Pray tell... I'm (trying to) teach myself to extend Python into the web environment. (yes I know, it's at least five years since Tim Golden spoke to us about BeautifulSoup and I listed 'Python-web' as a to-learn topic - even if that was client-side. Sorry, some of us are 'slow learners'!). Hence stepping out of my usual (PM) r?le, have drafted a basic 'brochure-ware' web site, with Python handling a simple form or two but mostly managing page headers, menus, etc, templates. Running on my own/local Apache dev.svr I had no problems - but the back-slapping was premature... Attempting to migrate to the client's existing Plesk-based host has been problematic (fortunately only prototype pages - I'm 'careful' if 'slow'). A simple Python program can be called within the URL and will emit HTML. Persuading a handler to communicate an interface object, eg form values, seems to be the missing link... I can't figure-out a combination of svr.setting directives and .htaccess commands to enable mod_python, CGI, FastCGI, or WSGI (the latter evidently not even present) to work, despite the 'advertising'. The web host apparently lacks Python expertise (I've even given them the vhost.confs which work on my server). The Parallels forums rarely even mention Python. My web-searching has revealed only the reassurance that I did things correctly locally - but don't seem to offer any (current) config information for Plesk domains (cf establishing the entire Plesk system as an ISP). For other reasons, the client does not want to move all of her/their Internet presence just to suit my Python plans/dreams/fantasies... (but I'd like to be stubborn about not renewing my PHP skills) -- Regards, =dn PS Michael Foord: I landed on your web site - a second-part article about CGI (IIRC) but the link to the first-part/configuration article no longer works.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <53272517.7040400@acm.org> Hi Rachid, [ I wasn't aware of Tim's event calendar, so there you go ]. Basically, there are enough events on in London that, although it is a shame, there is - realistically - going to be a clash. Apart from announcing to Python-UK, which you already do, just assume there *will* be a clash. There are plenty of Python people around, and the more events, the better, not all are geared towards the same audience.

This year's DjangoCon Europe is taking place in mid-May, on its very own island off the coast of the French riviera. If you're planning to come and don't yet have your ticket, you should act swiftly, because ticket sales must close on the 20th April. If you haven't yet decided whether to attend, here are some reasons why you (or your partner/boss/employer) should consider it: A DjangoCon is a wonderful opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge, not just through the three days of talks, but also through the conversations and meetings you'll have with a great congregation of other Django users. Whatever your level of skill or experience, you're going to leave having learned new skills, discovered new tools and made new friends. That's especially true this year, because as well as the talks , we are running a number of substantial tutorials , all aimed at improving your Django skills. The tutorials are all free. If one of the tutorials fills an important hole in your skill-set, you may find that it's worth the conference fee all on its own. If you or your company are looking for new collaborators or new people for your team, you'll meet Django developers from all over the world here. Similarly, if you're looking for new opportunities, this is where emplyers come to offer them. This year the conference fee - 670 Euros - covers *everything*: the conference itself, all your meals for three days, your accommodation for two nights - even the ferry to get to the island. You can also purchase tickets separately for extra nights, if that helps with your travel plans, and to stay on for the sprints. You can even bring a companion with you, because an island with vineyards, a nature reserve and beautiful beaches is too special not to share. There's information on the site about how to get to the island , but just ask - here, or via our website if you need to know any more. If you're travelling from the UK, an ideal way to do it is to get the Eurostar to Paris on the Monday morning, a superfast TGV to Toulon, and then a bus to the port to be there for early evening. On the way back, the night train from Toulon to Paris, and the Eurostar to London early the next morning. Hope to see you there!

We normally stop about 9.30pm, and go on to the pub. This will be a doing stuff meeting. Meetings after that will be: ? Tuesday 6th May, a talks meeting ? Tuesday 3rd June, a doing stuff meeting ? Tuesday 1st July, another talks meeting Again, any of those might be shifted or replaced if they clash with a meeting of Ben's proposed new OpenTechSchool.

We have been around since about 2005 and are a small team looking to add a few new Python developers. The problems we deal with range from building a cross platform Python application interacting with low-level system libraries to a wide array of systems, network, database and even web development to some degree. To give a flavour of the sort of things we do here a list of the main third party libraries and tools we use in no particular order: cx_Oracle, psycopg2, freetds/python-sybase, sqlite3 pymongo, redis eventlet, dpkt, requests, pysnmp django, pyramid, waitress lxml psi py.test, Hudson svn, hg Likely soon this will also include zeromq and msgpack. This list looks more database-heavy then it really is in day-to-day work. And obviously experience with these is not required as we expect you to be able to pick up new things. The platforms we support are the common Linux variants, Solaris, AIX, OSX and Windows where we build the entire Python toolchain from scratch for each. The roles would include the full range of development activities: designing and implementing new features, maintaining and extending existing products, build required testing infrastructure, documenting new work, etc. Our offices are based in Bedfordshire and currently everyone works from the office most of the time. However we might be open to remote working, here we envisage all employees visiting the office the first week of our 3-month development cycle. The first few months we'd likely expect more time in the office as well. If you are interested please do not hesitate to contact me at floris at abilisoft.com (or a simple reply will make it as well).
