Setting Gmail As The Preferred Mail Reader In Gnome

A Google search turns up lots of dead ends. Some are pretty good, but most are completely useless. I tried a couple of the configuration variations suggested in the article and its comments and didn’t have much luck.

It turns out that it’s actually easy. Just follow these simple steps:

Download Gnome Gmail
Install it! I used the .deb because I run Ubuntu.
Go to System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications
Select Gmail in the Mail Reader drop down

Getting Branch Coverage In Nose

Just a few days ago Ned Batchelder announced experimental branch coverage support in coverage.py. I have been waiting a long time for this. I had a few false starts myself so I know how much time Ned put into it. Thanks Ned!

I changed the coverage plugin included with nose to interact better with coverage.py.

I added a --cover-branches option to make coverage.py generate branch coverage statistics.
I changed the existing --cover-html option to use coverage.py’s built-in HTML report generator. Why have old, outdated logic hanging around?
