EuroPython 2015: New Code of Conduct
by M.-A. Lemburg 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

For EuroPython 2015 we have chosen to use a new code of conduct (CoC) that is based on the PyCon UK Code of Conduct [1]. We think that it reads much nicer than the one we had before, while serving the same purpose. In summary: Be nice to each other --------------------- We trust that attendees will treat each other in a way that reflects the widely held view that diversity and friendliness are strengths of our community to be celebrated and fostered. Furthermore, we believe attendees have a right to: * be treated with courtesy, dignity and respect; * be free from any form of discrimination, victimization, harassment or bullying; * enjoy an environment free from unwelcome behavior, inappropriate language and unsuitable imagery. Here’s the permanent link to the CoC for 2015: EuroPython 2015 - Code of Conduct http://ep2015.europython.eu/coc/ We’d like to thank the PyCon UK organizers for their work on the CoC and for putting it under a CC license.

OSCON 2015 CfP DEADLINE Feb 2
by Aahz 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

OSCON (O'Reilly Open Source Conference) will be held in Portland, OR July 20-24. The Call for Proposals is now open with a DEADLINE of Monday February 2: http://www.oscon.com/open-source-2015/public/cfp/360 O'Reilly has completely reorganized OSCON. Instead of focusing on individual technologies, there are a bunch of themes: * Identity - An emerging and nuanced facet in the digital age and an exciting cross-functional track at OSCON 2015. * Security - We'll explore security from top to bottom, offering frameworks and libraries, strategies for testing, and field reports of both security failure and success. * Privacy - Computers remember our interactions at a level of detail the physical world never has. Do we want to be remembered, and for how long? * Performance - From compilation and interpreter time to DOM manipulation, browser responsiveness, and network latency, we'll explore performance in all its facets. * Mobility - We'll look at what it means to have a successful mobile game plan, from wearables to native apps. * People - Making projects work requires communications, collaboration, and respect; we'll look at the ways a new generation of tools and approaches can help you work. * Architecture - Software architecture is a massive multidisciplinary subject, covering many roles and responsibilities--and a key position in the success of any business. * Scale - You've created a great web interface that is well designed, secure, and works well in a beta with 100 consumers, but how about 10,000, 1,000,000, or more? * Storage - Find your way among the myriad choices for storing data and optimizing your systems for stability, distribution, convenience, and performance. * Teaching - You want to share your best practices, projects, and tools with the world, but how do you go about sharing this knowledge? We'll examine learning theory and methods of teaching. * Design - It's critical for success; learn how to incorporate design best practices from the beginning of your project rather and all the way through. * Solve - Harness the power of math to manipulate, secure, and create data. * Data - Let's tackle data's continued, growing influence over the entire business world and how you can make it work for you. * Foundations - A strong foundation in computational thinking, problem solving, and programming best practices makes for a successful programmer. See the CfP page for more details. -- Aahz (aahz(a)pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code -- not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death." --GvR

ANN: Version 0.1.4 of sarge (a subprocess wrapper library) has been released.
by Vinay Sajip 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

Version 0.1.4 of Sarge, a cross-platform library which wraps the subprocess module in the standard library, has been released. What changed? ------------- - Fixed issue #20: Now runs a pipeline in a separate thread if async. - Fixed issue #21: The command line isn't parsed if shell=True is specified. - Added Coveralls to Travis configuration. - Tests added to cover added functionality and reported issues. - Numerous documentation updates. What does Sarge do? ------------------- Sarge tries to make interfacing with external programs from your Python applications easier than just using subprocess alone. Sarge offers the following features: * A simple way to run command lines which allows a rich subset of Bash- style shell command syntax, but parsed and run by sarge so that you can run on Windows without cygwin (subject to having those commands available): >>> from sarge import capture_stdout >>> p = capture_stdout('echo foo | cat; echo bar') >>> for line in p.stdout: print(repr(line)) ... 'foo\n' 'bar\n' * The ability to format shell commands with placeholders, such that variables are quoted to prevent shell injection attacks. * The ability to capture output streams without requiring you to program your own threads. You just use a Capture object and then you can read from it as and when you want. * The ability to look for patterns in captured output and to interact accordingly with the child process. Advantages over subprocess --------------------------- Sarge offers the following benefits compared to using subprocess: * The API is very simple. * It's easier to use command pipelines - using subprocess out of the box often leads to deadlocks because pipe buffers get filled up. * It would be nice to use Bash-style pipe syntax on Windows, but Windows shells don't support some of the syntax which is useful, like &&, ||, |& and so on. Sarge gives you that functionality on Windows, without cygwin. * Sometimes, subprocess.Popen.communicate() is not flexible enough for one's needs - for example, when one needs to process output a line at a time without buffering the entire output in memory. * It's desirable to avoid shell injection problems by having the ability to quote command arguments safely. * subprocess allows you to let stderr be the same as stdout, but not the other way around - and sometimes, you need to do that. Python version and platform compatibility ----------------------------------------- Sarge is intended to be used on any Python version >= 2.6 and is tested on Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X (not all versions are tested on all platforms, but sarge is expected to work correctly on all these versions on all these platforms). Finding out more ---------------- You can read the documentation at http://sarge.readthedocs.org/ There's a lot more information, with examples, than I can put into this post. You can install Sarge using "pip install sarge" to try it out. The project is hosted on BitBucket at https://bitbucket.org/vinay.sajip/sarge/ And you can leave feedback on the issue tracker there. I hope you find Sarge useful! Regards, Vinay Sajip
