From david.lyon at preisshare.net Mon Feb 2 05:20:58 2009 From: david.lyon at preisshare.net (David Lyon) Date: Sun, 01 Feb 2009 23:20:58 -0500 Subject: [BangPypers] Fwd: Python package Management GUI - New Project on Sourceforge Message-ID: Hi all, I am pleased to announce that we have started a new python project on sourceforge. Python Package Manager pythonpkgmgr.sourceforge.net The goal is to provide a cross platform GUI tool that will vastly simplify loading and installing packages under python. - written in python - use WXWidgets for cross compatability - utilises distutils - provide a GUI wrapper for EasyInstall and pip - fetches packages from http://pypi.python.org/pypi using their XML-RPC interface. Feel free to apply to join the project and help us build the solution that we all need and deserve.

Caveat on the caveat - Even this does not seem to work actually. since 'Reply to all" still shows only the group address.

And then go ahead with Django. A continuous n-day program covering both Py+django is no good. Also, a few hours daily is better than 1-full day of training, which prolongs for n-days. -V- http://twitter.com/venkat83 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We had list comprehensions before. Now there are set & dict comprehensions in the language. Let us say there are two lists. For generating the list of unique products of numbers in the list, in Python 2.x, this could be done in 2 approaches. 1. Using a set, >>> l=[1,2,3,4] >>> m=[3,4,5,6] >>> set([x*y for x in l for y in m]) {3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24} 2. Using a dictionary and inserting the values as keys, >>> l=[1,2,3,4] >>> m=[3,4,5,6] >>> d = {} >>> [d.setdefault(x*y, 0) for x in l for y in m] >>> d.keys() [3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24] >>> In Python 3.0, this is straight-forward using "set comprehensions". Set comprehensions are like list comprehensions but with braces replacing the square brackets. And they produce sets, not lists. So the approach (1) in py3k is a one-liner. >>> {x*y for x in l for y in m} {3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24} The approach (2) is also possible, since we now have "dict comprehensions" too! Which means you can build a dict in place without having to define one before and using 'setdefault' etc. >>> d={x*y:0 for x in l for y in m} >>> list(d.keys()) [3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24] Note that the (list(d.keys)) is needed in Py3k since d.keys() no longer return a list as it used to in Py 2.x, but instead returns a generator.

Thats quite an interesting question, which led me to do some research and discussions/ Lets do some benchmarking: # using list comprehension: >>> import timeit >>> timeit.Timer("[i for i in range(1000)]").timeit(number=1000) 0.10951399803161621 # What is the equivalent of the above in regular way? Frankly, you wont find any. Either you will find use of methods or using functions or lambdas. # Lets use a regular function >>> timeit.Timer("for i in range(1000): l.append(i)","l=[]").timeit(number=1000) 0.21927285194396973 You see that is slow and the reason is l.append being called again and again. lets eliminate it. >>> timeit.Timer("for i in range(1000): func(i)","l=[];func=l.append").timeit(number=1000) 0.12902617454528809 >>> # Lets use map do the operation. >>> timeit.Timer("map(func,range(1000))","l=[];func=l.append").timeit(number=1000) 0.12405300140380859 >>> The Best Article I found explaining List Comprehension and performance is this: http://www.sacredchao.net/~piman/writing/listcomp.shtml Pay attention to the Optimization section. The answer for your question is, "List Comprehension is faster than regular way. when it is just that" but for all practical purposes where some method lookups and assignments would be involved, it would hardly matter in terms of speed for LC vs regular way. However, the map, filter way of doing seems faster than List Comprehension. But we got agree that List Comprehension is a neat way of doing things. -- Senthil From orsenthil at gmail.com Mon Feb 9 14:41:12 2009 From: orsenthil at gmail.com (Senthil Kumaran) Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 19:11:12 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] Are comprehensions faster?

More than any performance increase, comprehensions are a much neater and Pythonic way of doing things. A list comprehension for any non-trivial work will often perform much better than a similar map/reduce/lambda solution because it is optimized to produce lists. # List comp version of squaring the list >>> timeit.Timer("l=range(1000);[x*x for x in l]").timeit(number=10000) 1.8384392261505127 # Map version with lambda >>> timeit.Timer("l=range(1000);map(lambda x:x*x, l)").timeit(number=10000) 3.2186849117279053 Part of this is because function calls are one of the costliest of Python operations. List comps often inline the code of function calls in an expression, which reduces the cost. You can use it as a rule of thumb to decide whether to choose a list comp or an equivalent functional solution (map, filter or a regular function) - i.e if the function can be inlined in a list comprehension by removing all function calls into an expression, the list comp will be faster 99% of the time. However if every function can't be inlined, then the list comp might be not as fast or even slower, so it requires testing to choose the solution. And if you are operating on large lists and memory is an issue, *never* use list comps since they are "greedy" and produce the list in one shot. In that case go for an equivalent generator expression or generator function. > > -V- > http://twitter.com/venkat83 > > > _______________________________________________ > BangPypers mailing list > BangPypers at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > > -- -Anand From urskarthiksp at gmail.com Tue Feb 10 06:37:10 2009 From: urskarthiksp at gmail.com (SP Karthik) Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:07:10 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] Job Opening Profile Message-ID: Hello Friends, Moog Inc (Aircraft Group) is looking for Python professionals for their test equipment team.

Interestingly, when he prints it he does not use the 'rot13' method of str objects. But instead does it using custom code and a list comprehension! If anyone had a doubt whether to use list comprehension in their code, they have the answer - it is right there as part of the Zen of Python ...:) > > -- > Senthil > > On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 6:41 PM, Senthil Kumaran wrote: >> In Py3K, >> >>>>> import antigravity >> >> That was Skip, who did that! :) >> >> -- >> Senthil >> >> >> On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 6:39 PM, Anand Balachandran Pillai >> wrote: >>> On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 6:38 PM, Anand Balachandran Pillai >>> wrote: >>>>>>> import __phello__ >>>> Hello world... >>> >>> Apparently, happens only the first time you import it ;) >>> >>>>>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 6:17 PM, Jeff Rush wrote: >>>>> Here is another... >>>>> >>>>>>>> from __future__ import braces >>>>> File "", line 1 >>>>> SyntaxError: not a chance >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Can you find any others? ;-) >>>>> >>>>> -Jeff >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Rajeev Nair wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>> hi. >>>>>> >>>>>> Iam sure many here will be aware of easter eggs in python. >>>>>> >>>>>> For starters here is one.At the prompt type import this >>>>>> >>>>>>>>> import this >>>>>> The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters >>>>>> >>>>>> Beautiful is better than ugly. >>>>>> Explicit is better than implicit. >>>>>> Simple is better than complex. >>>>>> Complex is better than complicated. >>>>>> Flat is better than nested. >>>>>> Sparse is better than dense. >>>>>> Readability counts. >>>>>> Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. >>>>>> Although practicality beats purity. >>>>>> Errors should never pass silently. >>>>>> Unless explicitly silenced. >>>>>> In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess. >>>>>> There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. >>>>>> Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. >>>>>> Now is better than never. >>>>>> Although never is often better than *right* now. >>>>>> If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea. >>>>>> If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea. >>>>>> Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those! >>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>> BangPypers mailing list >>>>> BangPypers at python.org >>>>> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers >>>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> -- >>>> -Anand >>>> >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> -Anand >>> _______________________________________________ >>> BangPypers mailing list >>> BangPypers at python.org >>> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers >>> >> >> >> >> -- >> -- >> Senthil >> > > > > -- > -- > Senthil > _______________________________________________ > BangPypers mailing list > BangPypers at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > -- -Anand From orsenthil at gmail.com Tue Feb 10 14:30:12 2009 From: orsenthil at gmail.com (Senthil Kumaran) Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 19:00:12 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] Python easter eggs :) In-Reply-To: <8548c5f30902100524g5c86bd33i778e0d9f042046e1@mail.gmail.com> References: <4991774E.8030706@taupro.com> <8548c5f30902100508h52c6d76apdf4b86e8c7b4f90b@mail.gmail.com> <8548c5f30902100509m64eb16d9j554fe151f6879525@mail.gmail.com> <7c42eba10902100511v64c790eg26411dd28db4c68@mail.gmail.com> <7c42eba10902100518p5bc5dea9x818c07c463771291@mail.gmail.com> <8548c5f30902100524g5c86bd33i778e0d9f042046e1@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <7c42eba10902100530g376921ddh98f13bf0d1c56052@mail.gmail.com> On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 6:54 PM, Anand Balachandran Pillai wrote: > If anyone had a doubt whether to use list comprehension > in their code, they have the answer - it is right there > as part of the Zen of Python ...:) Thats a good way of looking at things. :) -- -- Senthil From abpillai at gmail.com Tue Feb 10 14:37:37 2009 From: abpillai at gmail.com (Anand Balachandran Pillai) Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 19:07:37 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] Python easter eggs :) In-Reply-To: <7c42eba10902100530g376921ddh98f13bf0d1c56052@mail.gmail.com> References: <4991774E.8030706@taupro.com> <8548c5f30902100508h52c6d76apdf4b86e8c7b4f90b@mail.gmail.com> <8548c5f30902100509m64eb16d9j554fe151f6879525@mail.gmail.com> <7c42eba10902100511v64c790eg26411dd28db4c68@mail.gmail.com> <7c42eba10902100518p5bc5dea9x818c07c463771291@mail.gmail.com> <8548c5f30902100524g5c86bd33i778e0d9f042046e1@mail.gmail.com> <7c42eba10902100530g376921ddh98f13bf0d1c56052@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <8548c5f30902100537s6b7dd41coda0ba22140f1066a@mail.gmail.com> This is not an easter egg, but a joke using the Zen. >>> import this ... >>> love = this >>> this is love True >>> love is True False >>> love is False False >>> love is not True or False True >>> love is not True or False; love is love True True Hopefully, an apt one for the Valentine's day.

On a different note, I think email clients should be designed to handle this behavior irrespective of what is set up by the mailling list. For eg, in mutt, you do 'g' to reply to the list. and 'r' to reply to the sender only, when the standard-reply to set to sender-only. when it is set to the list, I think both 'g' and 'r' will do the same, but there is another way to reply to the sender-only. I am not currently over mutt, so cannot say it accurately. -- Senthil On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 5:14 PM, Parthan SR wrote: > Oops, Sorry I didn't realize that I was sending it to the list :) > - > > With Regards, > > Parthan "technofreak" (2FF01026) > http://technofreak.in > > _______________________________________________ > BangPypers mailing list > BangPypers at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > -- -- Senthil From lawgon at au-kbc.org Wed Feb 11 13:09:19 2009 From: lawgon at au-kbc.org (Kenneth Gonsalves) Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:39:19 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] [JOB] Python programmers required In-Reply-To: <4992B97F.20300@gmail.com> References: <607184447.4861234350259172.JavaMail.root@mail.zeomega.com> <4992B97F.20300@gmail.com> Message-ID: <200902111739.19560.lawgon@au-kbc.org> On Wednesday 11 February 2009 17:11:51 Parthan SR wrote: > > looking for 2 to 4 years experienced Python programmers, > > the details are given below. ?If you are interested, please contact: > > bdeepa AT zeomega.com or mbaiju AT zeomega.com > > Hi, > > Kindly find my resume attached with this mail :) s/softwares/software/ -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ From orsenthil at gmail.com Wed Feb 11 13:19:18 2009 From: orsenthil at gmail.com (Senthil Kumaran) Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:49:18 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] [JOB] Python programmers required In-Reply-To: <200902111739.19560.lawgon@au-kbc.org> References: <607184447.4861234350259172.JavaMail.root@mail.zeomega.com> <4992B97F.20300@gmail.com> <200902111739.19560.lawgon@au-kbc.org> Message-ID: <7c42eba10902110419v7f6c8fb7kd4dd09b0cb102eda@mail.gmail.com> On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 5:39 PM, Kenneth Gonsalves wrote: > s/softwares/software/ E486: Pattern not found: softwares -- Senthil From lawgon at au-kbc.org Wed Feb 11 13:24:22 2009 From: lawgon at au-kbc.org (Kenneth Gonsalves) Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:54:22 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] [JOB] Python programmers required In-Reply-To: <7c42eba10902110419v7f6c8fb7kd4dd09b0cb102eda@mail.gmail.com> References: <607184447.4861234350259172.JavaMail.root@mail.zeomega.com> <200902111739.19560.lawgon@au-kbc.org> <7c42eba10902110419v7f6c8fb7kd4dd09b0cb102eda@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <200902111754.23041.lawgon@au-kbc.org> On Wednesday 11 February 2009 17:49:18 Senthil Kumaran wrote: > On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 5:39 PM, Kenneth Gonsalves wrote: > > s/softwares/software/ > > E486: Pattern not found: softwares it is common on Indian resumes to find the word 'softwares known' instead of 'software known'.

Well, I have created a wiki page here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BangPypers/Meeting21Feb2009 I hope the timing given in wiki (10am to 1pm) is fine for all. (Actually I got some other program in the evening, if more people want this session afternoon, it's Ok my colleagues will be here to help you) If you are coming, please add your name there.

Looks like we need to wake up people ;-) Yes, looks like this is getting diffused :) Instead of a wiki entry which people are often lazy to update, can someone create a calendar entry in his google calendar and send it to the list. That is much quicker. Also, can we have a count for venue affinity. Please reply to this thread indicating your affinity for ThoughtWorks (Indiranagar, Diamond District, Old Airport Road) or ZeOmega (near Lalbagh). Use "+T" for former and +Z for latter or N for neutral.

Let us not assume this is fine. In fact I think this will be inconvenient to most people since Saturday is a holiday and people want their early morning lie-in or rest. Typically we used to have these meetings from 3.00 - 6.00pm or 4.00-7.00pm.

Friend brings his friend and we all are friends. ;) 2) Lets have it at ZeOmega. Baiju took the initiative and has made arrangements for it. The point of this meet up is to get going. Once we have a couple of meetings, then we can think of switching to different places in and around the city. Yeah, I agree with Anand that morning meetings is next to impossible.

If your server load is generated from throughout the world, you will waste time rotating the tree to provide MRU access. Splay trees work best when you expect MRU behaviour, behaviour degrades if tree nodes are accessed randomly - there is no benefit to moving recently accessed nodes upwards to the root. That being said, there must be lots of MRU patterns in various apps where this implementation can be used. srp -- http://saju.net.in From lohit.b at gmail.com Thu Feb 19 11:59:01 2009 From: lohit.b at gmail.com (LOhit) Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:29:01 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] date/time difference between two dates Message-ID: <29117e150902190259j700bc28bp3975fe8c0e7b31dd@mail.gmail.com> Hello All, I am parsing a log file to extract data for the last one week from the current date.

This method takes the string to be parsed and the format of the string. For eg: time_object = time.strptime("Nov 22 15:15:42", "%b %d %H:%M:%S") This will give you a time object on which you can call strftime(format, time_object) where format is any format you want. In your particular case, the year will default to 1900, you may want to explicitly supply the year like strptime("2008 Nov 22 15:15:42", "%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S"). srp -- http://saju.net.in From ruchiryshukla at gmail.com Thu Feb 19 12:19:02 2009 From: ruchiryshukla at gmail.com (Ruchir Shukla) Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:49:02 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] date/time difference between two dates In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1235042342.15032.2.camel@ping> import datetime curr_date = datetime.datetime.now() final_date = curr_date.strftime('%h %d %H:%M:%S') print "::::FINAL DATE:::::",final_date here is the demo to convert the current date into yr needed format > > Message: 4 > Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:29:01 +0530 > From: LOhit > Subject: [BangPypers] date/time difference between two dates > To: bangpypers at python.org > Message-ID: > <29117e150902190259j700bc28bp3975fe8c0e7b31dd at mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > Hello All, > > I am parsing a log file to extract data for the last one week from the > current date.

The time,datetime functions in Python have borrowed a lot in style and semantics from the C language and its time functions (in time.h) header file. For example, >>> import time >>> time.time() 1235042431.3961599 The "time" function mimics its counterpart "time(...)" in the C language. The difference being that in Python it returns both the integer and fractional parts, whereas in C only the integral time is returned. Both strftime and strptime are also derived from their counterparts in C namely "strftime" and "strptime" respectively and do similar jobs. "strftime" - literally means format a time structure to a string with "f" standing for "format". "strptime" - literally means parse a string representing time into a time structure with "p" standing for "parse". Sometimes an understanding of name and semantics of functions go a long way. Being someone who started programming with C (and still continues to do), I am fascinated by how much Python has borrowed from C, the time/datetime modules being perfect examples. Not just these functions, but almost the entire time/datetime functions mimic their C counterparts. --Anand > > > srp > -- > http://saju.net.in > _______________________________________________ > BangPypers mailing list > BangPypers at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > -- -Anand From anandology at gmail.com Thu Feb 19 12:30:09 2009 From: anandology at gmail.com (Anand Chitipothu) Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:00:09 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] date/time difference between two dates In-Reply-To: <8548c5f30902190321t53642394va5f31926a93d34a5@mail.gmail.com> References: <29117e150902190259j700bc28bp3975fe8c0e7b31dd@mail.gmail.com> <499D3DE6.1020706@gmail.com> <8548c5f30902190321t53642394va5f31926a93d34a5@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <41139fcb0902190330s29ce8060gbca47db140cbc1ce@mail.gmail.com> > Not just these functions, but almost the entire time/datetime > functions mimic their C counterparts. I always find datetime module very painful to deal with. May be it is because it has borrowed too much from C instead of being pythonic. Just give one example: >>> import datetime >>> t = datetime.datetime.utcnow().isoformat() >>> t '2009-02-19T11:26:28.750579' Is there any easy way to convert this iso-formatted date string back to datetime?

Looking at this line of your code :- iptc = session.query(c.IPToCountry).selectfirst(and_(c.IPToCountry.c.ip_from = ip)) If I understand the above database query correctly, you are doing an exact match of input IP with ip_from field. There is a range of IP address (translated to 32 bit integer) which map to a country. So, the input IP may fall within a any range. So where clause of query should be ip_from <= ip <= ip_to. Having done the above correction. Suppose you build indexes on both ip_from and ip_to fields. Databases provide two kind of indexes. B-tree indexes and hash index. B-tree is very much similar to binary search tree except that each node has several elements (the number being proportional to the size of disk block on the system). B-tree data structure is static in nature and it is not self adjusting like splay tree where recently accessed elements move near the root of the tree. Moreover, your entire data resides on the disk rather than being in memory. Disk access is order of magnitude slower memory access. Hash index is also static in nature and has problem of collisions. A query like ip_from <= ip <= ip_to would involve range search which B+ tree best provides. It would be search on two indexes i.e ip_from and ip_to and would be accessing data from the disk, would not be self adjusting and hence would be much much slower than the splay tree implementation which is optimized (look at the code) for this kind of country look up for given IP address. Hope, I answer your question. Chetan Pradeep Gowda wrote: > > I'm curious..

Yup, may be I tried not with w.r.t Python, but for C++ and I am not really sure. I had got the DVD via postal mail or at FOSS.in conference. Yeah, It could be for C++ and noticing that Python plugin was not there, I went for Eclipse. Good work Amit on the Docs. I glanced through it and it looks promising.

That is the exact reason I asked the BangPypers. I know and use Python in some of my scripts, for fun & learning, articles and foo bar tasks.. But I don't Python for a living or even a full time hobby. So, my experience with other IDE's is merely having a 10 min or so look.. The largest Python program was a partially complete - Approximate Reasoning software- was pretty large but I managed to manage it via IDLE. That was 1.5 years ago..So, my experience with IDEs is pretty limited.. Your opinions will help me - and the other developers in the Python support for NetBeans, to shape up the future..

Am i correct? I am not sure how to do it in an IDE (for the fact I never used anything other than Emacs) but you should still be able to make use of pdb. It might not be as good as break point function you are looking for, but yes it allows you to step through the code (from the point you call pdb.set_trace()) in an web app. I have used it with Django and Pylons. -- With Regards, Parthan SR "technofreak" GPG Key 2FF01026 Fingerprint 5707 ECBD 8D8D 8E6E 28F8 DFA5 938B D861 2FF0 1026 Weblog http://blog.technofreak.in From banibrata.dutta at gmail.com Fri Feb 27 11:33:14 2009 From: banibrata.dutta at gmail.com (Banibrata Dutta) Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:03:14 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] Do we have any NetBeans IDE for Python users here?

Also, IMHO (and I know wars have started on such topics), from a initial instialltion, download, deployment standpoing, the tight-packed Netbeans was a bit easier to manage than Eclipse. However, my use of Eclipse and Netbeans, and evaluation there-of, was for Java development. For Python development (slight hobby, foo-bar programming), I've found PyScripter (on Windows) to suffice in all respects, but a brief fling with WingIDE showed that you can get that Eclipse mulitple-small window, multi perspective 'type' features. I'm of the genre that likes their window real-estate covered with multiple apps, and not 1 app hogging everything micro-inch of screen space, so PyScripter, or Vim/Shell are what works for me -- but then, it's enough for what I do.

We have mooted this idea here and even tried to pull one but I guess the planning was not good. I think a conference where everything down from concept, planning, motives and finances were open and not controlled by a secret cabal is what we want. It should be for developers, but for anyone who has even written only one line of code in Python. Still, it should not be too generic so that it becomes an unconference. Also, we will accept all fruits and vegetables, including high and low hanging, not just people making omlettes ;) I think, if we can get a discussion going around this topic, we can form ideas concrete enough to organize PyCon India at least in 2010. > > > regards > -- > Ramakrishna Reddy ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

You mean plan for a Sep 09 conference, or Sep 10 ? And shouldn't we form the mandatory top-level conference committee of supreme overlords who will have absolute oversight on everything ? Btw, we would also need a BDFL also, where "B" stands for "Benevolent" not "Benefactor", as it seems to do in some cases. Kenneth, why don't you take the lead here :) Ok, I guess I had enough fun... I really think we should form a plan for this. As a first step I suggest forming a mailing list to discuss only this topic and get Jeff Rush into the conspiracy. I would request Jeff to create a Pycon India discussion mailing list on Python.org if it sounds good to others. > -- > regards > Kenneth Gonsalves > Associate > NRC-FOSS > http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ > _______________________________________________ > BangPypers mailing list > BangPypers at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > Regards, -- -Anand From abpillai at gmail.com Fri Feb 27 12:49:26 2009 From: abpillai at gmail.com (Anand Balachandran Pillai) Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:19:26 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] Open source India In-Reply-To: <6e38f9f00902270344i166d8a9fr8d8f75e8dfedcae8@mail.gmail.com> References: <8548c5f30902270235h7ca83c0ay995baae722b8d174@mail.gmail.com> <200902271613.13358.lawgon@au-kbc.org> <8548c5f30902270250r5ef153c3t4f6b78aae240f514@mail.gmail.com> <8548c5f30902270321r1d753575w1731dad3af92b31@mail.gmail.com> <547db2260902270324j511c3b75r790eabb6ac129684@mail.gmail.com> <6e38f9f00902270344i166d8a9fr8d8f75e8dfedcae8@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <8548c5f30902270349i50b8686dt956f429cabb3e83d@mail.gmail.com> Hi, On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 5:14 PM, Ramdas S wrote: > Last time when we tried which was 2 years back, we actually had three to > four sponsors willing to cough up something like 10-20 K each which was > pretty good to organize a single day event. > > If I remember to do an event in Bangalore at St Joseph College Auditorium, > our budget was around 40-50 K which included a CD and T Shirt each for > approx 200 participants. > > We even planned to charge a delegate fee of Rs 99/ which would have covered > lunch and refreshments, plus housekeeping charges. > > Things fizzled out since few were willing to volunteer beyond a point.

BCB8 is happening in Yahoo premisis... and the "unconference" atmosphere rocks, unless one is a big-fan of the IEEE and ACM style "bow-tie & tuxedo" conferences (ps> I know that IEEE and ACM conferences are not "bow-tie & tuxedo" type, just to make a point about the "open", "unstructured", "flexible" style of information exchange). This could very well be run as BoF, and people get to enjoy the other BCB tracks like "dating", "rubicks cube", "martial arts" etc. :-) -- regards, Banibrata http://www.linkedin.com/in/bdutta -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A 3 day event. I think its high time! If not a Conference or a Track within barcamp, which is next weekend (March 7 and 8) at Yahoo EGL campus, I think we could do with a few more technical sessions of Python. The event this time around is a technology focussed event and many sessions are regisetered even related to python, web frameworks, django etc. I think some people of this list register sessions on things like Py3k porting, Py internals, for instance.

So we expect professionalism here. Which means that delegates would be motivated enough to pay for their travel and accommodation, and also pay a registration fee. Generally in India there is a class of person who only comes if travel, accommodation are looked after and if attendance is free. People should be able to find their own sponsors if they cannot afford it. Secondly, foreign conferences are usually planned at least a year in advance. Whereas we do things 2 months in advance. Here, given it is the first one and that it will not be very ambitious, I think 6 months is ok. Through NRC-FOSS I have a fair amount of organisational resources at my command, But we are Chennai/Ooty based and hence need some one local also. If we can agree on these basics, we can go to the next stage. btw, it is premature to start a fresh mailing list or an organising committee at this stage. Lets keep it on this list - after all there isnt such a huge amount of traffic to be disrupted here. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ From mbaiju at zeomega.net Fri Feb 27 13:27:59 2009 From: mbaiju at zeomega.net (Baiju M) Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:57:59 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] pycon India [was] Open source India In-Reply-To: <200902271753.14816.lawgon@au-kbc.org> References: <8548c5f30902270235h7ca83c0ay995baae722b8d174@mail.gmail.com> <6e38f9f00902270344i166d8a9fr8d8f75e8dfedcae8@mail.gmail.com> <8548c5f30902270349i50b8686dt956f429cabb3e83d@mail.gmail.com> <200902271753.14816.lawgon@au-kbc.org> Message-ID: On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 5:53 PM, Kenneth Gonsalves wrote: > btw, it is premature to start a fresh mailing list or an organising committee at this > stage.

I have come to believe this process of natural evolution :-) So along those lines, if we keep having the BangPypers meeting every month for next couple of months, then we naturally are going to have a PyCon India meetup. What do you think? And btw, it would be good if [pypers for pypers in states_of_india] also come forward and pitch with their ideas and contributions as we evolve.

Nope. Perhaps my statement was confusing. I am in no way allergic to barcamp. I think it is a great concept and it works very well too. What I was suggesting was that we should not be bringing up barcamp everytime one suggests PyCon India. We can definitely discuss Python in barcamp and have a BoF to even discuss PyCon India ideas at Barcamp. My point is that whenever a PyCon India happens, it has to be physically a different entity from Barcamp. PyCon India should have its own identity, so to speak. > >> >> > Ramdas >> > >> > I >> > >> >> >> -- >> -Anand >> _______________________________________________ >> BangPypers mailing list >> BangPypers at python.org >> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > > > > -- > regards, > Banibrata > http://www.linkedin.com/in/bdutta > > _______________________________________________ > BangPypers mailing list > BangPypers at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > > -- -Anand From banibrata.dutta at gmail.com Fri Feb 27 14:11:01 2009 From: banibrata.dutta at gmail.com (Banibrata Dutta) Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:41:01 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] Open source India In-Reply-To: <8548c5f30902270508i2b70fd4cu9cd425e0e4438ecd@mail.gmail.com> References: <8548c5f30902270235h7ca83c0ay995baae722b8d174@mail.gmail.com> <200902271613.13358.lawgon@au-kbc.org> <8548c5f30902270250r5ef153c3t4f6b78aae240f514@mail.gmail.com> <8548c5f30902270321r1d753575w1731dad3af92b31@mail.gmail.com> <547db2260902270324j511c3b75r790eabb6ac129684@mail.gmail.com> <6e38f9f00902270344i166d8a9fr8d8f75e8dfedcae8@mail.gmail.com> <8548c5f30902270349i50b8686dt956f429cabb3e83d@mail.gmail.com> <3de8e1f70902270421k3e746d75hc35f269a570c4668@mail.gmail.com> <8548c5f30902270508i2b70fd4cu9cd425e0e4438ecd@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <3de8e1f70902270511m55ac783fw12a3c9fcdebe8e28@mail.gmail.com> On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 6:38 PM, Anand Balachandran Pillai < abpillai at gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 5:51 PM, Banibrata Dutta > wrote: > > > > > Obviously, it'd be pointless to call a track in Barcamp -- PyCon or > PyCamp. > > Why not use the Barcamp track just for kicking up some dust about PyCamp > and > > PyCon ?

Updated this with a "Community Discussion" section. Please enter individual comments there, so that we don't modify the main body. Later on we can integrate to the main proposal if required. I think if this has to work, a group has to produce something like a formal proposal on what the conference is about.

There are lots of Python fans there. 5) Get a few high profile bloggers in India and abroad to write about it. Personal requests will help. 6) Its extremely important to get the big cos which has some interest in Python involved. say Google. They can help evangelizing the conference. 7) If we are officially Pycon India, then don't worry, there will be automatic links out of most Python related sites. You can bet that anyone who's interested in Python will be visiting one such places in the next 5-6 months. All the above steps will give you 99% of the target audience. I think all these activities will cost absolutely nothing expect some efforts from your home/office in your spare time.

The PyCon (US) used to accept everyone, including newbies; sometimes non-coders also coming as speakers. They have tutorials targeting non-hard-core programmers.

I'm not sure if any of the other python groups in India are planning a conference, if so, I think we should talk with them to decide the venue. If not, we can (atleast this year) hold it in BAngalore somewhere. > The "ProposalForPyConIndia" wiki page has a community discussion > section with varying opinions.

I think it should not become a "Newbies only" thing. People who have been hacking python for a long time should have good reason to come as well as the newbie. > 1. Please clarify/define "dedicated conference". (As in, is the pyconf > open to people like me who "dont code for a living" and yet grok > technical concepts?) *Dedicated* meaning that we're not planing to be part of a larger event like foss.in. *Conference* meaning that we have a structure and some formality as opposed to barcamp. > +1 for the low budget, sans swag concept but some clarity on what is > the scope of the event, since its being held here for the first time, > would be a lot nicer. The conf planning page was a nice read :) so > how about a "volunteers" page ? Youre' right. We should try to keep the costs low. I however don't want to miss anything which we want and hence went for a rather over the board proposal (as you've noted).

Yup, ground events/meets/(un)confs is definitely where the action and (daresay) fun is :) My point was wrt the sponsors POV, who may (or not) come on board in future, especially if promised the stars and left undelivered. Not to suggest this will happen but a smaller set of expectations is easier to achieve. Maybe a stock-taking "after" the event, if need be ?? > I think it should not become a "Newbies only" thing. People who have been > hacking python for a long time should have good reason to come as well as > the newbie. true, this also depends on how the tracks/sessions are planned, speakers, etc... which a structured conf has more control over, unlike say an unconference (the analogy is probably not correct since the focus is different for each event). > Dedicated meaning that we're not planing to be part of a larger event like > foss.in. vielen danke for including low hanging fruit like me :) @Bani : Hi *wave* long time no see :) -- || Vid || http://www.svaksha.com || From rmathews at gmail.com Sat Feb 28 10:48:31 2009 From: rmathews at gmail.com (Roshan Mathews) Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 15:18:31 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] PyCon India Proposal In-Reply-To: <12470af00902280144n3e38b762g8dd5a9af627285ad@mail.gmail.com> References: <9963e56e0902270531v25e10a0ftbd45b3ffa0cc06fa@mail.gmail.com> <200902272001.59940.lawgon@au-kbc.org> <9963e56e0902271958w2e0791e5i160b7416e9ffe1cb@mail.gmail.com> <12470af00902272237t857ce04v68ab055811961368@mail.gmail.com> <9963e56e0902272326r5d98f02dy6055ca333ac7cd14@mail.gmail.com> <12470af00902280144n3e38b762g8dd5a9af627285ad@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <1c4dc2780902280148m34797fbcn10b84730b5c6fa0f@mail.gmail.com> On Sat, Feb 28, 2009 at 3:14 PM, VidA wrote: > Hi, > Maybe we should stick to the Wiki for the discussion with maybe weekly reminders here that the discussion is going on there. :) ~Roshan From noufal at gmail.com Sat Feb 28 15:21:02 2009 From: noufal at gmail.com (Noufal Ibrahim) Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 19:51:02 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] Reply from David Goodger about PyCon Message-ID: <9963e56e0902280621v6f42fbf8n817ee397cbbc6520@mail.gmail.com> Greetings people, I have pasted below the mail I received from David G. when I asked him about the conference.

Noufel, thanks for the initiative taken. But I guess the further communication to PSF done with a prior consent with the BangPypers members. I hope we dont rush things up and all the stakeholders in this conference. Let us prioritise what should be done or can be avioded . Before we start communicating aggressively. We need to collectively finilaze on many tasks and sub tasks. We can meet up on the #Bangpypers on say Tuesday 4:30 PM IST. Eg. o Programme Committee needs to be formed o Call for Papers. ( how do we peer review the talks, tutorials , unlike Fsck.in, lets have a open review system of the talks) o Date ( Call for Vote) o Venue o Communication to communities -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090 From ramkrsna at gmail.com Sat Feb 28 20:34:25 2009 From: ramkrsna at gmail.com (Ramakrishna Reddy) Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2009 01:04:25 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] PyCon India Proposal In-Reply-To: <12470af00902272237t857ce04v68ab055811961368@mail.gmail.com> References: <9963e56e0902270531v25e10a0ftbd45b3ffa0cc06fa@mail.gmail.com> <200902272001.59940.lawgon@au-kbc.org> <9963e56e0902271958w2e0791e5i160b7416e9ffe1cb@mail.gmail.com> <12470af00902272237t857ce04v68ab055811961368@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: On Sat, Feb 28, 2009 at 12:07 PM, VidA wrote: > On Sat, Feb 28, 2009 at 09:28, Noufal Ibrahim wrote: >>> > > I checked out the page.

I guess we'll take it for a discussion on the IRC . irc.freenode.org. #BangPypers > 1.

Its just a two day old wiki draft. give it some time to mature. pythonists are very energetic. wait and watch its gonna be awesome. > 2. Would this be held only in Bangalore or would it be possible for > local groups in different cities to hold their own 1/2/3 day events? Usually the Original Pycon is given to user groups , who bid for it. we'll BangPypers isnt still a society. So we dont hold an authority .But we are intent to have a 3 day event. atleast I'm a +1 for a 3 day event. As long as people hold the event to spread python, I'm not complaining. > The "ProposalForPyConIndia" wiki page has a community discussion > section with varying opinions.

Thats an interesting point. learn how to program ;-) It pays to be a python programmer. We need to discuss it over IRC. Ofcourse its open to everybody. Unless we plan to hire bouncers to kick people out after taking their entry fee. another discussion , Entry Fee , is also a topic for discussion. > +1 for the low budget, sans swag concept but some clarity on what is > the scope of the event, since its being held here for the first time, > would be a lot nicer. ?The conf planning page was a nice read :) so > how about a "volunteers" page ?
