Since Osayamen, by name oxax on Slack channel has been on the #pydata channel, it's been buzzing. That section of slack has been busy for days now, thanks to you all. @Aisha, I enjoy your mails a lot. They are usually laced with funny sides, please keep it up. After all, it shouldn't be formal all the time, should it? I welcome the PyLadies and I'm also making sure that I give off my time, as it permits, to help the event see the light of the day. For those who do not know, @Aisha has been working hard for a venue and we look forward to response after the holidays. Aisha, you too much! Well, I would like to announce to the community that I pasted some exception catching code at the Slack channel, please check it out and feel free to use it to taste. And if you feel it needs and amendment, you can also alter it as you wish. I program in Flask, that's not in doubt, but the inbuilt server for development could be slow at times and it also lacks the ability to have a certificate to make it serve connections on secure protocol, https (on this I might be wrong, so please correct me). But I took it upon myself to draw out a part of the Rocket webserver that web2py uses and then added some generated certificates (this is to avoid re-invention the wheel). The beauty of it now is that it's fast in starting up and can serve Flask, Django and other wsgi frameworks. Rocket webserver, according to this link: https://launchpad.net/rocket, is a quality webserver that can be used in production. I've yet to use it in production but on development, it runs circles. As against the version 1.2.4 on PyPi and the parent page, the one I have is version 1.2.6. I have been able to use it for tests too. I have added it as the default test server for Flask applications in PySide and it also stands as a separate module. My tests now complete faster. I have attached a screenshot of the app running on a secure localhost. I'm sorry, I tried cropping it but do not have the app to do so on my Mac. In essence, I have to modules for you guys, where do I release them to? Do we have a fixed account online for such? If it's missing, can I create a github account for PyNigeria? And I also had discussion with Aisha on how to make us viable and relevant in the scheme of things in this country but a meetup is necessary to discuss them. When, where and how do we meet?

Welcome Osayamen, We are a community that will expand soon to cover every Pythonista in Nigeria, primarily, and some in general. It's cool to note that you work with Python in your day to day's job and also use Flask along. It's same for me too. Please feel free to come over to the Slack channel too to join the other PyData people there. The community is wonderful, lovely and filled with warmth from everyone. Once more, you're welcome. www.bit.ly/iscrape -----Original Message----- From: python-nigeria-request(a)python.org Sender: "python-nigeria" <python-nigeria-bounces+hsysinfo=gmail.com(a)python.org>Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:00:05 To: <python-nigeria(a)python.org> Reply-To: python-nigeria(a)python.org Subject: python-nigeria Digest, Vol 8, Issue 16 Send python-nigeria mailing list submissions to python-nigeria(a)python.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-nigeria or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to python-nigeria-request(a)python.org You can reach the person managing the list at python-nigeria-owner(a)python.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of python-nigeria digest..."

Hello @Oluwaseun Omotosho, Since you are using windows as your hosting platform, you could try using waitress <https://github.com/Pylons/waitress> as your wsgi server. It is a performant pure python http server that is cross platform unlike gunicorn or uwsgi.

The PyLadies is a welcome idea. @Aisha, please keep up the good work and If I'm chanced, I could also lend a helping hand. Just let me know where I could be of help. @all, I'm a Flask person in my day-to-day's job but have worked with CherryPy & Django in the past. So, let's feel free to talk about what makes us work well on this list and on the slack channel too. iChux™ http://bit.ly/iscrape *Behind every no entry sign, there is a door.* On 16 March 2016 at 17:00, <python-nigeria-request(a)python.org> wrote: > Send python-nigeria mailing list submissions to > python-nigeria(a)python.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-nigeria > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > python-nigeria-request(a)python.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > python-nigeria-owner(a)python.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of python-nigeria digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
