We always write something unusual while doing basic things. Our own bicycles and crutches to work out some unusual situation. Here is another recipe to do a thing like so. I have tried several libraries and readymade decisions. But it assumes you have them installed. And you often try things in console, don't you? Anyway the recipe is simple and quite straightforward. import datetime # Getting first timestamp t1 = datetime . datetime . now ( ) # Your function e.g.: data = [ g . name for g in request . user . groups . all ( ) ] # Second timestamp t2 = datetime . datetime . now ( ) print "Execution time: %s" % ( t1 - t2 ) It is rude and quite simple but may often suit you well to measure execution time in a simple and straightforward manner. Also nice idea to write down this function into logs. It may be handy on refactoring of your core app for e.g.; import datetime import logging log = logging . getLogger ( 'mylogger' ) # Getting ...

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...

I'm a fan of IDE's. Also I'm a fan of GUI's. I also use console where needed, but why waist time typing commands when you can just point and click. I've been using Eclipse + PyDev for almost a year and recently switched to PyCharm. Why I prefer PyCharm: - Template Debugging. (you can set a normal breakpoints in templates) - Easy Virtualenv connection. (Set an interpreter from your virtualenv and you're ready to roll) - Has excellent set of most common CVS integrations (Git, SVN, Redmine, etc...) - Has looots of tiny tasty things for coding and proper code highlighting over JS and HTML out of the box) - Has proper and shiny themes out of the box. So I'm a blind minded blond, it seems now. But design of this IDE is really attractive IMHO :) - OH and it's quite quick and has ALL the functions I need. Here is a brief instruction to setup PyCharm IDE to work with my typical Django project. 1.  First thing you need is a PyCharm installation. Y...
