hexagonal Django
by Jonathan Hartley Sept. 11, 2014

Sept. 11, 2014

The last few weeks I've been thinking about the architectural pattern known as Clean, Onion, Hexagonal, or Ports'n'Adaptors <http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html> (http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html). I'm curious if many people are applying it in the Django world? I haven't, yet, but I'm thinking of refactoring a vertical slice of our monster Django app into this style, and I'd love to hear if you think it's crazy / brilliant / obvious / old-hat, etc. Jonathan -- Jonathan Hartley tartley(a)tartley.com http://tartley.com Made of meat. +44 7737 062 225 twitter/skype: tartley

Next CamPUG meeting: Tuesday 5th February
by Tony Ibbs Jan. 29, 2013

Jan. 29, 2013

From our Google Group: The next meeting will be Tuesday 5th February, 7.30pm at RealVNC (http://tinyurl.com/realvncoffices). We normally stop about 9.30pm, and go on to the pub. This will be a "doing stuff" meeting. Any ideas welcome, otherwise we'll probably continue with something from a previous meeting, depending on who and how many turn up. Meetings after that should be: • Tuesday 5th March, a talks meeting • Tuesday 2nd April, a coding/doing stuff meeting • Tuesday 7th May, another talks meeting Tibs

Packaging advice for ujson / rpm / RHEL5
by Nicholas H.Tollervey Jan. 28, 2013

Jan. 28, 2013

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I need to build an RPM of ujson for RHEL5 targeting Python2.6. This will be deployed on "front end" boxes that do not have a compiler installed (hence I can't just pip install the damn thing). All the RHEL5 machines have Python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 installed with the default being 2.4 (what you get from /usr/bin/python). If I run setup in the root of the ujson project like this: $ python2.6 setup.py bdist_rpm I notice from the output from GCC that the script has the -fPIC flag reference /usr/include/python2.4 :-( Obviously, compilation is being done against the wrong version of Python. Anyone know how to pass in or force the version to Python 2.6? Many thanks, Nicholas. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRBj6DAAoJEP0qBPaYQbb6zhEIAKBRAxOmrq3XcBxG9PAlhMFf 9yYQ5cXumEFHMAyEM+DB9my+/VKojyWCYnsdkw5hSPheblyzdNExToqNOsNkgs+V Yg5OJ7/8G0mHi0Q/PjTLPdGtyuL4nRWTu2oOorq1MI9gZYAhAve9J1v1uYN6DJ1u 97DoAda4VaIQoRAjT4M1m9w3lrj8w90Ke6vFLTlctjo3ln64yD86MXinT1xa8Y3F 2Kzskm6/0Bpis16ek4+xS5tOxVWw6AtxmV2r3Oxx8PjQpleh3ewZjDE1B9217613 QpSI3kkhhl7Di+4O+W9HTNBOosnFodFk6UJjroRJb57opYejj+gymBfQzxktQKM= =x/Jb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Opensuse provides a nice build service for open source projects: https://build.opensuse.org/ They provide a CI (continuous integration) support for all the "enterprise" stuff distro. I maintain an /opt based python of latest mercurial code and it is particularly effective. I hope this helps. > Using these old enterprise systems is like working with your hands > tied behind your back : in the Red Hat world, you may be better off > developing on Fedora while targetting RHEL, but not as well off as > changing (and getting your customer to change) to Debian, although I > guess that that is a lost cause for any customer who has chosen an > enterprise system in the first place.

Next Python Sheffield meeting Tues Jan 29th
by Daley Chetwynd Jan. 23, 2013

Jan. 23, 2013

Hi all, The GIST Lab has now closed, so huge thanks for all they've done for the Python Sheffield group. For the next six months the Python Sheffield group will be meeting in Conference Room 2 of the Workstation, which is next to the GIST Lab, behind the Showroom cinema and opposite Sheffield train station. Note the earlier start and end times This month we have the following two speakers: Daley Chetwynd (@dchetwynd)- Comparison of Python web templating engines Thomas Kluyver (@takluyver)- Making Python Run Fast The description for Thomas' talk is: "For years, Python developers have traded the execution speed of a statically compiled language for the development speed of an interpreted one. Now there are several projects aiming to give us the best of both worlds. We'll look at the advantages of different options, like PyPy, Cython and Numba." If you'd like to join us for this event then please register for free at: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cp3q7fnqbf40doavj2aoaets378 The Python Sheffield group is open to all levels of Python user, including those who don't currently know the language but would like to learn. We're always looking for future speakers, so if you'd like to talk on anything Python-related and fancy a trip over to Sheffield, please get in touch. To find out more, follow @pysheff on Twitter or see the Google group: groups.google.com/group/python-sheffield Thanks, Daley -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A fast, anti-spam email service.
