Learning a new way to release and package python source code


This article is one part of learning notebook after I read the youtube-dl's source code, I learned a lot of knowledge from this software, I guess the most interesting part is found two porn website inside it, haha.

The anther interesting thing, I learned from its source code, is a python packaging technology. It is a new way to release or publish python software. Before I learned this way, I always use the following two methods to publish python software.


  • Just release the raw source code.
  • Use the package management tools like setuptools or distutils


But, youtube-dl release itself in a standalone executable single file. So I read its build script, it zipped all its source code into a package and it is its way to make an executable file. I guess python interpreter has the capacity of interpreting source code from the zip file.

As usual, I wrote some sample code to illustrate how this way works, and you can browser sample code from the following site.

Bluedroid stack in android

Bluedroid stack in android Table of Contents Bluetooth stack in android Bluedroid .VS. Bluez Porting guide of Bluedroid stack 1 Bluetooth stack in android From Android 4.2, google use Bluedroid stack as its default Bluetooth host stack, before android 4.2, its default Bluetooth host stack was Bluez, which is also the Linux distribution's default stack. So why google changed its Bluetooth stack? The reason is maybe that Bluez stack was designed for the desktop environment, so in order to port Bluez into android, android must solve some dependency issues, like porting Dbus, Linux desktop's default IPC, into android. So there are at least five processes to power Bluetooth before android 4.2, they are systems, Bluetooth APP, Bluez, hciattach, and Dbus. The damn thing is that there are bugs between them, so Bluetooth stack is the weakest part in the android system before android 4.2, yeah, it is the usual reason that android system corrupted. So, what's t

How to setup an NAT server? Table of Contents What is NAT? How to setup NAT host? a shell script from vbird's book 1 What is NAT? NAT stands for Network Address Transition, which is the basic function of gateway host. I try to hack Bluetooth tethering module in android this week, it include the Bluetooth Pan profile and the NAT setup process, which means in order to implement the Bluetooth tethering, first, two devices must be connected by Bluetooth Pan profile, and then the server part device acted as gateway host to supply the network forward service. In other words, after Bluetooth Pan profile connected, the server must to setup its NAT rules to forward the IP packages. So how to setup NAT rules? 2 How to setup NAT host? My memory is still fresh that at the start of my Linux journey, I setup my Linux desktop as an NAT host to provide Internet services for my lab's classmates. During the days as a programmer, I once did a job to hacking android&

Network programming in elisp

  Network API in elisp Table of Contents 1 Introduction 2 A example 3 Http server implemented by elisp 1 Introduction Emacs is not just an editor, Yes, that's true. Emacs lisp can do network connection programming by its network API. But there is something difference with other kinds of programming language. First, elisp do not support multi-thread, pretty cool, huh!! Yeh, Multi-threads programming is a horrible venture for you, right! Second, There is no socket similarly conception in elisp, and elisp provide network programming ability as processes. Elisp can open a network connection by function – open-network-stream .  It can make network connection server listen a special port by function - make-network-process . Both of those function return a process object. Then you can communicate with the process by process's API. 2 A example I write a snippet code to figure out How to use it. ( require ' cl ) ( defvar my-network-client-b
