treehouses / control Goto Github PK

Currently, when there is an error on CLI, the output says: Error when trying to run the command...

• Would be better if we could get the error message instead of the command name.

idea: treehouses/cli#1130

but through config treehouses config file

Pro:

Easier for remote to read multiple-line outputs

Con:

• Migration from old to new

Will update this box later.

use pylint, etc.

need password protected bluetooth server

Or even multi thread. Or some other solutions to handle treehouses Remote's multi threaded message sender. EDIT:

tried this out. Works really good. Gonna attempt to refactor this into our code.

Python is fine and dandy and all for readability/high level. But it's pretty darn slow. I know Raspian comes with it. Pypy would be better because of a JIT compiler. Maybe the .pyc file should be included in the repo as well.

What language to write to? Probably Java or shell or C/C++. Anything that is faster.
I guess python is good for new programmers. I wonder if Pypy package is out there somewhere we could throw in the treehouses image.

EDIT: After reconsidering python after many years. It can't be ruled out on popularity and a new compiler or something could come out for it to make it catch up with execution speed. The treehouse project virtual interns and raspberry pi in general and scientific computing really use python a ton so its good unless there is a huge conglomerate program / gui then i would port that to something else.

so we can use real multithread
probably will never need but make issue anyway.
Or change the python to implement real multi.

we should have a method to make sure that our remote and bluetooth server are the exact same version.
I would hash the server file and run a command from the remote to request the hash from the server, if the server mismatches the remote version, the remote will send the bluetooth server file onto the pi. This ensures that it will work even without an internet connection.

without python GIL

what is dependencies of this app

The server could reply true or false if connected or not.
Also reply the SSID, and even the IP address.
If there is more info that would be useful for the technicians in the field that isn't listed above feel free to add.
