From benetd at yahoo.com Wed Nov 18 00:42:23 2009 From: benetd at yahoo.com (Benet Devereux) Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:42:23 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Madison] November meeting Message-ID: <769953.86028.qm@web110716.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Pythonistas, It's less than 2 weeks until the next meeting, and we still don't have a topic/presenter. I've been looking around for someone to talk about SQLAlchemy, because there was considerable interest in it at the last meeting, but with no luck so far. In a pinch, of course, I can run through the tutorial and then turn around and present it to people, but before doing that: does anybody have some Python module, Python-related technology, or application of Python, that they'd be interested in talking about at this month's meeting? Anything goes, pretty much, as long as there's Python involved somehow. -B. __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

It's basically a python interface to the Java Lucene full text search system, which is an awesome piece of software that can search millions of documents in a very short period of time. http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/ I'm thinking that an easy presentation on it would be to make a small django app that just gives you a search box to search your document index. I think some people could find it useful. If you guys ever don't have a topic, I can definitely present on this. -Max Lynch On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 11:33 AM, Farhan Ahmad wrote: > Matt, actually, I am interested in both the OODBMS and SQLAlchemy.

I'm not familiar with the others (CouchDB, Durus, TokyoTyrant, etc.) but I'm interested in them. Perhaps we should all pick one, run through the tutorial, and then give a 20m overview?
