markdown2.py

I've started a python-markdown2 project: this is another Python implementation of Markdown:

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

No release package yet (setup.py, setuptools, easy_install, ez_setup? -- my head is spinning), but you can get the file directly from SVN: markdown2.py.

This is the first project for which I am really using Google Code project hosting. I'm really digging it. Nice bug tracker, nice enough wiki (all wikis should use a source control system as their backend), svn. Goodbye sourceforge.

open komodo is out

The wraps are finally off Open Komodo!

• source: http://svn.openkomodo.com/openkomodo/browse/openkomodo/trunk
• grok (an alternative to lxr): http://grok.openkomodo.com/source/search?q=koDirs
• wiki: http://wiki.openkomodo.com/index.php/Main_Page
• mailing lists: http://lists.openkomodo.com/mailman/listinfo
• irc: irc.mozilla.org #komodo

Check it out.

Quick build notes:

# Get the source
svn co http://svn.openkomodo.com/repos/openkomodo/trunk openkomodo
# Build Mozilla
cd openkomodo/mozilla
python build.py configure -k 1.0 --moz-src=cvs:1.8 --release \
    --no-strip --shared --tools
python build.py distclean all
cd ..
# Build Komodo
export PATH=`pwd`/util/black:$PATH   # Komodo's "bk" build tool
bk configure
bk build
# Run Komodo
bk run

If you have the build prerequisites setup, you should be able to cut 'n paste the above. (Windows users, use the Windows-specific quick build steps in the README.txt.)

I have some (longer term) plans to reduce those build steps to:

./configure.py
mk
