Things look quiet here. But I've been doing a lot of blogging at
dan.langille.org because I prefer WordPress now.
Not all my posts there are FreeBSD related.
I am in the midst of migrating The FreeBSD Diary over to WordPress
(and you can read about that here).
Once the migration is completed, I'll move the FreeBSD posts into the
new FreeBSD Diary website.

python - needed for fetchmail *

Python is a programming language which has come a long
way in a relatively short time. My main interest is the interface to the
PostgreSQL database. I use Perl
as part of several websites (including this one, FreshPorts and
FreshSource). I am now investigating Python to see how I can use
it in similar areas.

Installing Python
|
|
As always, I am using the ports tree to install.
cd /usr/ports/lang/python
make install
|
|
|
Hello world!
|
|
In keeping with tradition, here my first simple python program:
#! /usr/bin/env python
print "Hello world!"
Running that first program is pretty simple:
$ python pg-python
Hello world!
$
What could be easier?!
