PyOh March 2018
Great turnout, 77 people rsvp,d at least 40 came. Out of one case of pizza,
one slice was left
Two of the new people :
Eric - Quant from Boston
Trey - IoT, Python
PyOhio is July 29-30 2018 @ the OHio Union. Looking for speakers and
sponsors.
PyCon is in Cleveland in May - is not free like PyOhio
Guy Royce will speak about machine learning in April meeting 4-30-2018
Harry Linder spoke about how to create your own custom search engine
We actually experimented with recording, looking for a spare camera for
video recording
This is up on GitHub - but where ?
Lean into your edge - make connections
Why build your own search engine ? Results are often inaccurate, incomplete
also, there is a serious search bubble effect (unless you use Duck Duck Go)
Surveys only get a small response, so each respondent has an outsized
influence
Start with accurate information
Python - of course !
Flask - web framework
Whoosh - search
Scrappy + Portia - web scrapers
Frames are very difficult- especially if they load things that do not
refresh the page.
Also used :
Virtualenv - package management
GitHub - store and share your code. And use for deployment
Heroku - better than AWS for this purpose
Cloud 9 - bought by AWS.
Google errors- See project notes - Harry found AWS to be error prone
Stackoverflow -
Panic - not really
Result : https://stormy-lowlands-80953.herokuapp.com
Shout out to Lynda.com for the Flask tutorial
! Consider storing the code with the web site that you scrape
Whoosh can index things without a dB
. Beautiful Soup
Travis spoke about pipenv - very good for package and dependency management
