That sounds about correct. http://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ and http://guide.python-distribute.org/ are references which you can use.

Use pypiserver to host your private packages if you don't want to push them to PyPI; or Gemfury if you want a hosted solution. However, if you're developing on python3, you might have to look at the new distutils 'cause it covers (at least tries to cover) the feature set from all those. - d From vsapre80 at gmail.com Mon Jan 13 09:20:41 2014 From: vsapre80 at gmail.com (Vishal) Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 13:50:41 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] Packaging in Python In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello, We have tried the following in the past and seemed to work ok...with some work though. See if it fits you. 1) Use bbfreeze to freeze all your dependencies in one folder 2) Use InnoSetup to create a setup 3) distribute the setup. This will create a single installable distribution for your customers. The first step is the hardest. We used bbfreeze because it worked across Windows and MacOsX. InnoSetup is Windows only. you can also use UPX to compress your bbfrozen stuff. Dont use it after the setup is created. With some effort you can also make the setup such that your UPXed executables/DLLs are restored just after they are installed. This is because UPXed DLLs cannot really be shared across the OS and so at runtime each new instance is a new one. That becomes memory heavy. Hope you get the gist. If not, send me an email.

When we restarted monthly meetup our aim is to have meetup every month under any cost. We are able to do that successfully with average turnout from 10 to 80 people every month. Last month we started workshops as part of meetup. There is good traction for the workshop. This month meetup which is on tomorrow (18-01-2014 http://www.meetup.com/BangPypers/events/125797552/). We are having Introduction to django. There is a need to beginner, advanced level content in meetup. I am looking forward to improve bangpypers meetup content quality. I mean good speakers and interested topic to discuss. One of my favourite meetup is HackandTell (http://www.meetup.com/hack-and-tell/). 90 - 100 turn out ( https://twitter.com/j2labs/statuses/424167741839638528) for every meetup and show what you have done in hardware, software etc ... No how/why to use library X. I am opening this thread to basically discuss how to improve the quality of talks. I seriously believe lot of people who use python for variety of task, also bring out experienced people to speak at meetup. Few people suggested following ideas. 1. Invite only speakers for meetup and flash talks by community. Have 2 good talk per meetup. 2. Meetup should have theme like Web, Deployment. Please feel free to add suggestions. -- *Thanks & Regardskracekumar"Talk is cheap, show me the code" -- Linus Torvaldshttp://kracekumar.com * From sahil2422 at gmail.com Fri Jan 17 18:02:28 2014 From: sahil2422 at gmail.com (sahil chug) Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:32:28 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] [JOBS] Fireeye looking for Python developers Message-ID: Fireeye is looking for Python Developers: Please find the Job Description at this url: http://www.linkedin.com/jobs2/view/10075060?trk=rj_em Send in your CV to *shweetha.krishna at fireeye.com * *About Fireeye:* FireEye, ranked the fastest growing communications/networking company in North America on Deloitte?s 2013 Technology Fast 500?, is transforming the IT security landscape to combat today?s advanced cyber attacks and we want you to be part of our team. *For company details:* http://www.fireeye.com/company/index.html -- *sahil* chug From pydanny at gmail.com Fri Jan 17 21:13:09 2014 From: pydanny at gmail.com (Daniel Greenfeld) Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:13:09 -0800 Subject: [BangPypers] BangPypers has an admin-controlled filter preventing discussion of diversity.

The primary goal of this conference is to collect registration fee by accepting all submitted papers. Several fake papers were published in the conference proceedings. He already earned millions of dollars from the registration fee and is using part of the money for anti-Christmas greetings campaign. http://worldcomp-fake-bogus.blogspot.com has additional information on this campaign. He recently started another new conference CSCI due to his hunger for money http://www.americancse.org Hamid Arabnia failed to reveal the reviews and reviewers' information for all the papers he received, despite repeated requests and challenges. The reason for his failure is there were no reviews and reviewers and he just cheated the research community for more than a decade by announcing that each draft paper is reviewed by two experts. We challenge him to publish these details at the conference website. Where are these experts? Where are these reviews? Soon he comes up with a story that he lost all the reviews and reviewers? information because of computer crash or theft. DBLP stopped indexing these conferences since 2011 and displayed an explicit message; The DBLP Advisory Board decided to discontinue indexing of this conference series. Visit http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/biocomp/index.html as a sample. He was forced to remove his name, the university of Georgia name, and university of Georgia email address from the conference?s contact page because the University has banned him from doing that. Do not spoil your resume by publishing in this bogus conference. Wikipedia?s comments on Hamid Arabnia are at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hamid_Arabnia&oldid Additional information on this conference bogus conference is available by searching internet using the keywords worldcomp fake or Hamid Arabnia fake Apologies for posting to multiple mailing lists. Spreading the news is the only way to stop this conference from harming innocent researchers. Respectfully, Many researchers cheated by Hamid Arabnia?s fake conferences
