Hi all,

Was trying a small code to send email from a server

import smtplib

server = smtplib.SMTP('125.x.x.x.', 465)
server.starttls()
server.login("test at xx.com", "xxxx")

msg = "TEST MAIL!"
server.sendmail("test at xx.com", "test at xx.com", msg)
server.quit()

But getting failed with following error. Couldn't debug the reason why it's
happening.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_email.py", line 3, in <module>
    server = smtplib.SMTP('125.x.x.x', 465)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 256, in __init__
    (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)

smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected: Connection unexpectedly closed

Would like to know your thoughts

Message-ID: <CAO5c=mmvQMWr6WYHU=E0k+G9scKdjX7oAUWSUJSMu6-2nX=7cA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi

BangPypers is conducting a paid workshop on "Interfacing with Python" [0]
on 15th July, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The objective of the workshop is to understand how various sensors and
actuators are accessed and controlled from a Linux-based embedded system.
We hope this will be a starting point for people who want to build
connected and IoT-enabled embedded systems using Linux.

Requirements:
----
1. Laptop with GNU/Linux, Windows, OSX installed. Two free USB ports on the
laptop.
2. Programming experience in Python
3. Putty or any similar ssh client installed.

The complete agenda for the workshop is on meetup page [1]. The workshop is
an excellent opportunity to start learning about the hardware side of the
world from the experts.

The ticket fee is 100 INR. You can track the expense here [2].

Feel free to contact us about the workshop. Share the news [3][4].

Subject: [BangPypers] Need help with Pydev installation in Eclipse
Message-ID: <CADo7drhQNQtDEJB5NkO77weWHzYpYf_nTVgT=47q=VxCq9zXtQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Team,

I'm a newbie in the world of Python. I came across this group via
Python.org.

I configured Pydev in Eclipse and have also installed cucumber plugin for
Eclipse to write BDD programs. I have also installed "behave" via the PIP
command.

To start with, i imported an existing project into eclipse.

But each time i right click on the feature file (dirst_behave.feature) and
Run as "Cucumber feature", i get the error -

"Launch configuration first_behave.feature references non-existing project
python_behave_template-master."

I tried remapping the Python interpreter, but no luck. Request the group
members to guide me on this issue. I've spent almost a day looking for a
resolution, but unable to get any solution.

Subject: [BangPypers] August Talks: Call For Speakers
Message-ID: <CAO5c=mkNE35_V8pCcUzLrs7O4WWjAYD=D6fsdP2G3ELvJ7c8oQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi

The next month, "BangPypers Talks" is on August 19th [0]. The theme for the
meetup is "Machine Learning Techniques." The talks can be in any domain.
You can speak about Image classifiers, NLP, neural network design, use
cases and success stories.

Machine learning/deep learning is a heavy math subject. To understand how
machine learning works, various sub-related fields exposure is a mandate.
BangPypers caters to a broad audience, with different work and academic
titles. Our audience has an abundant curiosity to learn. We know as a
speaker; you spend a significant time to prepare and share your wisdom with
the crowd. That's an incredible skill to possess and improve. We appreciate
the efforts by all speakers. Because of your work, our audience learn,
apply them at work, attend again, spread the news, and their friends attend
the meetups.

>From our last meetup feedback [1] and observation, the organizing team
would like to suggest some guidelines for speakers.

1. Share the prerequisite for attending the talk. Suggest preferred reading
materials and videos if any.
2. Use different aids to teach a concept. Show the math, Python code for
the math and visual elements like Graphs, diagrams, charts in continuation.
It's easier for the audience to grok the concept when math, code, and
visuals go in hand together.
3. Spend 5 minutes in the end in summarizing the key concepts.
4. In previous meetups, the maximum talk duration was 45 minutes. For the
series, the maximum talk slot duration is up to one hour and fifteen
minutes. It's lengthy. The reason to extend the talking slot is to allow
the speaker to build the foundation, explain the hard things, compare
different models and engage with the audience. This doesn't mean, all the
talks should take an hour and fifteen minutes. Proposing talk with ten, or
thirty minutes is acceptable.

In case you would like to give a talk, please reply with following details.

1. Title
2. Description
3. Prerequisites to attend the talk with links for audience to prepare
4. Slot Duration

If you like to host the future meetup at your work place, please contact
us. You can read about what we look from the host in "Venue" section from
one of the previous blog post [2].

We would like to conduct Machine learning, deep learning workshops in
future. If this interests you please contact us.

Hi Pradeep,

I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your query.

I'm also digressing a bit from the topic with some advice/rant (feel free
to ignore), but I feel it is important for you to know.

I don't know if you came across tutorials which advice you to use Pydev
with Python as a best-practice/starting-point (wild guess, since you are
just starting off), but I wouldn't be surprised if that info is still
floating around old tutorials, videos or even class room sessions by
trainers in the field.

This stuff has been around for more than 10+ years. There probably was a
time when Pydev, Komodo Edit etc were considered `advanced` IDEs to work
with Python. Things have progressed A LOT since then.

Since you are new to Python, I'd request that you explore using Python on
CLI first:

[1] Use virtualenv & virtualenvwrapper. These are your friends when it
comes to isolating environments. Get to know these inside out, and how pip
works with these envs.
[2] Begin by invoking your scripts, tests etc from CLI. Get to know how
python discovers packages, PYTHONPATH etc.
[3] You could use SublimeText or VSCode as a basic IDE. Use the IDE only to
write/edit code to begin with.

Once you are comfortable doing these from CLI (yes, it is almost as easy as
any IDE), you'll find it easy to map and debug IDE config issues when you
try out a more wholesome IDE like Pydev for E, PyCharm, VSCode etc. You'll
discover that you'll probably need an IDE only to do hard-core debugging
and inspection with breakpoints etc.

Thanks,
Praveen
