Macbook+openSUSE 11.1+MacOSX

June 30th, 2009 Gabriel Stein No comments

I don’t have some screenshots, but I installed openSUSE 11.1 on Macbook and works fine! I will give some hints to people:

- Install rEFIt on MacOSX
- Use BootCamp to make the linux partition. After, quit BootCamp without installation.
- Reboot
- Install openSUSE, but you need to change the Boot Loader installation! NEVER install on MBR. Use the root partition installation.

For me, worked fine. I can use the right click (just using 2 fingers at same time), wireless works fine. Just the webcam have some problems, but I didn’t have enough time to test it. I read some documentation which says about Skype using, I will test it soon. On cheese, didn’t works.  V4L drivers didn’t worked well(or I didn’t installed correctly).

Some links below about installation and hardware compatibility.

Python :: One minute Lesson – Files

May 29th, 2009 Gabriel Stein 1 comment

A little introduction ‘how to open and write in a file’.  Its a very simple note, you can find more complete documentation here.

To open a file:

>>> my_file=open(’myfile.txt’,'w’)
>>> print my_file
<open file ‘myfile.txt’, mode ‘w’ at 0×00A999D0>
>>> type(my_file)
<type ‘file’>

To write:

>>> content=”Testing python write”
>>> my_file=open(’myfile.txt’,'w’)
>>> write_content=my_file.write(content)
>>> my_file.close()
>>> open_text=open(’myfile.txt’,'r’)
>>> file_content=open_text.read()
>>> print file_content
Testing python write

Well… is the end of  ‘One Minute Lesson’. I created those posts just to remember some important study notes(like personal notes) and show ‘how nice’ python is.

Be my guest and use the comments.

Its a very simple trick. There’s a lot of really good documentation about python and memory(Like here)

This trick is just to look the address of some objects, like variables:

>>> name=’Gremio’
>>> print id(name)

Less than  one minute.
