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

The PyPy London Sprint 2013-08-26 – 2013-09-01
by Richard Nienaber July 30, 2013

July 30, 2013

Hi all I got a mail in my inbox today about the PyPy London Sprint<http://www.meetup.com/The-London-Python-Group-TLPG/events/130495742/?a=ea1_…> : The PyPy development team are coming to London 2013-08-26 – 2013-09-01, for > a seven day sprint. This is a public sprint so anyone is welcome. They need > people to write tests and define the way PyPy evolves as well as people who > know RPython. I am interested in PyPy's Python 3 compliance, the STM > implementation to remove the infamous GIL, and NumPy support (to handle > serious computation and all that financial Python stuff), so I will be > trying to get to as much of it as I can. > > If you are in London (it's being held at KCL on Strand), and can spare > some time to help create the future of Python, please come along. I can't remember hearing about it through this list so I thought other people might be interested. More information can be found on their blog: http://morepypy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/pypy-london-sprint-august-26-septemb… Regards Richard

by Nicholas H.Tollervey July 22, 2013

July 22, 2013

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just want to bring the following role to people's attention: A backend Python developer (with an interest in Scala) is required for a six month contract in the "discussion" team. "Discussion" is a high visibility part of the Guardian's web presence and handles a huge amount of user-generated data. The team solves interesting yet challenging problems that need to work at scale. The daily rate is around the £350 mark. Of course, the Guardian is an interesting and fun place to work and is definitely a world leader in the digital news/media space. If this is of interest please contact me directly. Alternatively, drop Robert Rees a line (he's a ldnpydojo regular) at robert.rees(a)guardian.co.uk.
