Fwd: Suggestions for changes to the edu-sig list
by Andre Roberge May 23, 2014

May 23, 2014

I hope this is the right mailing list... I can no longer maintain the edu-sig page; could someone take care of this please? (and also remove my name at the bottom of the page) André ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joanne Daudier <joanne(a)learnstreet.com> Date: Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 3:27 AM Subject: Suggestions for changes to the edu-sig list To: andre.roberge(a)gmail.com Hi Andre: My name is Joanne Daudier, and I'm with LearnStreet, an online platform for computer programming education. We are creating a new tool <http://www.learnstreet.com/teacher> to help computer science teachers teach Python with ease . The tool includes a teacher dashboard, an autograder, practice exercises, projects, and lessons on programming languages and computer science topics. We believe that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn to code, so we've created these free resources for educators around the world. *Could you help us with our mission by adding LearnStreet's teacher pilot program to the edu-sig list?* Thank you!

Implementing a personal standard library
by Richard Prosser Feb. 18, 2014

Feb. 18, 2014

IMO, the Standard Library is overblown and outdated, so users may wish to implement their own. This may be the subject of a PEP beyond the one (411) mentioned in the post below. This "Dead Batteries Included"<http://programming.oreilly.com/2013/10/dead-batteries-included.html>blog post suggests a way of doing that - a pip requirements file - but I am reluctant to link to that particular page, if only because there are no detailed instructions supplied. I am also unsure where to place it, or the equivalent text. Do you have any suggestions, please? Perhaps there should be a "Practical Python" section or the like. Thanks ... Richard

https://wiki.python.org/moin/FrontPage: broken link
by Richard Prosser Jan. 24, 2014

Jan. 24, 2014

The Software <https://wiki.python.org/moin/FrontPage#software> link at the top - [[FrontPage#software|Software]] - does not work because the relevant anchor is labelled 'start', rather than 'Software': == Python Software == <<Anchor(start)>> Also I believe that such anchors should be placed before the corresponding header, for readability purposes - e.g.: <<Anchor(start)>> == Python Software == I would edit the page myself but I am not allowed to do so, of course. Regards, Richard

Jan. 15, 2014

I had to tweak the main template today to add a timezone notice to the user group calendar. Since I couldn't remember how this is done from last time, I had to dig around a bit again and finally found a way to have the site rebuilt This time, I documented the steps for future reference on this wiki page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonWebsiteDetails -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jan 15 2014) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.

pydotorg-www still refers to catalog-sig for pypi
by Mark Lawrence Jan. 4, 2014

Jan. 4, 2014

Just to flag up that the pypi reference on https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www should be changed to a/the distutils list. -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language. Mark Lawrence
