I look a bit painful to do this at first, but here is a very simple solution.

1. Install brew
2. run ‘brew instal PIL’
3. Brew install PIL at /usr/local/Cellar/pil/1.1.7/lib/python2.6/site-packages
4. Symlink the PIL site-packages to your Python site-packages in /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages
   

   ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/pil/1.1.7/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PIL /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PIL

sudo aptitude install python-wxtools

sudo easy_install runsnakerun

sudo aptitude install python-profiler

(If you are using Debian check this out : http://www.cherrypy.org/wiki/ProfilingOnDebian
)

run with:

python -m cProfile -o barbazzr.profile barbazzr.py

Check out the output with:
runsnake name.profilepython -m cProfile -o barbazzr.profile barbazzr.py

Are you updating an old Django  project to use Django 1.2, and getting this error message when you try to login to the Django admin page?

403 Forbidden

CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.
Help

Reason given for failure:

CSRF cookie not set.

Then you need to add  ‘django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware’, and  ‘django.middleware.csrf.CsrfResponseMiddleware’ your settings.py file. Mine looks like this:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
‘django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware’,
‘django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware’,
‘django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware’,
‘django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware’,
‘django.middleware.csrf.CsrfResponseMiddleware’,
)

Thanks to the Django docs http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/csrf/#how-to-use-it

The builtin inspect module makes it easy to find out information about the modules you are loading. Just ‘import inspect’ and use inspect.getfile
