Subject: [Chennaipy] MoM of the the Dec 24 Chennai Py meetup
Message-ID: <CAC4Tycy4tN8kEEjDpwxRJoqS13RtvakSpsvUWYuFCQZZuS0VCQ@mail.gmail.com>

Dear All,

Taking this opportunity to wish all of you a happy new year. :)

Please find below the MoM of the Chennai Py meetup held on Dec 24:


The Minutes of the meeting of the ChennaiPy Dec 24 meetup:

The 20 minute talks were:
-----------------------------

*Data Structures in Python by Ashok:*

This talk started by setting the context for which we needed to have an
understanding of
algorithms and data structures. The search time taken by the google engine
was
analysed and then the reasons were looked into.

Post that some of the commonly used data structues in Python were mentioned
and the talk was wrppped up with a demo comparing the effectiveness of 2
searching algos.


*Obscure Python Implementations by Subil:*

In this talk Subil gave us some details regarding features and the details
of Cython, Jython, PyPy, Nuitka, Stackles Python and Brython.

Lightning Talks
------------------

*3d rendering of data for information dissemination, *
*particuarly during times like Wardah by Ashwin*

This talk was about how to render data available on websites like IMD
in a 3d format to the common man. This aim of this work by Ashwin,
is to create awareness to the common man using forums like Twitter,
about imminent catastrophies like cyclone so that the common man is
well-informed and can take suitable action to protect himself.


*An upcoming technology - Compressive Sensing by Ashok*

Instead of acquiring large amounts of data and throwing a good portion of
the same as useless information,
this talk explored the option of directly acquiring useful information.

The Rice University in US is specialising on the same amd there is a
startup company called
"Inview" which is also investing on this technology.

*Invitation by Free Software Foundation Tamil Nadu (https://fsftn.org/
<https://fsftn.org/>)  to be held from January 26-29, 2017 at B.S. Abdur
Rahman University, Chennai.*

4CCon is the second national conference of Free Software Movement of India (
http://fsmi.in/), the umbrella organisation of territorial and sectoral
organisations dedicated to the cause of software freedom across the
country. FSFTN, which is a part of FSMI, is the host for 4CCon.

Thanks to IMSC and Group Photo
------------------------------

The session ended with a big thanks  to IMSC for providing us with the
infrastructure to conduct the Python meetup and
also the group assembled for a group photo.


Rgds,
Ashok

Hi Vijay

Pyshark is a wrapper around tshark comand line utility to capture a live
Network packet or from a

Message-ID: <CAC2qNN6vqFMejzzpvctEsmtzEc5Ajdkzv4UiG+NVr43JqjD_UA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

I was thinking if we could get some swag for ChennaiPy members in form
stickers. We already had done some logo competition for ChennaiPy, we can
take some inspiration from those entries or design new.

If all agree we need to decide whether to crowd source(I think will be
good) or get some sponsors. Also from where to get them printed.

What you all say? Suggestions welcomed.

Thanks
Cheers

Totally on board!

We already had done some logo competition for ChennaiPy, we can take some
inspiration from those entries or design new.


Let's stick to the logo that we currently have. Although it's hardly used
:( we need to make its use more widespread.

If all agree we need to decide whether to crowd source(I think will be
good) or get some sponsors. Also from where to get them printed.


We could get multiple sponsors, that way we can print more?

Also I highly recommend inkmonk[0] for printing. Never been disappointed.

I have one more suggestion. The "Py" in most popular entry logo can
replaced to Vijay's logo, which related to Tamil art.

Just a suggestion.

Not sure how the two would fit. If need be, we can tweak the winning 
entry, a little bit. But changing the appearance of the logo, will only 
lead to more problems.

Some suggestions for the places it can appear:
The Meetup page,
The website,
The github account,
The slides of whoever is hosting the meetup (be it Vijay, Shrayas or
whoever is hosting in their absence) if they want to do so (don't want to
force it down their throats).

Anywhere else?

+1

To be honest, I think that the website needs a *major* overhaul in
itself. It feels like a lot of information is being lost on our
website. We need to highlight the things we're doing and what we want
to do.

I remember @Vijay doing some initial work on this [0]. It would be
awesome if someone would spearhead this from the community :)

Your talk has been added.

You seem to have replied to a digest email. This loses context and
threading if the subject line isn't put in properly. I request you to
change to receiving emails instead of digests so that it becomes
easier to engage in the community.

Also do give these set of mailing list guidelines[0] a read.

?Hi Vijay,

I would like to do a talk on "Data Fusion"

Data Fusion is a statistical method by which we
combine two data sources to create a more rich
dataset that that provides much more information
than the individual datasets.

We will go through details on what would constitute
a good Fusion methodology.

Thanks,
Sangeeth?

Bargava is a personal friend of mine

Message-ID: <CAEkH89PtHdekJECmVNKYtnSW352u_u1t-4yyN=QqxxHgRJhmNw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

Back in May of 2016 (wow, long ago) I proposed a talk:

Title:
>   Gradual Typing - Introduction, purpose and a small look at `mypy`
> Description:
>   Python is dynamically typed.
>     -  Dynamic typing is awesome.
>     -  Dynamic typing is also a pain.
>   C# is statically typed.
>     -  Static typing is awesome.
>     -  Static typing is also a pain.
> Is there no middle ground? Lets explore the realm of Gradual typing to
> know more.


?I never ended up doing this talk and I want to fix that.

I was thinking of splitting into 2 talks in subsequent meetups in order to
better establish some context.

My plan is like so:

    ## Talk 1 (General intro on types)

      - What are types?
      - Why types?
      - Dynamic v Static typing
      - Gradual typing
        - Examples
      - Advantages

    ## Talk 2 (Mypy)

      - mypy
        - Basics
        - Typeshead
          - Standard library
          - 3rd party Libs
        - Inference & Annotations
        - Lessons in converting a library with mypy


I wanted to put this plan forth to the community to get y'alls input and
make content accordingly.

I welcome your feedback :)

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Shrayas

# Jan 2017 Meeting Minutes

### PyShark in Network Packet Analysis by Rengaraj
Rengaraj's talk covered a way to analyse network requests in Python. He
also explained about tools that PyShark is built on.
- Wireshark -> GUI tool for network analysis.
- TShark -> A command line tool for network analysis. It uses dumpcap to
analyse TCP dump. It is used for:-
- Layer by layer scrutiny.
- Integration testing.
- PyShark is a wrapper around TShark.
- Explained the ping protocol in depth so that the audience could
understand the example he would present later.
- PyShark example
- He bought an example file from a ping request he had made at home.
- Analysed it using PyShark.
- Showed a few examples like display-filters etc


### Web Testing Framework in Python by Abhirath Mahipal
Abhirath went over the following:-
- Explained the need of a testing framework that uses Lisp to write test
cases when he interned at LogicSoft.
- A small demo of the application -> The frontend GUI and report generation.
- JSON vs YAML vs Lisp to write test cases. Advantages and disadvantages of
each.
- Lists vs Dictionaires and their implications on writing test cases.
- Using hylang to write Lisp that is understood by the Python interpreter.
- Some links that he shared.
- [Peter Norvig's Lisp Parser in Python](http://norvig.com/lispy.html)
- [Learn Lisp by building small applications. Free ebook](
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/)

### Networking Tea Break

### Write Better Code by Anna Philips
Anna's talk covered topics like PEP8, PEP20 and PEP257 that stress on
writing more Pythonic code. She also compared Pythonic solutions to other
languages like C++ and Java. It covered examples and explanations for the
following:-
- Key takeaways
- PEP8 compliant code. It has a few rules to follow.
- PEP20. Also called Zen of Python. Properties of code. Subjective and no
definite steps.
- PEP257. Docstring conventions.
- Idiamatic Python is normally faster
- in and not in operators
- unpacking sequences, swapping variables
- Some functions and constructs to create elegant looping constructs
- enumerate (iterate easily with index and value)
- reverse
- sorted
- looping over keys and values using dict.item
- Better ways to get and set values in a dictionary
- dict.get()
- dict.setdefault()
- List comprehensions
- "".join vs string concatenation
- Some constructs and data structures for efficiency
- Lazy loading with generators
- deques and pop vs list and deletes

### Lightning Talk by Gaurav Sehrawat
Gaurav mentioned a few resources to stay updated and find Python libraries
in the domain you are working on. He also mentioned a few podcasts that are
worth listening to. Some links that he shared:-
- awesome-python.com
- talkpython.fm
- changelog.com

### Lightning Talk by Vijay Kumar and Shrayas Rajagopal
Vijay went over problems that newbies might have while representing stuff
in Python.

For example a student can be represented by a list, a dict and also as an
object. He mentioned that thinking in terms of another language (like Java
but not limited to Java) might help solve the issue. Also pointed out that
if they need to have methods for that particular data it's better to use a
class.

Shrayas gave insights that might help a programmer while choosing between a
function and class to solve a problem.

- Gave a small example of a counter. Since the counter has a state it is
better to use a class and encapsulate the count variable within the class
rather than creating a function and using a global variable to maintain the
count. Also there exists a possibility of more than one counters and hence
global variables might prove to be a bad decision.
- It is better to use functions when output will remain the same for a
given input. He quoted the example of the square function. No matter when
you supply the input, the output will remain the same regardless.

Vijay and Shrayas also stressed on the fact that functions and classes are
better than global variables.
