This is reminder-to-self about how to get set up and contribute to PySide2 using Gerrit.

Qt.py is now available on conda-forge!

Yesterday, @jschueller added pyside2-feedstock to conda-forge.

I’ve received questions lately on the issues that people are having while attempting to build PySide2 on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Not sure how I didn’t learn about this until today.

A boilerplate which can be used on Windows and Linux/macOS in order to asynchronously run subprocesses.

It seems Autodesk did not create a Render Setup documentation.

Quick and easy way to remove all containers (and their volumes) as well as all images: # Remove containers and their volumes docker stop $(docker ps -a -q) docker rm -v $(docker ps -a -q) # Remove images docker rmi -f $(docker images -q) # Remove unused…

Quick note on how to install ffmpeg (using Homebrew) and various mp4 conversion commands on Unix.

This is a quick intro to – and some personal notes on working with – Bash in Windows 10 (Anniversary Update or Insider build requred).

Here’s a fantastic resource for anyone who wish they could learn from a Python professional rather than reading a book: Corey Schafer’s Python Tutorials Among Cory’s other playlists there are playlists covering how to set up a Python developer environment,

A quick way to enter an interactive docker container: docker run --rm --interactive --tty -v /localfolder:/containerfolder centos:7 On Windows, use forward slashes for the directory mapping.

Qt.py can be installed in many ways, depending on your needs.

This post aims to give an introduction to the Qt.py project and how to get set up with it for PySide/PyQt4 and PySide2/PyQt5 development.

Maya 2017 was released today and with it comes a big change; PySide (and PyQt4) no longer works with Maya.

This is my Sublime Text 3 setup, with ambitions to create a custom Python IDE.

We made the move to CentOS 7 and I switched out all init.d scripts with systemd services.

I’ve recently started taking a look at Chocolatey – “apt-get for Windows” – and here are a couple of how-to’s… Install Chocolatey on Windows 10 64-bit First off, you might want to know why I’m not using the built-in OneGet, which is a “package manager man…

This guide assumes the target host is already running CentOS (a derivate of Red Hat Enterprise Linux) or at least running the GRUB boot loader and that you have root access to this host.

The absolutely fastest way to get a simple web server up and running using Python 3, for development purposes. cd my_web_root python -m http.server Or if you are on Python 2.x:

Here’s how to fix that nagging InsecurePlatformWarning warning in Python.

I’ve been struggling to install a portable/relocatable virtualenv with PySide 1.2.2 for Python 2.7.

It took some trial and error to successfully install and license Maya 2016 in Ubuntu 14.04, and here’s how I did it.

There is a two-week delay before gsutil gets updated with the latest and greatest.

I recently wanted to show the progress of a file copy made from a python script (or actually, from a python script running inside of Maya and Nuke).

In Linux, you can kill all processes by name (or by username etc) using something like this: kill -9 $(ps aux | grep 'some_process_name' | awk '{print $2}')

Guest blogging for Google!

Ever needed to do a simple search for an application, a file or a folder in Linux and when whereis doesn’t return anything useful?

If you would like to run a thin client installation of Maya, which means you run it off a network share rather from a local installation, you need to make sure to copy symlinks on Linux.

Setting up gsutil to sync files over to Google Cloud Storage (on CentOS 6) requires some environment variables to be set, which seems oddly undocumented at the moment.

Well, at least in Linux you might find out using this command: lsof <folder name>

When installing Fabric on CentOS 6.6 using pip, it seems a bug is being hit.

This will print to stdout, similar to a regular print, but it will also log to file. import logging # Logging setup LOG_FILEPATH = '/path/to/log_file.log' logger = logging.getLogger('My logger') logger.setLevel(logging.INFO) formatter = logging.Formatter…

Quick and dirty way to just create a 10GB temp file for testing e.g. network transfer speeds.

An easy way to get going with PySide in Maya (or Nuke for that matter) without the hassle of dealing with the shiboken/sip layer.
