Install packages from git repo using pip

Packages in git repo (or hg, svn, bzr) can be installed with "pip install -e" directly. Base on the help message of "pip install", we have

  -e VCS+REPOS_URL[@REV]#egg=PACKAGE, --editable=VCS+REPOS_URL[@REV]#egg=PACKAGE
                        Install a package directly from a checkout. Source
                        will be checked out into src/PACKAGE (lower-case) and
                        installed in-place (using setup.py develop). You can
                        run this on an existing directory/checkout (like pip
                        install -e src/mycheckout). This option may be
                        provided multiple times. Possible values for VCS are:
                        svn, git, hg and bzr.


To use it, first make sure you have git installed. Such as "sudo apt-get install git-core" on ubuntu. And then you may follow the below examples(install redis-py):

# Install from master
pip install -e git+https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py.git#egg=redis-py
# Install a branch
pip install -e git+https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py.git@pubsub#egg=redis-py
# Install a tag
pip install -e git+https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py.git@2.8.0#egg=redis-py
# Install a commit
pip install -e git+https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py.git@90ba027#egg=redis-py

Base on this post in stackoverflow, you may also specify a line in the requirment file(like reqs.txt):

-e git+https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py.git@90ba027#egg=redis-py

And then, install it with "pip install -r reqs.txt".

A simple implementation of DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) in C#/python

DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) is a very useful tools for time series analysis. This is a very simple (but not very efficient) c# implementation of DTW, the source code is available at  https://gist.github.com/1966342  . Use the program as below: double[] x = {9,3,1,5,1,2,0,1,0,2,2,8,1,7,0,6,4,4,5}; double[] y = {1,0,5,5,0,1,0,1,0,3,3,2,8,1,0,6,4,4,5}; SimpleDTW dtw = new SimpleDTW(x,y); dtw.calculateDTW(); The python implementation is available at  https://gist.github.com/3265694  . from python-dtw import Dtw import math dtw = Dtw([1, 2, 3, 4, 6], [1, 2, 3, 5],           distance_func=lambda x, y: math.fabs(x - y)) print dtw.calculate() #calculate the distance print dtw.get_path() #calculate the mapping path

Change the default user when start a docker container

When run(start) a docker container from an image, we can specify the default user by passing -u option in command line(In https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#user ). For example docker run -i -t -u ubuntu ubuntu:latest /bin/bash We can also use the USER instruction in DOCKERFILE to do the same thing(In https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#user), note that the option in command line will override the one in the DOCKERFILE. And there is actually another way to start a container with neither DOCKERFILE nor -u option, just by a command like: docker run -i -t ubuntu:latest /bin/bash # with ubuntu as the default user This happens when your start the container from an image committed by a container with ubuntu as the default user. Or in detail: Run a container from some basic images, create ubuntu user inside it, commit the container to CUSTOM_IMAGE:1 . Run a container from CUSTOM_IMAGE:1 with "-u ubuntu" option, and commit the container to CUSTOM...

Install mysql-python with mariadb

mysql-python requires libmysqlclient-dev in ubuntu, but the installation of mariadb will have the lib with unmet dependenccies, so the error of "mysql_config not found" may occurred if you install mysql-python via pip. The case is that mariadb has a compatible package, if you have the ppa setup as in  http://downloads.mariadb.org/ . Just "sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev".
