In this episode I go over three classes of code, give a tip on using pageant to automatically load the private key, and improve my batch script controlling Bazaar.

Here is a link to my project page where you can find the source code: https://launchpad.net/emol

Have you considered using the Python OpenBabel bindings to read file formats? This would allow you to read more than PDB files.

Also, you may be interested in using CPK data for each element from the Blue Obelisk Data Repository.

Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

Although as important as the software it supports, education and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or improve the software tends to be deferred or even sidelined.

At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would have saved you time and frustration.

Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to help you. You can emailus for advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site. This screencasting learning-pathis a good place to start.

Kudos and Thanks for Erik
Use Cases

Good video because of the simplistic approach. A question that I have been searching to get an answer for though is how to come up with the use case scenario in the first place, before you start to document or write the formal use case (as you have described).

The main problem is to develop a realistic scenario composed of user activities - something for which I have found no documentation or pointers before. If you could do a discussion of this, I would be greatful.

very good series; shows in multiple aspects of how to construct a decent wxPython application, with bonus features for those interested in OpenGL

Great job, Erik Thompson

Nice video. I like the way you show how to find out about things you don't know using Google. I'm sure most of us do this sort of thing but for new users it may be quite helpful.

Good start to use cases... alway found systems application analysis and design to be somewhat vague in school.
