If the newest requests doesn't work in 2.x I'd be shocked, we've all been
using it forever!

Subject: [Chicago] Structuring a large Django API
Message-ID: <CAN6vQqu-PgBYFav3k5HtUiFHWYshzqH3HncnQCCk3m4Jj3Ww+Q@mail.gmail.com>

This is also on Stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23411571/structuring-a-large-api-in-a-django-project

Right now I have a large project with an equally large API (done using
django rest framework). The current structure is something like this:

api
|-----urls.py
|-----models.py
|
----v1
    |-----views.py
    |-----serializers.py
    |-----permissions.py
    |-----tests.py

etc

As you can guess, the views.py file is pretty big and I want to refactor
this out. Currently I have a few options in front of me, the one I'm
leaning towards is to put an 'api/v1' package into each app and use the api
app to tie all the urls together and hold views that don't fall into an app.

Does anyone have any experience with this and could provide guidance?

I've used the following on a few projects with success:

api
|-----urls.py
|-----models.py
|
----resources
    |-----users.py
    |-----things.py
    |-----...

One resource module that contains serializers and views per top-level api
resource. Most resource modules end up being under 50-100 lines of code. I
prefer this approach over api modules in my apps as I find my rest
resources don't always fit cleanly one-to-one with my app structure.

Thanks, What do you do when you have conflicting app and module names? For
example, in your things.py above you also have a things app and in
things.py you try 'from things.models import Thing'. That's been my issue
when I tried that approach.

I use absolute imports and my project is my base package. So inside
`project.api.resources.things` I would `from project.things.models import
Thing`

A little bit off topic but not entirely since it is where we are meeting
next week. Will we have tables with dinner while we watch the talks? The
menu looks interesting. When we met at Sully's we could order food, and I
was wondering if this is similar.

Hi everyone,

Someone put me in touch with a student who is hoping for an internship. I
am helping with Google Summer of Code, but the deadlines for application
for that have already past.  I was wondering if any of you could get in
touch with me about a student who is hoping for an internship? I could pass
along the contact information.

Hey folks,

Just a quick note about PyOhio 2014.

The conference will take place the last weekend in July, this year the 26th
and 27th, at the Ohio Union, The Ohio State University.

Our call for proposals is nearly over, it closes on May 15th. We have some
fantastic talks already submitted. But PyOhio has always been committed to
finding great new speakers, and we don't have as many first-timers as we'd
like. So if you've never given a talk before, consider making this your
year. If you want help with a proposal, contact me (brian.costlow at gmail)
and I'll match you up with a mentor who will give you a hand. Not a first
time speaker, but know something cool about Python? We want to hear about
it too.

http://www.pyohio.org/call-for-proposals/

Conference registration is now open. As always, attending PyOhio is
absolutely free! Just select Free PyOhio 2014 Admission. But if you want
the cool commemorative T-Shirt, you'll need to purchase one in advance.
Purchasing also registers you, so you don't need to pick both. All profit
(after we pay the supplier) is used to fund PyOhio, and keep it free to
attend.

http://pyohio2014.eventbrite.com

Thanks to a generous grant from the PSF, we will be offering two
PyKids/Young Coder's classes this year, one Saturday and one Sunday, so we
can teach 50 kids Python. Registration will open in mid-July. Barb
Shaurette, one of the program originators, is coming up to run things for
us. We'll also be working with some Columbus youth organizations to give
some disadvantaged kids?who otherwise could not even get to a free class?a
chance to attend.

If you are an adult, and new to Python, we're once again partnering with
TriPython to hold a week long python bootcamp class, from July 21 through
July 25.

http://trizpug.org/boot-camp/pyohio14/

This year we have a great new location for sprints. Pillar Technology,
about a five minute drive away, will be hosting sprints from 6 PM-11 PM
July 25, 26 and 27. Their facility, the Forge, has lots of space, is set up
for coding, and has craft brew on tap. We'll bring in food.

http://pillartechnology.com/forge/about/forge-columbus-ohio/

As always, we could not put on PyOhio without generous support from the
Python community. Our thanks to Eventbrite, New Relic, Rackspace, Caktus,
Intellovations, Wingware, O'Reilly, and No Starch Press for their
sponsorship of PyOhio 2014. This year our costs are up, and the number of
sponsors are down. If your company uses Python, consider asking them to
sponsor the conference. Sponsorship packages start as low as $500.

If you or your company want to help us out, but can only donate a lower
amount, you can donate via Eventbrite. Scroll down to the bottom of the
registration page.

As always, thanks for speaking, volunteering, funding, and coming out and
attending PyOhio. The organizers just facilitate, all of you are what makes
PyOhio great.

Chair, PyOhio 2014

Message-ID: <552CD98F700BD6409F70C1B72AAED63D8649FD8BB9@ATASRV1.biketraffic.lan>

Hello Chicago Python community,

I work with the Active Transportation Alliance, Chicagoland's bike, walk and transit nonprofit. We produce Bike the Drive (hopefully you've heard of it) and also the Bike Commuter Challenge, a regional bike commute trip tracking competition that's taking place June 13-20 this year.

We licensed a registration and trip tracking software for this year's effort and have had a couple of volunteers graciously helping us customizing it. The system is built in Djano/Python.

We have two major customizations (30-40 hours of work) that we are seeking freelance help with in order to get them done ASAP.

Our volunteers recommended reaching out to this community in hopes of securing freelance help. Please email me ethan at activetrans.org<mailto:ethan at activetrans.org> if you are interested/available.

Thanks much,
Ethan

Here's a blurb about the Bike Commuter Challenge:


Bike Commuter Challenge - June 13-20

Sign up with more than 7,000 people at 450 Chicagoland companies and organizations for the Bike Commuter Challenge June 13-20, 2014. You don't have to bike all the way every day, just biking to your local bus or train stop counts. Groupon, Orbitz, your local bike shop and lots of businesses do it. Nearly 20% of our participants are biking to work for the first time and nearly 40% are women. We'll give you and your office all the tools you need to get going on two wheels. Meet other cool bike commuters all week before and after work at more than 40 events and socials around the region. www.bikecommuterchallenge.org<http://www.bikecommuterchallenge.org>.

Pygame was very useful for me in the early stages of learning OpenGL,
though I've since abandoned it in favor of C (because I develop
cross-platform and want to target mobile and I dislike C++). Do you
have a particular question or just want an opinion about it? My
opinion is that it was suprisingly comprehensive and performant, even
for 3D gaming, and for me at least was a great sandbox for learning.

I don't have a particular question per se, just seeing if anyone local has
used it and curious about their experiences in case I have questions.

I wouldn't mind trying to learn it in an afternoon / weekend just to have
some fun. I'm not a game programmer by trade but games seem to make
everyone excited.

I do recommend Pygame to any Python programmer! It's fun to turn your
Python skills into something colorful and interactive with relative
ease.

ChiPy Members and Friends,

Our Chicago Python community has seen great growth the last several years.
One of the key benefits is our ability to help both Python developers and
those hiring find each other.  There currently is a shortage of qualified
Python developers in the Chicagoland area?.  In order to continue our
growth, ChiPy has made both formal and informal agreements with those
hiring to provide us a referral bonus** whenever they find and hire someone
from our network.

Despite our best efforts, we have been delinquent in collecting those
referrals in the past. We encourage those who have found talent and have
not yet made a donation to arrange a donation to the club today. Contact
any organizer, including myself, and we will give you more instructions. If
you have been hired by someone who found you from our network, please
forward this email to them so they can make their good faith donation.

Thank you for your time in tracking this down. We would like to personally
thank every member who has contributed to ChiPy in the past. We all would
like ChiPy to be as self-sufficient as possible. In the past, we've had the
funds to do amazing things like send students to PyCon. We now set out a
new goal of our fundraising:


*  "Chicago Python User Group sets goal to send 3 students to PyCon in
Montreal for 2015" --Brian Ray, ChiPy Organizer (ref http://bit.ly/1s87j5G
<http://bit.ly/1s87j5G>)*
Achieving a goal like this is a great measure of our success.   It us up to
every one of you to make this possible. Thank you for supporting the Python
Programming language in Chicago.

Warmest Regards,

Brian Ray and the ChiPy Organizers

? You may forward your resume to any board member to have it distributed to
our trusted network

** We recommend a referral be paid in an amount ranging between $500-$1000
per successful hire.

Awesome meeting everyone. ?The talks were very fun (and giving one).

The setting was, we had the *front* room with a projector, then stayed out on the patio until close.

If you ever have to drive to 60th & Drexel to get Ross's bag, take the highway.

Message-ID: <8A785679BB69CF4499A92BD20F46FEB35BDAD1E98B@EXCH-MBX24.allegisgroup.com>

Python Community  -

I was given the opportunity to post a Python opportunity I have to this thread.  Bank of America is going through an overhaul of their risk platform globally so that they can understand their overall global risk at any given time.  They have several different platforms that need to be converted to Python as well as building the framework that these applications sit on in Python.  This is a top 5 initiative for the bank and is looking to be a 5 year project which is in its 2 year.  A majority of the management in Chicago is continuously looking for Python developers to aide in building this framework.  Below is just one of the many job descriptions, if you're interested in the role, please let me know.  Job Description below:

Company: Bank of America
Location: 540 W Washington
Duration: 18+ Month Contract (possibility of conversion)

Position: Python Developer

The FX Cash team at BofA is looking for a developer who can bring something to their team, something that can make them significant with the team whether it's their strong knowledge of Python or the years of experience in the Foreign Exchange markets.  They are looking for a proactive developer who can join the team and start from day 1.  These are senior roles so they are looking for someone who doesn't need any hand holding and can take on work without being asked to do so.  They need a forward thinker who can look at a road map and let everyone know what needs to happen next instead of being told what happens next.

Top 3 Skills:

1.       Thinker (ability to see down the road and participate to make the strategy happen)

2.       Scripting knowledge (If the individual does not have direct Python experience, someone with Object Oriented programming (C++, Java) w/ Perl, Korn or VBA scripting will be considered)

3.       Team fit - this is a small group where everyone contributes, you must be willing to wear many hats to get the job done in this group
Plus - Having enterprise financial experience is a plus, having FX experience is a huge plus.

Job Description:


Quartz FXCashDB  Technology   Python Developer

The ideal candidate will experience facing front office users on a regular basis and providing tactical as well as strategic solutions in a high pressure environment.  Experience or expertise in Foreign Exchange (FX) markets is valued.  The internal market data technology team is Agile based. They are a talented, experienced, and passionate group of technologists/strategists that prides itself on quality of delivery, continuous improvement, and a relaxed atmosphere.  We are seeking a developer (5+ years of experience) to join the team, grow with them as well as teach them a few things along the way within the team environment.



As a successful candidate and team member you must:

*         Be able to demonstrate proficiency with excel and python and a reasonable subset of the following:

C sharp, C++, SQL, UNIX, Messaging (MQ, RV) and Perl.

*         Have a proven ability to solve problems with technology - Can you describe a problem you've solved, the details of the solution, and why you chose the technology you used? Have you had demonstrated success developing large-scale sustainable applications?

*         Be passionate about quality, programming, and software development in general - Do you "sharpen the saw" and continually explore opportunities to improve? Are you a technology evangelist? Will you introduce the group to new technologies and approaches?

*         Be flexible with day-to-day responsibilities - Do you have an interest in polyglot programming? Are you comfortable with working across multiple systems and potentially using multiple programming languages and technologies?

*         Be organized - Are you able to remain productive even when you have multiple deliverables?

*         Demonstrate good judgment - Can you be trusted to make good decisions independently?



More about us:

*         Bank of America Merrill Lynch is a global financial powerhouse that markets, trades, and manages risk for various  derivative products

*         Together with team members in Chicago, New York, London, Singapore, India and elsewhere, the team builds and maintains systems that are key contributors to the bank's position in this high revenue business

*         Our developers pride themselves on their interest in technology and knowledge sharing is encouraged via informal brown-bag lunches, company-sponsored training, and annual internal developer conferences



About the role:

*         You will be working with a team of developers and business analysts within FXCashDB team

*         You will participate in most phases of the software development life cycle including story writing and estimation, design, development, test planning, test automation, and deployment

Watson itself is written in Java, IIRC, but you can imagine the ecosystem
of tools needed to build, support, and analyze a system of Watson's
complexity.

Last year at SciPy there was a talk titled, "Analyzing IBM Watson
experiments with IPython Notebook"
http://youtu.be/tlontoyWX70

There's a slide around the 12 minute mark showing the tools needed to build
their analysis. They started with multiple tools (java, javascript/D3,
html/css) which totaled 8,350 lines of code and replaced it with the
IPython notebook totaling 220 lines of code.

220 > 8350 !!!

Subject: [Chicago] Introducing CHIA
Message-ID: <CANKg38tC592QrAVtG+4GxTaa=u_GQvB9xw2TaNkxGs0hVvrNkg@mail.gmail.com>

More of a "Meetup," less then the best ever "User Group" like ChiPy we are
introducing "Chia"
http://www.meetup.com/Chia-Chicago-Applied-Cognitive-Analytics-Group/ Think
of "Chia" as our newly born niece... treat her well :D

Codename "Chia" is for "Chicago Applied Cognitive Analytics Group" The key
word here is "Applied"...

There are some great similar groups already in Chicago like Chicago Big
Data and Chicago Machine Learning Study Group... their goals may overlap;
however, this group focus on applied complete solutions, end to end, to
solve real world problems. The future is here and this is a huge new area
that now deserves our attention.

What makes Chia Different, you ask:

   - The focus is "applied" Big Data, Cognitive Analytics, Machine
   Learning... All presentations are aimed to how all this technology come
   together to solve real world problems.
   - We will discuss in depth tools (open source and commercial) and
   techniques to "apply" solutions to problems
   - We will have speakers from Kaggle competitions present on how they
   using applied machine learning, boosting and other techniques
   - We will hear from engineer who worked on big cognitive solutions (like
   IBM Watson)
   - We will have have our own challenges, project, and activities
   - We will cover topics regarding concepts that use applied NLP and
   relate that back to modern machine learning techniques.
   - We will exist with our own independent leadership (like ChiPy does)
   with a focus on the groups own initiatives. Sponsor friendly; however,
   always independent, free, and open to everyone.

Of course, Python will be covered in many areas. We can invite speakers
back to ChiPy if the talk becomes interesting to ChiPy Group.

Obviously, this is a big undertaking. If you're interested in helping,
please send me a note and I will let you know what you can do to help.
Otherwise, please participate ChiPy, Chia is a your little newborn niece.
Join here:
http://www.meetup.com/Chia-Chicago-Applied-Cognitive-Analytics-Group/

Welcome Chia and Long live ChiPy.

Thanks All! Brian Ray

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd share this.

This weekend Adler is hosting the Civic Hack day.
http://civichack.adlerplanetarium.org/2014/

This event looks unique because there's a focus on youth participation and
as a community, Python is an excellent language for learning **cough**
Raspberry Pi, books like "Python For Kids", youth-focused events at PyCon
**cough**.

Best,
Jason

The Civic Hack day looks really cool, unfortunately it looks like the
Hacker and Problem Owner registration spots are sold out. Any idea whether
attendance is relaxed enough that I could just crash the party?

The National Day of Hacking has five locations in Chicago including the
Adler one, one at Blue1647 or is it 37, the one below and two others.

http://www.meetup.com/Illinois-Open-Technology/events/177481352/?a=cr1_grp&rv=cr1&_af_eid=177481352&_af=event

Being old is fun and weird and scary.  I just lost the last of my Uncles a
week ago and he was 97.  That would be another 35 years for me.  The
Englewood Codes Project to me holds great promise not only for young folks
but for all folks if we can get business owners to link up little servers
along cities bus routes and other transportation routes get hooked up as
they are here holds promise for projects like Visual CTA Chicago even if my
particular project is not the one that takes hold.

Programming projects, even open source very complicated projects should not
be as hard as they are.  Building databases that mapped every well, every
seismic line, all known oil and gas reserves and the basement of the earth
went a lot faster than this.

I?ll be at the kCura event on Saturday, at least. If anyone is looking for something to work on, our Census Reporter project is a Django app, and we?ve laid out a conceptually simple challenge for folks looking for a project:

You could be right Joe.  I could be wrong.  I often am.  When I am I just
show up at your lab door.  This info though seems to say four will still be
going this Saturday.  Now if I can just figure out why I signed up to show
up at something that starts in the morning.
