Chicago Python Group, Thurs March 10

[Ian Bicking]

The Chicago Python User Group, ChiPy, will have its next meeting
on Thursday, March 10, starting at 7pm.  For more information on ChiPy
see http://chipy.org

Presentations
-------------

This week we will have two presentations.  Robert Ramsdell will talk 
about SimPy.  SimPy (Simulation in Python) is an object-oriented, 
process-based discrete-event simulation language based on standard 
Python. It provides the modeler with components of a simulation model 
including processes, for active components like customers, messages, and 
vehicles, and resources, for passive components that form limited 
capacity congestion points like servers, checkout counters, and tunnels. 
It also provides monitor variables to aid in gathering statistics.

Ian Bicking will be presenting on WSGI, WSGIKit, and Python web 
programming.  WSGI is a new Python standard for interfacing between web 
servers (like Apache or Twisted) and web applications.  WSGIKit is a 
reimplementation of Webware for Python using a series of WSGI 
components.  He will be talking about its design and utilization of WSGI 
to create cross-framework libraries.
