[melbourne-pug] Next meeting 6:00pm Monday 2nd of May @ RMIT

[Graeme Cross]

Hi all.

Apologies in advance: I won't be at tomorrow night's meeting; became a
dad again on Friday night, so life here is chaotic but good :)

A couple of things that are worth a look:

1. There's a new version of PyPy out, with Python 2.7 support, speed
improvements and lots of other interesting changes. Well worth a look

http://pypy.org/

2. Jesse Noller has a great blog write-up about some new Python docs. If
you tend to only ever read the documentation when you are stuck, you
might find Jesse's write-up to be worth a read (and it reminded me to
revisit the awesome "collections" module):

Cheers
