I'm thinking about writing a series of blog posts about my experience with Python and Gtk programming. For this post I'm going to get started by telling you how to set up a basic virtual environment for project development.
Okay, so if you don't already have a Projects directory, then you should create one in your Home folder. The path should look like this;
Code:
/home/your_username/Projects/
Next, you should open a terminal and navigate to that folder, and enter this command;
At least in Ubuntu wily, it doesn't seem to allow you to chose the default application to open a file type. You try to do it, but it "magically" restores the previous default association before your eyes. Even if you chanced the config file, somehow. (I'm assuming it's mimeapps.lst, but I'm not sure. It seems that it's cool nowadays to have cryptic, hidden config files, avoiding to mention them unless strictly necessary, pretending it's all magic and config files don't exist)

So, a little about me. Until a few years back, I was a big computer nerd. I still use Linux exclusively, but I used to spend every spare waking hour (that I wasn't working my day job which was typically 12-16 hours a day) just killing time. I know UNIX and Linux, but never really delved too deep.
Enter the big D word, which I blamed on my time wasting in front a computer. Where did my life go? I hit 35 years old, and 'd' set in big time. Not where I wanted...
