As I am writing this, I am sitting in a train home from Akademy 2018, KDE’s annual developer conference, which took place in Vienna this year. Akademy always is a great mix of some talks, some socializing with people you otherwise only communicate with through mailing lists or IRC, and some hacking, and this year’s conference was no exception to this. In this post, I will detail some of the […]
Akademy, KDE’s annual developer conference, is over — and as always, it was a great experience! Thanks a lot to the local organization team, and of course to all the nice people attending and discussing things. Akademy is typically a mix of hacking, visiting workshops and talks, and socializing with other KDE people. In the KDevelop workshop for example, we discussed about the future of the project — which issues […]
On Sunday, this year’s KDE sprint in Randa, Switzerland came to an end and I am now back home. It was a productive and fun week, as always when meeting the other KDE folks. I spent a lot of time on polishing things and fixing small issues mostly in KDevelop, such as: reduce flickering of the completion widget in kdevelop fix various cases where KDevelop’s navigation widget (see above) would […]
I am currently at the KDE sprint in Randa, Switzerland. There are about 40 nice people here, working on making KDE software awesome. This year’s focus is on deploying our software more nicely — on Windows and OS X, but on Linux as well. Especially for user-faced applications like KDevelop, it really makes a big difference whether you use today’s version, or the one from two years ago. Many people […]
I spent the last two or three days playing around with KDE on Windows, with the aim of getting my Python language plugin for KDevelop to run there. In the end, it wasn’t that hard to get this to work — not as hard as I would have expected it to be, anyways. Several things needed to be fixed in kdev-python, the build system required a bit of tickling, but […]
The last few days, we had a joint kate and KDevelop sprint in Berlin. I finally found the time to fix up the Python language support plugin for KDevelop, which was in a quite bad shape in the last few months. Most importantly, the 1.7-py3 branch now supports Python 3.4.3, and the master branch supports KF5 (this mostly thanks to Laurent, who did most of the porting) and Python 3.5, […]
Yesterday, Python 3.4 was finally released, so I’m now happy to announce the first stable release of kdevelop-python which supports Python 3! See below for the tarballs. As in the Python 2 series, PyQt continues to be one of the best supported frameworks. Obsolete, please use 1.6.1-py3 (see below) — 1.6.0 didn’t build on some systems kdev-python version 1.6.0-py3 http://download.kde.org/stable/kdevelop/kdev-python/1.6.0/src/kdev-python-v1.6.0-py3.tar.xz.mirrorlist SHA256:974178fa00a34c5e2a4d9f6408c7fcbf92e7933182dd59216a11c1452238ceb7 kdev-python version 1.6.1-py3 http://download.kde.org/stable/kdevelop/kdev-python/1.6.1/src/kdev-python-v1.6.1-py3.tar.xz.mirrorlist SHA256: 26b1fa25e8f24f1e0b801ece02b283a750e77543e6df1e571dd52b36778859a5 The kdev-python 1.6-py3 […]
Good news: Python 3.4 is about to be released, and with it kdevelop-python’s first version to support Python 3. Until that happens in a few days, here’s a beta: kdev-python version 1.5.80-py3 http://download.kde.org/unstable/kdevelop/kdev-python/1.5.80/src/kdev-python-1.5.80-py3.tar.xz.mirrorlist SHA256:99ca1ce97e2a7e553051be7505c17a921ab1aaf318999826ea285f771bcc538a The kdev-python 1.6-py3 series is compatible with KDevelop 4.6 (kdevplatform 1.6) and is suitable for working with Python 3.x source code. If you’re only interested in using (as opposed to packaging or developing) kdev-python, you should […]
Last week I have been in Barcelona at the KDevelop / Kate sprint with all the other nice people working on those projects. As always, it was very cool to meet everyone again and spend a week together improving software. A big thanks to the organizers and sponsors, too! Since most of the time I work on a fairly encapuslated subsystem (Python support for KDevelop) and only a smaller part […]
Hi! I’m happy to announce the the availability of version 1.5 of kdev-python, the Python language support plugin for the KDevelop development environment. For the official (short) announcement containing links to the tarballs, see the announcement on the KDevelop website. Here’s a short video which demonstrates some of kdev-python’s (and KDevelop’s) nice features: (if your network connection allows it, you can also watch the full-resolution version — or here’s a […]
