So, damit ist Australien als Reise- und Auswanderungsziel auch hinfällig. Ein Abgeordneter (einer Rechtsaußenpartei) hat eine »Endlösung der Einwanderungsfrage« gefordert.

New tablet: Wacom Intuos Pro. Very nice, especially that it has less inactive space (= is smaller) than its predecessors (which so far continue to refuse to predecease it, too).

The least good thing about it is the pen stand. All the previous models had a large funnel-like thing on top that would catch the pen even if you didn’t have perfect aim. This one doesn’t, and I keep missing.

So, I’m obviously migrating a lot of content over from Facebook, and when I’m done with that, I’m going to continue with even more stuff from Google+.

That is going to take a while.

But since hardly anyone is reading this nonsense anyway, it doesn’t really matter, does it?

Thought so.

$ hpost - "Fly Away Home"

Huh.

$ head -n 1 bin/hpost

$ type python3
python3 is /usr/local/bin/python3

When copying scripts from Windows, it helps to de-CRLF them. env was looking for python3^M, and unsurprisingly, didn’t find it.

You know, this thing is really rather shiny.

Die Antwort auf die Frage nach dem Leben, dem Universum und dem ganzen Rest ist 42.

Die Antwort auf das andere Ende ist anscheinend 41. Absolutely beautiful.

How to build pywin32 with current Visual Studio:

0. Install Visual Studio 2017. Include the Windows 8.1 SDK.
1. Start VS developer command prompt
2. git clone https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32.git
3. set MSSDK_INCLUDE=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\include
4. set MSSDK_LIB=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\lib\winv6.3\um
5. python.exe setup.py build
6. Sacrifice a small domestic or farmyard animal
7. python.exe setup.py build
8. If you want it badly enough, try scaling up the sacrifices. It won’t help, though.

And remember: To make a debug build, you not only have to have the debug version of Python installed, but you must use it to run setup.py .

More Python shenanigans.

C:\Daten>py -3.6 -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('platlib', 'nt_user'))"
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python36\site-packages

C:\Daten>py -3.6-32 -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('platlib', 'nt_user'))"
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python36\site-packages

Am I missing something? Otherwise, would someone please explain why this was considered anything but a recipe for disaster?

Let me illustrate …

C:\Daten> py -3.6 -m pip install --user pywin32
[... installs ... ]

C:\Daten> py -3.6-32 -m pip install --user pywin32
[...]
Requirement already satisfied: pywin32 in C:\Users\me\appdata\roaming\python\python36\site-packages (223)

C:\Daten> py -3.6-32

>>> import win32api

Um. WTF?

Also, platlib and purelib are apparently the same in all schemes, not just on Windows. Why have them separate in the first place?

Ich hätte jetzt gedacht, die Piraten wären eher die anderen gewesen. Vermutlich chinesische solche, unter den Umständen.
