Those who were at PyCon AU would've been pretty impressed by the
number of jobs advertised on the whiteboards (we had to add one when
the first filled up!). Just in the last 24 hours a couple of jobs have
popped up on the python.org job board as well:

http://www.python.org/community/jobs/index.html#buildingiq-sydney-australia
sounds very interesting.

And the one below it which is in Melbourne.

Interesting times to be a Python developer!

Someone was talking to me about an interest in this area just last
week. Damn memory, who was it?!?!?

Definitely an interesting time to be in Python! :)

Sorry to say I can't attend MPUG meets for the foreseeable future,
what with work and a small baby. I still wanted to say hi. So...

Hi everyone, top-posting is not *always* evil, is it?

I can't find the better version of this, (despite having read it
recently?!) so please accept this smaller offering instead:

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

For any two-message pair, bottom-posting rules. For any long-running
thread, top-posting wins through convenience. When quoting is
required, bottom-posting rules. When posting an entire fresh message,
top-posting is substantially easier in most mail clients.

For any group of people, there will always be diversity of practise...

Jumping into the debate philosophically: there are multiple reasons for
complexity.  The software might be complex because the domain is complex,
because requirements are poorly organised and mapped to software, because
different companies have different requirements, because different types of
users are involved with dramatically different interaction requirements, or
because the software design/architecture/code is complex.  I think it's
quite possible for software to get more complex developing the wrong
software in the right way (at a micro level) than developing the right
software with the right scope in the wrong way (though I'm sure I hate
complex code at least as much as anyone here).

I personally prefer working with software in a complex domain and trying to
understand how the complexities of the software fit into the domain and vice
versa.  I find it gives much more satisfaction if I know what problems I am
solving in the real world (which isn't always the same as the software
problem you think you are solving).

Hi,

Are you interested in a presentation on the following topic : "Testing
on multiple versions of Python with Jenkins" ?

If yes, I can prepare it for next Monday (05/09)... I promise, I won't
do it in french. It should take about 7-8 minutes.

Unfortunately, I am unable to attend tonight, so I will instead post
what I planned to say (which in the end is very little) here:

 0. I wanted a system that was: parallel, produced xunit, easily
configurable/categorisable, and teardown/etc
 1. I played with unittest, py.test, and nose
 2. unittest is for structuring your tests in classes, with asserts and so on.
  + nose and py.test are runners; nose has a lot of plugins *but the
multiprocess and xunit ones did not work together*. Also, the
multiprocess one had problems in my specific case (alone).
  + py.test works in parallel, and produces xunit xml, however the
configuration of it is not ideal (it's a little fancy, with a DI-style
funcargs thing).

 In summary, py.test is the better option, but may take a bit of time
in the setup; and in general - make sure all plugins work together! I
didn't do this, and I paid the price. However, almost all the work I
did to make my system work for nose wasn't wasted (nose and py.test
pick up the same categorisation of tests, etc).

Not to cause any offence, but I have a question.  Why ask for
"experience" length at all?  It's a limited field (of developers), and
you're reviewing their resumes and interviewing potentials anyway.
Okay, so getting 1000 resumes is bad and you want some source
limitation, but it's always hard to find talent so - when I'm looking
for work - always ignore this number anyway and show my stuff.

Just my 2c.

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Andrew

That is quite true but I think that shows your confidence in your
abilities which is also a great selling point.  Are you available at
the moment?

None taken by the way, the experience is a hurdle, nothing more, as you say.

Hello everyone,

I'm fairly urgently looking for some contracting work in the python/web
space, I would also consider full time depending on the location (I'm in the
eastern suburbs).  My resume is attached and you can read about what I do at
http://www.pangur.com.au.

Thank you kindly!

Hi all,

The next meeting is next Monday!

Tennessee is apparently going to tell us about "using Python and AI to
do poorly in the Rock Paper Scissors competition" :-)

I'd like to trial a short talk about PyPI, availability and mirroring.
We'll see how it goes. Is there anyone on the list who knows about
buildout (who might also come along to the meet)?

As always, feel free to pipe up and talk on whatever subject you find
interesting!

As usual the details, including talk signup, are at http://j.mp/mpug

buildout != buildbot. zc.buildout is a build tool (similar to scons or buildr).

Message-ID: <CAD+XWwprkoPeD4EMBeAJM42V7twAGEd225j8Px=r+QwK5N4nvw@mail.gmail.com>

The deadline for PyCon 2012 tutorial, talk, and poster proposals is
under 15 days away, so be sure to get your submissions in by October
12, 2011. Whether you?re a first-timer or an experienced veteran,
PyCon is depends on you, the community, coming together to build the
best conference schedule possible. Our
call for proposals (http://us.pycon.org/2012/cfp/) lays out the
details it takes to be included in the lineup for the conference in
Santa Clara, CA on March 7-15, 2012.

If you?re unsure of what to write about, our recent survey yielded a
large list of potential talk topics
(http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/need-talk-ideas.html), and plenty
of ideas for tutorials (INSERT TUTORIAL POST). We?ve also come up with
general tips on proposal writing at
http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/08/writing-good-proposal.html to ensure
everyone has the most complete proposal when it comes time for review.
As always, the program committee wants to put together an incredible
conference, so they?ll be working with submitters to fine tune
proposal details and help you produce the best submissions.

We?ve had plenty of great news to share since we first announced the
call for proposals. Paul Graham of Y Combinator was recently announced
as a keynote speaker
(http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/announcing-first-pycon-2012-keynote.html),
making his return after a 2003 keynote. David Beazley, famous for his
mind-blowing talks on CPython?s Global Interpreter Lock, was added to
the plenary talk series
(http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/announcing-first-pycon-2012-plenary.html).
Sponsors can now list their job openings on the ?Job Fair? section of
the PyCon site (http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/announcing-pycon-2012-fair-page-sponsor.html).
We?re hard at work to bring you the best conference yet, so stay tuned
to PyCon news at http://pycon.blogspot.com/ and on Twitter at
https://twitter.com/#!/pycon.

We recently eclipsed last year?s sponsorship count of 40 and are
currently at a record 52 organizations supporting PyCon. If you or
your organization are interested in sponsoring PyCon, we?d love to
hear from you, so check out our sponsorship page
(http://us.pycon.org/2012/sponsors/).

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend, but I wanted to share this
with the group:

A Mandelbrot renderer written in obfuscated Python. Proof that you can
write C in any language (even Python), but also a tour de force,
considering that its author manages to arbitrarily arrange the code in
a pretty picture of a Mandelbrot set. This kind of code-as-ascii-art
is common practice in languages like Perl, but rarer and far from
trivial to accomplish in a language with meaningful indentation like
Python.

Enjoy!

I envy your skill then. I see that, and I think I probably have enough
free time, I just wouldn't be able of thinking up so many interesting

Hmm... I wouldn't read too much into my comment, other than saying that 
I think some people clearly have way too much free time on their hands.

Although I could imagine playing around with mandelbrot sets and the 
like if I had lots of free time, I have no interest in writing 
obfuscated python, or indeed obfuscated code in any language.  Things 
like Perl golf just do no interest me as a sport.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
