Python library to extract data tables from PDF files
by Vinayak Mehta 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

Hello everyone! I recently released a Python library which lets users extract data tables out of PDF files, my first open source library! Here's the link: https://github.com/socialcopsdev/camelot I've created a wiki page <https://github.com/socialcopsdev/camelot/wiki/Comparison-with-other-PDF-Tab…> comparing it to other open source PDF table extraction tools. I'm currently working on porting it to Python3! I would be really grateful if you could check it out and see if its useful to you and give me any feedback that may help me improve it, by replying here, opening an issue or a pull request! Looking forward to hearing from you all! Thanks for your time! Vinayak

Hi PSF members - As some of you may have seen, the 2018 Python Developer Survey is available. If you haven't taken the survey yet, please do so soon! Additionally, we'd appreciate any assistance you all can provide with sharing the survey with your local Python groups, schools, work colleagues, etc. We will keep the survey open through October 26th, 2018. https://surveys.jetbrains.com/s3/c4-python-developers-survey-2018 We’re counting on your help to better understand how different Python developers use Python and related frameworks, tools, and technologies. We also hope you'll enjoy going through the questions. The survey is organized in partnership between the Python Software Foundation and JetBrains. Together we will publish the aggregated results. We will randomly choose and announce 100 winners to receive a Python Surprise Gift Pack (must complete the full survey to qualify). Thank you, Ewa Jodlowska

Crisis Incidents
by Don Sheu 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Recently, we as organizers dealt with somebody on Slack in distress. This created a lot of tough decisions on responses. Alan Vezina my fellow founder of PuPPy took a lead. Following some coaching from social workers, he made a call to 911. Wondering if other organizers have anything to share. We didn't build the Ark in this case. But now after the rain trying to backfill with some process so we're better prepared. -- Don Sheu 312.880.9389 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My Python user group convenes every month 2nd Wednesdays http://www.meetup.com/PSPPython/events/232708762/ *CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE*: *The information contained in this message may be protected trade secrets or protected by applicable intellectual property laws of the United States and International agreements.
