Subject: [BangPypers] PythonExpress for school students
Message-ID: <CAHX9ajS=wBz8gDywK8iCBwFAM_xUjxWpxA43kYmaX6E7KUkwjQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

During PyCon India 2016 open space, we discussed about conducting workshops
for school students.
Teaching school students might be a bit challenging as they have minimal
knowledge on programming. Real time and visual results will excite them to
learn programming language and try things on their own.

We can conduct python workshops with the help of low cost single board
computers like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ExpEYES or something similar to it
which will be helpful in teaching and also make the students understand.

Since the cost of these single board computers are less, its affordable for
students to buy on their own to pursue it further.

I would request everyone to share your thoughts on the same and help in
building the workshop topics and content for school students.

Thanks,
Vijay

Hi All,

Last 2 months were wonderful, conducting workshops all over India for
almost free of cost.

We have 12 upcoming workshops and looking forward to conduct more workshops
and spread love of Python. Kudos to all tutors and volunteers without whom
this would not have been possible.
We have reached out to 11 states and 135 colleges, there are lot more
colleges and students we have to reach out to.

Request everyone to help us connect to more colleges. You can talk to your
college and the colleges you have contact with and tell them how Python is
useful in your day to day work and how important it will be for students to
learn Python.

Workshops are for free of cost, we only look for Tutor's travel expense
from college in case Tutor has to travel to a remote location.

In case of any queries, please do drop mail to '*contact at pythonexpress
dot in'*.

Thanks,
Vijay

Lists are like vectors (since you're from a C++ background). They can 
expand/contract depending on data and are also heterogeneous meaning 
that all the elements needn't be of the same type. It's a flexible 
container for holding things. Lists are often iterated over (e.g. for i 
in all_documents) or indexed (e.g. students[5] to get the fifth 
student).

Tuples are more like C structures in that they're used to hold a few 
related things together. They have several behaviours similar to a list 
(can be indexed, iterated over etc.) but are not mutable (you can't 
add/remove elements from them). However, they're often used differently. 
They're used as C structs but without names for the fields. So, points 
in 2D space (x,y) are a good candidate for a tuple or maybe a colour in 
RGB colourspace denoted by (r,g,b).

For a more in depth discussion, you should look at the official python  
tutorial at https://docs.python.org/3.6/tutorial/

Read this StackOverFlow answer:

Also read the links referenced in it.

You really should read through the documentation and look for answers on
StackOverflow. You will easily find a lot of information there.

 improving Gensim tutorials
Message-ID: <CABobxkErqHaWP=BdyoGP9Qb=i5B3Ka=Na+oRQLdFpV1iRsbK8g@mail.gmail.com>

Dear BangPypers community,

Continuing from a successful PyCon Delhi sprint
<https://in.pycon.org/cfp/dev-sprint-2016/proposals/learn-machine-learning-by-improving-gensim-tutorials~avYLe/>,
we will be running a coding sprint in Bangalore on Gensim
<https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim> open-source machine learning
package for natural language processing.

*Time:* 16 Oct 12-5pm
*Location*: Jaaga Study at Hamsah Farm <http://jaaga.in/study/>


*Description:*

Gensim is a machine learning package for natural language understanding.
For example, it can tell you the main topics of a web-page. It has word2vec
and doc2vec machine learning algorithms

During the coding sprint we plan to re-work our tutorials. See them listed
on our github page at
https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim/blob/develop/tutorials.md Come
to the sprint and improve them or create new ones! If you are an advanced
user and would like to contribute that would be great too.

*Prerequisites:*

Open to beginners.

No machine learning experience necessary.

Some Python knowledge required. You need to know what a for loop is but no
need to know what zip* does.

*Environment setup:*

Python 3

pip3 install cython gensim sklearn pandas matplotlib nltk pyemd jupyter

The tutorials that need improvement are in
https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim/blob/develop/tutorials.md

*Organiser:*

Lev Konstantinovskiy is a maintainer of Gensim. He is an expert in natural
language processing, is a Python and Java developer. Lev has extensive
experience working with financial institutions and is RaRe Technologies'
manager of open source communities including gensim, an open source machine
learning toolkit for understanding human language.

Hi all,

While all of us are waiting for next year's PyCon India, a group of Python
community members decided to meet at the beginning of the year  :)
It quickly became apparent this should also be open to the community.
Therefore, another 4 days of PyCon will be held in Pune during
February, 16-19th, 2017 so the Indian Python Community and friends can meet
again during spring. :)

There will be 2 days of talks, and 2 days of devsprints. While the details
are still being finalized, the call for
volunteers is open. PyCon is a community conference and run by volunteers.
If you think you will
able to help out in some ways, feel free to submit your contact details in
the following form [1]. The
organizing team is being formed from volunteers as well and will make sure
everyone is contacted back.

There will be opportunities to join in as on-site volunteers, but this mail
is going out early to give everyone
a chance to make a successful PyCon for the community.
