Subject: [melbourne-pug] April MPUG meeting: Windows and C // JavaScript //
 What's New -- Monday 7 April, 6PM, Inspire 9, 41 Stewart St Richmond
Message-ID: <CAKADsbfMJ+dLBg-P=tU=xvewOznHy4KDiM6q1_S-Md13CEyAtw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Melbourne Pythonistas,

I almost forgot to say that tomorrow, Monday 3, we'll hold the April
meeting of the Melbourne
Python Users Group.

Time:  6pm
Venue: Inspire 9, 41 Stewart St. Richmond. 50m from Richmond Train Station.

Program:

15 minute talks

 * Ed Schofield -- What's New in Python, now a regular feature in our meetings

25 minute talks

 * Adrian Higgins -- Integrating specific Hardware with Python using
existing C libraries on Windows.

 * Ben Finney -- A Pythonista Meets JavaScript?: first steps

As usual, we'll order pizza, with a $10 contribution required. Drinks
are BYO, but you're invited to bring a six-pack to share if you want!

If you'd like to give the What's New in Python talk in a future
session, you have a cool project you want to show, or you want to give
a short presentation on a library you've been using lately, please
just come forward at the start of the meeting.

With much appreciation to Inspire 9 for the donation of the use of the venue,

The MPUG organisers

I've now posted myself as the presenter for ?What's new in Python? for
Monday 2014-06-02.

Message-ID: <CAKADsbcPJv_GSQE18y5jv4faTe9YHJov54OLH6pHRooF2g9N=Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Melbourne Pythonistas,

Here are two friendly reminders:

Pycon-AU will take place in Brisbane, from the 1st to the 5th of
August. More importantly (and more pressingly), the deadline for
presentations is around the corner: the 25th April! Please send them
something awesome!

We've already programmed May and June, but we're already looking for
presenters for July. And, if you have a presentation for Pycon AU,
what better audience to rehearse it in front of than your local Python
Users Group? You can audience-test your Pycon talk among friends at
MPUG.

That's all for now.

Javier and the ophidiorganisers.

This week marks your last opportunity to submit proposals to present at
PyCon Australia 2014, the national conference for the Python programming
community, to be held on August 2 and 3 in Brisbane, Queensland.

The deadline for proposal submission is Friday April 25, 2014, and more
information can be found at http://pycon-au.org/cfp

PyCon Australia is an excellent opportunity to share experience and
knowledge with like-minded Python developers from all walks of life -- we
attract professional developers from industry, government, science and
education, along with enthusiast and student developers. Presentations can
be targeted at all skill levels, on any topic related to Python programming.

This year, DjangoCon AU returns under the PyCon Australia umbrella, it'll
run on Friday 1 August, before the main conference. Every Django-related
proposal we receive in the PyCon Australia CFP will also be considered as
part of the DjangoCon AU programme.

We'll also be running a Science and Data Analysis miniconf alongside
DjangoCon AU. Every Science, Engineering, and Data Analysis-related
proposal will be considered as part of that miniconf's programme.

Finally, OpenStack-related proposals will also be considered as part of an
OpenStack miniconf.

If you're a first-time Python developer, don't be afraid to submit a
presentation -- we're a community-driven conference, and we have a focus on
building the next generation of Python programmers.

We can't wait to see your proposals.

Hello!

Just wondering about the mini-confs: There's a Django one, but also an
OpenStack one, both on August 1st? I take it the times will overlap,
making it difficult to catch talks from both of those? There aren't any
details about the mini-confs on the web-site, yet...

Dear Melbourne Pythonistas,

Six days from now, Monday 5th May, we'll hold the May meeting of the MPUG!

Time: 6PM
Venue: Inspire 9: Level 1, 41 Stewart Street, Richmond. 50m from
Richmond Train Station.

Program:

15 minute talks

* Lars Yencken -- What's new in Python, now a regular feature in our
meetings, but this time with a Pycon US review.

* Tom Allen -- NP-Complete game design in Python

25 minute talks

* Tim Richardson -- Introduction to web2py

As usual, we'll order pizza, with a $10 contribution required. Drinks
are BYO, but you're invited to bring a six-pack to share if you want!

If you'd like to give the What's New in Python talk in a future
session, you have a cool project you want to show, or you want to give

Subject: [melbourne-pug] Moving the August MPUG meeting to the second Monday
 (and possibly the September one too)
Message-ID: <CAKADsbdBacx7QsQqEMvx+8rYxjUGoN3n-n2DHz+i-yKrphaKXg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone. I'm planning to ask the Inspire people whether we can
move the August and September sessions to the second Monday of the
month.

August so we don't overlap with Pycon AU. September so we can keep
having 4 weeks between meetings. The October meeting would go back to
the regular montly slot.

The success of the change of calendar depends on the availability of
the venue, but before asking Inspire9 I wanted to know what you think.

Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1404291329090.20459@Thor.home.gateway>

Has anybody had any luck using Stagger (http://code.google.com/p/stagger/) 
with Python 3.3 ?

When I run setup.py I get the output at the end of this email:   It failes 
to compile / install.

I have been struggling to find a Python 3 MP3 tag editor that is current 
and actually still works.   Stagger appears to be the clossest I can get. 
(its python 3 but it doesnt work)

I have had a quick look at mutagenx (but its documentation sucks)

I think I asked this a while back but I was asking for Python 2.7... I 
actually cant rememebr and I cant find my email archive so I dont rememebr 
what the outcome was) (and If I have asked this before can sombody point 
me to the date that I asked it? )

--> python33.exe setup.py output.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone in the group has experience writing IPython
Notebook extensions. It's something I've been looking at doing and I'm
finding it hard to get my head around the overall structure, particularly
the Javascript side of it - what documentation I've found is more like a
reference than an overview.

I'd love to see a Monday talk on this if anyone's up for it!

Otherwise, maybe I will eventually struggle through it and be able to give
that talk myself :)

Hi Clare,

I also would like to see a talk on this -- for a bit of fun I tried
something really simple:

--

%install_ext
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nfaggian/11395643/raw/42303d657b3b750c3aaef5ba710b6cdf4ed14c6b/extension_hello_world.py

%load_ext extension_hello_world

--

Looks like having access to the interactive shell is pretty powerful, you
can interact with it pretty easily. If you want to do something fancy I am
sure you can change the IPython state in interesting ways. The following
link might be a good place to look for examples:

    https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/Extensions-Index

At some point down the line I wouldn't mind giving a talk on IPython
parallel, maybe I can include a quick explanation of magics. For now +1 for
someone else giving a talk ;-)

Cheers,

Nathan

Hi Javier.

I think it makes a lot of sense to move the August meeting, given that a
lot (most?) people will be in Brisbane for PyCon AU.

I am ambivalent about moving the September meeting; I don't think having
a three week gap between two meetings hurts and I think it helps to be
as consistent as we can with the first Monday of the month (for example,
we always hold the November meeting on the first Monday, even though it
often means it is held over the Cup Day pseudo-long weekend).

Regards,
Graeme

Hi Graeme,

Yes, makes sense.

I'll ask Inspire9 about moving the August session, and report with their answer.

Subject: [melbourne-pug] May MPUG Meeting: NP-complete gaming, web2py,
 What's New -- Monday 5 May, 6PM, Inspire 9, 41 Stewart St Richmond

Hi guys,

My apologies, I didn't check dates properly before volunteering to lead
May's "what's new". I'm still overseas and will narrowly miss being back in
time for the meetup.

I've written up a recap of my favourite talks, and some themes I noticed:
http://quietlyamused.org/blog/2014/04/13/pycon-us-2014-recap/

Would someone else be willing to lead that chat this time around? With the
videos up so quickly on pyvideo.org, hopefully a lot of people can share
what talks from PyCon they've watched and enjoyed since then.

Apologies again,

Lars
