Hi all,

I'd like to move forward with this project, so if anyone else has any
ideas, please send in your designs by Monday, September 10. Thanks to
everyone who has participated!!

I've consolidated the designs we've received so far and attached them.

Cheers,

Betsy

Hi all,

This is your last chance to submit a design before we put them to a vote!
We received lots of excellent ideas and suggestions, but only 4 actual
designs (and 2 of them were pretty much the same). They don't have to be
perfect - hand-drawn is fine.

Voting will go live on Monday, September 17, so there are still a few days
to get your design in.

Cheers,

Betsy

Woah. Voting? Who? Why? I thought we were just noodling to give a designer
some ideas, I didn't realise it was a competition.

Personally I have no graphics training, but I work with a professional
design team, and I know how much better their ideas can be than mine.

Whatever the result of this vote, let's be clear in our minds that our
end-product should merely be a starting point for the designer.

Yes, the "winning" design would be a starting point for a designer. Sorry I
wasn't clear on that!

Message-ID: <cc11687b-0cd9-c9b7-c8e1-e0d7c95872e2@python.org>

Dear EuroPython'istas,

We are in preparations of our venue RFP for the EuroPython 2019
edition and are asking for your help in finding the right locations
for us to choose from.

If you know of a larger venue - hotel or conference center - that can
accommodate at least 1400 attendees, please send the venue details to
board at europython.eu. We will then make sure to include them in our RFP
once we send it out.

The more venues we gather to reach out to, the better of a selection
process we can guarantee, which in return, will ultimately result in a
better conference experience for everybody involved.

When sending us venue suggestions, please make sure to provide us with
the following: name and URL of the venue, country and city, as well as
the contact details of the sales person in charge of inquiries (full
name, email and phone).

We were planning to start the RFP process in the coming days, so
please make sure you send us your recommendations as soon as possible.

Recently, we as organizers dealt with somebody on Slack in distress. This
created a lot of tough decisions on responses. Alan Vezina my fellow
founder of PuPPy took a lead. Following some coaching from social workers,
he made a call to 911.

Wondering if other organizers have anything to share.

We didn't build the Ark in this case. But now after the rain trying to
backfill with some process so we're better prepared.

I would always try to refer them to trained crisis counselors, e.g.,
CrisisTextline.

If they won't reach out, you can text in for coaching on how best to help
them

Message-ID: <CAC7wEY08jHcGtTDdTHKEB1ZysCSAAf6GCfwkJwotiuStA972eQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone!

I recently released a Python library which lets users extract data tables
out of PDF files, my first open source library! Here's the link:
https://github.com/socialcopsdev/camelot

I've created a wiki page
<https://github.com/socialcopsdev/camelot/wiki/Comparison-with-other-PDF-Table-Extraction-libraries-and-tools>
comparing it to other open source PDF table extraction tools. I'm currently
working on porting it to Python3!

I would be really grateful if you could check it out and see if its useful
to you and give me any feedback that may help me improve it, by replying
here, opening an issue or a pull request!

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Thanks for your time!

I've created a Jupyter notebook which shows an example of how Camelot makes
it easy to extract tables out of PDFs.


In the example, I scrape a PDF from an Indian disease outbreaks data
source[1] using requests, extract tables from
each page of the PDF using Camelot and then concat those tables.
Here's the gist!https://gist.github.com/vinayak-mehta/e5949f7c2410a0e12f25d3682dc9e873

What notable difference in API and/or accuracy do you have?

Hello David!

Yes, I've created a wiki page comparing Camelot with other open source
tools and libraries. tabula-py is a wrapper over tabula-java, which is used
by Tabula. You can check out the comparison of Camelot with Tabula here
<https://github.com/socialcopsdev/camelot/wiki/Comparison-with-other-PDF-Table-Extraction-libraries-and-tools#tabula>.
As you can see in the comparison, it outperforms Tabula in almost all cases!

While Tabula either gives either good output or fails miserably, Camelot
gives you complete control over the extraction process with various
configuration parameters! You can check out this section of the README
<https://github.com/socialcopsdev/camelot#why-camelot> for more
information. Camelot also lets you plot various geometries like detected
lines, intersections, tables in the PDF to debug and improve table
extraction! You can check out this part of the documentation
<https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced.html#plot-geometry>
for more information on that.

Try it out!

The library's API is pretty simple and intuitive too! You can check it out
in the README :)

Very interesting, and congrats, Vinayak.

As a person interested in both PDF generation [1] and PDF text
extraction [2], I'm interested to know what issues you faced w.r.t.
accuracy of text extraction and also formatting.

[1] I'm the creator of xtopdf, a Python toolkit for PDF generation
from other file formats;

http://slides.com/vasudevram/xtopdf

http://bitbucket.org/vasudevram/xtopdf

[2] I worked on a project to extract text from PDF files. It was done
using a C library (xpdf), though, not a Python one. However, the text
extraction accuracy issues (some of which are technical issues
inherent in the PDF format, according to the vendor of xpdf, Glyph and
Cog) are language-independent. There were things like characters
getting transposed, missing characters, junk characters sometimes,
etc. (I also wrote a heuristics program to detect some such issues,
but that too could only reject the bad extracts, not make them
correct.)

So the extraction was not 100% accurate, at least in my project. Also,
like I said, that vendor said the issues are inherent in PDF, partly
related to it being a canvas-based model, not a text-based one.

I'll try to check out your project some time later.

Cheers,
Vasudev

Hi, Vinayak! Good work, thanks for sharing. :)

I'm the creator of the rows library[http://turicas.info/rows] and
implemented PDF support early this year (with 3 different strategies)
-- it's not released on PyPI yet since I'm fixing some bugs before
releasing the next version, but you can try it out by installing:

    pip install
git+https://github.com/turicas/rows.git at feature/plugin-pdf#egg=rows
pdfminer.six cached-property

It's 100% written in Python and also has a command-line interface (so
you can run `rows convert http://example.com/file.pdf
newfile.(csv|xls|xlsx|html|sqlite)` or even `rows query "SELECT * FROM
table1 WHERE some_condition" http://example.com/file.pdf
--output=result.xls`).

The idea behind the extraction algorithms is to be flexible, so you
can plug your own if you want (depending on how the PDF is created,
the objects will be very different and you cannot use the same
ordering/grouping strategy).

I'm now implementing support to extract tables from images (and also
from PDFs with images), but it's probably not going to the next
version since I need a better OCR tool. What do you think in joining
efforts so we can have better libraries? I'm going to test the PDFs
you've cited with my code so we can compare better. Feel free to
contact me directly or join the chat at https://gitter.im/turicas/rows

Cheers,
