intro - pythoneer in Brighton
by jon Nicoll Jan. 3, 2001

Jan. 3, 2001

Hello there I've just come across the Python-UK mailing list and thought I'd announce my presence. I'm a SW/embedded electronics engineer currently working in Brighton, where I moved to from 'Silicon Fen' (Cambridge) last year. I've been on the enjoyable learning curve of Python for 3/4 months now - I'm currently ontracting, but my client is easy-going and pretty much lets me use 'the tool for the job'. I've been using Python for a custom UDP trace and analyse tool which runs with embedded systems running an SDL kernel - it's worked well. I've also been wondering about interfacing Python to other parts of the world. I've started getting into Piddle, and have written a simple module (very like Les Smithson's ioport module) to access the I/O ports of the LPT port directly on an 80x86 PC. Ideally I plan to experiment a bit with using Python for small industrial control etc. It'd be nice to meet up with other in the UK - I can make it to London given sufficient notice etc. Nice to see Andy Robinson here - the O'Reilly Python/Win32 book is excellent! Best Regards Jon Nicoll
