GSOC Update - Week 1

Hi,

This week we tried using the python built-in tool to  pickle the state of various layouts.However most of the qtile classes are not pickelable, because of some recursive links.We therefore had to make some changes to the classes to make them pickelabe.Instead of doing a major redesign of qtile code architecture , we decided to implement the __getstate__() and __setstate__() functions for the classes with problems.This was implemented for almost all layouts and seems to be working fine for them.However some layouts are still not working.

This is all for this week.

Cheers,

Yay GSOC !!

Hi

I am Aniruddh and I am doing GSOC under the sub-org Qtile.
I would firstly like to thank my mentors for having faith in me and choosing me for this programme.

My project is improving serialization of Qtile. During the community bonding period I began talks with my mentor as to which approach will be the most suitable. Apart from that nothing else to report as of now.

Cheers,
