Ah, I didn’t think about this. Thanks for the explanation!

I like the problem solving description, I actually went through a similar learning process leading to bitset recently. It was very satisfying!

However, I just have to ask a question: What is the reason you didn’t just use UUID?

Since you have all your shutil.copytrees and sys.path manipulation at the top level of the test modules, they are executed the moment those modules are imported. unittest likely imports all discovered test modules before actually executing the tests so the set up of both modules is executed in random order before the tests are run. The correct way to perform test setup is using setUp and setUpClass methods of unittest.TestCase. Their counterparts tearDown and tearDownClass are used to clean up after tests. You probably will be able to get this to work somehow using those methods.

However, I’m fairly certain that this entire question is an example of the XY problem and you should be approaching this whole thing differently. Copying the modules and their mock dependencies into a temporary directory and manipulating sys.path seems like an absolute nightmare and it will be a massive PITA even if you get it to a working state. I don’t know what problem exactly you’re trying to solve but I think you should really read up on unittest.mock and even more importantly on dependency injection.

Of course, but when indentation has a syntactic meaning the formatter often won’t be able to fix it.

It’s probably more prone to mistakes like that, true. But in practice I really never witnessed this actually being a problem. Especially with tests and review.

Yeah, that’s definitely a good point. But it’s a minor thing. Adjusting indentation takes 2 keystrokes in vim, I barely notice it.

So I’m going to say what I always say when people complain about semantic whitespace: Your code should be properly indented anyway. If it’s not, it’s a bad code.

I’m not saying semantic whitespace is superior to brackets or parentheses. It’s clearly not. But it’s not terrible either.

As someone who codes in Python pretty much everyday for years, I NEVER see indentation errors. I didn’t see them back when I started either. Code without indentation is impossible to read for me anyway so it makes zero difference whether the whitespace has semantic meaning or not. It will be there either way.

I’m so excited for Cosmic!

E2E is their flagship feature and pretty much only selling point. I’m really not surprised they don’t allow to just disable it.

Huge thanks to Vaxry and all contributors, Hyprland is great!

Man, I’m just chilling and relaxing after a week of SE work and this resonates with me very deeply

I didn’t expect this to be something I would actually use but I was mildly excited to try it out just out of curiosity. Then it asked me to log in. Login to a fucking terminal emulator. I have no words.

I’m very excited for COSMIC!

Thanks!

To be honest I really like the aesthetics of keycaps without labels and I will probably change to those eventually. However, I wanted to play it safe for now considering the fact that it’s my first time with a keyboard like this.

It will definitely be 99% stationary but I think I will need to figure out a way to safely travel with it a few times a year since typing on a laptop keyboard feels like a torture now…

Good job Cosmic team!

I really hope Cosmic can be the first DE to close the gap between tilling window managers and DEs we have today. Very excited for it!

I’m not sure about the exact percentage but I don’t think it’s necessarily that far off. I spend a lot of time reviewing code, designing, documenting, reading documentation. Actually writing code is a cherry on top.

I would actually say it’s VERY complicated but in daily work you probably need like 5 commands and those aren’t hard at all.

It doesn’t. I would really like that too…

I see that Framework and System76 were already mentioned. I would add Slimbook and Tuxedo Computers to the list.

I was just in a market for a Linux laptop and I really wanted a Framework but it’s not available in my country so I settled on Slimbook Executive 14 instead. I have it for around a month now and I’m very satisfied.

Off topic but I’m surprised by the amount of smart tv hate in this thread.

I have a Philips TV with Android TV. I use it for YouTube, Twitch, Spotify and occasionally for other streaming services. I actually really like the experience. Everything is a few clicks on a remote away, the UI is clean, it works reasonably fast.

I’m not going to argue about privacy though, that’s definitely terrible.
