So, ChiPy is, as I've said before, pretty much an example of just-in- time compiling for a social group. Predictably, meetings are always the 2nd Thursday, as Carl pointed out. It's not unusual for there to be little discussion of it until the week before -- so, yeah, right around now =). Don't mistake that seat-of-the pants attitude for a lack of interest. ChiPy consistently has good numbers and everyone's awesome. -ted From bray at sent.com Sat Jul 5 22:50:02 2008 From: bray at sent.com (Brian Ray) Date: Sat, 5 Jul 2008 15:50:02 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] July Meeting planning Message-ID: <9B924232-C7C7-4CAC-AAA1-D9B96A3CDDAA@sent.com> Hi all: So far this is what I know about July: Chipy's July Meeting will be our best ever.

A couple of little items: In my view clicking on a link should open a new window, not take you off the site in the same window. The text boxes for entering the URL and the Title are rather short. You can delete an article that you submitted but I don't see a way for the submitter to edit the title (for instance if you catch a misspelling after posting). You have a disclaimer about not being responsible for the public's postings. Does the admin interface have a function to allow the site owner to modify or delete inappropriate or spam posts? I would assume it does. The "report" link doesn't appear to do anything but refresh the screen. A 'Thank you for your report' message or pop-up would be reassuring. A great new drop-in for Web2Py.

Automatically opening a new window when a user clicks a link is rarely a good idea (exceptions are ajax heavy apps like gmail or google reader). For example most users expect the back button to work, and this breaks when you open a new window.

If you have previous scripting or programming experience and want to step into Python programming as quickly and painlessly as possible, this boot camp is for you. PyCamp is also the perfect follow-on to Plone Boot Camp: Customizing Plone the previous week. At Plone Boot Camp: Customizing Plone you will learn the essentials you need to build your Plone site and deploy it. This course is the most popular in the Plone world--for a good reason: it teaches you practical skills in a friendly, hands-on format. This bootcamp is aimed at: * people with HTML or web design experience * people with some or no Python experience * people with some or no Zope/Plone experience It covers using Plone, customizing, and deploying Plone sites. At Advanced Plone Boot Camp: Plone 3 Techniques you will learn to build a site using the best practices of Plone 3 as well as advance your skills in scripting and developing for Plone. The course covers the new technologies in Plone 3.0 and 3.1intended for site integrators and developers: our new portlet infrastructure, viewlets, versioning, and a friendly introduction to Zope 3 component architecture. Now, updated for Plone 3.1! The course is intended for people who have experience with the basics of Plone site development and HTML/CSS. It will cover what you need to know to take advantage of these new technologies in Plone 3.

It's not along the lines of "doctest code" but have you seen TestNG? http://testng.org/doc/ (Disclaimer: I have never written a lick of Java in my life.) But looking at it, I think TestNG offers way more power and elegance over JUnit. The downsides to it are that -- in true Javanese -- it still makes some simple things complex and wants to use XML for everything. However there are some really cool features, most of which are implemented in nose [1] but some of which I'd like to steal for [*ahem* port to] nose! One feature that would be great for nose is how TestNG will dump an XML file of tests that are failing, letting you re-run *just* the failing tests. Nose could do this sans XML by hooking into the testid plugin [2] I think. [1] http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/ [2] http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/doc/plugin_testid.html I was telling a Java developer about TestNG the other day and he said "yeah ... but ... JUnit works with Eclipse." And we stared at each other blankly for a minute.

It is used heavily at my work in two test suites: one for the functional tests of an ETL framework and another for a Pylons + Elixir (SQLAlchemy) + Ext JS web application. http://farmdev.com/projects/fixture/ easy_install -U fixture Highlights of This Release * SQLAlchemy 0.4 now finally works as a nice fixture backend (0.5beta support is shaky, but mostly there). * Even more documentation! The new docs (http://farmdev.com/projects/fixture/) have been completely reorganized thanks to the venerable Sphinx. Of special note is a new tutorial that shows how to use fixture to test a Pylons + SQLAlchemy application: http://farmdev.com/projects/fixture/using-fixture-with-pylons.html Many thanks to those who submitted issues and patches, especially to Manuel Aristar?n, sokann, Brian Lee Hawthorne, and Jeffrey Cousens. What's next? The fixture command that generates DataSet classes from a real database needs some attention. It doesn't work with SQLAlchemy 0.5beta yet and could work better with SQLAlchemy based data models in general. Aside from that, fixture seems to have stabilized for my apps at work so I'll be waiting to hear from the community about what other areas to improve on. -Kumar From sgithens at caret.cam.ac.uk Sun Jul 20 01:04:02 2008 From: sgithens at caret.cam.ac.uk (swg) Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:04:02 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] Jython and doctests In-Reply-To: <79207719.6824661216215027180.JavaMail.root@mail-3.01.com> References: <79207719.6824661216215027180.JavaMail.root@mail-3.01.com> Message-ID: <488272E2.6040108@caret.cam.ac.uk> I haven't tried doctests with Jython yet, but I've used the regular unittest module for testing things with Jython a number of times.

Its time for BARcamp Chicago 2008! Last years was great and this year will be even better. A quick intro for those who dont know: BARcamp Chicago as a weekend long (60 hours straight) technology fest. People call it an "un-conference" or a "user-defined conference" or a "Burning Man for coding". It happens once a year here in Chicago and is free to all. Come give a talk, listen, learn, code and drink. FYI- BARcamp is not about bar's but a play on FOO=BAR and Oreillys private camp called FoO camp (Friends of Oreilly) in the Valley. We are shooting for the weekend of August 15th, but here is the rub. (like every year) we need to find a venue. Requirements for space are: 1) In Chicago 2) Open for use the whole weekend, 24 hours a day. 3) Allow beer and drinks (most colleges dont). 4) Room for ~300 people. We have event insurance and can chip in cash if our sponsors are good to us this year ;-) And as always, sponsors are welcome. We have no prospectus or ROI or anything and no set amounts. If you are start-up chip in $50 or whatever you can spare, if you are further along, help out the community ;-) Its really about YOU, the engineer, the entrepreneur, the manager, the hacker, the coder, the artist. YOU the Chicago Tech community. Come make it happen and like the previous years, have a blast!

I keep hoping to make it to a python meeting in chicago! I loved pycon. OK - I noticed this on a list I am on (Devchix) and I am not sure who wrote it but I'm passing on this information in case anyone wants to come to this event. cheers, alex mcferron http://www.devchix.com/ Message i found on Devchix mailing list: I thought I would forward this Geek Girl event information along: Girl Geek Dinners have been popping up all around the world for nearly three years. They've been huge successes in Sydney, London, San Fran, Malaysia, Toronto,...(you get the point). Next stop: Chicago! And just to clarify, this is not a ThoughtWorks event. It's simply a group of women (and yes men are invited as well) in IT who are interested in networking with people in the same field. The idea is to get a group of women who work in technology together to discuss their experiences and exchange ideas in a comfortable, casual environment. The obvious goal of the event is to meet other women in jobs similar to what you do every day and share knowledge. The long term aim is to make the technical world more intriguing and accessible to people of all age, race, and gender. For more info: http://girlgeekdinners.com/ Why am I telling you this? Well we need some help. If you know any women in technology in the Chicago area, please reach out to them to see if they'd be interested in attending. There's no obligation obviously- consider this a user group that will meet monthly or bimonthly at a selected venue. We have a facebook page, as well a mailing list to keep everyone updated. I believe we already have over 30 people interested in attending. Please feel free to pass this information on to anyone you know who may be interested in joining us. Also, please let me know if you'd like to attend or help with organization. Details Where: ThoughtWorks office- 200 E.

We'll just have to push aside the desks and project against the wall. :) Also, count us in for a talk too. We have a bunch of Django pluggables we've been planning on open open sourcing for Django for a while, including: - An extensible Captcha system (integrates nicely with newforms, can even easily integrate your own captcha renderers, like an audio renderer) - an "assets" system - a cron system (what it sounds like, schedule for certain tasks to go off at certain times (with recurrence support), easily pushed from your python code) - a config system - regex and python method template tags... yes, we're evil. Address: Imaginary Landscape 5121 N Ravenswood Av Chicago IL 60640 As long as we're close to our usual size (ie, not Google megameeting size), I think we'll be fine doing it here. Sound okay?
