download of Python(x,y)-2.7.6.1.exe blocked by Antivirus - pythonxy

today I tried to download Python(x,y)-2.7.6.1.exe (https://code.google.com/p/pythonxy/wiki/Downloads?tm=2), but the download was blocked by my Avast free Antivirus because of a Trojan Horse ("Win32:Dropper-gen [Drp]").
Does anybody else has this problem?

I did a quick search for virus under the project issues, and found there's an open item for this (as well as a merged issue with the exact trojan you're seeing reported); most recent comment from the developer on June 8th:
It seems like a false positive - see:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/761c7bb7e7b12e3a9cd535290d7df704a202cc6b4330a08e1ed3350b74f117e1/analysis/1402239893/
I've submitted a false positive report which hopefully will clear things up.

verifier.pdb is not forund

ALL,
I'm trying to develop my app on Windows 8.1 with MSVC 2017.
I recently updated it (the original install was couple of years old) and now when I try to run it from the IDE I get an error:
verifier.pdb is not loaded.
What is this and why I didn't get it from the original version?
I presume that this verifier.dll is a good thing and will help me with the development in the long run, but right now it prevents me from debugging my application.
Could someone please help.
TIA!!
P.S.: I'm adding application-verifier tag, but I'm not sure that it is related. I apologize in advance if its not.
EDIT:
That question is related but the answer{s} there does NOT explain how to remove the error I'm seeing.
Moreover the linked question does not see the issue I'm having.
So those 2 - mine and the linked one - are NOT duplicates.
Also, I'd appreciate if the question I'm posting is not closed immediately - post the CONSIDERED dup and give me a time to respond.
On top of that the link referenced in one the comment still doesn't work and the updated one does NOT say how to cancel the specific error I'm seeing.
And finally - the lionked question was talking about debugging the application with the RT.
I am starting the application inside MSVC and so I don't have ANY means to continue running the application, while the presumed OP seems to imply the application was running fine after starting and therefore was able to perform the task semi-successfully.
TIA!!
It is application verifier.
I am guessing this is the original issue - Mysterious verifier.dll

Magento 1.8.1 payone extension 3.5.5 cc status_mapping issue

I hope you can help me.
After upgrading the payone extension from 3.1.8 to the newest 3.5.5 and checking the correctness of payone configuration with its menu 'export configuration' I detect that the creditcard is not listed under the status mapping group though the mapping for it is set. But the credicard data itself is exported anyway under the clearingtypes. I reinstalled the extension, some times, but allways the same effect. There is also no log entry.
The creditcard is the clearing type I have ordered by payone, the other, which are listed under status_mapping not.
Here is the part of the .xml export.
<status_mapping> !!! no creditcard listet under status mapping!!!

I marked that as a bug internally. However, I don't think this is a classic question for Stackoverflow. Feel free to add an issue at https://github.com/PAYONE-GmbH/magento-1 the next time something like this arises :)
I'll check whether I can pin down the issue and will get back to you.
Best,

How can I prevent Glimpse 1.8.2 from posting to api.mixpanel.com?

At certain times in its operation, Glimpse 1.8.2 POSTs to api.mixpanel.com.
What is it sending?
How can I stop this from happening?
How can I opt out?
From "avanderhoorn" at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/getglimpse-dev/mixpanel/getglimpse-dev/7WgpX_Menz4/tnqJBwt20ZgJ:
I'm sorry this caught you off guard, that is not our intension.
This is to be expected and went out with the last release - http://blog.getglimpse.com/2014/02/04/glimpse-1-8-2-released/ (see Glimpse Insights support). Its a part of an effort to try and make better decisions for choices we make -http://blog.getglimpse.com/2014/01/22/getting-greater-insights-into-glimpse/.
It is a part of core but when switched off, its a complete removal (from the blog post):
If you do opt-out, there will be no traces of Insights in your code base. Insights was designed not simply to be a switch on or off, but to be a complete removal. Meaning no traces of the Insights code will remain if you choose to opt out.
The information being gathered can be viewed if you have a look at local storage. If you want a better view than that, you can get the client repo - https://github.com/glimpse/glimpse.client/ - and running the test client - https://github.com/Glimpse/Glimpse.Client/blob/master/test/Client.html. Once you have that open you will see a tab called "Insights" on the right which shows the data as its being collected. Also, if you want to see the source code involved, its isolated to this one file - here is the specific code that captures the events https://github.com/Glimpse/Glimpse.Client/blob/master/source/glimpse.insight.js#L345-L520.
You are right about the fact that it should be on the site. We have a new site coming out soon and its noted there. Its an oversight and the fact that we have been focusing on the new stuff. In response to an earlier question - https://twitter.com/greensky/status/431491507590160384 - we have also updated the Glimpse.axd to have the code required to opt-out. This will go out with the next release.
As an action item on this, I'll update the config help page of the current website to make sure the same information thats in the post will be noted there. Also I would like your feedback if there is anything else you think we can do to help. For the sake of completeness, the following is the opt-out code which goes in your web.config:
<glimpse>
<clientScripts>
<ignoredTypes>
<add type="Glimpse.Core.ClientScript.Insight, Glimpse.Core"/>
</ignoredTypes>
</clientScripts>
</glimpse>
Lastly, as we get time, we will be making the data collected publicly available. If this is something you are interested in helping out with, we could sure use the help. We believe that information like this will not only help us make better decisions, but help the community inform us what they want beyond what we here from the occasional person on twitter or at conferences.
Let us know what you think.

Frames issue in Watir2.0.1? (with DevKit installed!)

I posted a few threads the other day on the Watir General Google Group, one of which detailed my difficulty using set_no_wait on a validated text field (link below); and was asked by Jarmo Pertman whether it was in a frame. It is, and this concerns me a little; as sadly the site I'm testing is heavily frame-centric, with no immediate plans to modernise.
I recently migrated from an ageing Ruby1.8.6/Watir1.6.2 test environment to Ruby1.8.7-334/Watir2.0.1, and am now noticing more methods that are no longer working for me in frames. For instance, click_no_wait on a button that presents a new window works perfectly fine in my old environment, but not in my new one.
This is a question to the Watir developer group. Are no_wait methods known to be failing in frames in Watuir 2.0.1? If so, are they being addressed? If they're not, then I'll be forced to revert back to an archiac version of Ruby and Watir. For many reasons, I don't want to do this.
(Environment: Ruby 1.8.7-334. Watir 2.0.1. XP Pro. IE8)
http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general/browse_thread/thread/85a1a872d1e054dc
from the comments:
Something occured to me last night; I had installed DevKit, which was required to get the FastDebugger working in Netbeans 7.0.1. After completely reinstalling Ruby1.8.7/Watir2.0.1 without DevKit, click_no_wait and set_no_wait now seems to be working for me. It means I'll have to use something else other than Netbeans to run my scripts, but at least my scripts work again. (github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit) I hope this info helps someone else. GJHmf – GJHmf Sep 1 at 10:19
(inserting this answer because:
the OP was requested to but had not done so within a months time.
it removes this from the list of 'un-answered' watir related

Live updates in website? (streamerapi)

I was in http://finance.yahoo.com/ and checked the europe tab ( markets are open here atm) you ll see trades updating live, I went to firebug to the Net tab and there was no updates... so I wonder how are they doing that?
I can see there is a streamerapi.finance.yahoo.com that actually makes fiddler throw an error.
Anyone knows anything else about this live update?
Really interested in this, would really like to know if they are constantly polling , the updates seem to happen at irregular intervals
found some info here
Please note my interest is on the seeminly push aspect of it ( ie view is updated when there is new information)
Cheers
It is called Comet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)
It is a comet system using a hidden iframe technique. A step by step description of what is going on with streamerapi as well as a simple debug HTA to consume the feed is available on my site: AJAX Push – Comet.
