Download the latest firmware update from Behringer site -> Support -> Download and Drivers section. Just load the downloaded firmware in SysEx Librarian and you will see the file starting to be uploaded on the BCR unit. No need for Midi interface, just with the usb default cable. Also no need for booting in LOAD mode. Hope it helps. If you are on Mac is more simplistic. Download SysEx Librarian from http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/  (free software) and run on Mac.

Oops, that was a badly sanitized example, but the problem remains that I can’t open a module inside an egg, because the path it returns doesn’t exist in the filesystem.


mbp-luke:~ luke$ export EDITOR=`which vim`
mbp-luke:~ luke$ pysource genshi.template.base
Opens a blank vim editor saying:
"/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/Genshi-0.6-py2.6.egg/genshi/template/base.py" [New DIRECTORY]

or…


mbp-luke:~ luke$ export EDITOR=`which cat`
mbp-luke:~ luke$ pysource genshi.template.base
cat: /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/Genshi-0.6-py2.6.egg/genshi/template/base.py: Not a directory

It's in many ways elegant, but as with anything there are trade-offs.

I tried most IDEs to work on Python web app projects. In the end I didn't see too much value in them and moved on to Kate. Things were ok for some time but recently I decided to jump into vim, something I thought I would never do, and I'm liking it so far. I don't have much of a save-run cycle, I usually just save a file and alt-tab into Firefox to see the changes. I wonder how your experiment with PyDev went.

It's great you could tweak it to emmit the SQL you wanted. But I wonder if sometimes it wouldn't be cleaner to just write the SELECT statement itself and get done with it... :) SQLAlchemy is really well designed and I consider it one of the best ORMs around for any platform.
