Making progress on velocipy

I geeked out and graphed the number of patches per day that I have committed to velocipy. Either I'm getting a lot more done than usual, or my metric is not good (probably a little of both).

The code with which I generated the graph is something like this:

import datetime

import pylab as p

fmt = "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"
s = open('/tmp/changelog.txt').read() # from $ darcs changes
lines = s.splitlines()
days = {}
dts = []
for line in lines:
  line = line.strip()
  if "  James" in line: # Just get my patches
    try:
      d, _ = line.split("  James")
    except:
      raise line
    try:
      dt = datetime.datetime.strptime(d, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y").date()
      dts.append(dt)
      if not days.has_key(dt):
        days[dt] = 0
      days[dt] += 1

    except ValueError, e:
      print line
      
    print dt


data = days.items()
data.sort()
x, y = zip(*data)
p.bar(x, y)
p.show()
