Sat Mar 26 12:18:32 EDT 2016

Hi Pythonistas,

I'm Ekpo David a python enthusiast and JavaScript front end developer.
I've been on this mailing list for a while and on the slack channel but haven't introduction myself till now. 

Anyways, was gingered to do so when I saw Osay (the awesome python programmer) had joined the list :)

I'd also like to indicate my ‎interest in contributing to the pyBook project.

Warm Regards, 

EKPO DAVID 
Freelance Web Developer and Python Programmer.

Since Osayamen, by name oxax on Slack channel has been on the #pydata
channel, it's been buzzing. That section of slack has been busy for days
now, thanks to you all.

@Aisha, I enjoy your mails a lot. They are usually laced with funny sides,
please keep it up. After all, it shouldn't be formal all the time, should
it?

I welcome the PyLadies and I'm also making sure that I give off my time, as
it permits, to help the event see the light of the day. For those who do
not know, @Aisha has been working hard for a venue and we look forward to
response after the holidays. Aisha, you too much!

Well, I would like to announce to the community that I pasted some
exception catching code at the Slack channel, please check it out and feel
free to use it to taste. And if you feel it needs and amendment, you can
also alter it as you wish.

I program in Flask, that's not in doubt, but the inbuilt server for
development could be slow at times and it also lacks the ability to have a
certificate to make it serve connections on secure protocol, https (on this
I might be wrong, so please correct me).

But I took it upon myself to draw out a part of the Rocket webserver that
web2py uses and then added some generated certificates (this is to avoid
re-invention the wheel). The beauty of it now is that it's fast in starting
up and can serve Flask, Django and other wsgi frameworks.

Rocket webserver, according to this link: https://launchpad.net/rocket, is
a quality webserver that can be used in production. I've yet to use it in
production but on development, it runs circles. As against the version
1.2.4 on PyPi and the parent page, the one I have is version 1.2.6. I have
been able to use it for tests too.

I have added it as the default test server for Flask applications in PySide
and it also stands as a separate module. My tests now complete faster. I
have attached a screenshot of the app running on a secure localhost. I'm
sorry, I tried cropping it but do not have the app to do so on my Mac.

In essence, I have to modules for you guys, where do I release them to? Do
we have a fixed account online for such? If it's missing, can I create a
github account for PyNigeria? And I also had discussion with Aisha on how
to make us viable and relevant in the scheme of things in this country but
a meetup is necessary to discuss them. When, where and how do we meet?

Python rocks!
