Notification application I had been working to a stable state. It should now work for you on a Ubuntu 9.04+ system. Just download the source and run:

./gmail-notify

The first time you run it, it should ask you for your gmail credentials.

I am looking into making it into a .deb package but that will have to wait while I figure out how to do it. Till then feel free to test it and let me know of any problems you get into.
