The Python Imaging Library — Pillow 1.7.7 documentation

With vkQuake on macOS (qbj3 and id1 in /Applications), I get "HOST_ERROR: Model progs/v_axe2.mdl not found"... their docs say if it's not ironwail then "expect issues". :-\

I used QNX in the 2000s at NIH to run experiments! We eventually replaced it with Linux and Windows and dedicated "experiment" hardware to handle the "real time" needs.

Was it not clear from the story that she was able to review the code? It's GitHub… is this any better?

    Mary is naturally skeptical at first. The "old" Mary would never have 
    considered 
    performing a release without testing it on her laptop first! However, since 
    her 
    code has 100% test coverage and Josh is a reliable community member and she 
    can 
    ensure that the tests have passed and she is able to review the code sanity 
    and 
    security online via GitHub, she happily agrees to perform the release.

Surely there must be more "cool stuff" to do? Also, how satisfying is helping others achieve their goals, and how much does it motivate you? Trying to "top" yourself doesn't sound right, but trying to find the things that match #1, 2, 3 sounds more like it.

Done, thanks! Twitter bootstrap is awesome. I don't even care that it looks like all the other bootstrap sites. (Same thing happened with Plone 10 years ago.)

Thanks for the feedback! It's true: the downloads number is, by itself, fairly meaningless (as I try to touch on here: http://pythonpackages.com/about). But I like the tongue-in-cheek aspect of it e.g. "My package has been downloaded X times!" The site started off being called "vanity" for this reason.

As for djangopackages.com stats (now called django.opencomparison.org), I plan to integrate with it via their API. So I'm sure I'll be able to display the number of "I use this" and other useful stats.
