What did I miss? Only Scott and I showed up so after 15 minutes we packed it in and headed out for after-meeting festivities. Scott, who arrived a few minutes earlier, said there was another group that thought they had the room booked, so perhaps some others came early and left not knowing where we were - anyone? I suggest we move October's topic, Python IDE's, to November's meeting. I learned quite a bit more about IPython in the past 2 weeks and it is even more useful than I had realized earlier - you won't want to miss my presentation. Who else is planning to present? Stuart.

We've had the room booked since the beginning of Sept. I know I've sometimes used the room without reserving it if it appears to be free, but only on an informal basis. I'll be attending the meeting and giving a presentation on Stani's Python Editor. I saw some very neat tricks with IPython at the Plone conference. Extremely useful as an interpreter shell.

I was there at 7:00. Even security said there was no meeting. Shows how dependent I am on the mailing list. When my regular account was sent to Limbo I got the time wrong. > I suggest we move October's topic, Python IDE's, to November's > meeting. > Can do. > I learned quite a bit more about IPython in the past 2 weeks and it is > even more useful than I had realized earlier - you won't want to miss > my presentation. > Absolutely! Same with Idle. Any chance someone with a laptop could install it so I can demo it? I'd rather not drag my mini-tower and CRT monitor around. It is the production machine after all. ;-) > Who else is planning to present? > Like I said, I'll do Idle. > Stuart. > > Later Mike From m.hohner at uwinnipeg.ca Wed Nov 1 11:42:29 2006 From: m.hohner at uwinnipeg.ca (Michael Hohner) Date: Wed, 01 Nov 2006 10:42:29 -0600 Subject: [Python Wpg] Had to change my e-mail account Message-ID: They did some weird split with room 2M70.

I'll do Idle. If someone wants to install it on a laptop I can demo it. Otherwise I can just work from notes. Without the demo it'll be no more than five minutes with the demo it could be as much as 15 minutes. Later Mike
