[ANN] 10ᵀᴴ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python in Nikiti, Greece, August 28—September 2, 2017
by Tiziano Zito 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

10ᵀᴴ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python ============================================== a Summer School by the G-Node and the Municipality of Sithonia Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few scientists have been trained to use them. As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In this course we will present a selection of advanced programming techniques and best practices which are standard in the industry, but especially tailored to the needs of a programming scientist. Lectures are devised to be interactive and to give the students enough time to acquire direct hands-on experience with the materials. Students will work in pairs throughout the school and will team up to practice the newly learned skills in a real programming project — an entertaining computer game. We use the Python programming language for the entire course. Python works as a simple programming language for beginners, but more importantly, it also works great in scientific simulations and data analysis. We show how clean language design, ease of extensibility, and the great wealth of open source libraries for scientific computing and data visualization are driving Python to become a standard tool for the programming scientist. This school is targeted at Master or PhD students and Post-docs from all areas of science. Competence in Python or in another language such as Java, C/C++, MATLAB, or Mathematica is absolutely required. Basic knowledge of Python and of a version control system such as git, subversion, mercurial, or bazaar is assumed. Participants without any prior experience with Python and/or git should work through the proposed introductory material before the course. We are striving hard to get a pool of students which is international and gender-balanced. You can apply online: https://python.g-node.org Application deadline: 23:59 UTC, May 31, 2017. There will be no deadline extension, so be sure to apply on time ;-) Be sure to read the FAQ before applying. Participation is for free, i.e. no fee is charged! Participants however should take care of travel, living, and accommodation expenses by themselves. Date & Location =============== August 28—September 2, 2017. Nikiti, Sithonia, Halkidiki, Greece Program ======= → Best Programming Practices • Best practices for scientific programming • Version control with git and how to contribute to open source projects with GitHub • Best practices in data visualization → Software Carpentry • Test-driven development • Debugging with a debuggger • Profiling code → Scientific Tools for Python • Advanced NumPy → Advanced Python • Decorators • Context managers • Generators → The Quest for Speed • Writing parallel applications • Interfacing to C with Cython • Memory-bound problems and memory profiling • Data containers: storage and fast access to large data → Practical Software Development • Group project Preliminary Faculty =================== • Francesc Alted, freelance consultant, author of Blosc, Castelló de la Plana, Spain • Pietro Berkes, NAGRA Kudelski, Lausanne, Switzerland • Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek, Krasnow Institute, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA USA • Eilif Muller, Blue Brain Project, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Switzerland • Juan Nunez-Iglesias, Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative, University of Melbourne, Australia • Rike-Benjamin Schuppner, Institute for Theoretical Biology, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany • Nicolas P.

structlog 17.1.0
by Hynek Schlawack 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hi everyone, I’m happy to announce structlog 17.1.0 has been released to PyPI: <https://pypi.org/project/structlog/> The main features of this release are massive improvements in standard library's logging integration. Have a look at the updated standard library chapter on how to use them! Special thanks go to Fabian Büchler, Gilbert Gilb's, Iva Kaneva, insolite, and sky-code, that made them possible. Check out the full changelog at <https://structlog.readthedocs.io/en/17.1.0/changelog.html> *** If you haven’t heard of structlog: it makes logging in Python less painful and more powerful by adding structure to your log entries. It’s up to you whether you want structlog to take care about the output of your log entries or whether you prefer to forward them to an existing logging system like the standard library’s logging module. No monkey patching involved in either case. Got to <http://www.structlog.org/> to read more!
