In this article I present a present a reimplementation in pure Python of Joseph O'Rourke's incremental 3D convex hull algorithm from his book Computational Geometry in C.

In this atricle we show a simple implementation of theMarching Tetrahedrons algorithm in Python.

I implemented a jQueryMobile plugin to enhance a <select> element with a clickable image map. A full article with examples is available on on my site

Web applications often transfer sensitive data between client and server. Even a session id is not something that should be vulnerable to eavesdropping. It is therefore a very good idea to encrypt all communication and implement a HTTPS server.

When managing sessions in web applications the key to the castle is a sessionid. Most often this sessionid is passed to and from the client by means of a cookie. In this article we explore the tools available in Python to deal with cookies.

While playing around with jQuery Mobile and wondering about the support for the new HTML5 input types I realized there wasn't an address extension that was just as easy to use a date picker was for dates. So I wrote an address plug-in.

I started developing and writing about a new Python web application framework in Python to aid people in understanding concepts in web application development.

If we use annotations to sanitize incoming data easy access to regular expressions is a must. In this article I'll show how to make the most of Python's bundles functools module to dynamically generate functions that match regular expressions while reducing the overhead of compiling regular expressions as much as possible

When we decorate a Python function we must take some care to ensure that the decorated function can present itself in the same way as before its decoration. Let's explore what is needed.

In an ongoing project to implement a web application server that is as simple as possible we now implement handling POST requests

Windows 7 gadgets are small applications that are integrated in the Windows desktop. These gadgets are basically webpages displayed in a browser environment that hardly differs from a regular environment. It is therefore entirely possible to turn a gadget into a web application that retrieves data from a remote server with AJAX. In this article we explore some of the possibilities and see how we may use jQuery inside a gadget.

A friend of mine became suddenly aware that her Nikon D80 camera had developed a so called stuck or hot pixel. Repairing a CCD chip in a camera is quite costly and what is more, looking back through the old photos she discovered the defect had been present for over a year. In this article we develop a tiny Python program that masks out a pixel in pretty much the same way that the built-in firmware in de camera does this for pixels that were hot or dead when the camera was constructed.

In a previous article I illustrated how we could put Python's function annotations to good use to provide use with a syntactically elegant way to describe which kind of parameter content would be acceptable to our simple web application framework. In this article the actual implementation is presented along with some notes on its usage.
