Iowa Python User's Group Meeting (November 3rd)

[Mike Driscoll]

Hi,

The next Iowa Python Users Group (AKA Pyowa) is nearly upon us. We will 
be meeting November 3rd, from 7-9 p.m. at the following location:

Marshall County Sheriff's Office
2369 Jessup Ave
Marshalltown, IA 50158

At this meeting, we will be having a Crash Course of sorts for all the 
new programmers in our group. As anyone who has ever taken a programming 
course know, it is impossible to teach everything in two hours, so we'll 
be focusing on tools that will allow our group to help themselves. In 
other words, we'll be focusing on source code analysis techniques like 
introspection and how to use IDLE effectively. There will also be a 
presentation on basic GUI design and also Django.

We will have 8 laptops there to use for any new people, pre-loaded with 
Python 2.5.2 and any additional packages we need for our presentations. 
You are welcome to bring your own laptop if you want. Be sure to have 
2.5 on yours as well as wxPython and the PyWin32 package (if you use 
Windows). We will have them on USB flash drives should you forget.

Free pop and bottled water will be provided.  Questions and comments can 
be directed to mike [at] pythonlibrary [dot] org. Updates can be found
