Delete all '.pyc' files recursively OS X


We often get strange errors with python. When you changing the source and cannot figure out why files are used from past. So if you ever get this dejavu feeling, try using this command:
find . -type f -name '*.pyc' -exec rm {} \;
It will delete all precompiled python sources. (Because with python you have ability to distribute your files in binaries in fact.) Those errors usually appear if you move/delete *.py files with version control. You usually exclude *.pyc files from list. Old links used this way. Debugger does not suggest wrong imports because your files are in fact there, just precompiled.
Anyway I've just put this command to my blog for memorizing. It often helps me. Maybe it can for you.

    I came here to read your article on using South, and found this. It's almost identical to my own setup, except I have it as a bash alias, also delete .pyo files, and use xargs for speed. If you're interested it's:

    alias pyc='find . \( -iname \*\.pyc -o -iname \*\.pyo \) -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f'

    A slightly modified version that removes files in bulk, as in: "rm file1 file2 file3" instead of "rm file1; rm file2; rm file3".

    find . -name \*.pyc -exec rm \{\} \+

Pretty git Log

SO you dislike git log output in console like me and do not use it... Because it looks like so: How about this one? It's quite easy... Just type: git log - - graph - - pretty = format : '%Cred%h%Creset -%C ( yellow ) %d%Creset %s %Cgreen ( %cr) %C ( bold blue ) <%an>%Creset' - - abbrev - commit - - It may be hard to enter such an easy command every time. Let's make an alias instead... Copypaste this to your terminal: git config --global alias.lg "log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --" And use simple command to see this pretty log instead: git lg Now in case you want to see lines that changed use: git lg - p In order for this command to work remove  the -- from the end of the alias. May the code be with you! NOTE: this article is a rewritten copy of  http://coderwall.com/p/euwpig?i=3&p=1&t=git   and have b...

Django: Resetting Passwords (with internal tools)

I have had a task recently. It was about adding a forms/mechanism for resetting a password in our Django based project. We have had our own registration system ongoing... It's a corporate sector project. So you can not go and register yourself. Admins (probably via LDAP sync) will register your email/login in system. So you have to go there and only set yourself a password. For security reasons you can not register. One word. First I've tried to find standart decision. From reviewed by me were: django-registration and django password-reset . These are nice tools to install and give it a go. But I've needed a more complex decision. And the idea was that own bicycle is always better. So I've thought of django admin and that it has all the things you need to do this yourself in no time. (Actually it's django.contrib.auth part of django, but used out of the box in Admin UI) You can find views you need for this in there. they are: password_reset password_reset_...
