Is there a meeting this month? I searched the list and didn't see
anything, and I wanted to post it on TechSocial (and attend myself :-)

Cheers,

Thought I'd pass this along.  It's a telecommuting deal using SpamBayes.

This totally caught me by surprise.  Summer is in full swing in my
head.  I won't be able to host at Performics.  Does anyone have
anything to present?

I could present a Django add-on I'm working on: A module that creates a Web 
site for you automatically, given data models. (This is different than the 
automatic admin interface Django provides.)

I'm hoping to get this thing done this week -- a Thursday presentation would 
give me a nice, solid deadline. :)

I'll look into hosting it here at ThoughtWorks again... (651 W. Washington

Does that work for everyone?

I still have that AppScript presentation to give. I don't have a place
to host, though.

I love it when things come together at the last minute.

I was just about to recommend we all meet in a park that has public  
wifi. But this might take more thought; and frankly, I am running a  
little low on thoughts right now.

Maybe, Adrian, can you speak briefly on the changes made between  
Django .91 and .95? A birdie told me they are extensive and powerful;  
and yet, not magical.

Could someone summarize then, the date, time, topic and location of the 
meeting?

Is it worth me driving down from Milwaukee?

Is anyone else planning to drive down from Milwaukee who might be 
interested in carpooling?

Should I have the faintest idea of what Python and Django are before I 
commit to the ride (that's a joke).

The wiki will be updated and I will send out an announcement once all  
the details are clearer. So far:

* we are waiting on seeing if ThoughtWorks will work
* Adrian Holovarty will present on a Django related extension
* John Melesky will present on AppScript
* the time is always 7pm
* I think it will be worth it to drive or taking the train from the  
Greater Chicagoland, Central Illinois, Northwest Indiana, and  
Milwaukee Areas

Hope to see you all there.

It's official! Thursday's meeting will be at ThoughtWorks Chicago, located 
in the charming West Loop district of our fine city. 

There are detailed directions to the TW office in the list archives:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/ac93fde309bff056

Also, pizza and pop will be served, compliments of Uncle Roy (Singham). 
I'm expecting/budgeting for about 15-20... so if you're planning on 
bringing 20 of your buddies for the free grub, let me know so I can plan 
accordingly. :-) And be early, pizza will be served promptly at 7 p.m.

See you on Thursday!

This will be our best meeting yet! ChiPy's Monthly meeting this Thurs.
August 10, 2006. 7pm. (except for folks who want to help setup at 6:30
and get first dibs on
pizza-compliments of Uncle Roy (Singham))

Topics
------

* Adrian Holovaty's new Django Add-on for quickly publishing websites.
* John Melesky on AppScript
* Sir Galahad on Python 2.5 (beta 3) in a nutshell
* BarCamp review and hangovers
* Lighting talks: MD5, ...

651 West Washington Blvd., 6th floor
Chicago, IL 60661

Location description:
"6 story, brick building on the Southwest corner of Washington Blvd. and

"Right next to the 90/94 freeway"
"Across the street from the Social Security building"

Call jason at 3 1 2 - 3 7 3 . 8 5 5 6 if you get locked out or lost.
(The external doors should be open, but be sure to enter on the "east"
side (Desplaines)

Street (meter) parking is available in the area. Shoot for "free" (no
meters) parking on the South side of the building if you're lucky. And
be sure to feed those meters; Brother Leader Daley collects tons of cash
from meter fines in this area. Garage parking is also available across
the street (technically across the interstate) at the very tall
SkyBridge condo building.

1) The closest "L" stop is Clinton on the "Green Line". (About an 8
minute walk from TW.)
2) The closest Metra station is the Ogilvie Transportation Center (in
the Citibank Building) 2 blocks east of TW. (a 4 minute walk)
3) The closest water taxi stop is at Madison Street Bridge at 2 North
Riverside Plaza. (<http://www.wendellariverbus.com/rbdock.htm>) ;-)
4) I can't find good info on the nearest helipad. Sorry, Mr. Trump.
5) Besides garage parking at SkyBridge across the freeway and meter
parking around the building, there is additional garage parking at the
Presidential Towers at Jefferson & Madison. There are 2 non-garage
parking lots adjacent to our building. (I don't know the lots' "after
5pm" parking rules, though).  Theme: If you're addicted to oil, there
are lots of parking options within a short walk.

Well, let's see if this gets past the silly filter.  Although there's
no mention of Python, what I immediately thought of on reading this was
that there were sure to be folks over here who'd be interested in this.

Not that I think we need yet another mailing list to further fragment
things, and in that connection I think it's intersting that he sent
this originally to the list that's long since lost its [own] LUG...

Subject: [Chicago] ot: Snapmonkey?
Message-ID: <1156391106.4596.21.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Has anyone here ever heard of a service called snapmonkey )(www.
snapmonkey.com)?  My sister is working on starting a business, and is
looking for a simple way to set up a web-presence.  She has a domain
name picked out and I told her to go ahead and register it while she
plans.  She or her partners found Snapmonkey and asked me about it.  My
guess is that she'll get a servicable, but generic website out of it.

Alternatively, if anyone has suggestions or referrals for a service that
she can use to get going, let me know and I'll pass it on (she hasn't
provided me with any more detail).

Hi all,

Ben Collins-Sussman and I were wondering if you'd like to hear us
yammer on a bit at the next meeting about the Google Code stuff we've
been working on (which was finally released in July).  We'd talk about
what it does and as much as we can about the Google technologies we
used to build it (plus, of course, Python, natch).

Whether we speak or not, we'd also be glad to host the meeting at
Google's offices at 20 W. Kinzie (and feed everyone too, of course) if
there's interest.

What say ye?

I'd be very up for that talk.

And this time, I'll do my best to make it (last month I hoped to drive 
down from Milwaukee but wasn't able to at the last minute).

Yeah, sounds interesting.  I didn't even know Google had offices in
Chicago.  Had I known I would have asked about a Chicago faction for the
Google Sprint going on this week.

Hi All,

Massimo DiPierro, a big pusher of Python at DePaul, is teaching a
Python and Django class in the DePaul certification track.  I'm sure
some of you might be interested in attending, or otherwise know folks
that would benefit.  Regardless, it's exciting news.

Hi Chris,

How are you?

In the hope to get introduce more Linux at DePaul I am teaching the
following course at IPD which will cover mainly Python and Django but
will touch on installation of Apache, mod_python and MySQL. I thought
you may be interested and I'd appreciate if you could spread the news
to Chip.

Thanks,

Massimo

We are pleased to introduce our latest certificate program, the Web
Development with Python and Django Program.  This program will focus
on rapid and efficient development of Web applications using LAMP
(Linux, Apache, MySQL and Python) and Django.  The program deals with
Apache, MySQL and Python as a generic platform, and deals with Django
as a specific example of a modern, integrated Web development
framework.  We will cover installation, configuration, programming and
deployment of these tools with particular focus on security and
business continuity.  The program is designed for application
developers, system analysts, database administrators, and technical
support professionals.  Prospective students should have a solid
programming background that includes Web development experience, and
basic knowledge of systems administration.

The fall session of the Web Development with Python and Django Program
is scheduled to meet on five Thursday evenings at DePaul's Loop
Campus, beginning on September 28th.  In addition, there is an option
to enroll in an online section instead of the on-campus section.  More
details about this program may be found at
http://ipd.cti.depaul.edu/wdpd/Prog_wdpd.htm
<https://webmail.cti.depaul.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://ipd.cti.depaul.edu/wdpd/Prog_wdpd.htm>

If you have any questions about this program, or any of our other
certificate programs, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you for your interest in our programs.

Sincerely,

The Institute for Professional Development

Hi Chris,

How are you?

In the hope to get introduce more Linux at DePaul I am teaching the
following course at IPD which will cover mainly Python and Django but
will touch on installation of Apache, mod_python and MySQL. I thought
you may be interested and I'd appreciate if you could spread the news
to Chip.

Thanks,

Massimo

We are pleased to introduce our latest certificate program, the Web
Development with Python and Django Program. This program will focus
on rapid and efficient development of Web applications using LAMP
(Linux, Apache, MySQL and Python) and Django. The program deals with
Apache, MySQL and Python as a generic platform, and deals with Django
as a specific example of a modern, integrated Web development
framework. We will cover installation, configuration, programming and
deployment of these tools with particular focus on security and
business continuity. The program is designed for application
developers, system analysts, database administrators, and technical
support professionals. Prospective students should have a solid
programming background that includes Web development experience, and
basic knowledge of systems administration.

The fall session of the Web Development with Python and Django Program
is scheduled to meet on five Thursday evenings at DePaul's Loop
Campus, beginning on September 28th. In addition, there is an option
to enroll in an online section instead of the on-campus section. More
details about this program may be found at
http://ipd.cti.depaul.edu/wdpd/Prog_wdpd.htm


If you have any questions about this program, or any of our other
certificate programs, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you for your interest in our programs.

Sincerely,

The Institute for Professional Development

I've been messing around with a collaborative Python environment using Trac and Subversion. I've added a few tweaks to get Python doctests (I presented these a few months ago) incorporated into the Trac Wiki, making for a pretty sweet environment.

If anyone's interested in seeing this setup, I can run through a short presentation.

Message-ID: <3096c19d0608301126r6f0627den1374035f3720d52a@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

My pal is the lead web guy at Chicago Public Radio.  They're currently
embarking on a pretty ambitious project that has the potential to be
awesome for Chicago, and awesome for Radio.  Details are at
http://secretradioproject.com

The short of it is, they're going to be setting up a sort of youtube
site where people can submit audio.  The audio is cleaned up, and then
possibly aired on 89.5, WBEZ's sister station that the FCC just
granted a big boost in wattage to.

They're looking for a contractor (or contracting company) to implement
the web side of the project by the end of December.  It's a pretty
tight time table, but doable with the right developer.  They're
committed to implementing the site using open source tools, and
potentially open sourcing the entire site once it's completed, there's
even the potential for the site to be built openly over the next few
months.  Like I said, it's pretty ambitious.

They posted the RFP ad on the 37signals job board here
http://jobs.37signals.com/jobs/418 .

They aren't putting any restrictions on platform for proposed
solutions, but they're leaning in the PHP / Drupal direction.

Chris

If I got a vote (which I don't), I'd stick with <>.  I never ever use !=.
OTOH, I regularly type = instead of ==, so maybe I'll lose that bad habit.

This only applies to Python3.x, right?  So I have time to procrastinate
...er... get used to the change?

I read that this morning and, though i don't see the need to get rid of
either, i do think != is the one to keep. <> has many benefits, but
semantically implies arguments which can fit into a sequence.

To put it another way, can one object be < another object? Or >? I know
the two objects can be ==, and i know they can be (not ==), but < and >
are properties of sortable items, which the objects may not be.

I have no idea if that's the basis of Guido's mandate, but that's where
i am.

Instead all together, it would be nice to be able to define our own  
operators from time to time.

My problem with <> is that it seems so Visual Basic to me, or at least
QBasic.  Also, I think the "!" as a "not" is pretty well entrenched in
the programming zeitgeist these days.
