Some Tools

I'm using this post to experiment with MarsEdit which i may use for updating my blog.
Interestingly after 3 years of VI/VIM I am trying to find an IDE.
The main contenders are WingWare Personal and Komodo 4.
Jonathan Ellis feels that Komodo 4 is the clear winner. Here are my views so far after a couple of days testing

• UI - Komodo 4 is a bit slicker and WingWare runs on OSX only as an X11 application. Actually this is not such a big drawback as you may think as the OSX X11 server is pretty well done so that WingWare almost looks native


• Komodo 4 wins the code completion since i can see the argument parameters


• I like the WingWare shell and the fact that you can select text to run in the shell


• Komodo Edit has no debugger while WingWare Personal has a pretty good debugger


• Costs - I know i've got to get a commercial version of the tool i choose. This is especially true for WingWare as the EULA prohibits use for profit. WingWare is cheaper. ($179 vs $245)


• I'm not so sure how well WingWare supports SVN. Kmodo 4 claims it does

As for MARSEdit OK but the spellchecker is a bit flakey. At least i was able to connect to my blog. I could not do this with Ecto!!!
Ok i've actually had to post this using the web control pannel. The MarsEdit forums are blaming blogger.
I think i'll stick with the web control pannel

Welcome

Hi this a blog i created to express my view on things pythonic and more importantly to document my work on the pyTIC project.
pyTIC - Python Time Intelligence Components is a set of tools for working with Time Series data commonly found in Economics and Finance.

pyTIC is implemented in python and takes advantage of some cool libraries which do most of the hardwork. These include:

• python-dateutil
• Numpy
• SQLAlchemy/SQLSoup

I hope to have something out by next-week as regards to date ranges, calendars and date arithmetic
