[CentralOH] Monthly Meeting -- March 27

[Eric Floehr]

Come and learn, share, grow, meet new people, and visit old friends at our
monthly meeting! We'll be talking about the Python programming language and
anything that intersects it, and the cool stuff you can do with it.

Our next monthly meeting will be March 27, 2017, at Pillar (as always).

Max Morlocke will be presenting this month on Memory Leak Troubleshooting.

Memory leaks are are painful.  We as developers are encountering a
situation where garbage collection isn't working as we would like and
instead we are suffering from a situation where memory is constantly
growing, potentially resulting in watchdog processes killing processes.
Further, memory leak troubleshooting in python can be frustrating, tools
are not necessarily as friendly as on platforms like Java and .NET.  In
this session, we'll go over what a memory leak is, what some common
symptoms are, and some common tools to troubleshoot.  We'll also go over
best practices to minimize the chance of a memory leak occurring and how to
make it easier to find out what's happening inside your code well before
watchdog starts shooting your production applications in the head.

Then, Jim Prior will give a presentation on using named groups in regular
expressions. From "The Zen of Python":

    Readability counts.

Named groups makes groups within regular expressions more readable and also
make the reference to groups more readable.

Afterwards we'll be heading to Brazenhead on 5th.
