To avoid the Out of memory error when trying to copy the su-executable to /system/bin, you need to start the emulator manually with a large –partion-size argument:
$ emulator -avd MYNAME -partition-size 300
Then:
$ adb remount
$ adb push ~/Desktop/rootfiles/su /system/bin/su
$ adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

I just want to store my time values in UTC, and render them in Europe/Berlin for display, as supposedly one should, and Django, in 2011 and with 1.4 looming, still does not support this (although things may be happening).
I’ve found that the simplest way to deal with this is to use a filter which can convert from UTC to the TIME_ZONE setting, and can be placed before any of Django’s time, timesince, nativetime etc. filters one may want to use.
That still leaves you with a lack of timezone support in the admin, or when using model fields in general, but if you don’t care about those, this is the quickest way to make it work.
You’ll find a bunch of different approaches to this on Google; Using an iPython boot script that extends sys.path with paths from the current virtualenv. Or calling the iPython script with the virtualenv’s python binary (python `which ipython`).
They all tend to be problematic; for example, the latter doesn’t work if the virtualenv has been configured with –no-site-packages.
Why not simply install iPython inside the virtualenv proper? This is what I’ve been doing for a while, reluctantly, and I’m finally aware of what has bothered me about it: iPython clocks in at an insane 8.3 megabyte (the uncompressed size is 18 MB, about 15 of which is documentation). On my slow DSL connection the download takes a good minute.
Using virtualenvwrapper, I’ve now added this to my postmkvirtualenv script:
CACHE=$WORKON_HOME/.cache
mkdir -p "$CACHE"
$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/pip install --download-cache="$CACHE" ipython
This gives me iPython in every new virtual environment, at the cost of 2 or 3 seconds installation time.
PyGObject and the Python appindicator module don’t agree with each other. As soon as I import “appindicator”, all objects from the gi.repository.Gtk namespaces seem to reset to what might be PyGTK, not sure. However, with gir1.2-appindicator-0.1 (on Natty) installed , you can do:
from gi.repository import AppIndicator
ind = AppIndicator.Indicator.new(
"send-to-kindle",
"indicator-messages",
AppIndicator.IndicatorCategory.APPLICATION_STATUS)
self.menu = Gtk.Menu()
item = Gtk.MenuItem()
item.set_label("Menu Item")
item.show()
self.menu.append(item)
self.menu.show()
ind.set_menu(self.menu)
Note that there is a gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 package in Natty, which provides a AppIndicator3 object, which seems to be the GTK3 version, and pulls a bunch of GTK dependencies. After installing it on Natty, I was seemingly unable to work with GTK2 in PyGObject, so be careful (uninstalling the GTK3 packages fixed it). Jockey (the “Additional Drivers” tool) is using AppIndicator3, and from looking at the source, AppIndicator3 works without attaching a menu to it. Apparently Canonical still gets some things right.
Most of the scripts out there seem to be broken (like gookup). So I’ve written one that works:

It uses Matt Behrens libgreader library for the hard part.
