Testoob is an advanced unit testing framework for Python. It integrates effortlessly with existing PyUnit (module ‘unittest’) test suites.

When running "python test.py" the interpreter will first precompile the test.py source file, and then execute it. When running "python test.pyc", the interpreter will go straight to the execution of the script.

ProfitPy is a set of libraries and tools for the development, testing, and execution of automated stock trading systems Specifically, ProfitPy is a collection of Python packages, modules, and scripts that work together to help you implement an automated stock trading program (or programs). The package features: A library with classes for accounts, orders, tickers, and more A GUI program for executing and plotting trades in real-time A GUI tool to collect ticker data for off-line use A CLI tool to back-test trading strategies Dozens of technical indicators and plotting widgets to display them An X11 keystroke tool for automating the TWS application

I love python for its beautiful code and practicality. But it’s not going to win a pure speed race with most languages. Most people think of speed and ease-of-use as polar opposites - probably because they remember the pain of writing C. Cython tries to eliminate that duality and lets you have python syntax with C data types and functions - the best of both worlds. Keeping in mind that I’m by no means an expert at this, here are my notes based on my first real experiment with Cython:

I wrote dbtxt because I needed a small, flat database in a python environment that didn't depend upon any external libraries. Most libraries are contaminated with the GPL, and this needed to be OK for commercial distribution without any complications. So that's what we have here - a complete (though small) database system that depends on nothing at all other than the Python language and its internal libraries. The entire database comes in at about 20k bytes (that's right, "k", not hundreds of k or megabytes) and I was able to implement all the functions I needed. So I was happy. Will you be happy? Well, download it and read the docs and see what you think. The download, zipped, is about 13k. Yep. 13k. :-) By all means, if you have a need for the same kind of thing, feel free to make any use of dbtxt you please. I have released it as PD, so you can use it in projects that are commercial, GPL, BSD, PD, private, government... whatever you like. Below you'll find a basic description taken from beginning of the docs; in the archive you'll download there is complete documentation, two sample databases, a test program and the database engine itself.

I hope this article encourages you to think about your command line programs in a different light, and to treat them as first class objects. Using inheritance to share code is so common in other areas of development that it is hardly given a second thought in most cases. As has been shown with the SQLiteAppBase programs, the same technique can be just as powerful when applied to building command line programs, saving development time and testing effort as a result. CommandLineApp has been used as the foundation for dozens of types of programs, and could be just what you need the next time you have to write a new command line program.

Speech Recognition may be possible with COM. I found an example of how its done in Python.

Looks like foom is busy. Anyway, here is the verbatim translation of the script foom linked. I can't test it myself as no mike is installed on my machine. If you hear "Starting Succeeded", then, try to say one/two/three. NEED CoHelper.ahk.

PyChecker is a tool for finding bugs in python source code. It finds problems that are typically caught by a compiler for less dynamic languages, like C and C++. It is similar to lint. Because of the dynamic nature of python, some warnings may be incorrect; however, spurious warnings should be fairly infrequent.

The pycurl package is a Python interface to libcurl (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/). pycurl has been successfully built and tested with Python versions from 2.2 to the current 2.5.x releases.

Objects that represent potential behavior (functions and methods) can be invoked, or called. We can test an object's callability with the callable() function:
