[ilugd] [OT][Crosspost] Python Is Not Java
hi all ! have a look on this : I was recently looking at the source of a wxPython-based GUI application, about 45.5KLOC in size, not counting the libraries used (e.g. Twisted). The code was written by Java developers who are relatively new to Python, and it suffers from some performance issues (like a 30-second startup time). In examining the code, I found that they had done lots of things that make sense in Java, but which suck terribly in Python. Not because Python is slower than Java, but because there are easier ways to accomplish the same goals in Python, that wouldn't even be possible in Java.

[ilugd] Fwd: [OSM-dev] Freemap Mobile - Open source mobile OSM map viewer
Hi all ! Here's something I would like to share . -- Forwarded message -- From: Nick Whitelegg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, Jun 8, 2008 at 5:16 PM Subject: [OSM-dev] Freemap Mobile - Open source mobile OSM map viewer To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everyone, Would like to announce the initial release of Freemap Mobile, a Java ME mapping application for mobile devices. Freemap Mobile displays Freemap maps (i.e. UK countryside-orientated OSM maps) on a GPS enabled mobile phone (e.g. Nokia N95) and the source code is now available in OSM SVN at applications/mobile/FreemapMobile. Alternatively the JAR/JAD files are available for download at http://www.free-map.org.uk/downloads/FreemapMobile/ Obviously with this being the initial release it's pretty basic at the moment, but will nonetheless show a Freemap map of your current location and has two zoom levels (Google zoom levels 14 and 16). It downloads tiles from the server on-demand and then caches them in the record store to avoid the need to download the map next time. It generally works though occasionally seem to get the odd glitch downloading tiles - need to investigate this further. Since Freemap only has coverage in certain areas of the UK, due to server limitations (approximately the counties Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey, Isle of Wight, Dorset, Wiltshire, the Bath area of Somerset, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, north Wales, Lancashire and Cumbria) you won't get a map anywhere by default. However, it's my intention to allow configuration of the map source so that it can view standard OSM Mapnik and osmarender maps too. At the moment this isn't implemented, however if you know Java you can change the tile source URL in line 22 of TileSource.java. Many more features are planned including points of interest, and the ability to report path problems/interesting views and create annotated photos for direction finding. The intention is to provide a countryside orientated navigation tool, however the code base could be used to create an urban OSM mapping/surveying tool with similar features. Obviously use at your own risk, I won't take responsibility if it messes up your phone! Licence is mixture of GPL / LGPL.
