|
|
|
<p>Last Thursday to Sunday, <a href="http://pycon.fr">Pycon France</a> took place, in
|
|
Paris. It was the opportunity to meet a lot of people and to talk about
|
|
python awesomness in general.</p>
|
|
<p>We had three tracks this year, plus sprints the two first days. We
|
|
sprinted on <a href="http://circus.io">Circus</a>, the process and socket manager
|
|
we’re using at Mozilla for some of our setups.</p>
|
|
<p>The project gathered some interest, and we ended up with 5 persons
|
|
working on it. Of course, we spent some time explaining what is Circus,
|
|
how it had been built, a lot of time talking about use-cases and
|
|
possible improvements, but we also managed to add new features.</p>
|
|
<p>Having people wanting to sprint on our projects is exciting because
|
|
that’s when making things in the open unleashes its full potential. You
|
|
can’t imagine how happy I was to have some friends come and work on this
|
|
with us :)</p>
|
|
<p>Here is a wrap-up of the sprint:</p>
|
|
<h2 id="autocompletion-on-the-command-line">Autocompletion on the command-line</h2>
|
|
<p><a href="http://natim.ionyse.com">Remy Hubscher</a> worked on the command-line
|
|
autocompletion. Now we have a fancy command-line interface which is able
|
|
to aucomplete if you’re using bash. It seems that not that much work is
|
|
needed to make it happen on zsh as well :)</p>
|
|
<p><a href="https://github.com/mozilla-services/circus/blob/master/extras/circusctl_bash_completion">Have a look at the feature</a></p>
|
|
<p>On the same topic, we now have a cool shell for Circus. If you start the
|
|
circusctl command without any option, you’ll end-up with a cool shell.
|
|
Thanks <a href="https://github.com/jojax">Jonathan Dorival</a> for the work on
|
|
this! You can have a look at <a href="https://github.com/mozilla-services/circus/pull/268">the pull
|
|
request</a>.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="future-changes-to-the-web-ui">Future changes to the web ui</h2>
|
|
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/rachbelaid">Rachid Belaid</a> had a deep look at the
|
|
source code and is much more familiarized to it now than before. We
|
|
discussed the possibility to change the implementation of the web ui,
|
|
and I’m glad of this. Currently, it’s done with bottle.py and we want to
|
|
switch to pyramid.</p>
|
|
<p>He fixed some issues that were in the tracker, so we now can have the
|
|
age of watchers in the webui, for instance.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="bug-and-doc-fixing">Bug and doc fixing</h2>
|
|
<p>While reading the source code, we found some inconsistencies and fixed
|
|
them, with <a href="http://mathieu.agopian.info/">Mathieu Agopian</a>. We also
|
|
tried to improve the documentation at different levels.</p>
|
|
<p>Documentation still needs a lot of love, and I’m planning to spend some
|
|
time on this shortly. I’ve gathered a bunch of feedback on this</p>
|
|
<h2 id="circus-clustering-capabilities">Circus clustering capabilities</h2>
|
|
<p>One feature I wanted to work on during this sprint was the clustering
|
|
abilities of Circus. Nick Pellegrino made an internship on this topic at
|
|
Mozilla so we spent some time to review his pull requests.</p>
|
|
<p>A lot of code was written for this so we discussed a bunch of things
|
|
regarding all of this. It took us more time than expected (and I still
|
|
need to spend more time on this to provide appropriate feedback), but it
|
|
allowed us to have a starting-point about what this clustering thing
|
|
could be.</p>
|
|
<p>Remy wrote <a href="http://tech.novapost.fr/circus-clustering-management-en.html">a good summary about our
|
|
brainstorming</a>
|
|
so I’ll not do it again here, but feel free to contact us if you have
|
|
ideas on this, they’re very welcome!</p>
|
|
<h2 id="project-management">Project management</h2>
|
|
<p>We’ve had some inquiries telling us that’s not as easy as it should to
|
|
get started with the Circus project. Some of the reasons are that we
|
|
don’t have any release schedule, and that the documentation is hairy
|
|
enough to lost people, at some point :)</p>
|
|
<p>That’s something we’ll try to fix soon :)</p>
|
|
<p>PyconFR was a very enjoyable event. I’m looking forward to meet the
|
|
community again and discuss how Circus can evolve in ways that are
|
|
interesting to everyone.</p>
|
|
<p>Tarek and me are going to <a href="http://python.ie/pycon/2012/">Pycon ireland</a>,
|
|
feel free to reach us if you’re going there, we’ll be happy to meet and
|
|
enjoy beers!</p>
