I guess the venue would be the Old Bank of England unless someone has a better idea for a venue. We will be there at about 6.30pm. http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/66/660/ Michael -- Hello all, I have an American friend who is a keen Python programmer on a visit to London on Wednesday.

Python web developer needed (London)
by Ben Pirt July 17, 2007

July 17, 2007

All, I hope you don't mind me spamming the list with a job posting. I am the technical director of a company called More Associates. We are a design company who currently work at the Angel in London. Most of our work is in the sustainable sector and is very varied, ranging from custom installations to interaction design and web development. We are looking for talented, driven and, above all, creative developers who would be involved from the very start of a new project and would help shape the architecture and direction it will take, working with other developers and designers to create a world-class, world- changing web application. A high level of expertise in Python is essential and the ability to code well on the client-side is also needed (XHTML, CSS, Javascript / DOM / AJAX). Being able to work in a team is also a must. We have a full-time position becoming available and we feel that it is important that the person who fills this role is based in the office because we value the team dynamic this allows - we are not interested in hiring a freelancer or a telecommuter at this point - if you're not London based you'll need to be willing to commute. If this sounds interesting to you, please email me off list (I don't want to clog up everyone's mailboxes with the replies) so that we can discuss it further and hopefully meet up. I'll be going to the London meetup on the 31st so if anyone wants to talk more about this over a beer that's fine with me :-) All the best, Ben Pirt

ann: Python at the IET
by Tim Golden July 9, 2007

July 9, 2007

If you're in London around 6.30pm this Thursday evening, July 5th 2007, you might want to drop in on The Institution of Engineering and Technology [1] on the Embankment near Waterloo Bridge [2] for "A Light byte of Python" [3]. Michael Grazebrook, Pete Ryland and I are flying the Python flag for the benefit of technologists who have not yet had the pleasure. Michael will be using ctypes to control a USB-interfaced sensor kit; Pete will be demoing user interfaces; I'll be using BeautifulSoup and sqlite3 to populate a database from a web page and (time permitting) using csv and ReportLab to push it back out again. We're presenting the thing as a bring-a-laptop workshop, and it would be great if we had experienced Pythoneers along to help afterwards (in addition to ourselves). The take-up's been quite high for the event and there's tea & coffee beforehand and sandwiches afterwards.
