So many terminal applications bind q to exit, even the python debugger, its muscle memory for me. But to exit ipython I have to type out exit<ENTER>. This is fine, but since q is muscle memory for me I get this error a few times per day. ╭─────────────────────────────── Traceback (most recent call last) ────────────────────────────────╮ │ <ipython-input-1-2b66fd261ee5>:1 in <module> │ ╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ NameError: name 'q' is not defined After digging way too deep into how IPython implements its ExitAutoCall I realized there was a very simple solution here. IPython automatically imports all the scripts you put in your profile directory, all I needed was to create ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/q.py with the following. q = exit It was that simple. This is not a game changer by any means, but I will now see one less error in my workflow. I just press q<Enter> and I am out, without error.

It’s no secret that I love automation, and lately my templating framework of choice has been copier. One hiccup I recently ran into was having spaces in my templated directory names. This makes it harder to run commands against as you need to escape them, and if they end up in a url you end up with ugly %20 all over. Cookiecutter has the solution # [1] Yes the solution comes from a competing templating framework. I install copier with pipx, so I need to inject cookiecutter in to my copier environment to use the slugify filter. pipx inject copier cookiecutter If you are using a normal virtual environment [2] you can just pip install it. pip install copier cookiecutter add the extension to your template # [3] copier.yml Now to enable the extension you need to declare it in your copier.yml file in your template. _jinja_extensions: - cookiecutter.extensions.SlugifyExtension Use it | slugify # [4] use-it Now to use it, anywhere that you want to slugify a variable, you just pipe it into slugify. ❯ tree . . ├── copier.yml ├── README.md └── {{ site_name|slugify }} └── markata.toml.jinja 1 directory, 3 files Here is a slimmed down version of what the copier.yml looks like. ...

Textual has devtools in the upcoming css branch, and its pretty awesome! It’s still early # [1] Textual is still very early and not really ready for prime time, but it’s quite amazing how easy some things such as creating keybindings is. The docs are coming, but missing right now so if you want to use textual be ready for reading source code and examples. On to the devtools # [2] As @willmcgugan [3] shows in this tweet it’s pretty easy to setup, it requires having two terminals open, or using tmux, and currently you have to use the css branch. https://twitter.com/willmcgugan/status/1531294412696956930 Why does textual need its own devtools # [4] Textual is a tui application framework. Unlike when you are building cli applications, when the tui takes over the terminal in full screen there is no where to print statement debug, and breakpoints don’t work. getting the css branch # [5] In the future it will likely be in main and not need this, but for now you need to get the css branch to get devtools. git clone https://github.com/Textualize/textual git fetch --alll git checkout css install in a virtual environment [6] # [7] Now you can create a virtual environment, feel f...
