espeak is a fast speech synthesizer and is the only open source synthesizer I know that's still understandable when played at high speed (300-400 words per minute). And this is the only python library that wraps the C library `speak_li

I'm not sure if you're looking for an ELI5 of the question or the answer. I'll explain the answer since others already explained the question. You'll only have the time at which your friend leaves (in seconds since the s

Pick 5400 23-bit vectors (the answers you will write) and your friend picks the one that minimizes its Hamming distance to the true answer. 5400*23 + 5400*23*22/2 < 2**23 so answering 21 questions with certainty is impossib

dragonwriter said it here but the actual reasoning went something like this: 1. I need to add some documentation and explanation. 2. I might as well document the different parts using screenshots since the elements are visual. 3. I might as

Interesting! I do the same with ipython. Now if only we could edit idle's own UI while its running.

Thanks! From the first example, it looks more like a UI toolkit than a (visual) editor though. At least it seem the layout can only be created using code. I remember Squeak having a tree (I forget the name) but don't remember if it was

Indeed! Although I only recently learned of Squeak Smalltalk and variants like Pharo and Cuis (quite a bit after tkui was close to its current state). What GUI maker(s) do you recommend for Smalltalk? Let me elaborate on your comment for ot

tkui is one of my joke side projects but it does run and serve a purpose. I was trying to make some quick GUIs in Python for my own use but always restarting the program when small details in the layout changes makes for a slow workflow (cl

I've just changed the project's name to pyzdb. Thanks again!

Interesting! I will have to take a deeper look at BlitzDB. I don't know much about MongoDB (so probably wouldn't be a good maintainer) but the sample code looks good. I can't tell how it handles nesting though.

Yes, indeed! Thanks for pointing that out. I actually saw that when I was cleaning this up a bit for release and couldn't make up my mind. I mean I'm not modifying args or kwargs now but if I did later, I could shoot myself in the

I decided to push a quick patch to github so installation with just `pip install -r requirements.txt` is possible now. I'll look into proper packaging later on. Thanks again!

Oh, thanks, I wasn't aware of that flag. Though for the moment pip install -e git://github.com/asrp/undoable#egg=undoable tells me `setup.py` doesn't exist (because it doesn't). I haven't got

Thanks! I'm glad to see this looks potentially useful to someone other than myself. If the client could start servers (other than by importing from server.py), what would be the intended outcome if two clients try to spin up servers a

As you correctly observed, I mainly used ZeroMQ for the fan-in, so I need only consider one request at a time without worrying about chunking, disconnection or other lower (socket) level issues. For speed, the idea is that you could potenti

Thank you! I looked up databases to see if there were obvious name clashes but never thought of debuggers despite using `pdb` a lot. I'm open to suggestions for names if anyone has one. (Although I guess it'd be nice if the top di

A lot of the author's complaints, especially near the end, are personal preferences which explains by these "improvements" were never added. Not everyone would prefer a move to a significantly more functional style. Arguably
