In the “why can’t anything be easy” department, I’ve started work to convert the PyObjC repository from Mercurial to Git due to Bitbucket’s pending removal of Mercurial support. Git’s documentation contains a nice overview of how to do this, but sadly enough that doesn’t work for me.

The root cause is corruption in old data in the Mercurial repository, I guess converting from CVS to Subversion to Mercurial is catching up with me :-(.

I now have a script that appears to fix the Mercurial repository does the conversion, but its output needs a lot more testing to make sure that the Git repository is actually a faitfull reproduction of the history.

Nice lighting on the clouds, with light from a sunset to my back.

Haven’t had to use my printer in ages, and obviously the ink has run out now that I need to print something…

The new 16” macbook pro looks pretty interesting, and apparently has a decent keyboard. The only minor nit w.r.t. specs is that it does not support WiFi 6.

I’ve uploaded PyObjC 6.1 to PyPI. This adds support for API changes in macOS 10.15.1 and fixes a number of issues.

I’ve uploaded PyObjC 6.0.1 to PyPI. This fixes a number of debug prints left in the 6.0 release.

Archive Utility uses an insane amount of memory extracting the Xcode beta.
