Fedora 30 : The Pythonic tool.

The tutorial for today is about Pythonic tool.
Named Pythonic is a graphical programming tool that makes it easy for users to create Python applications using ready-made function modules.
This tool providing the consistent features and characteristics of a trading bot with just a few clicks.
The Pythonic tool is currently available in four languages: English, German, Spanish, and Chinese. 
The tool comes with basic functions such as a scheduler, if-branches, connectivity, and logging functions are available out of the box and can be parameterized using a corresponding GUI.
Each graphical element is functionally processed individually.
The base idea is: A unique graphical input mask to carry out the parameterization necessary for processing, then after a process completes successfully, the returned result can be transferred to a subsequent process for further use.
You can use server processes can be placed in parallel in the background as listener applications that wait for external events and initiate the creation of a process when the event arrives.
Pythonic's data type list makes it easy to utilize different access techniques (push, pop, insert, append).
The install of this tool is easy on Fedora 30 distro:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ python3.7 -m pip install Pythonic --user
Collecting Pythonic
...
Successfully installed PyQt5-5.8.2 Pythonic-0.12 pandas-0.24.2 pythonic-binance-0.7.2

Fedora 30 : Commands and tools that handle assembly files - part 002.

Another good approach to this topic is this Fedora tool.
The development team tells us: GNUSim8085 is a graphical simulator, assembler and debugger for the Intel 8085 microprocessor in Linux and Windows.

  • A simple editor component with syntax highlighting.
  • A keypad to input assembly language instructions with appropriate arguments.
  • Easy view of register contents.
  • Easy view of flag contents.
  • Hexadecimal - Decimal converter.
  • View of stack, memory and I/O contents.
  • Support for breakpoints for program debugging.
  • Stepwise program execution.
  • One click conversion of assembly program to opcode listing.
  • Printing support.
  • UI translated in various languages.
Let's install this fedora package:
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install gnusim8085.x86_64
...
Installed:
  gnusim8085-1.3.7-19.fc30.x86_64         electronics-menu-1.0-21.fc30.noarch   
  gtksourceview2-2.11.2-27.fc29.x86_64   

Complete!
Now you can run it with this command:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ gnusim8085
The GUI interface is simple to understand and easy to use for a developer.
The Intel 8085 has seven internal general-purpose 8-bit registers A, B, C, D, E, H, L, and 5 flags — S (sign), Z (zero), AC (Aux Carry), P (Parity) and CY (Carry).
The processor has a total of 246 instructions with which we can manipulate data in the processor registers and memory.
The assembler Intel 8085 mnemonics with the instruction strings, labels define with a named point in the code, the target for JMP or CALL instructions, comments start line with a semicolon ‘;’ is ignored by the assembler and pseudo codes to the assembler that provides some features to the coding process.
For another development assembly tools for hardware, you can find more info on this wiki page.

Fedora 30 : Application packages with snap tool.

Snaps are application packages for desktop, cloud, and IoT that are easy to install, secure, cross-platform and dependency-free, see here.
The install of this tool with the dnf install tool is simple:
[root@desk snap]# dnf install snap
...
Installed:
  snap-0.6-13.fc29.noarch          python2-crypto-2.6.1-25.fc30.x86_64         
Complete!
Let's make the settings for this tool:
[mythcat@desk snap]$ sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
[mythcat@desk snap]$ snap install snapcraft --classic
snapcraft 3.5 from Canonical✓ installed

[mythcat@desk ~]$ snap help
The snap command lets you install, configure, refresh and remove snaps.
Snaps are packages that work across many different Linux distributions,
enabling secure delivery and operation of the latest apps and utilities.

Usage: snap  [...]

Commands can be classified as follows:

         Basics: find, info, install, list, remove
        ...more: refresh, revert, switch, disable, enable
        History: changes, tasks, abort, watch
        Daemons: services, start, stop, restart, logs
       Commands: alias, aliases, unalias, prefer
  Configuration: get, set, wait
        Account: login, logout, whoami
    Permissions: connections, interfaces, interface, connect, disconnect
      Snapshots: saved, save, check-snapshot, restore, forget
          Other: version, warnings, okay, ack, known
    Development: run, pack, try, download, prepare-image

For more information about a command, run 'snap help '.
For a short summary of all commands, run 'snap help --all'.
[mythcat@desk ~]$ snap refresh
All snaps up to date.  
Now we can install an application and run it.
Let's try with the vlc application:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ snap install vlc
vlc 3.0.6 from VideoLAN✓ installed
[mythcat@desk ~]$ snap run  vlc
VLC media player 3.0.6 Vetinari (revision 3.0.6-0-g5803e85)
[00000000019ca3d0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
[0000000001a5fae0] main playlist: playlist is empty
QObject::~QObject: Timers cannot be stopped from another thread
Not all application will run on Fedora 30.
For example, I try with the qalculate application and not work:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ sudo snap install qalculate
[sudo] password for mythcat: 
snap "qalculate" is already installed, see 'snap help refresh'
When I try to run it the error was the qalculate application cannot be found.

Kite watches your workspace to be notified when python files change on disk. This allows us to
provide the latest information & completions from your coding environment. However, for larger
workspaces, Kite can exceed the default limits on inotify watches, which can result in a degraded experience. 

We can fix this by placing a file in /etc/sysctl.d/ to increase this limit.

About this software named Poedit (formerly poEdit) shareware and cross-platform gettext catalog editor to aid in the process of language localization.
Poedit is a powerful and intuitive editor for translating interfaces that use gettext.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
What is a PO file?
The .PO file is a portable object file, which is text-based. These types of files are used in common in software development. The .PO file may be referenced by Java programs, GNU gettext, or other software programs as a properties file.
What is MO file?
The .MO files or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program.
It is typically used to translate program code and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program.

These files can be provided by developer source code or you can sign in into the Crowdin.
This provides powerful tools to manage localization for projects of any type and any size.
Open the application and put all info on from File-> Preferences.
The Poedit asks some of the essential information such as your name, email address, translation memory settings, and more to change your preferences.
Set the path (absolute path) settings in your Catalog otherwise, the Poedit isn't able to use gettext from source files.
Before starting your translate issue be advice with the rules are set by GNU gettext utilities
