Combat the WTF in iPhone Development

-
I thought I would share some information for those that may be new to iPhone development, or may have forgotten.

If you see this: __TERMINATING_DUE_TO_UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION__
popup during a runtime error, check here: Console.app
for a more verbose explanation.

Most of the time you will find the WTF.

Python SUDS with Windows Authentication (SOAP)

-
While intergrating Plone with CRM4, I stumbled upon Suds. However, it didn't support NTLM. Then I found python-ntlm, and merged the two libs. Below is the result. You can add it at the bottom of suds/transport.py class WindowsHttpAuthenticated(HttpAuthenticated): """ Provides Windows (NTLM) http authentication. @ivar pm: The password manager. @ivar handler: The authentication handler. @author: Christopher Bess """ def __init__(self, options): # try to import ntlm support try: from ntlm import HTTPNtlmAuthHandler except ImportError: raise Exception("Cannot import python-ntlm module") return HttpTransport.__init__(self, options) self.pm = u2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm() self.handler = HTTPNtlmAuthHandler.HTTPNtlmAuthHandler(self.pm) self.urlopener = u2.build_opener(self.handler) u2.install_opener(self.urlopener) ...

SimpleUnitTest - Easy iPhone and iPad Unit Test

SimpleUnit(Test) for iPhone/iPad test driven development, fast. Notes: - Problem, you have a relatively large codebase, that isn't unit tested and you need a really fast way to get test driven development. - I love Python unit tests, because you drop in a folder (pkg), create a module and import yo junks. Bam, unit test heaven. I looked around on the net for something, similar (for about an hour) and found nothing. - This was done quick and dirty, to get test driven development fast and zero fuss - It works without any scripts, build settings changes or target touching (see example proj) - 100% safe (with cond. compilation) and incredibly easy to institute - Drop in the folder, add two lines of code (import and tests runner call), and start writing unit tests! - It also allows you to have a near native/real world environment. - I also wanted a unit test system that would let my app start to setup the database, app vars, etc. - Keep in...

Text Sherlock the OpenGrok alternative (Source Code Search Engine)

-

OpenGrok has taken much to long to setup in the past, so in my dissatisfaction, I wrote Text Sherlock . Text Sherlock strives to be an easy to setup version of OpenGrok , written in Python. Think of Text Sherlock as a personal source code search engine. But, it can be run from a dedicated server. Features: It has built-in support for whoosh and xapian backends. It provides a web search interface similar to GitHub. It quickly installs. Set the configuration options in the local_settings.yml script. Then run an installation script in your install directory. Once done, everything is a simple command. Web search interface. Matched document interface. Well documented and it works as expected. Check it out and drop a comment or submit an issue via GitHub. https://github.com/cbess/text-sherlock
