09:53 <guso78k> hmm ...

09:53 <teepee> oh, you directly tried that nettle thing. any issues?

09:54 <teepee> when I said that I did at least check it's in MXE, homebrew and debian, so it seems to be widely available enough

09:56 <teepee> we do need to update the MXE images though to make it available for the windows builds, but that would not be a big deal

09:56 <teepee> (well, I hope :-)

09:57 <guso78k> there was not sample code to create an SHA256 string but the functions were easy enough to assemble. nettle is more c than c++ style though.

09:58 <guso78k> (+base64) string

10:00 <teepee> for the minimal use case that's maybe even easier than

10:00 <teepee> c++

10:02 <teepee> I'll have a look later, first going to drive over to the office, so afk for a while

12:43 <guso78k> teepee, docstrings in python only work well for functions, but not for variables

12:43 <teepee> yes, that's what the stackoverflow article said

12:44 <teepee> it's not fully supported natively, but many tools still accept it by just looking at docstrings directly after variables

12:44 <teepee> the article I linked even had some code snippet to grab that info IIRC

12:45 <guso78k> https://bpa.st/ASLQ

12:45 <guso78k> its not supported by my local python as excected

12:46 <guso78k> it rather yields some  general hints

12:47 <teepee> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8820276/docstring-for-variable

12:48 <teepee> search for GetVarDocs

15:08 <guso78k> the code above parses its sourcefile to rather than using __doc__ attribute to get docstrings on variables. Unless docstrings of variables  are natively supported in python I doubt this is any better than my actual #* <META-DATA> *#  syntax

15:08 <teepee> code wise no

15:08 <teepee> but more aligned with what other tools do

16:20 <Guest29> Hello Everyone, I am having a problem with OpenSCAD. The menu where I insert all of the code is no longer on the side of my screen and is now at the top. it is making it very inconvenient to read and write code. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and renaming the file in hopes of fixing the problem. I am on a Windows computer

16:20 <Guest29> and need help.

16:21 <InPhase> Guest29: You can just drag these components around.

16:21 <InPhase> They are all dockable and movable, you just have to find the place to click and drag it.

16:22 <InPhase> The config file saves your "choices". So you probably accidentally dragged it once.

16:22 <Guest29> That was hilariously simple thank you so much.

16:22 <InPhase> You can of course always also choose to delete your config file to get the defaults back, but in case you have other settings, it's easier to try to fix it by dragging. :)

16:23 <InPhase> Every once in a while though the layout config will get horribly screwed up by a cat operating the computer or something.

16:23 <Guest29> Thank you so much for your help

16:23 <InPhase> :)
