15:21:31 <springmeyer> hey haoyu :) you must be the author on the boost py3k support? very cool.
15:22:00 <springmeyer> no, I've not had any troubles - really not started/tried porting yet
15:22:51 <springmeyer> I raised the idea of a student working on it: http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/GSOC2010/Ideas
15:23:20 <springmeyer> haoyu: maybe from your perspective that would be too easy?(too small of a project)
15:34:28 *** ultrus (~chris@72.19.161.79) has joined #mapnik
15:35:01 <haoyu> springmeyer, yeah I just found it from the idea page
15:35:22 <springmeyer> ah, nice
15:35:48 <springmeyer> haoyu: thanks for your contributions to boost python
15:36:10 <haoyu> springmeyer, i think if there's no code in your binding talk to Python API directly. then the work could be easy
15:36:50 <haoyu> there should be some work on the building system - you may need one target for Python 2.x, and one for 3.x
15:38:59 <haoyu> anyway, I'd love to see my work can really benefit the users of boost.python :)
15:40:13 <springmeyer> haoyu: right, we just talk to python through boost python AFAIK
15:40:39 <springmeyer> various instances of stuff like PyString_AsString, etc we'd need to change out though
15:40:51 <springmeyer> http://trac.mapnik.org/browser/trunk/bindings/python/mapnik_feature.cpp would be an example
15:41:09 <springmeyer> haoyu: yes, a build system that worked with both would be slick
15:44:22 <haoyu> I see, there's some code dealing with PyUnicode and PyString, which is a major change of py3k
15:46:25 <springmeyer> yes. we are also using ICU library so conversion will need attention there
15:51:41 <ultrus> springmeyer: regarding odd tile issue yesterday: I'm now generating tiles like a pro (or a pro-sumer at least). I dropped generate_tiles.py and replaced it with tilecache. thanks for your feedback.
15:52:19 <springmeyer> ultrus: sounds good!
16:03:20 <ultrus> springmeyer: I see that you are the tileLite man. would this be an alternative to tilecache?
16:03:47 <springmeyer> yes, but only for EPSG:900913
16:03:56 <ultrus> ah. cool
16:06:07 <springmeyer> ultrus: but support for EPSG:4326 is in the cards
16:07:38 <ultrus> both sound great to me. I had troubles using EPSG:900913 yesterday. After editing the epsg file for proj, setting my paths, etc., rendering in that mode was causing lots of errors and icky looking fuzzy lines. Probably just from my inexperience.
16:08:55 <ultrus> can't wait to start playing with real data though. much potential use for it at my office.
16:09:56 <ultrus> I'm out. Have a good one all.

16:35:07 <XoniX> Is there an editor to edit and view style ?
16:36:48 *** mperry (~mperry@c-67-164-175-65.hsd1.co.comcast.net) has joined #mapnik
16:42:58 <dkb> Xonix: I believe the closest thing to that is to install QGIS ( http://www.qgis.org/ ) and springmeyer's Mapnik plugin for it called Quantumnik ( http://bitbucket.org/springmeyer/quantumnik/wiki/Home )
16:44:48 <dkb> That would allow you to edit the style file and see the results of the change near real-time in QGIS
16:45:24 <dkb> You still need to edit the style with with text editor though as far as I know.

23:11:39 <rweait2> springmeyer !  Leaving?!?!?! off line?!?!?!?  Isn't this a little sudden?  I thought we meant something to you?
23:16:17 <springmeyer> rweait2: I plan to disappear and return as springmeyer2 :)
23:16:50 * rweait2 must have a little 'chat' with this router....
23:16:59 <rweait2> Have a great time.
23:17:06 <rweait2> vacation, I hope?
23:17:34 <rweait2> What I've seen of Montana is beautiful.
23:17:38 <springmeyer> yes!
23:17:52 <springmeyer> my wife has spring break from school
23:18:12 <springmeyer> so we're headed to visit old college friends who live in a yurt in the hills outside bozeman
23:18:58 <rweait2> Fantastic.
23:19:10 <springmeyer> ya, never been to montana before
23:19:23 <springmeyer> only about a 12 hour drive from seattle I hear
23:19:31 <springmeyer> .startrss
23:19:31 <nikq> Okay, I'll start rss fetching...

23:53:41 <springmeyer> if so, would be great if you could install Mapnik 0.7.1 from installer and let me know if anything goes wrong:
