Although most of Python enterprise applications still use Python 2 (e.g. Python 2.4 on RHEL 5 or Python 2.6 on RHEL 6), Python 3 has already become a mature variant and is worth considering. Why, you ask? Python 3 series is being actively developed by upstream, while Python 2 now only gets security fixes and bug fixes. Python 2.7 is the latest minor release of the 2.X series and there will be no Python 2.8. This is very important since...

For RHEL6 and newer distributions tools are available to profile Python code and to generate dynamic call graphs of a program's execution. Flat profiles can be obtained with the cProfile module and dynamic callgraphs can be obtained with pycallgraph. The cProfile Python module records information about each of the python methods run. For older versions of Python that do not include the cProfile module you can use the higher overhead profile module. Profiling is fairly simple with the cProfile module...

I decided to switch to the RHEL 7 Beta on my work laptop. As a result, I thought I would outline my experience here. First and foremost, my drive is pretty well partitioned with /home and root ("/") separated. I also keep most of my "work" in a separate mount under /mnt/nbu ("nbu" stands for "not backed up" which is not strictly true, it just doesn't use the corporate backup :) and the name stuck). However, I don't want to...

As you probably saw, we announced the availability of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Beta on the 11th of December. Would you like to get more involved in the Beta? Well, we have spun up a special program (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Beta: Partner Early Access Program (hence we normally just call it the "PEAP" :) ) for partners who are interested and excited about working with the Beta and sharing their feedback. We will be staffing a...

With the advent of the Red Hat Software Collections we are now able to bring Node.js to our OpenShift...

Photo by seeweb Countless products uses XML files, whether it is for data persistence, serialization or mere configuration. This is even more true when it comes to the Red Hat middleware portfolio, the JBoss projects having always been keen on using this format for configuration files - on top of the ones specified by JEE such as the famous (or infamous ?) web.xml. While the XML format has some definitive qualities, it is not the easiest format to parse, and...

Introduction Hi, I'm Steve, a member of the Inception team at Red Hat. The Inception team was pulled from different parts of IT to foster DevOps culture in Red Hat. Though we've only been a team for a little over a month, we've been trying to do some early projects to make everyone's lives easier.l We spent quite a bit of time in our early meetings identifying pain points in the current processes. We talked with a few developers, ops...

Whether you're new to developing on RHEL or have been doing it a while, you may get some use from this RHEL Developer Getting Started guide. Think of this as a large "table of contents" for all things developing on RHEL. It walks you through available developer tools and resources, provides a brief description for each, and gives one or more pointers for more information. Download the document here or peruse this file and other resources at developer.redhat.com/RHEL. Let us...

So, yeah, it was in beta testing, but now it's generally available! See the recent Red Hat press release. If you use virtualization in your development (e.g. spinning up VMs for projects), you might find the ability to change proc counts while the guest is running useful. RHEL 6.5 virtualization also adds direct integration with GlusterFS / Red Hat Storage in case you want to play with that in a virtualized test environment. Dynamic storage is definitely getting interesting and...
