In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Ramesh Rajagopal" Date: Jul 16, 2015 3:30 PM Subject: Fwd: Need a help on reviewing a python code. To: Cc: Hello All, It would be very helpful, if you can review a small code which I had written in python. It is purely for my personal development perspective. I had a got an assignment from a company, they rejected my assignment without exactly stating what is the problem with my code. They just conveyed that it doesn't look like a pythonic way. I would like to understand my mistakes and improve on this. It would be good if you can help me on this. I am attaching the problem.txt(which has the assignment details, we need to make assumptions), then solution as alignment.tar.gz file. Looking forward you reply. Regards, Ramesh -------------- next part -------------- Create a command line application to print out planets that are aligned. The application should work for an arbitrary solar system. The planets in the solar system will be define in a configuration file with the following format, system: - name: planet-A theta: 0 radius: 1 period: 20 - name: planet-B theta: 0 radius: 5 period: 30 - name: planet-C theta: 2 radius: 10 period: 60 So each planet has a name, an initial angle (theta) given in radians, a radius from the sun that it orbits, and length of time it takes to orbit the sun (period). Assume that the orbit of each planet is a circle centered on the sun. The position of each planet can be described by a radius and an angle. The radius is constant, but the angle varies with time, i.e. at time 't' the angle of a planet is given by, theta + 2 pi t / period The application will not determine the alignments itself. Instead, the application must be able to load a set of plugins at runtime that will determine whether a particular configuration of planets is 'aligned' according to whatever definition the plugin uses for alignment. The application must take arguments for the configuration file, a list of plugins to load, and the time to calculate the alignment for. For example, ./alignment.py --config system.yaml --plugins ~/foo.py ~/bar.py ~/baz.py --time 10 and the output will have the format, foo: planet-A, planet-B bar: planet-B, planet-C bar: planet-A, planet-B baz: planet-A, planet-B, planet-C where the application prints out the aligned planets on a new line with the name of the plugin that return the alignment. The application is expected to well documented and clear. Provide explanations for the design decisions (e.g. provide rationale for why you did or did not use a particular package). Where there is ambiguity in the problem, state the assumptions you used to solve it. The application should support versions 2.7.x and 3.3.x (or greater) of python. The application should come with a simple setup.py for installation, and an example plugin that treats planets as aligned if they are within 5 degrees of one another relative to the sun -------------- next part -------------- A small commandline application which sets up arbitory solar system based on the config file provided. It also prints the alignment of the planets based on plugins provided. Installing the application: -------------------------- a) tar xjvf alignment-0.1.tar.gz b) cd alignment c) python setup.py install How to run the application: -------------------------- python alignment.py --config --plugins --time 10 e.g: python alignment.py --config plugins/sample.yaml --plugins plugins/five_degree_alignment.py --time 10 Command Line Alignment Application ---------------------------------- This is simple command line application which sets up arbitory solar system based on the provided configuration files. It also allows to run the plugin during runtime to decide the alignment of planets based on the decision made by plugins. Design Decisions: 1) Arbitory Solar System is setup based on the given system config file. It also exposes APIs for dynamically adding planet and removing planet from the solar system. Hence in order to add/search/remove quickly, the planet information has been kept under dictionary. 2) Current Arbitory Solar System planet's doesn't orbit the sun. It just gives information from the initial position where it will be after the 'time' ticks. This can be extended by having start() method to orbit the sun. 3) It is assumed that the period and 'time' ticks comes from the command line, has been considered having some units of measurement. This assumption makes the calculation easy without need to conversion. 4) InputParser class has been created to handle multiple file formats. Current one just supports yaml parser, since we are dealing with only yaml files as of now. This class can be extended to parse different file format as well. 5) It is assumed the plugin's file will make all the decision about whether two planets are aligned with respect to the sun. Only desired property from the plugin that it has to expose, print_alignment() function which prints the alignment of planets at the point. It is with respect to plugin to decide and print the alignment of the planets based on the input provided by alignment application. This gives the flexiblity for the plugin developer to change their decision as an when required. 6) Module "pyyaml" is used for parsing *.yaml file 7) Module "argparse" is used for command line parsing.

Message-ID: In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Very minor comments. 1. planet.py: from math import pi as PI Unless there is a name conflict with the identifier being used. You could avoid using "as" in the import. Here I guess, you wanted constants in capitals (perhaps a linter tool required). In that case, you could write it as import math; and use it is math.pi 2.input_parser.py Keep the import yaml at the top along with other imports. There is no reason to have it hidden in the methods. 3. cmdline_parser.py : You don't need a trailing blackslash here. self.parser.add_argument("--config", dest='config_file', \ Since the break is happening within "(", the implicit line joiners will take care of having all the arguments within (). 4. arbitory_solar_system.py: ab_solar_system = ArbitarySolarSystem(config='system.yaml') You could assign CONSTANTS to various .yaml files. That said, everything else looks good to me and code was pythonic too. I believe, you used some tools like pep8, flake8 to do automatic style fixes.

We should not be changing the intention of meetup by providing space for hiring, it might turn out being a commercial space. Am afraid allowing companies to talk about themselves and their job opportunities might create conflict of interest with the company providing space for our meetup which may not be good for us. I would say lets stick to knowledge sharing and discussion about python for meetup We already have job page on python India website ( http://python.org.in/jobs/). We should plan to work on that page instead. Otherwise we can have Bangpypers newsletter where we send meetup details along with job opportunities as well. But my question is What does Bangpypers get in return for publishing about X company job requirement?

True but I think this distinction between "community" and "companies" is not as clear cut as it's made out to be. Companies do donate things like office space etc. and they get publicity and possibly, hires. To formalise that a little and to get them more involved sounds, to me, like a good thing. And, as a general rule, it's good to assume that the companies are "good" community players and design the meeting for good people. If we find someone trying to take advantage of the whole thing and poisoning the ecosystem, we can always do something then.

As a thought exercise consider this. Company A offers the space for the meetup. On the day of the meetup the host ensures that there is adequate material/swag/branding available that provide a guidance to "available opportunities", "how to apply" etc. And if you stop and think about it, this is not too far fetched. For example, at my day job, the external facing areas have branding material which make it easy to identify with specific projects/products. Asking companies to create anechoic chambers as a pre-condition for hosting is somewhat untenable. > I would say lets stick to knowledge sharing and discussion about python for > meetup > > We already have job page on python India website ( > http://python.org.in/jobs/).

I agree with Vijay. Let those stuff happen informally. Let meet up be places for learning and sharing. Commercialising them will take them in the path of typical RoR conferences.

Companies are not interested in "sharing knowledge". They're interested in hiring and making money as it should be. Employees from companies share knowledge and do things like what you've said and they sometimes move between organisations. A user group meetup is a fine place to do this. I just feel that we shouldn't get too "leftist" about the way we speak to companies. There is some place for commercial interests in a healthy community. A position where the "community" and the "companies" are completely separate and even confrontational is not sustainable. > It might even endup becoming Job Fair where people(carry resumes) and > companies(Carry boxes) come for hiring not to discuss about python. I don't see the point in shooting down an idea based on an extreme doomsday scenario. If people start doing this, the organisers can stop it. My expectation is that *most* of the companies get how the ecosystem works and will respect it. There will be a few people, probably non tech folks who just focus on hiring who might screw things up but we can always tell them to stop rather than cancel the whole project up front. In either case, it's really great that such a possibility is even being discussed. The people working on bangpypers really deserve our appreciation for bringing the whole thing upto this level and going forward, I'm sure it'll only get better.

If a company offers space to you to conduct meeting and competing companies go there to make 10 minute presentation of job offers, then companies will have a second thought to offer space.

How about "A company that sponsors a meetup, formally gets 10 minutes at the end" ?

Company people as individuals are encouraged to talk about open source contributions while giving a talk , and job offerings in a very subtle way . 5. bottom line offering jobs is good for ecosystem we are not living in Utopian society and while the rules of engagement are agreed upon by both parties , this should be encouraged to a level not to get overwhelmed by the whole concept . ?cheers? -Satya Satyaakam.net | fossevents.in | From anandpillai at letterboxes.org Mon Jul 20 08:28:50 2015 From: anandpillai at letterboxes.org (Anand B Pillai) Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 11:58:50 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] Connecting developers and companies In-Reply-To: References: <878uabtl69.fsf@nibrahim.net.in> Message-ID: <55AC9522.6080006@letterboxes.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Monday 20 July 2015 11:43 AM, Sreekanth S Rameshaiah wrote: > > This is not correct.

How the knowledge is used then - to prepare for an interview or to do an open source project or whatever - is up to the people who attend it. It is not the right forum for a direct pitch by companies. Imagine a scenario where startup X is hosting a BangPypers meetup. Assume an employee of startup Y is pitching for his company at the end of the meetup. Let us say Startup Y happens to be a direct competitor of startup X. How do you think that will work ? It would be take a lot of effort to co-ordinate the logistics for this I am afraid the focus will move away from the core - the talks and meeting other like minded people.

Personally, I like the meet-ups for the information they provide as well as chatting with other programmers. Allowing companies/startups to present their content would not fit the actual purpose of the meet ups. But, there's the portion of companies allowing us to meet at their locations, to which we can allow the hosting company to present their content as compared to allowing other companies to come up too. For example, Company A is hosting our meet-up, so by default Company A gets the chance to place their content, availing this chance will be at the sole disposal of Company A. But in case Company B wishes to present too, they will have to get prior permission from Company A along with the organizers of the meet-up.

I'm not around in Bangalore now-a-days, so I ask one or the other colleague to help provide space. Noufal has described at ThoughtWorks position on such meetups. I've been chaperoning one tech meetup or the other at the ThoughtWorks offices since 2006. I discuss with other folks who provide venues to such meetups. We techies at our organizations "get it" that other technies need space for a meetup. We ask internally for space, and we then chaperone the meetup. Once in a while, there are the odd non-techies who view the whole meetup as a major marketing opportunity. Depending upon the community, this may or may not be fine. Once in a while - for other meetups like the Android user group hosted at ThoughtWorks- some other company has even sponsored Pizzas. In return, they were given a 10 minute slot to talk about their product. No one in the audience ever felt that they were the product or felt offended in any way. If anything, such sessions once in a while have even helped inspire confidence that there are companies making products and offering services using such technologies and in this space. Fully aware that at the moment I'm inactive and am an arm-chair spectator at best, I propose that the active community explore providing a 10 minute slot for companies to speak about themselves and their products, and if anyone feels that it's getting over commercialized, then discuss how to address it.
