finally got it to work:

from xlwt import Workbook, easyxf

book = Workbook()

sheet1 = book.add_sheet('sheet1')

cat_cell = easyxf('pattern: pattern solid, fore_colour orange')


workbook = open_workbook ("merged_manip_OUT.xlsx")
sheet = workbook.sheet_by_index(0)
#print sheet.cell_value(0,0)
print sheet.nrows
print sheet.ncols


##for col in range (sheet.ncols):
##  print  sheet.cell_value(0,col)

print '------'
data = [[sheet.cell_value(r,c) for c in range(sheet.ncols)] for r in range
(sheet.nrows)]
print len(data)


header = data[0]
data = data[1:]
print len(data)

print '------'



for x, row in enumerate(data):
    if str(row[-2]).strip() =='Agree':
        for y,value in enumerate(row):
            sheet1.write(x,y,value,cat_cell)
    else:

Made a slight correction to the code:

from xlrd import *
from xlwt import Workbook, easyxf

book = Workbook()

sheet1 = book.add_sheet('sheet1')

cat_cell = easyxf('pattern: pattern solid, fore_colour orange')


workbook = open_workbook ("merged_manip_OUT.xlsx")
sheet = workbook.sheet_by_index(0)
#print sheet.cell_value(0,0)
print sheet.nrows
print sheet.ncols


##for col in range (sheet.ncols):
##  print  sheet.cell_value(0,col)

print '------'
data = [[sheet.cell_value(r,c) for c in range(sheet.ncols)] for r in range
(sheet.nrows)]
print len(data)


header = data[0]
data = data[1:]
print len(data)

print '------'



for x, row in enumerate(data):
    if str(row[-2]).strip() =='Agree':
        for y,value in enumerate(row):
            sheet1.write(x,y,value[0],value[1],cat_cell)
    else:
        for y,value in enumerate(row):
            sheet1.write(x,y,value[0],value[1])

book.save('merged_manip_OUT_mod.xls')

I am only trying to print the first two values of each row in the nested
list data to the output file (for starters). Error msg is:


Traceback (most recent call last):

i want the first element value[0] to be a string and the second element
value[1] to be an int. I tried doing str(value[0]) and int(value[1]) but
again got a similar error msg.

Got stuck again. Please help. I only wanted to color the values of the
nested list 'data' after they have been printed to an excel sheet based on
whether the second last element in each row of the nested list data has the
value 'Agree'. After giving the code and the error msg, i give the value of
data[0] and data[1] to give you an idea of the data structure.

This is my code:

from xlrd import *
from xlwt import Workbook, easyxf

book = Workbook()

sheet1 = book.add_sheet('sheet1')

cat_cell = easyxf('pattern: pattern solid, fore_colour orange')


workbook = open_workbook ("merged_manip_OUT.xlsx")
sheet = workbook.sheet_by_index(0)
#print sheet.cell_value(0,0)
print sheet.nrows
print sheet.ncols


##for col in range (sheet.ncols):
##  print  sheet.cell_value(0,col)

print '------'
data = [[sheet.cell_value(r,c) for c in range(sheet.ncols)] for r in range
(sheet.nrows)]
print len(data)


header = data[0]
data = data[1:]
print len(data)

print '------'


for x, row in enumerate(data):
    if str(row[-2]).strip() =='Agree':
        for y,value in enumerate(row):
            sheet1.write(x,y,row[0],row[1],cat_cell)
    else:
        for y,value in enumerate(row):
            sheet1.write(x,y,row[0],row[1])

book.save('merged_manip_OUT_mod.xls')

***********

This is the error message:

Notice that the string values have all been converted to unicode string
values by xlrd.

My company (SurveyMonkey) has hired several graduates of:

http://www.hackbrightacademy.com

It's a 12 week intensive course in web development using Python for women. It's in San Francisco. 

If your friend is interested, I could help introduce her to one of our HackBright alumni, if she wants to ask them questions about it.

I heartily recommend Hackbright Academy as well, based on all the women
I've met from there.

If all she wants is a book, I know a lot of people have had success with:
http://www.amazon.com/Python-Programming-Introduction-Computer-Science/dp/1887902996

There are Python classes on Code Academy, Udacity, Cousera, code.org (I
think), etc. However, I haven't seen as many people make it all the way
through those.

My introduction to Python one year ago was through the Python Codeacademy
track <http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/python>. It's free, has a user
friendly interface, and is easy to start, stop and pick back up again. For
someone completely new to programming, it took me about 3 months to finish.
I thought the course did a good job explaining the basics, and pointing the
student to important outside resources like the Python documentation. Also,
since it's free and can be started very quickly at any time, it's a great
way to see how much you actually enjoy programming without spending any
money.

I'm about to start a more intermediate 8-week course on April 8th (luckily
paid for by my employer) at UCSC Extension called Python for
Programmers<http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625&SectionID=5274428>.
I'll try to followup on this thread after I'm done with some notes on my
experience there.

Glad you were able to get it working. Out of curiosity, what is that data
you're working with above?

Thanks you all for your (ok, predictable) high level of supportiveness (one
of the reasons I steer people towards python as a community as much as i do
as a beautiful programming language).

As a friend I'm both going to do what I can to mellowly teach (ie, hang out
over a glass of nice red) and/or steer her towards more qualified people
than myself for better education, as I have a high level of familiarity
with just the basics of python, not by choice.  I don't think she's going
to be the champion to conquer the GIL, but as a user of a language picking
between PHP ruby perl java etc, python seems like a great first language to
me.

I appreciate the suggestions.   Thanks.  See most of you soon probably.

Hi,

At UCSC-Extension in Santa Clara, we're starting an evening class, designed
just for your friend, on April 17.

Here's our Spring assortment of classes:

Several new Python classes are starting for experienced programmers and for
novices to programming at UCSC-Extension Silicon Valley's labs in Santa
Clara, right across 101 from the Great America sign.

FOR EXPERIENCED PROGRAMMERS

Next Monday evening we begin the 9 week course for experienced programmers,
which gives students experience in all core concepts of Python:

The Programmers' course is low-pressure, but fast-paced, where students
learn and practice core concepts and Pythonic thinking.  To join any of
these Python classes, you should be well-practiced at programming in some
other language.

No beginning programmers please, but you can certainly be new to Python.
 If you are beginner, find your class below.

http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625&SectionID=5274428

ONLINE CLASSES:

If you would prefer an online class, you will enjoy:

http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625&SectionID=5274068

The online site for this course is open now and new enrollments will be
accepted until April 8.

FOR NOVICES

For 6 Thursday evenings, starting April 17, we will hold the "Introduction
To Programming For Beginners, Using Python" class which prepares
programming novices to take the Python For Programmers' class:

http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=3576274&SectionID=5274427

If you have programming experience in any language skip the Beginners class
listed above and join a Programmers' class.

----
All our Python courses are hands-on with short lectures, and lots of
exercises where we study the solutions after some lab time.

Questions are always welcome; discussion and pair-programming are
encouraged.

Please come, and send students!

---

And, the first quarter of the professional course is available for $20 at
Udemy.Com!  I'm so busy that I can't say when the rest of the course will
be there, but I'm working on it.

https://www.udemy.com/pythonic-python-part-i-the-basics/

I hope you find one of these classes useful to your schedule and your taste.

Marilyn Davis

Bay piggies,
Hope you are doing well!
Below is info on an epic role I am looking to get the right person
on-board. this
is a hands on role where an expert level java and senior level Python knowledge
will assure me you can land running and like it here.

Oh yeah were are about to IPO withing 12 month so...

Position: Sr. Staff Software Engineer

Area: Risk Engineering

Hiring Manager: Head of Data Engineering

Work Location: Menlo Park, CA

Type: Full-time

Who Are We?

We are the partner of choice to the 23 million underbanked Hispanics in the
United States who need access to responsible and empowering financial
products and services. Unlike mainstream institutions, we provide loans
without collateral to clients who lack credit history by using its
sophisticated risk-scoring system that emphasizes a client's true capacity
to afford a loan. we engage with customers in their neighborhoods, in their
language, and with familiar faces from the community to build relationships
of trust that lead to a lifetime of growth and prosperity.

We are a for-profit institution that believes in the moral collateral of
its clients and is committed to providing opportunities to help its clients
achieve their dreams. Since its founding in 2005, the company has made more
than 350,000 loans, extending $900 million in capital to underserved
Hispanic families through more than 90 locations across California,
Illinois and
Texas and helping improve credit scores for more than 87 percent of its
loan customers. We strongly believe in building a great business while also
achieving social good, and seek to hire people who share our values.

The Opportunity...

Our customers have not been understood by big banks or allowed entry into
the mainstream financial market. As a consequence, we can't use traditional
tools because there simply aren't any that serve these customers.
Therefore, we need a team of talented engineers who dream of data, simple
user experiences and the endless possibility of applying new tech to build
the algos and internal / consumer facing platform to enable socially
responsible lending practices -- from scratch.

A little bit about you...

You love writing code that makes are real positive impact on people's
lives.

You love working in a fast-paced startup environment.

You are respected by other engineers for solid code and think ahead in your
design.

You are comfortable with agile development and love shipping rapidly in
small increments.

You take ownership of code, refactor code to make it better, and help
ensure code is well tested.

You are curious, creative and constantly think of new ways to improve what
we do.

You have no ego and a willingness to do whatever it takes to ship product.

And of course, the skills...


   -

   8+ years of industry software development
   -

   5+ years of implementing risk models, predictive analytics, or other
   data mining systems
   -

   Expert-level Java (preferred), or Ruby, Python, or Groovy development
   -

   Deep knowledge of decisioning or data mining service architecture,
   validation, and testing
   -

   Experience with web and service-oriented architectures


   -

   Experience with git and related workflows or similar code management
   systems
   -

   Startup and agile process experience
   -

   Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field


Other Skills We'd Love...


   -

   Hands-on knowledge of analyzing and tuning the performance of data
   services
   -

   Implementing data mining models, such as decision trees, or regressions
   -

   Hands-on experience with SQL and NoSQL databases
   -

   Loan application approval or credit scoring
   -

   Fraud, spam or abuse detection
   -

   Social network analysis
   -

   eCommerce platforms, or consumer finance applications

Subject: [Baypiggies] request for opinions re python-web server-database
Message-ID: <53498E1B.1020100@systemateka.com>


[rudimentary questions]

     I have a client for whom I'm cooking up the following:
* on a dedicated computer with no LAN connection
* some (hopefully) lean web server with a set of web
   pages that get data from the user and to a local
   database and another set of web pages used to get
   data and format reports, both using javascript to
   get and present data
* some python module(s) that interface between the
   (lean) web server and the database
* some (hopefully simple but bulletproof) database
   management system, (again, hopefully) not mysql
   and postgresql is okay though I hope for something
   simpler. Data is primarily strings and integers. The
   need could be satisfied with a set of flat files (plain
   text ASCII) colon-delimited or some such, but I hope
   not to reinvent too many wheels.

     Go opinions on a good, lean web server and a
compatible python module and rdbms system?
     Or an alternative approach (it'd be fine with me if I
can do everything by typing in some Python files, tho'
Django is a learning curve that I hope to avoid for
this project).

Hopefully, with thanks,
jim

My first thought would be gunicorn webserver with a sqllite backend.
You can use the sqllite module to work  with the DB in python.

For the database management system, what are you looking to manage. Sounds
like a simple DB setup that would not require a lot of management.

Dylan

     Thanks lots. I'll take a look at gunicorn.
     The database could be a set of flat files that store
strings in colon-delimited fields. That option is poor
because

* I'll have to code data conversion and other functions
   that are common to database management software

* Data should be encrypted so's to require the user to
   use my functions to generate files for USB stick
   transfer (no LAN connex as a point of security).
   -- a flatfile manager for ASCII data would work fine
   -- an rdbms would work, tho' it will be best that
      installation, configuration, connection is easy

At work I've been working on django site that uses Riak as a back end 
for counters and time series data. Even though its recommended to run in 
a cluster of at least 5 for "production" (And I would say at least 3 
nodes for serious things). I've been able to get away with a single node 
and its been rock solid. Just make sure its a "strong" server with 
plenty of disk space and you'll be good.

Basho, the company that makes and open sources Riak, is in charge of the 
python driver and the documentation is decent.

Hopefully this helps.

Hi Jim,

I suggest considering the following:

Web server: something that supports WSGI, such as tornado or Apache with 
mod_wsgi.

Web app: Flask (easy to get started, lower learning curve than Django).

Database: sqlite. You can access it though sqlite3 module in the 
standard library. If you prefer a higher-level interface, look at 
SQLAlchemy with the sqlite backend.

I second Dylan's recommendation of sqlite.  The database is just a file,
installation is just a c lib + a python lib, available from any distro
(aptitude install python-sqlite in any debian-based linux).  I would
recommend Flask for the app framework.  gunicorn is a good server.

When I built something exactly like this for a non-profit circa 2002 the 
simplest and easiest thing was zope :) especially if you use the 
management interface to do everything instead of writing modules and 
doing things the naive way instead of the right way.

As to 'lean' I think that will depend on what your baseline is. If its 
j2ee frameworks almost everything is lean, if its bottle, well almost 
nothing is lean.

I too built something similar for a non-profit. It was a food-pantry-type
database system.

Stack was:

* cherrypy - Good-enough webserver for a localhost deploy. Really easy to
use and configure.
* django - Web framework with built-in ORM. I was already familiar with
this so it was an easy choice. I don't think the benefits of Flask outweigh
its use if you're also going to also need SQLAlchemy. You also benefit
automatically from Django's admin interface.
* sqlite - Rock-solid, built-in to Python and easy compatibility with
Django.
* py2exe - Great for deployment if it's going to a Windows machine. I made
it so that I deployed simply an exe that the end-user double-clicked. This
would spawn a Chrome browser in kiosk mode and the webserver backend.

I open sourced my implementation here:
https://github.com/grantjenks/emmaus_house_food_pantry

Hope that helps,
Grant

For a project a couple of years ago, I based it upon CherryPy for the
web framework, Mako for HTML templating, and SQLite as the back-end
datastore.  I didn't bother configuring a web server to proxy for it,
it was designed to be accessible from the local host only.  It was
designed for a very small number of people to interact with at once so
I don't know how much stress it could really handle.

     Big thanks to all of you.
     T.Dr.'s project is closest to mine:
single user on a local computer, small data set,
high security needs: a matter of using a browser
for data input and data reports along with a
requirement to copy encrypted files occasionally
to some external media for transport to some
other, similar system.
      I'm gonna try CherryPy and SQLite (and
maybe Mako if need be).
      More thanks to all.
jim

Subject: [Baypiggies] Quick question on pyreport
Message-ID: <CABD-8Fepgi=eZ+ky6_VFYDXrVWVYr2cf+_RmK1BA_SQBfduXaA@mail.gmail.com>

Please help!

i am trying to create a report for some work i did using python using the
 pyreport module. My report looks something like this:

#!Bla bla bla
#!Bla bla bla
..
..

<python program>

So i am writing my report starting with #! in each line of the report and
then copying the lines of the python program i used in my work (work.py)
without any comments in the new program filename.py.

I am running the program filename.py from the command line of my mac snow
leopard computer and using python 2.7.3:
pyreport filename.py

the program filename.py works fine and generates a pdf report when
filename.py only contains the comment section where each line is prefixed
with #!. I am also able to run the program work.py independently. But  When
i add the program lines of work.py after the comment section in filename.py
and try and run the program filename.py as before i get this message:

Message-ID: <BAY169-W39B90BE38E206A58D19161A0520@phx.gbl>

Anyone have tips on the doing the following in Python?
I want to download all (past, historical) Meetups I either attended or waswaitlisted for, in all (81!) Meetup groups I subscribe to (or at least a large subsetof them), for all of calendar 2012, and then all of calendar 2013.I then want to filter out selected Meetup groups, and reassemble the rest by dateinto one big CSV file for 2012, and another for 2013.Ideally for each event it should list date, group, title, time, location of meetup.
Meetup have a Python API . This wrapper though is not useful:https://github.com/meetup/python-api-client
I also see this code out there from our NYC brethren:https://github.com/NYCPython/nycpython.com
Short of splicing together all the pages for 65 groups * 12 months * 2 years,and reordering by date, any ideas?
Thanks in advance,Stephen

Chiming in a bit late: I strongly recommend SQLite, but you need to be
careful with concurrent access under load.  You might consider Firebird
if you need better concurrency.

I do API work a LOT. Each one is different and each one has it's own joys and wrinkles.

My tip -- make a stab at the very first "laughably small goal" -- ignore the big elephant you are trying to eat (one byte at a time ;).  Instead, try to hammer out/focus in that first mouthful -- get a successful connection.

The first stab won't be kept -- you can iterate to make it something you will keep. So, it's okay if there are hard coded username and passwords (if you have that option). Or, if the only access is Oauth, it's okay to manually get a cookie and hard code that cookie.

The objective -- getting started. Get a small piece to work. Then begin refactoring that small piece to something that can be checked in and withstand code review/pull request/etc.

I bet if you can get this far you either answer this question, or find you have a more specific question about something that your stuck on. Then you can have a specific snippet of code that you can send and ask about.

Hopefully this small tip helps. If you ever get stuck and can't get chewing on this first mouthful, then I'd ask another engineer to Pair Program with you (there are even hireable services like AirPair) with this first, specific, goal -- successfully connect and access.

Glen
P.S. If all APIs end up being a dead end (which I don't think is likely), you can always build this from scratch (as a scraper -- less efficient/a little more fragile; but works very well) with "requests"and "beautiful soup" packages  it's surprisingly easier than you think -- it just takes time. 

P.S.S. If you only want the data and not a clean project to maintain, you can hire out: Elance, Mechanical Turk, virtual personal assistance via task rabbit, etc.

Jim,
   This sounds like a perfect recipe / requirement for the micro frameworks: bottle, flask, etc. I think bottle is a single python file (or used to be).

    Your database needs sounds perfect for SQLite.

    All of this would fit on a raspberry pi. 

   I don't think your requirements even need a web server if you keep your microframework running like a daemon. But, if you wanted one, nginx is super efficient and fast (but not all the huge features if apache).

   Each of these tools have limitations. But, from an outside point if view with limited knowledge of requirements, they may work just fine for your project. You can always grow it over time -- replace bottle with Django, replace SQLite with Postgres, use nginx front-end, etc. I'd start with these simple tools and see if they are what you need -- they're great places to start even if you don't actually use them.

Cheers,


Glen

I don't know if I didn't see the other messages or if they came in while I was writing mine (slowly on iPhone will still laying in bed).

But, I read some great recommendations and update my suggestion -- from nginx to gunicorn (great robust but simple solution).

This micro stack recommendation most of us reverberate on seems perfect. The only thing not really considered that may need more thought -- security

We have a LAMP stack. Someone make up a catchy name for micros tack :)

LAMP:

Linux:
Apache (I prefer nginx)
MySQL (I prefer Postgres)
PHP (I prefer Python)

Microstack:
OS: Linux
Web server: Gunicorn (other variants here)
Framework: flask / bottle (other flavors)
Database: SQLite 
Language: Python (of course)

Is "microstack" very helpful? LGBSP doesn't spell anything cool.

What would the generic (non specific stack) (like the OSI network stack look like/be called)?

Later 5: programming language 
Layer 4: framework 
Layer 3: database
Layer 2: web server
Layer 1: operating system 

OWDFP .. It is kinda sing songy enough to remember. What does your OWDFP stack look like?

Word plays off of LAMP where LAMP is a subset? Torch, bulb, ???

OWDFP it is until someone can come up with something catchier...

You can always grow it over time -- replace bottle with Django, replace SQLite with Postgres, use nginx front-end, etc. I'd start with these simple tools and see if they are what you need -- they're great places to start even if you don't actually use them.

Subject: [Baypiggies] Is there any guide or post to follow in order to write
 code that works both on python 2 and 3?
Message-ID: <CAPmap1d1pn_YJohsq8ZU34z6A8WJ2D=qPni3uCz+FrUa_eq7pg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone. I'm writing a library that I'd like to be usable from both,
Python 2 and Python 3. Actually, there's a library that works just for
python2 and I want to make it work for 3.

I know it's not really hard to make it work for both versions, but
sometimes I have doubts. For example. If I define a simple class:

class A:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

It will have different meanings if it's run with Python 2 or Python 3
(lacking 'object' inheritence for python2).

Is there any guide, blog post, anything?

Thank you very much.

advice.

BTW. I'm new to the baypiggies ML. I'm from Argentina. You're all really

For Python 2 compatible code, you should always be explicit and
subclass every class from object, like

class A(object):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

This is one of the easy things for writing cross compatible code. The
hard things are dealing with the str/bytes differences, and the little
tricks you have to do to support metaclasses and exec.

Hi Glen,

I'd like to send a message to the meetup about the upcoming PyData
conference happening next month. (Disclaimer, I'm an organizer.) Is this
appropriate? I'd prefer not to send something if it feels like spam.

When it comes to creating a modern GUI-based, cross-platform application
in Linux/Mac and Windows using Python (and taking Python 3 into
consideration, with Python 2.7 as a backport path) what's is the best
direction to go in? Tkinter, PySide (Qt), others?

I've found some discussion on the topic elsewhere (e.g., Reddit) but I
wanted to get the opinion of developers in our group here.

Consider using the browser as your UI toolkit.  Build a "web app" that 
listens on localhost, and you get access to a huge variety of UI tools 
and libraries, an enormous developer community and great debugging 
tools.  It also greatly reduces the number of dependencies you need to 
install, since every user already has a browser, whereas basically 
nobody has your particular version of Qt/Tk/GTK pre-installed.

I've been playing with Kivy, which is pursuing the "write once, run
everywhere" dream.  They choose CPython (2 or 3) and OpenGL ES as their
greatest common denominators.  Cython can be used if desired.  They have
a reasonably functional GUI toolkit (very Android-looking), fairly
direct access to OpenGL ES for fancy effects, and Kivy programs really
do deploy as "apps" on both desktops and phone/tablet OS's (though I've
only tested Android).

The team has done an incredible amount of work, spawning a number of
subprojects.  It's still a bit rough; check the issue trackers to see
if there are any show-stoppers for your application.

OTOH, you are then not developing in Python anymore.  ;-)  That's what we
did in my last job; it has lots to recommend it as an approach, but it
really doesn't feel much like running a native application.  In our
case, it was reasonable because the user was intended to have minimal
interaction with the GUI (set it up and leave a background process
running).

Dang straight.  I'm sitting here gluing a ECMAscript/CSS/XHTML/SVG
front-end to a CommonLisp back-end, and it's not pleasant.

See https://www.usenix.org/system/files/1403_02-08_mickens.pdf for some
useful comparisons:

``...a Web page is now like V'Ger from the first "Star Trek" movie, a
piece of technology that we once understood but can no longer fathom, a
thrashing leviathan of code and markup written by people so
untrustworthy that they're not even third parties, they're fifth parties
who weren't even INVITED to the party, but who showed up anyways because
the hippies got it right and free love or whatever.''

``But, on the bright side, things could always be worse. For example, it
would definitely be horrible if your browser's scripting language
combined the prototype-based inheritance of Self, a quasi-functional
aspect borrowed from LISP, a structured syntax adapted from C, and an
aggressively asynchronous I/O model that requires elaborate callback
chains that span multiple generations of hard-working Americans. OH NO
I'VE JUST DESCRIBED JAVASCRIPT. What an unpleasant turn of events!
People were begging for a combination of Self, LISP, and C in the same
way that the denizens of Middle Earth were begging Saruman to breed Orcs
and men to make Uruk-hai.''

Message-ID: <CA+UBrj43jRSY=1sVKYO46zpsce2SMtexq8nzjK956Tpo7-ngVQ@mail.gmail.com>

*Speaker: Benjamin Ragan-Kelley*
Topic: Using IPython for Parallel Computing

*Abstract:*
IPython provides tools for interactive computing ? code introspection,
completion, and environments such as an interactive shell and web-based
notebook. In addition to these environments, IPython provides a suite of
tools for interactive parallel computing on multicore machines or clusters.
We will cover some of the API and architecture for IPython.parallel, using
some example use cases. It will all be presented in IPython notebooks, so
you can follow along if you like.




*Speaker: *
Min finished his PhD at UC Berkeley in computational plasma physics in May,
2013. He has been a contributor to IPython since 2006, when the first
implementation of IPython's parallel computing capabilities was his
undergraduate thesis at Santa Clara University. He now works full time on
IPython at UC Berkeley, funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. He is
also the maintainer of pyzmq, the Python bindings of the ZeroMQ messaging
library

Stumbled on this and which I think will be useful to someone who wants to
replicate the filter_horizontal feature in django-admin in a non-admin page

www.virtuosoft.eu/code/bootstrap-duallistbox/

Works easily without much headache and the UI looks clean and simple.
