Suppose i have this nested list: >>> x [['NM100', 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], ['NM100', 10, 11, 12, 13], ['NM200', 15, 16, 17]] >>> for i in x: ... print i ... ['NM100', 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] ['NM100', 10, 11, 12, 13] ['NM200', 15, 16, 17] >>> how do i obtain from the above the following nested list: >>> z [['NM100', 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13], ['NM200', 15, 16, 17]] >>> for i in z: ... print i ... ['NM100', 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13] ['NM200', 15, 16, 17] >>>

Plone Conference 2010 Earlybird rate ends in 9 days
by Matt Hamilton July 22, 2010

July 22, 2010

Hi All, Just to give any of those who are thinking of going a poke, we are hosting the 8th International Plone Conference here in Bristol at the end of October and the bargain earlybird rate of £250+VAT for the 3-day conference ends at the end of the month.... just 9 days time! So if you are using Plone, or interested in Plone, or just want to come along and find out a bit more about it (or just want to come for the mini beer and pie festival) then go register your tickets now: http://www.ploneconf2010.org/ We are expecting over 400 delegates from around 30 countries to be attending, with over 50 talks, plus training, sprints, and an un-conference day. For those of you wondering 'what the hell is a Plone?!', Plone is an Open Source python web content management system used by all sorts of organisations worldwide (Oxfam, NASA, Warwickshire Police Force, Novell, etc) for their public websites or intranets. It has been under active development for almost a decade, with over 10,000 svn commits to the core system in the last 12 months alone. As a slight aside... if you want to see how quick it is to get up and running, here is a screencast I just did at Europython yesterday in which I go from nothing but python installed to fully installed and running Plone instance in under 3 minutes: http://is.gd/dAqs1 -Matt -- Matt Hamilton matth(a)netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.

Next Northants Geeks Meetup: Thursday 15th July, BBQ Abington Park
by Michael Foord July 15, 2010

July 15, 2010

Hello all, The next exciting installment of the Northants Geek Meet is nearly upon us. We're having a barbecue on July 15th at Abington Park, starting at 7.30pm. Everyone welcome. If you can bring food, drink and friends - but they're all optional and will be provided. We usually get a good turnout of 10-20 people from the whole spectrum of geekdom. (Programmers, web designers, system administrators, truck drivers, gadget enthusiasts, students and so on.) Everyone is welcome. We'll be at the side of Abington Park nearest the town centre. Pretty much where the "A" appears on this google map: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=abington+park+northampton&sll=37.0625,-95.677… If the weather is too gruesome we'll probably default back to the Malt Shovel pub as usual. A definite decision will be made before 6pm - so check the twitter account (url in the signature of this email) before leaving. Feel free to phone me if you need to check. All the best, Michael Foord -- https://twitter.com/northantsgeeks http://groups.google.com/group/northantsgeeks 07731 383732

London Python Code Dojo Tomorrow
by Nicholas Tollervey July 2, 2010

July 2, 2010

Folks, Just a quick note to remind people that the next London Python Code Dojo is happening tomorrow at 6:30pm at the offices of Fry-IT. Details and sign-up can be found here: http://ldnpydojo.eventwax.com/11th-london-python-code-dojo This will be the last Dojo before a summer break in August (the first anniversary dojo will be in September). We’re going to decide the problem for the evening during the pizza/beer part of proceedings. There will be a suggestions board and people will be asked to vote at the start of the coding session. I've been intrigued by this: http://phonons.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/cells-a-massively-multi-agent-pytho… (source code here: http://github.com/phreeza/cells) If we can't think of anything else, perhaps we could have our own Pythonic "World Cup" match with agents that we manage to write during the evening. Please, no Vuvuzelas. :-) Pizza and beer start at 6:30pm and coding will start at 7:30. We aim to finish 9:30ish. Looking forward to it, Nicholas.
