# Circus sprint at PyconFR
|
|
|
|
Last Thursday to Sunday, [Pycon France](http://pycon.fr) took place, in
|
|
Paris. It was the opportunity to meet a lot of people and to talk about
|
|
python awesomness in general.
|
|
|
|
We had three tracks this year, plus sprints the two first days. We
|
|
sprinted on [Circus](http://circus.io), the process and socket manager
|
|
we're using at Mozilla for some of our setups.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 :)
|
|
|
|
Here is a wrap-up of the sprint:
|
|
|
|
## Autocompletion on the command-line
|
|
|
|
[Remy Hubscher](http://natim.ionyse.com) 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 :)
|
|
|
|
[Have a look at the
|
|
feature](https://github.com/mozilla-services/circus/blob/master/extras/circusctl_bash_completion)
|
|
|
|
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 [Jonathan Dorival](https://github.com/jojax) for the work on
|
|
this\! You can have a look at [the pull
|
|
request](https://github.com/mozilla-services/circus/pull/268).
|
|
|
|
## Future changes to the web ui
|
|
|
|
[Rachid Belaid](https://twitter.com/rachbelaid) 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.
|
|
|
|
He fixed some issues that were in the tracker, so we now can have the
|
|
age of watchers in the webui, for instance.
|
|
|
|
## Bug and doc fixing
|
|
|
|
While reading the source code, we found some inconsistencies and fixed
|
|
them, with [Mathieu Agopian](http://mathieu.agopian.info/). We also
|
|
tried to improve the documentation at different levels.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
## Circus clustering capabilities
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Remy wrote [a good summary about our
|
|
brainstorming](http://tech.novapost.fr/circus-clustering-management-en.html)
|
|
so I'll not do it again here, but feel free to contact us if you have
|
|
ideas on this, they're very welcome\!
|
|
|
|
## Project management
|
|
|
|
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 :)
|
|
|
|
That's something we'll try to fix soon :)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Tarek and me are going to [Pycon ireland](http://python.ie/pycon/2012/),
|
|
feel free to reach us if you're going there, we'll be happy to meet and
|
|
enjoy beers\!
