[Madison] November meeting
Pythonistas,
It's less than 2 weeks until the next meeting, and we still don't have a topic/presenter. I've been looking around for someone to talk about SQLAlchemy, because there was considerable interest in it at the last meeting, but with no luck so far. In a pinch, of course, I can run through the tutorial and then turn around and present it to people, but before doing that: does anybody have some Python module, Python-related technology, or application of Python, that they'd be interested in talking about at this month's meeting? Anything goes, pretty much, as long as there's Python involved somehow.
-B.

I have been using SQLAlchemy recently, only in the "Expression Language" mode, nothing with the ORM at all. I'm no expert, and I won't have time to prepare a presentation, but I can certainly show up and help, if indeed this becomes the topic.
Disclaimer: My SQL in general is rusty; for lots of the last 5+ years I've been using OODBMS instead of RDBMS... so if you have some seriously arcane SQL questions, I'll be rusty.
Matt, actually, I am interested in both the OODBMS and SQLAlchemy. Would that be something you can do and would we have time to cover both?
Thanks, Farhan

I haven't been to a meeting yet, but I would be interested in doing a presentation some time on PyLucene since I have some working experience with it. It's basically a python interface to the Java Lucene full text search system, which is an awesome piece of software that can search millions of documents in a very short period of time. http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/
I'm thinking that an easy presentation on it would be to make a small django app that just gives you a search box to search your document index. I think some people could find it useful.
If you guys ever don't have a topic, I can definitely present on this.

I could do a a quickie on ZODB, but not for the upcoming meeting (I won't have time to prepare). I'm not familiar with the others (CouchDB, Durus, TokyoTyrant, etc.) but I'm interested in them. Perhaps we should all pick one, run through the tutorial, and then give a 20m overview?
Sorry I can't contribute this time around; I've got too much going on with Thanskgiving next week; we're hosting.
Max,
So would you be interested in presenting this on Saturday?
As an alternative, given that it's a long weekend, we can have a purely social meeting, maybe a roundtable of "things we've been doing lately"?

Sure that would work. What time is the meeting on Saturday? I'm home in Milwaukee for Thanksgiving so I'm just trying to figure out which bus to take back.
