This release of libtpproto-cpp is really to allow tpadmin-cpp (which uses the library) to be built without having to get the source code out of git. Having said that, this release is a preview of what libtpproto-cpp 0.2.0 will look like. ... [More] The biggest different is interaction with the library is now asynchronous, using boost::signals for callbacks. The library now requires the client using it provides an EventLoop object that the library can use to look after sockets and timers (or the client can use the SimpleEventLoop provided). Also new is the start of support for TP04. The major things missing from this release are Order, Messages and ObjectParameters. The 0.2.0 release will occur when these components are in place. Libtpproto-cpp 0.1.9 is on the downloads page and will be on our SF downloads page soon. The GIT repo is libtppproto-cpp (branch master) and the tag is LIBTPPROTO_CPP_0_1_9. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome. Bookmark/Search this post with: - delicious - digg - reddit [Less]

Hope this helps people who need to do this. #! /usr/bin/env python # Reading the cookie's from [...]

On previous versions of Ubuntu, the scripts which are called after a resume from suspend have been found in /etc/acpi/resume.d directory. I used this functionality to turn off some of the hardware in my Vaio which I don’t use (such as the bluetooth and the cdrom drive). This stopped working when I upgraded to Ubuntu [...]

This is not a post about using UTF-8 properly in Python, but doing evil, evil things. Python dutifully respects the $LANG environment variable on the terminal. It turns out that a lot of the time this variable is totally wrong, it’s set to something like C even though the terminal is UTF-8 encoding. The problem is [...]

I found the following code snippet on my hard drive today. It allows you to access Firefox 3.x cookies in Python. Firefox 3.x moved away from the older text file format to a sqlite database. This code is useful if you want to access something behind an authentication gateway and you also access the page through [...]

To accompany the recent release of tpserver-cpp 0.6.0, which is now a daemon supporting a remote administration protocol, tpadmin-cpp 0.1.0 has been released.
