Message-ID: <7BF49D62-6C2A-4305-9C69-CD6B36D9230B@pdxpython.org> Hey Pythonistas, (tl;dr -- we've got pizza tomorrow, so please RSVP. :)) Tomorrow will soon be today... and then today will be the day for PDX Python, at 6:30pm at Urban Airship! Alas, we'll have to wait one more day. So, what's on deck for tomorrow's meeting? * Nick Wilson is doing Michel's Module of the Month, the requests pypi module. * After the module, we've got Michael Schurter giving us a tour of some Delicious Data with mmstats. * Next, Chris McDonald will show us how he found a page in his Django site doing 100,000 (yes, one hundred *thousand*) queries with django-slow-log. * If there's time left over, we'll put out the call for lightning talks. And what could be more fitting to accompany a Delicious Data Demonstration than pizza? ATSI Group will be sponsoring pizza for all, and telling us a bit more about the openings they have for Python developers. After the meeting we'll head over to Bailey's Taproom for some beverages and banter. Won't you join us? If you'd like to be counted for pizza, RSVP over on Meetup, or email michelle at pdxpython.org with a +1. Thanks! Michelle --- Urban Airship is at 334 NW 11th Ave, in the Pearl District: http://goo.gl/maps/U6mC The main door will probably be locked, but the back door, which leads directly to the event space, will be propped open.

At last week's meeting there was some talk about getting together to brainstorm submissions for PyCon 2012 talks and/or tutorials. It would be amazing if we had some Portland representation at PyCon this year! The deadline for talk submission this year is October 12th - that's 3 weeks from tomorrow. If anyone is up for it, I think we should start brainstorming this weekend, and maybe we can get one or two more brainstorming/pep-talk sessions in before the deadline. Remember, you don't have to have a completely formed talk in order to submit, you just need an idea that you can flesh out by March if that idea gets accepted. It would also be great if anyone who has submitted and/or given talks at conferences before could join us and help us through the process. I've submitted to a conference once as a co-speaker, but it wasn't accepted, so the submitting (with Selena Deckelmann holding my hand the whole way ;)) is as much as I know about the process. I've created a survey to keep track of how many Python people are feeling up to submitting a talk, and who can meet when: http://goo.gl/q7fWI. Feel free to ignore the stationery on that survey... someday I will change it from my old Emma testing one. ;) Michelle P.S. We can also discuss how we might all get down there? *cough*gigantic decorated van*cough*??

Anyway, I should try it out as a lightning talk someplace. In fact, I might keep it to that even for Pycon, though I could easily go for longer. Pycons tend to be less education oriented and more business track how we go fast in the fast lane type stuff.

Already coding Python but still have areas of uncertainty you need to fill? Then come join me, Wesley Chun, author of Prentice-Hall's bestseller "Core Python" for a comprehensive intro/intermediate course coming up this May in Northern California, then enjoy a beautiful Fall weekend afterwards in San Francisco, the beautiful city by the bay. Please pass on this note to whomever you think may be interested. I look forward to meeting you and your colleagues! Feel free to pass around the PDF flyer linked down below. Write if you have questions. Since I hate spam, I'll only send out one reminder as the date gets closer.

We will immerse you in the world of Python in only a few days, showing you more than just its syntax (which you don't really need a book to learn, right?). Knowing more about how Python works under the covers, including the relationship between data objects and memory management, will make you a much more effective Python programmer coming out of the gate. 3 hands-on labs each day will help hammer the concepts home. Come find out why Google, Yahoo!, Disney, ILM/LucasFilm, VMware, NASA, Ubuntu, YouTube, and Red Hat all use Python. Users supporting or jumping to Plone, Zope, TurboGears, Pylons, Django, Google App Engine, Jython, IronPython, and Mailman will also benefit!

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/).

If wxPython is a hard-requirement this won't fit, but if you can use Qt, I came across http://www.python-camelot.com/ the other day via twitter. Someone said this is the Django of the desktop. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They have some good tools for building data-centric applications. http://dabodev.com/ -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org From rshepard at appl-ecosys.com Thu Sep 29 19:38:05 2011 From: rshepard at appl-ecosys.com (Rich Shepard) Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2011 10:38:05 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [portland] Non-Web RAD tool?

Brian, Camelot looks promising.

This is a definite 'go' since I can more quickly get back to speed with wxPython (as needed) than with PyQt.

This solves another problem I've been kicking down the road: how to deliver a complex application to my client and the regulators when I have the complete model developed and working. All my data are in a postgres database; I may need to contact Ed and Paul to learn how to incorporate GRASS and R scripts within the business rules component (or as a separate component).

In-Reply-To: References: <4E84AC6A.5070903@alldunn.com> Message-ID: If you just need to slap a UI in front of a database to do some data entry, try installing Open Office, and using "Base". It's basically a clone of Access, which gives you the ability to slap together a form using a designer, and wire that to a database. Once you've entered your data into the "Base" database, you can either just work with it there, or migrate it over to a real database. That part should be really easy.

Troy, A bit ago I removed OO.o and replaced it with LO. Spent several hours (and a couple of mail list threads) trying to make it work. It doesn't. Somehow, the postgres drivers are either not found or not recognized.
