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 Python Sheffield meeting March 26th
by Daley Chetwynd March 24, 2013

March 24, 2013

Hi all, The next Python Sheffield meeting is on Tuesday March 26th from 18:30 - 20:30 in conference room 2 at The Workstation. The Workstation is located opposite Sheffield train station and behind the Showroom cinema: http://www.showroomworkstation.org.uk/location/ This month is a coding session on dealing with legacy code. I've obtained an example of messy legacy Python code with no tests, so we're going to spend the two hours working in pairs to firstly understand what this code is actually doing, then safely refactor it to something cleaner whilst adding tests. Bring along a laptop with Python installed, either Python 2 or Python 3. No registration is required for this event and attendance is free. 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: https://groups.google.com/group/python-sheffield Thanks, Daley -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm... Fastmail...

Python Glasgow Dojo next month 8th April
by Dougal Matthews March 21, 2013

March 21, 2013

Hey all, As you seen in the previous email - we will be meeting again at Blackfriars on the 4th Monday. That's the 25th this month. Then next month we are going be moving to the second Tuesday and to kick it off we will start with running our first dojo! Twig have kindly offered to host us in their office and will be providing some pizza and beer. Their offices are fairly central, a few minutes walk from Charing Cross. Also, by the way, Twig are hiring: https://gist.github.com/aaronbassett/4768919 For those of you that don't know, a dojo is a fun coding event where we split into teams and hack on a problem for about 90 minutes. The focus is on getting something working and making progress rather than on code quality, so feel free to take on the problem any way you wish! Then at the end we will share what we found. It's great fun and great for learning too. All levels of Python are welcome as you can contribute to your team with ideas and discussion. We will be following the format of the London Python Dojo - to read more about what to expect look here: http://ntoll.org/article/how-to-run-an-awesome-code-dojo Tickets are available now at https://pythonglasgow.eventwax.com/dojo-april-2013 I'm really looking forward to it and hoping to see you there! Cheers, Dougal

by Peter Russell March 12, 2013

March 12, 2013

== West Yorkshire Python User Group Meeting - Thurs. 14 March == = Coding Session - Porting Restish to Python 3 = This month we have decided to do some good for the world, by porting Matt Goodall's web framework Restish to Python 3. Matt is a member of the group, so we'll have all the context we could hope for. You can find the source for Restish here[1] and the early work on porting it to Python 3 here[2]. Don't worry if you're new to Python 3 (a lot of us are), or even to Python, we'll muddle through and figure it out! You should probably bring a laptop with Python 2.6 or higher and Python 3.3 installed if you have one available. [1] https://github.com/ish/restish [2] https://github.com/warsaw/restish/tree/py33 = Date and Time = Thursday 14 March, from 6:30pm. We're starting earlier this month to give us a little more time. Don't worry about turning up after the start, it's fully expected that some people will be later. = Location = We will be meeting at the offices of The Test People: Floor 3 Albion Court Albion Place Leeds West Yorkshire, LS1 6JL You will need to call Peter on 07763570860 for access, as we can't hear the buzzer at the door. = About the Group = The West Yorkshire Python User Group (WYPy) have been meeting monthly since 2007. Our meetings are free, and usually include at least one talk, as well as a trip to the pub. Our website is at http://wypy.org.uk . We discuss our meetings on the Python Yorkshire and Humberside Google Group http://groups.google.com/group/python-yorks-humber/ and you can also follow us on Twitter at @WYPython.
