As nobody volunteered to give the talk this month, you will have to suffer through my talk. Or maybe I?m the one who will suffer, hard to tell. Anyway, it?s on a topic I have long hoped someone else would present and is pretty overdue. However, in the spirit of TriPythnon do-acracy, if you want to see something done, do It yourself. The meeting is at Caktus Group who have been providing nice snacks for us at meetings for awhile.

Conda is like pip, setuptools, and virtualenv all rolled into one. Attendees will see what Conda is, how to get and install Conda, how to manage Conda environments, how to install packages with Conda, how to use Anaconda Cloud repository channels especially the Conda-forge channel, and how to make recipes for Conda package distributions. Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration are also welcome and don't need to be pre-announced. Park in the municipal deck on the other side of the Arts Council across W. Morgan St. The meeting will be followed by our usual after-meeting at a nearby tavern for food and beverage.

Another thing to try: Don?t munge sys.path. Instead simply run Python in the directory where your source code lives. Python will usually look in the current working directory first.

The annual SciPy Conference brings together over 700 participants from industry, academia, and government to showcase their latest projects, learn from skilled users and developers, and collaborate on code development. The call for abstracts for SciPy 2018 for talks, posters and tutorials is now open. Talks and Posters (July 11-13, 2018) In addition to the general track, this year will have specialized tracks focused on: Data Visualization Reproducibilty and Software Sustainability Mini Symposia ? Astronomy ? Biology and Bioinformatics ? Data Science ? Earth, Ocean and Geo Science ? Image Processing ? Language Interoperability ? Library Science and Digital Humanities ? Machine Learning ? Materials Science ? Political and Social Sciences ? The will also be a SciPy Tools Plenary Session each day with 2 to 5 minute updates on tools and libraries. Tutorials (July 9-10, 2018) Tutorials should be focused on covering a well-defined topic in a hands-on manner. We are looking for awesome techniques or packages, helping new or advanced Python programmers develop better or faster scientific applications. We encourage submissions to be designed to allow at least 50% of the time for hands-on exercises even if this means the subject matter needs to be limited. Tutorials will be 4 hours in duration.

The annual SciPy Conference brings together over 700 participants from industry, academia, and government to showcase their latest projects, learn from skilled users and developers, and collaborate on code development. The call for abstracts for SciPy 2018 for talks, posters and tutorials is now open. Talks and Posters (July 11-13, 2018) In addition to the general track, this year will have specialized tracks focused on: Data Visualization Reproducibilty and Software Sustainability Mini Symposia . Astronomy . Biology and Bioinformatics . Data Science . Earth, Ocean and Geo Science . Image Processing . Language Interoperability . Library Science and Digital Humanities . Machine Learning . Materials Science . Political and Social Sciences . The will also be a SciPy Tools Plenary Session each day with 2 to 5 minute updates on tools and libraries. Tutorials (July 9-10, 2018) Tutorials should be focused on covering a well-defined topic in a hands-on manner. We are looking for awesome techniques or packages, helping new or advanced Python programmers develop better or faster scientific applications. We encourage submissions to be designed to allow at least 50% of the time for hands-on exercises even if this means the subject matter needs to be limited. Tutorials will be 4 hours in duration. In your tutorial application, you can indicate what prerequisite skills and knowledge will be needed for your tutorial, and the approximate expected level of knowledge of your students (i.e., beginner, intermediate, advanced).

As nobody volunteered to give the talk this month, you will have to suffer through my talk. Or maybe I?m the one who will suffer, hard to tell. Anyway, it?s on a topic I have long hoped someone else would present and is pretty overdue. However, in the spirit of TriPythnon do-acracy, if you want to see something done, do It yourself. The meeting is at Caktus Group who have been providing nice snacks for us at meetings for awhile. I?m not expecting them to, but when they do, it?s nice. http://tripython.org/Members/cbc/dec-17-mtg/ When: Thursday, December 14, 7pm Where: Caktus Group, 108 Morris St., Durham What: Chris Calloway will talk about Conda, the Python-powered, open-source, language-agnostic, cross-platform binary-dependency manager which has experienced wide adoption in the scientific Python and Python data science communities by virtue of inclusion within the Anaconda Python distribution. Conda is like pip, setuptools, and virtualenv all rolled into one. Attendees will see what Conda is, how to get and install Conda, how to manage Conda environments, how to install packages with Conda, how to use Anaconda Cloud repository channels especially the Conda-forge channel, and how to make recipes for Conda package distributions. Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration are also welcome and don't need to be pre-announced. Park in the municipal deck on the other side of the Arts Council across W. Morgan St. The meeting will be followed by our usual after-meeting at a nearby tavern for food and beverage. Come join us for a fun and informative evening. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway Applications Analyst University of North Carolina Renaissance Computing Institute (919) 599-3530 _______________________________________________ TriZPUG mailing list TriZPUG at python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/trizpug http://tripython.org is the Triangle Python Users Group From aikimark at aol.com Fri Dec 15 11:58:59 2017 From: aikimark at aol.com (Mark Hutchinson) Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2017 11:58:59 -0500 Subject: [TriPython] survey Message-ID: <1605b1d5da9-c08-ca3@webjasstg-vab08.srv.aolmail.net> Microsoft is considering adding Python as a supported language in Excel.

Meanwhile, among us folks, I'm not sure that I'd regard Python + Excel as progress. I'd much rather Microsoft (or anyone) got behind printer-friendly output for Python results. Something like R Markdown (which I adore), but which makes it easier to tweak page layout. Formatting the arrangement of multiple tables so that they fit on a single page is about the only reason to use a spreadsheet IMHO.
