All,

This would be a great opportunity to practice a talk you're
considering for PyCaroinas.

Just sayin'

Message-ID: <CAGaVwhTRN1tOa6-UCJTamttC40VyRf-Fw24xG5rCEbhcL3C-eQ@mail.gmail.com>

Trizpug Members,

I've considered changing the original schedule for a while, but July's
first Wednesday
is actually July 4th, so it was a good time to go ahead and do it.
We'll have Project
Nights from now on the Second Wednesday of the month. This will space out the
Project Night and the traditional TriZPUG Talk Night each month,
rather than lump
them back to back as they have been.

See you all there on July 11th!
Calvin Spealman

There are a lot of python frameworks... I've been working with some RoR devs at my current job - from what I've seen the closest thing to RoR is Django. 

The philosophy and approach is different, but I think the ease for new users, the general data modeling concepts  and the site-vs-app conundrum are very close. 

But, to answer your question, you need an apples-to-apples comparison.

I think that Django would be the closest. How they compare would be best answered by other folks with more direct experience with both.

Subject: [TriZPUG] Django Bootcamp Awesomeness
Message-ID: <4FD60467.6030905@unc.edu>

A bunch of us were at Django Bootcamp this weekend, some as students and 
some as instructors. If you missed it, you should hope it is repeated, 
because you missed something really, really good.

If this was Caktus's first time presenting a training like this, I 
wouldn't know it, because their presentations were perfectly timed to 
the time allotted. Also, I learned a good deal about training timing 
there myself. The three hours in the morning, three hours in the 
afternoon format was very relaxing and therefore conducive to easy learning.

The training itself was pretty perfect in that the amount of material 
was just enough to get me doing something useful with Django and then 
pointing me in the right direction ahead. It felt like a right-sized 
meal, not too much, not too little.

I'd like to thank Caktus, especially Tobias, Karen, Colin, Mark, Nicole, 
and Scott, for a really enjoyable weekend and a truly excellent training.

BTW, good job on the catering, too.

I would encourage those of you who went to Django Bootcamp to go to the 
next Project Night scheduled by Calvin. We can work on those extensions 
to the Crossword Drill app Mark proposed at the end of the training to 
get the app Cali VC-ready. Anybody have Sean Parker's digits?

Also, there will be lightning talks the day before, so poster presenters

I was surprised to find myself there as my coworker was unable at the last minute to attend.

I heartily concur with Chris's comments.  Caktus staff made sure everyone kept up.  Whole training experience was the best ever.  Material was focused and well organized.

do you know how to write regular expressions?
this works
(r'<span class="price">(.*?)</span>', html)

this doesn't
(r'<div class="product-image-cropped"\.+\title="(.*?)">', html)

I am trying to write the expression which means

find <div class="product-image-cropped

followed by a load of character which will change

and of undefined length

then grab title="this text whatever it is"

in html

I'd sugest using an html parsing library to do this, but the mistake in your regexp is the '.+' part - you want to match any _whitespace_ not any character - \s+ should work (\s matches any whitespace char)

But also be careful with .* inside the attr, that will match " and <> too (the non greedy flag helps here but don't rely on it elsewhere!).

yes, BeautifulSoup is great. I also use lxml but it is more strict in
the html it can consume. If you have to parse any old html,
BeautifulSoup is your friend. Otherwise, if your html is really valid
html, lxml has a great interface and of course is useful for xml
parsing and validating.

Hi Mark,
I use regexes just often enough to get in over my head. I've found the following utility invaluable:
http://cthedot.de/retest/

It runs locally and allows one to enter text and a regex to apply to that text, and shows the output in realtime. 

Hope this helps
Philip

Hi Mark,

Why are . and t escaped with a backslash? This is a raw string.

Escaping the RE metacharacter dot would search for a literal dot.

Escaping t in a raw search pattern still matches tab, even though the 
string is raw, because RE recognizes the standard escapes supported by 
Python string literals:

 >>> re.search(r'\t', '\t')
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x02C18988>
 >>>

Does this help? I'm assuming the tuple is a Django url pattern.

(Thanks, Django Fundamentals Bootcamp!)

Hi Chris,

I have to claim ignorance - my son was asking and I turned to the group he says he fixed it with help from the group and this website

http://re-try.appspot.com/

He used \.+ not .+

That sounds like your point? Awesome response from Trizpug btw...

Best

Mark

Tomorrow, at 6 p.m., Keith Bergelt of the Open Invention Network will make a presentation on patents and their interaction with open source.

The presentation will be at Splat Space, in downtown Durham.? If you're interested, please visit the Meetup page for the event for signup / directions / parking information.

(I'm posting to the TriZPUG list on the assumption that there's some general interest in open-source topics among the members.)

Message-ID: <CAGaVwhQAuKVOAeZ+qKgKmREU_=EXNxQfq+Oj=j6tG=-7kjMpMg@mail.gmail.com>

PyCarolinas 2012 Is a Go!

We?ve now finalized the location and dates, and can officially
announce that PyCarolinas 2012, the first Python conference held in
the Carolinas, will be October 20th and 21st at the Kerr building of
the UNC School of Pharmacy.

PyCarolinas is aFREEconference. We are extremely lucky to have an
excellent space donated, and will raise our additional funds outside
of registration costs. There will be a registration opening up closer
to the conference date, with a cut-off around 150 participants.

We?ll have two well-equipped rooms to fill, hopefully splitting our
talks into novice and advanced tracks. Day one will be all talk, and
day two will rolling and afternoon and evening of sprints.

We have a great space to fill our first year with, so please read the
Call for Proposals re-post below and help make this a great
conference! We want anything you?d like to talk about. What have you
built? What problems have you solved? What experiences can you talk
about? If you aren?t sure, propose anyway! We?ll try our best to give
feedback, so if you aren?t sure you have a fully fleshed idea: propose
it for the feedback and see what happens.

REPOST OF CALL FOR PROPOSALS (originally
http://blog.pycarolinas.org/post/23480731404/call-for-proposals)
PyCarolinas 2012 Call For Proposals

PyCarolinas 2012, the first Python conference held in the carolinas,
is now accepting proposals! We?re looking for proposals for talks you
can present to this great and growing Python community.

PyCarolinas will be held in October in Chapel Hill, NC. The exact
location and dates of the two-day conference will be announced
shortly.

The proposal deadline is July 20, 2012. Please submit your proposals
to talks at pycarolinas.org.
About PyCarolinas 2012

PyCarolinas 2012 is the first Python Conference held in the carolinas
and will be located in Chapel Hill, NC this October. The specific date
and location will be announced shortly. It is a two day conference,
with one day of talks and one day or sprinting.
Who should submit a proposal?

Anyone! We?re looking for as broad a cross-section of the Python
community as possible.

We?re looking for both experienced conference speakers and people new
to technical conferences; industry professionals and hobbyists;
entrepreneurs, researchers, and system administrators. You?ve probably
learned something that other Python users could benefit from, so come
toPyCarolinas and share your story. Maybe you?ve written the next
great data mining package, or you have a case study to share, or
you?ve learned something about how to start a Python users? group, or
you just want to help novices learn how to choose a Python web
framework.

If you have something to tell your fellow Python programmers, this is
your chance.

You don?t have to be a professional speaker to give a talk at
PyCarolinas. Presenters can be volunteers from all walks of life and
all levels of experience. From hardcore hackers to educators to
hobbyists, anyone with something to say and the desire to say it is
welcome.

If you have a topic idea but you?re not sure exactly how to turn it
into a killer session, let us know! The program committee is happy to
work with you to help your session shine.
What kind of sessions can I give?

PyCarolinas 2012, as a small event, is acceptingonly traditional
sessions during the main conference. We are looking for sessions at 30
and 45 minutes. All levels of talks from from novice-level overviews
to advanced topics are welcome.
Conference registration and travel

PyCarolinas is entirely volunteer-organized and run, and must keep
costs as low as possible. We are unable to provide assistance or
compensation for speakers traveling to and staying near the conference
for the duration of the event.
Timeline and deadlines

Please don?t delay! The proposal window is long, but the sooner you
submit a proposal, the more time we?ll have to help you put forward
the best proposal. The program committee will officially begin
reviewing proposals and giving feedback as soon as the CFP closes, but
the team will attempt to begin reviewing and discussing proposals
prior to the close of the Call for Proposals to assist authors.

Proposals for talks will be accepted until July 20th. The list of
selected talks and tutorials will be finalized by the end of August.

Thank you!

Submit your proposal to talks at pycarolinas.org and thanks for helping

Subject: [TriZPUG] PythonAnywhere Link From Last Night's Meeting
Message-ID: <4FEDCA68.6050900@unc.edu>

Here's the link to the Python training/collaborating web product I 
demonstrated last night:

http://www.pythonanywhere.com

I realized later that the login problem I had at first when showing the 
product was I had sendRefererHeader turned off instead of on. Doh!

If you did a lightning talk last night with links to what you 
demonstrated, please post them now.

It was nice to have so many lightning talks last night. Thanks.

And for those interested in hosting on PythonAnywhere, here's a link with
more information about plan limitations and their intended uses cases:

This link was working when I grabbed it last night, but the site seems to
be down now..

Here are some background and tutorial links on extending Vim with Python:

Here's a simple example with urllib, that identifies an IP address under
the cursor by country:

Enjoy! I'd be interested in seeing a lightning talk on equivalent features
in emacs or other editors. I'll try to put something together on Python +
Blender, which is much more fun to demo...

OK, apparently I am not the best representative for pythonanywhere. My 
browser messed up the initial log in last night (that was not 
pythonanywhere's fault). And now, right when I sent the link to this 
email list, pythonanywhere, which I just discovered earlier this morning 
runs on EC2, is suffering from an AWS outage:

https://twitter.com/AWS_Status_US/status/218718173782999040

I'll repost the link when Amazon gets their act back together.

EC2 seems to have recovered. Go look at this:

Very cool, super inexpensive.

Here's rlcompleter2 which was my first lighting talk:

It also has a nifty RegExp cheat sheet which I failed to mention last night.

Here's the included module list which I didn't show last night:

https://www.pythonanywhere.com/batteries_included/

I also had no problem firing up virtualenv on pythonanywhere and pip 
installing packages at will from Pypi.

We were talking about super cheap Django hosting last night and 
PythonAnywhere just popped up on Djagnofriendly:

Thanks for hosting the meeting! ?It was nice to see some familiar faces and meet some new folks.

Here's the specific FAQ I was pointing out related to the problem I encountered using threads with pygtk:

FAQ: I am using a separate thread to run my code, but the application (or the UI) hangs
http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?file=faq20.006.htp&req=show


More info on pygtk can be found on the main pygtk site:?http://pygtk.org/

For anyone interested in midi, the Python interface to the ALSA API I was using is at?http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/~brinkman/software/pyseq/

Info on the piece of hardware I was interfacing with (including an audio sample) are at?http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/airbase99.php
