UK Python Conference - 19-22 April 2006
by Andy Robinson March 1, 2006

March 1, 2006

The ACCU is once again hosting a UK Python Conference on the above dates at the Randolph Hotel in Oxford. Sign up now..... http://www.accu.org/index.php/conferences/2006/schedule PROGRAMME ========= I am happy to announce that Guido van Rossum is once again a keynote speaker for the entire ACCU conference. Following his keynote we have a single, 2-day Python track on Wednesday and Thursday including... Steve Holden: The Best of PyCon Michael Hudson: Error Handling with Recovery Phil Thompson: PyQT 4 Michael Hudson: PyPy - a progress report Simon Willison: Django Remi Delon: CherryPy and TurboGears Chris Withers: Templating systems Andy Robinson: Metadata and models in Python Andrew Thompson: Financial Programming in Python ...and of course lightning talks and BOFS will be welcome.... Friday will feature a Dynamic Languages track with in-depth talks on Javascript, Ruby and Groovy, which I am sure will be of great interest to Python developers. PRE CONFERENCE PYTHON TUTORIAL: =============================== John Pinner will be giving a full day "Python for Programmers" tutorial on Tuesday prior to the main event. This tutorial is aimed at programmers who have no previous knowledge of Python but who would like to know more about it. If you want to convert your colleagues, this is where to send them.... ABOUT THE ACCU CONFERENCE ========================= For those not familiar with the event, the ACCU conference is one of the foremost gatherings of programming talent in the world, regularly featuring authors and major figures from the C/C++/C#/Java/Python and other communities. The cheapest way to attend is to join the ACCU This will be the LAST CHANCE to attend this fantastic event; after more than 5 years of being nurtured by the ACCU, the UK Python community will hopefully be organising a standalone conference in future years. Python talks will continue to be welcome (and we hope numerous) on the ACCU programme, but not as an advertised "mini-conference"; instead we'll be shifting focus to dynamic languages in general. Best Regards, Andy Robinson ACCU Conference Committee

how to kill the server in program
by Yang, W (Wanjuan) Feb. 16, 2006

Feb. 16, 2006

Hello, I am building a server program. I have seen some examples like the following: import pickle import Queue import socket import threading # We'll pickle a list of numbers, yet again: someList = [ 1, 2, 7, 9, 0 ] pickledList = pickle.dumps ( someList ) # A revised version of our thread class: class ClientThread ( threading.Thread ): # Note that we do not override Thread's __init__ method. # The Queue module makes this not necessary. def run ( self ): # Have our thread serve "forever": while True: # Get a client out of the queue client = clientPool.get() # Check if we actually have an actual client in the client variable: if client != None: print 'Received connection:', client [ 1 ] [ 0 ] client [ 0 ].send ( pickledList ) for x in xrange ( 10 ): print client [ 0 ].recv ( 1024 ) client [ 0 ].close() print 'Closed connection:', client [ 1 ] [ 0 ] # Create our Queue: clientPool = Queue.Queue ( 0 ) # Start two threads: for x in xrange ( 2 ): ClientThread().start() # Set up the server: server = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM ) server.bind ( ( '', 2727 ) ) server.listen ( 5 ) # Have the server serve "forever": while True: clientPool.put ( server.accept() ) Since the server main thread and child thread will run forever, my question is how can I exit the server nicely in the program when it is required (e.g no clients coming for a while) rather than using 'Ctrl-c' or kill the process. another question is: Is that when the main thread is killed, then the child thread will stop as well? In this case, before killing the main thread, we have to make sure the child thread already finish its job. But how the main thread know whether the child thread finish the job or not. in other words, how does the main thread communicate the child thread? Anybody know? Thanks in advance! Best Wishes, Wendy Yang

by Shanon (sent by Nabble.com) Feb. 10, 2006

Feb. 10, 2006

Hi, I would to know if there're some way to have a dump of all the threads started by a python process. I want to see the TID corresponding of each thread because I need them to get the CPU time of each thread by the command top. Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Thread-Dump-of-a-python-process-t1089325.html#a2840619 Sent from the Python - python-uk forum at Nabble.com.

Reminder: Python Meet Manchester 8th Feb, Lass O'Gowrie
by Michael Sparks Feb. 1, 2006

Feb. 1, 2006

Hi, Just a reminder that Python Meet Manchester is happening NEXT week. * Where: Lass O'Gowrie Pub. Directions: http://tinyurl.com/cp3kv * When: 7pm onwards, Wed 8th Feb I don't know if this'll be the first meetup for pythonistas that's happened in Manchester, but it'll be the first one I've been to there - should be fun :-) If you've been to one in London you know pretty much what to expect - a bunch of geeks in a pub talking, well, about python and stuff they find interesting. If you've used/written/found something you think's cool and want to talk about it & show it off please do. Sign up page (not obligatory, but would be nice if people did - it at least has my ugly mug on as a point of reference for people :-) here: * http://tinyurl.com/a9cry Current topics offered up for discussion: * Turbo Gears * Kamaelia (Similar problem space to twisted for people who don't know what it is, but very different - hopefully more newbie friendly) * How to write "Pythonically". (I'm convinced you need to be dutch for that one myself ;-) Also if you're vaguely interested in python, but are interested in other things like RoR, please come along - the London meets are interesting because of the eclectic mix of people/interests :-) Likewise if there's anything you'd be interested in seeing/hearing about, please come and chat about it :) Please feel free to forward this reminder around! See you there! Michael.

Tutorial at Python UK, Oxford, 19 May
by Andy Robinson Feb. 1, 2006

Feb. 1, 2006

Michele Simionato is giving a full day tutorial titled "The Wonders of Python" at the UK Python Conference, Randolph Hotel, Oxford on 19 May. (This replaces Alex Martelli, who is now working for Google in California). https://www.accu.org/conference/python_tutorial.html This is a fantastic opportunity to boost your Python skills and catch up on the newer features of the language, for a fraction of the price of a professional training course. The course costs £135 for ACCU members and £160 for non-ACCU. There are still a few places left; anyone wishing to attend should directly contact the organisers, Archer Yates Associates, whose details are on the bottom left corner of the page. Best Regards Andy Robinson UK Python Conference program chair
