why do I have to install VC++, to compile C Extensions...
2014-02-17 04808, 2014
-
dufferzafar
can't I just get those extension from someone else
2014-02-17 04823, 2014
-
dufferzafar
and go by having fun in python (just a random though) ...
2014-02-17 04859, 2014
-
dufferzafar
I mean, I'm guessing that most of the codebase must be python, right?
2014-02-17 04802, 2014
-
luks
you can copy the dlls from the picard installer
2014-02-17 04811, 2014
-
bitmap
iirc the C extension is necessary for string comparisons
2014-02-17 04844, 2014
-
luks
yep, copy that .pyd to picard/utils (I think that's how it's called) and it should work
2014-02-17 04800, 2014
-
luks
then you just need plain python with pyqt4 and mutagen installed
2014-02-17 04807, 2014
-
dufferzafar
wooohoooo
2014-02-17 04855, 2014

dufferzafar
I am actually on a capped bandwidth connection, so downloading huge stuff is not my game :'(
2014-02-17 04858, 2014
-
luks
you will not be able to build an installer using that, but you should be fine just running picard
2014-02-17 04841, 2014
-
dufferzafar
what do these .pyd files contain? I mean, code specific to which part of picard?
2014-02-17 04813, 2014
-
luks
2014-02-17 04851, 2014
-
luks
there used to be more of them, but we have only one C extension now
2014-02-17 04820, 2014
-
luks
it's a code to compare two strings for similarity
2014-02-17 04837, 2014
-
dufferzafar
yeah, I read about it some time ago (the wiki page actually)
2014-02-17 04849, 2014
-
dufferzafar
got only half of it..
2014-02-17 04823, 2014
-
dufferzafar
why in C? this could've been just as easily implemented in python?
2014-02-17 04830, 2014
-
dufferzafar
speed?
2014-02-17 04836, 2014
-
luks
yes, speed
2014-02-17 04851, 2014
-
luks
it could be implemented in python as a backup, but there is a very large speed difference
2014-02-17 04853, 2014
-
dufferzafar
picard must be using this algo, to compute differences between the tags in file and tags on db, right?
2014-02-17 04809, 2014
-
luks
yes
2014-02-17 04800, 2014
-
luks
I actually considered adding a backup python code for the algorithm, so that it can run without any compiling for development purposes
2014-02-17 04815, 2014
-
luks
it's not hard, but I never felt motivated enough :)
2014-02-17 04821, 2014
-
dufferzafar
it's just an algorithm, the c code could be easily converted to python (if I'm not wrong).
2014-02-17 04830, 2014
-
luks
yes, it is
2014-02-17 04840, 2014

luks
not sure if there aren't some extra tweeks in the C version, but it doesn't matter much
2014-02-17 04822, 2014
-
dufferzafar
yeah, we could use the python version for dev purposes..
2014-02-17 04831, 2014
-
dufferzafar
and then deploy with the C version
2014-02-17 04832, 2014
-
dufferzafar
umm... I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I'm unable to resize the treeview on the right in the Options pane on picard.
2014-02-17 04859, 2014
-
luks
that's a kind of bug
2014-02-17 04806, 2014
-
luks
if you resize the whole window it will work
2014-02-17 04823, 2014

yeah, odd...

dufferzafar
bug with Qt or something?
2014-02-17 04836, 2014
-
luks
the right part got too big and it's blocking the left one to resize
2014-02-17 04809, 2014
-
luks
we should see what needs to be so wide in some of the right side panels
2014-02-17 04830, 2014

I think zas looked into that and found it was the checkboxes
2014-02-17 04803, 2014

yes, you can use the standard Qt tools
2014-02-17 04852, 2014
-
luks
I'm not sure if that's installed directly with PyQt
2014-02-17 04800, 2014
-
dufferzafar
I've not worked with qt honestly..
2014-02-17 04818, 2014
-
luks
I think that when installing PyQt, it asks you whether to install the Qt Designer
2014-02-17 04842, 2014
-
luks
there are some .ui files in the picard repo
2014-02-17 04859, 2014
-
luks
and there is a function in setup.py to convert them to Python code
2014-02-17 04824, 2014
-
luks
all the options are done with .ui files
2014-02-17 04806, 2014
-
dufferzafar
so, first I use the designer and create .ui files
2014-02-17 04819, 2014
-
dufferzafar
and then convert them to py code?
2014-02-17 04849, 2014

luks
yep
2014-02-17 04829, 2014

picard is not a very active project
2014-02-17 04857, 2014

is there a command I can use in a picard pulgin to send the output to log, something akin to console.log() ?
2014-02-17 04825, 2014
-
bitmap
iirc 'from picard import log' and then 'log.debug("foo")'
2014-02-17 04859, 2014
-
dufferzafar
lemme check
2014-02-17 04801, 2014
-
dufferzafar
also, why does picard create those .pyo files per plugin?
2014-02-17 04815, 2014
-
dufferzafar
I don't think it worked...
2014-02-17 04835, 2014

dufferzafar
when is a plugin code exectued?
2014-02-17 04854, 2014
-
dufferzafar
once I add a song? when I do a lookup?
2014-02-17 04803, 2014
-
dufferzafar
or when I save the correct tags?
2014-02-17 04827, 2014
-
bitmap
depending on what the metadata processor is registered for, it'll execute when the metadata is loaded (i.e. downloaded from the MB web service)
