I'm running into this little problem that I hope is just a dumb user error. It looks like some sort of a size limit with a query to a SQLite database. I managed to reproduce the issue with an in-memory DB and a simple script shown below. I can make it work by either reducing the number of records in the DB; or by reducing the size of eac...

I'm trying to find a good and simple method to signal child processes (created through SocketServer with ForkingMixIn) from the parent process. While Unix signals could be used, I want to avoid them since only children who are interested should receive the signal, and it would be overkill and complicated to require some kind of registra...
I'm hoping to integrate Mercurial into my Rails site. I want to run basic commands like status, summary, log, and maybe even clone. I'd like to interface directly with the Mercurial libraries and avoid doing any command line parsing via regex. Mercurial is written in Python; I am using Ruby. So, I need Mercurial Ruby bindings. It seems,...
