I was a bit late to looking at the kickstarter project. Would be
interested to know if you plan on continuing with this after fulfilling
the kickstarter orders.

Probably yes, unless for some reason there's not enough interest. So far it
seems like we will.

You can still pre-order one here if you want:

Message-ID: <CA+8hrDif64=pTx3RyoRm5+tyb+qQjdbA5oV879fk71+oPXLgOA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone!

We're looking forward to the next meeting of the Melbourne Python user
group tonight (Monday 6th May). We have these two talks planned:


*1. Ben Dechrai: "Let's connect our front door to the internet! What could
possibly go wrong?"*

Securing IoT is hard, and the last thing we want to do is let some stranger
in! Let's take a step back and consider other ways of securing that
door, and granting access remotely, without connecting your door to
the internet, while adhering to common protocols and data formats
throughout. By mixing up a little Near Field Communication with JSON Web
Tokens, sprinkling some Rich Communication Services and a fairly simple
native mobile app, we should be able to create and demo an effective
security process for letting the milkman in!

Join us on this interactive journey, and maybe when one door closes,
another will, actually, open.


*2. Ned Letcher: "Snek Wrangling: Python Installation and Package
management with pyenv, pip-tools, and pipx"*

Python's "batteries included" philosophy means it comes bundled with a rich
standard library offering a powerful set of accelerators. When it comes to
managing Python installations and project dependencies, however, the
built-in tooling leaves something to be desired. Virtual environments are
crucial for isolating your project dependencies, but they can be
frustrating to work with without any supporting tooling. Python's "pip"
package manager is great, but it does not provide a built-in means for
defining and tracking project requirements separate from downstream
dependencies. After some experimentation and a few projects later, it's all
too easy to get yourself into a spaghetti-like mess of various Python
installations that can step on each other's toes.

In this talk, Ned will describe a toolchain containing the packages pyenv,
pip-tools, and pipx, that together help smooth over these challenges and
remove friction from your Python development experience.



*3. Announcements and pizza*


*When:* 5.45pm for mingling; talks from 6pm; pizza afterwards

*Where:* Level 2, 17 Hardware Lane, Melbourne CBD

*How to get there:* Walk 8 minutes from Flinders Street station or 5
minutes from Melbourne Central

*Sponsorship:* many thanks to Outcome Life for providing the venue, Biarri
for sponsoring pizzas, and Python Charmers for organisation and meetup
 sponsorship.

*RSVP:* Please respond on Meetup.com so we can track numbers: https://www.
meetup.com/Melbourne-Python-Meetup-Group/

Do come along! We hope to see you there! :-)

Best wishes,
    Ed

Hi everyone!

We're looking forward to the next meeting of the Melbourne Python user
group next week, on Monday 3rd June. We have these two talks planned:

*1. Slava Razbash: How to foretell with Python and AutoML*

Slava will show you how AutoML can be used in a bank marketing use case.
Predictive modelling that once required deep data science skills is now
accessible to the AI Engineer. This talk makes use of Microsoft Azure
Machine Learning Services. The same principles can be applied to any cloud
provider or any in-house setup.

*2. Dilan Kalpa: Accessing Google Spreadsheet Data using Python*

When people need to build a CRUD app for internal use, most probably think
of using a database like MySQL or MongoDb. But Google Docs as a backend
(consumed via JSON) really does come in handy when it comes to handling
internal app data.
In this presentation, Dilan is going to show you how to use the Gspresd
Python package to read, write, and delete data from a Google Spreadsheet
with just a few lines of code.

*3. Announcements and pizza*

*When:* 5.45pm for mingling; talks from 6pm; pizza afterwards
*Where:* Level 2, 17 Hardware Lane, Melbourne CBD
*How to get there:* Walk 8 minutes from Flinders Street station or 5
minutes from Melbourne Central
*Sponsorship:* many thanks to Outcome Life for providing the venue, Biarri
for sponsoring pizzas, and Python Charmers for organisation and meetup
 sponsorship.
*RSVP:* Please respond accurately on Meetup.com so we can track numbers:

Do come along! We hope to see you there! :-)
