A lot of the local Python User Groups [ http://python.org.in/ ] have
crowdsourced good resources for learning python at various levels. Here'
what we have at PythonPune =>

Hi Saager,

The pune python link you provided above to crowdsourcing is not
working. Can you tell us more about it ?

Explain 'not working'... I just hit the link and the page rendered fine.
The page is simply a curated list of online resources that should be
helpful to people wanting to learn python.

If you're aksing about the crowdsourcing bit and want to contribute to the
link, refer our Overview of git and pull
requests<http://pune.python.org.in/pages/git-and-pull-requests.html>
.
That page outline the workflow to submit changes to the site. Since you
most likely wouldn't have push privs to the repo, you'll have to fork and
send us a PR.

Also, don't take this the wrong way, but I'd suggest a quick reading of Eric
Raymond's How to ask questions the smart way <http://bit.ly/how2askQ>.
I find it saves time and avoids frustration in the long run.

Feel free to get back to me with any queries/comments you may have.

It was a DNS name resolution problem from my ISP. Somehow BSNL dns
server wont resolve pune.python.org.in (BSNL is my ISP). So i removed
their dns server and added google's public dns and it works fine.
Sorry for the noise.

Hi,

I would love to do a talk on various things to keep in mind while building
an open source Python application. The slides will be based on my blog post
(
http://kirang.in/2013/09/09/building-an-open-source-python-application-the-right-way/),
so you can get a first-hand idea of what the content would look like.

Cheers,

This book will take you through everything you need to know to develop
UI applications. You will learn about installing/building PySide in
various major operating systems as well as the basics of GUI
programming. The book will then move on to discuss event management,
signals and slots, and the widgets and dialogs available with PySide.
Database interaction and manipulation is also covered. In a nutshell,
this book is great for learning how to program applications with GUI
and for mastering how to develop your own applications and how to run
them across platforms.

The interesting part is the author. - Venkateshwaran Loganathan
He is from Selaiyur, Chennai.

Happy to know about Chennai guys are writing books for international publishers.

Subject: [Chennaipy] [Project Idea] Command line application to install
	popular web application
Message-ID: <CAND2795H06-KQ6EDaYtsXngjrY_o_YGxLdK3aW7MNyU4qfyg0w@mail.gmail.com>

I was exploring Fantastico -  a web application comes with cpanel, used on
web hosting servers.

It lists the popular PHP based web applications and gives a one click
install facility.

It just asks for the location to install, admin username and password.
Then, it installs the web application.

It will be nice to build a similar command line application in python or
ruby to install famous web applications in localhost.

This will be very useful for anyone to explore any web application,
without  getting into the troubles of installing.

Is there anyone interested in doing this ?

Or is there anything like this available already?

Share your thoughts.

It seems juju is only for cloud infrastructure.

I am looking to install web application in one click or simple command
line options in localhost.

= October Monthly Meet

== Date & Time

26 October
3:00pm to 5:00pm

== Venue

Zilogic Systems,
Fourth Main Road,
Kamaraj Nagar,
Thiruvanmiyur,
Chennai

Location map: http://www.zilogic.com/contact.html

== Agenda

Talk 1: Building an open-source Python application the right way
by Kiran Gangadharan
Duration: 45min

This talk covers the best practices/conventions to be followed while
building a full fledged and open source Python application. The talk
also presents a template project that will help to bootstrap an open
source project.

Talk 2: Python Byte Code Hacking - Part 2
by Vijay Kumar
Duration: 45min

The Python interpreter converts Python programs into byte codes and
executes them. In this talk we will understand what these byte codes
mean, how to disassemble them and how to modify them to do some really
cool stuff. We will work our way up with small examples and at the end
of the talk we will have our own working implementation of this recipe
-- http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576944-the-goto-decorator/

If you would like to give a lightning talk, just come prepared, we
will be able to accommodate you.

If you are new to Python, the tutorial at
http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/python/ will give you a quick
overview of what Python is all about.

Regards,
Vijay

Subject: [Chennaipy] October meetup minutes
Message-ID: <CALGXSRT+4LsDKH55POLxH0eUwpjBE67fA68L86TOnqXe=7GuXg@mail.gmail.com>

# October meet-up minutes

The October meetup for Chennai.py was held at Zilogic Systems at 3-5pm on
Sat 26 Oct2013. Nearly 20 people attended it. There was one talk this time
- concluding edition of Python Bytecode Hacking by Vijay Kumar.

## Bytecode hacking by Vijay Kumar

The speaker started with a brief introduction to Python for the new
members, and then proceeded to give a recap of the first part of his talk.
He had given the first part of the talk at the previous meet-up in
September.

The first part had details of the Python bytecode, some basics of Python
interpreter operation and related tools and libraries. In this part, the
agenda was to implement 'goto' functionality as an example application of
bytecode manipulation. Goto is not present in the language by default, and
the idea was to modify bytecode at necessary points to get the jump-effect
of goto. The code example used was -

      def test_goto(n):
          s = 0
          label .myLoop        #  NOP here
          if n <= 0:
              return s
          s += n
          n -= 1
          goto .myLoop        # JUMP_ABSOLUTE to label. myLoop line

By default the test_goto function would fail on *label*, but by replacing
its bytecode with NOP and JUMP_ABSOLUTE instructions function can be made
to work.

There were separate methods (nop_labels, inject_jump) used for doing this
on the generated bytecode. The new bytecode was used to construct an
entirely new code object, which is used to construct a new function. The
new function is then added as a decorator on the existing
*test_goto*function. The entire code can be found in the previously
shared ipynb[1].
Vijay, please also add code samples to the talk-repo[2] if possible.

In between, there was a discussion on immutables on Python. Strings are
immutable, and so are tuples. This advantage of this is improved
efficiency. The speaker described a few ways of modifying a string, and one
member (Aswin) mentioned that there was a library that allowed the creation
of mutable strings. Aswin, please share the a link to the library here.

There was also a discussion on Pymite [3] which is a very lightweight
(~32/64kb) python bytecode interpreter that can be used in things like
embedded systems. And then about another project called Pyside [4], which
has Qt bindings for Python and can be used for desktop applications. The
other alternatives mentioned were: Wx [5], Gtk [6], Tk [7]. All of them
work cross platform, but get native look and feel to varying degrees.

Please add/correct anything I missed here.
Regards,
Abhishek
