Here are some scripts and documents that I have written for my own needs that may (or may not) be useful to others too.

Obviously, some are better maintained than others.

Current Projects

VMR – a publishing and analysis system for humanities data. Used for ancient manuscripts, but may have other uses also.

Zpress – a WordPress compilable blog clone in Python/Django – i.e. this site you are looking at now. There has not been a public code release yet.

Better Python Console plugin for Gedit – IDLE-like console for the Gnome Editor. Aims to help people learn Python. It allows you to whack F5 to execute Python code. Visit the GNOME wiki for more information and screenshots.

Zetact - A reusable contact form module in Python. zetact has two parts. The FormProcessor class that can be reused by Python web developers to make more advanced forms with different fields. There is also a simpleform function that can be used by those who just want a simple contact form in a hurry. The other files demonstrate how to use this.

Zecoin – A Python library for coin collecting applications. Works for me, might be too low-level for you if you don’t like the Python interface.

Using your Ipod on Linux – This was a guide for gtkpod and Sound Juicer written for non-technical users. E.g. one technical person sets up a computer for someone else and gives them this document. Nowadays, Ipod support for Linux is built into Rhythmbox and Amarok, so a non-technical user can hopefully use their Ipod on Linux without a document. But it might still be useful to someone.
