ChiPy ========================= When: 7 PM Thursday November 11, 2010 Where: ITA This will be our Best Meeting Ever! Topics ------ 1. 7:00 Mako and Cherrypy (Michael Mileusnich) 2. 7:45 Pizza (Imaginary Landscape) 3. 8:00 Tox (Kumar McMillan) Details ------- 1. Mako and Cherrypy Michael Mileusnich using Mako combined with Cherrypy to create a Python web server, passing data back and forth, and some javascript issues with certain browsers. 2. Pizza Imaginary Landscape We currently have a programmer position open, and as always are interested in freelancers. http://www.imagescape.com 5121 N Ravenswood Avenue • Chicago, IL 60640 3. Tox Kumar McMillan http://codespeak.net/tox/ It's a great new open source tool that helps you support all versions of python with your existing automated tests. It's not a test runner, it's a super test runner runner! Or something. There is no easy way to describe it which is why the front page of the website is sort of confusing, IMO. We use tox on the Nose project to make sure each code change doesn't break the tests in Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.0 or Jython. Not everybody targets so many environments but if you want to maintain a widely used module then you probably will want to use tox someday. Here's our Hudson matrix setup w/ tox: http://hudson.testrun.org/job/nose-unstable/ (we just set this up recently which is why most builds were broken in one or two envs) I can also spend some time going over how we are currently maintaining a test suite that runs in both 2.x and 3.x simultaneously Location -------- Illinois Technology Association (ITA) 200 S. Wacker Drive 15th Floor Chicago, IL 60606 312.435.2805 http://www.illinoistech.org Metra: exit on Adams St, walk East across the bridge, first door on the right. Show your ID to security. Be on the list or they will be sad. http://chipy.org/FrontPage#sign-up About the group --------------- ChiPy is made up of people of all levels of programming and Python knowledge.
