Daily Life in an Ivory Basement

I'm switching several projects from darcs to either git on github, or svn on Google Code.

twill, a simple Web testing tool/HTTP driver in Python, was switched over to Google Code several months ago: see http://code.google.com/p/twill. I'll post more on twill development soon, I hope.

I just put scotch in the twill svn as well. scotch is an HTTP recording and playback tool written in Python with WSGI interfaces.

I also moved figleaf to github, at http://github.com/ctb/figleaf/tree/master. figleaf is a flexible code coverage recording and analysis tool for Python.

This move will hopefully open up development a bit more; I've been inactive for too long, and I feel that one obstacle to participation in these projects has been my self-hosting of the DVCS archives in darcs.

Note, I will probably move pinocchio, pygr-draw, zounds, and blastparser over to github as well, whenever I get around to it. I'm planning to decomission my darcs repository as I swizzle machines around while moving my virtual home over to MSU; the URLs will still work for pulling, but I'm going to stop pushing things to them.

Ran across this diary entry from wainstead, and just wanted to mention that this sort of thing (replaying HTTP traffic) is something that I do with scotch quite successfully. It hasn't proven to be particularly useful in my own projects yet, but it has been nice when debugging JavaScript-y web sites for clients.

(wainstead, if you see this, you might take another look at twill. Yes, it's in Python, but we can have the mortal combat about languages AFTER you see if it helps you solve your problem(s) ;). It integrates well with scotch, does HTTP and HTTPS, and can be integrated with unit test frameworks quite easily. I see you've already tried it, so I'd like to hear what problems you had with it.)
