How to publish Python apps for human beings

So, you've created a Python app (be it a graphical user interface with Qt or the like, or a simple command line interface). Great! But how are others going to use it? Python applications often have dependencies (e.g. from third-party modules), and they also need a Python interpreter to run them. For a developer, installing all the necessary bits and bobs to make things work is okay, but that's unacceptable for a normal user - they just want to download the thing and run it.

Below are simple instructions to publish your app on the three main operating systems: Windows, macOS and Linux.

Note: these are pretty rough notes I made for my team on the fly as I was reading through some pages. Some could be mildly inaccurate but hopefully not terribly so. I might resort to convenient fiction & simplification sometimes.

My top contenders, mostly based on popularity / community etc:

• Angular
• Backbone
• React
• Ember

Mostly about MVC (or derivatives, MVP / MVVM).

Testable JavaScript Resources

Testing JavaScript isn't just a thing you can read about in children's fairy tales.

This is just a scratch pad of everything I find. As the really good resources start to float to the top, I'll transition them to a more permanent GitHub repo.

General

• Test-Driven JavaScript Development [book]
• JavaScript Testing Recipes [book]

Crawling Anonymously with Tor in Python

adapted from the article "Crawling anonymously with Tor in Python" by S. Acharya, Nov 2, 2013.

The most common use-case is to be able to hide one's identity using TOR or being able to change identities programmatically, for example when you are crawling a website like Google and you don’t want to be rate-limited or blocked via IP address.

Tor

Install Tor.
