Intro, word from our sponsors 3) 7:15pm Extracting musical information from sound By: Adrian Holovaty Music Information Retrieval technology has gotten good enough that you extract musical metadata from your sound files with some degree of accuracy. Find out how to use Python (along with third-party APIs) to determine everything from the key/tempo of a song to the pitch/timbre of individual notes. Then we'll do some amusing analysis of popular tunes. This is a talk from PyCon 2012, with some small improvements. 4) 8:10pm BBQSQL By: Ben Toews Ben recently discovered event driven concurrency. He will be talking about some of the basics as well as trying to compare it with other concurrency options. The focus will be on its application in a few recent projects as well as a comparison of Python's gevent and node.js. 5) 8:45pm Web app development with bottle.py, twitter bootstrap and formalchemy. By: Joshua Herman Bottle is a fast, simple and lightweight micro web-framework for Python. It is distributed as a single file module. I will show you how to use it with twitter bootstrap and interface with form alchemy so you can make a quick utility fast. A word... ----------- from our meeting sponsor...
