It's that time of year again! The PyCon website received a beautiful refresh and we're ready to accept proposals for the 2014 conference taking place April 9-17 in Montreal. Check out the new site at http://us.pycon.org/2014 and create your account today! Registration will open in September, so mark your calendars and get ready to head into Canada for another great PyCon. We've received record numbers of proposals over each of the last several years, and we expect this year to be no different. For 2012 we received over 500 proposals for talks, tutorials, and posters, and for 2013 we received over 600. This community's excellent submissions have made for schedules where there is just too much good stuff to take in without cloning yourself, which is a problem we're proud to have. Thankfully you can catch up with the talks you missed at http://pyvideo.org/. If you're interested in submitting a proposal, take a look at our Call for Proposals at http://us.pycon.org/2014/speaking/cfp/ and poke around the site for advice and resources to help you create a great proposal. New for this year are the addition of Lightning Talk proposals, from which we'll be pre-selecting some of the slots that make up the Lightning Talk sessions. If your company is interested in sponsorship, we need you. Sponsors are what make PyCon a possibility, and sponsorship offers some great values to the generous organizations who support the conference. Check out https://us.pycon.org/2014/sponsors/whysponsor/ to find out what you get out of sponsorship, with a prospectus at https://us.pycon.org/2014/sponsors/prospectus/. Contact Jesse Noller at jnoller at python.org with any sponsorship inquiries.

Sorry to have not heard your talk, but I hope you are feeling better. Brian P.S. I think I have been able to give Vid some helpful input on understanding the [complex] academic system here; I have asked an old grad school friend who now is in bioinformatics if he can help make some professional suggestions and perhaps help her make some contacts here. He said yes, and I hope he will follow through. If she finds the right advisor, I think she has a good chance at support for her main goal: a Ph.D. It is hard to read what will happen w/r to the job she was interviewed for. I don't know what her credentials look like from your side, but I think coming from India, she is probably better off networking with PyCon type people if she wants to find a job here though. ******************************************************************** Brian H.

Tornado. Someone had asked me about Tornado, and I said that I didn't have an opinion on it. That's actually not true, I just somehow forgot my own opinion. I looked into Tornado a while back and decided against using it because it doesn't work on Windows (Twisted, gevent, Tulip, etc. all do). I'm not saying that Tornado sucks, but I prefer a cross-platform solution for a lot of my projects. To continue my analogy, if programming with Twisted is like being a mystical ninja warrior, than programming with Tornado is like being a mystical ninja warrior who suffers from some kind of childhood trauma that prevents his shadow clones from fighting killer robots. I'd hire the Tornado ninja for a fight in Hell, but I'd leave him behind if there was a brouhaha at the Isaac Asimov museum. Gevent and eventlet. Someone brought up gevent, and claimed that it's easier to use than Twisted and Tulip. I have to agree -- greenlets hide all the messy details so you don't need to worry about callbacks or yield from syntax. I don't have any personal experience with greenlets, but here is a very recent article that addresses the pros and cons: http://mrjoes.github.io/2013/06/21/python-realtime.html. I'll also note that gevent and eventlet aren't yet compatible with Python 3 (although the greenlet module has been ported, so it's just a matter of time). I don't love talking about things I don't understand, but I love making analogies, so I'll leave you with this: Programming with greenlets is like running around while juggling three standard beanbag balls (apparently this is called joggling). Some people you encounter will be AMAZED that you can joggle at all (usually the very old or the very young). Other bystanders will annoyingly ask if you can also joggle cats, shotguns, flamethrowers, your mom, etc. (these people are typically hipsters, Republicans, ninjas, or your dad). After a while you get distracted by all the dumbass questions and you drop all your balls -- one of them goes down a storm drain, another plops into a mud puddle, the last one bounces into your crotch for some reason and you're so mad you hurl it into the sun and swear off joggling forever. Then the next day you're back out there joggling, because hey it's a free country and some people like it so shut up you hater.

I believe sysconfig works with the configure script at build-time, but the Windows build doesn't use anything like that. A debug version of Python on Windows would be selected manually inside of Visual Studio, so I'm not sure if you can get the information you want in that way, at least currently.

I don't know if they'd actually have time to go to a conference, but Pycon Canada talks are on Saturday and Sunday, so it might be doable. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael DiBernardo Date: Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 9:35 AM Subject: Educator grants available for PyCon Canada 2013 To: pyconca at googlegroups.com Hi all, Thanks to Shopify, we are able to sponsor a few highschool educators to come to PyCon Canada 2013 -- the goal is for them to take their learnings from the conference and to potentially pass down those lessons to their students. We could really use your help in sourcing good candidates for these grants -- please send to all your education-y friends! Thanks! -Debo == PyCon Canada is Canada's national conference focused on the Python programming language, which we are holding for the second time from August 9th-13th, 2013 in Toronto, Ontario. We held the first PyCon Canada in November of 2012, which attracted top-tier speakers and over 200 developers, educators, and learners. We also offered a Diversity Grant program, by which individuals of underrepresented groups in the Python community could apply for funding to attend. This year, we are growing to a capacity of 350+, and we've already been heralded for our focus on diversity -- 2 of our 3 keynotes and 50% of our featured speakers list are women (http://pycon.ca/learn). We wanted to go a bit further, though, and bring the learning opportunities available on the ground at PyCon Canada to educators from remote communities who generally do not have access to top-tier technology conferences. If you are a highschool educator in computer science or a related field, we would invite you to apply for one of our "educator grants" by contacting us at board at pycon.ca with the following : - Telling us a bit about yourself - supplying a short paragraph on why you would like to attend - The estimated cost of travel (i.e. cost of your transportation only) to and from Toronto for the period of Aug 9-11th, 2013 We are especially interested in applications from teachers who are from remote or underprivileged communities, or who would otherwise have difficulty accessing and attending a top-tier tech conference in North America. Education is a huge emphasis at PyCon Canada 2013 this year: - one of our keynotes Karen Brennan researches the ways in which learning communities support young people's development as computational creators. - We are holding a webmaker workshop for youth aged 12-18 - Several talks will be focused on education and on introductory Python concepts We hope that by attending PyCon Canada 2013, highschool educators can take the lessons learned and relationships forged at our conference and disseminate them to their students and colleagues in their home communities. If you have any questions about this program, please don't be shy -- contact us at board at pycon.ca. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyCon Canada" group.
