Come to this months Chicago Python User Group Meeting and find out what happens when you cross a Chipmunk with a Python. This is sure to be our best meeting yet. Confirm your attendance: mtobis aat gmail doot com with "ChiPy March" in your subject line. On Topics --------- Someone will fake a mild dutch accent and channel BDFL's state of the universe talk from PyCon, revealing upcoming new features of Python 2.5 and beyond. We also will talk about: * doctest -- looks like interactive shell but embedded into doc strings * itertools *Module of the Month* * Maybe SCons -- finally get rid of those darn make files! Off topics ---------- * hosting our FREEEE Python class * start planning for the Code Sprint Hackathon on March 18th http:// chipy.org/ChipyChipySprint * bring your tee shirt ideas. The best idea wins: a genuine pat on the back. * something unexpected is also not planned Location -------- At the historic Monadnock Building, which in the 1890s was the tallest building in the world. That's 53 W Jackson Blvd, room 826. Here's a map: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=53+W+Jackson+Blvd,+Chicago,+IL It's right on the blue line, and two blocks from the red line, and walking distance to all of the Metra termini. Cheap parking is a few blocks away at State and Harrison, more expensive parking is immediately adjacent on Federal between Jackson and Van Buren. Take the Eisenhower all the way in until it turns into Congress, and you'll be right in the neighborhood. Turn right on State or left on Federal if you are looking for the cheap or the convenient recommended parking lots respectively. ***NOTE: PLEASE EMAIL mtobis aat gmail doot com with "ChiPy March" in your subject line to confirm your attendance.
