I have not talked for years although I ramble often. Nonetheless, I can cover: * Registering Models in the Admin * Customizing the filtering, search, general display * Adding Actions * Inlines * Custom Forms * Making Fields Readonly by inheriting * Integrating jQuery * Custom Widgets like Image thumbnails * Changing look and feel I plan on showing a live example and customizing as we go. This will be a pretty mid-level talk and should be interesting to those not familiar, those who know django and considered using the admin, and for djangonuts who want to do some pretty advanced stuff. Is there and interest level. If I do present, I would prefer if someone else announces because it seems a little odd if I were to announce myself.

Topics ------ 1. 7:00 How to contribute to Python (Brian Curtin) 2. 7:45 Pizza (Imaginary Landscape) 3. 8:00 Building the Python Interpreter and Going for Speed (William Scullin) 4. 8:45 Book Giveaway (O'Reilly) Details ------- 1. How to contribute to Python Brian Curtin http://jessenoller.com/2010/04/22/why-arent-you-contributing-to-python/ covers an interesting topic (to me), and I think it would be cool to show an example of how to contribute a fix to Python. My idea is to go from start-to-finish finding a bug in Python, checking out the source, fixing the bug, making a patch, signing up on the tracker, then submitting the patch. A documentation fix would probably be easiest/quickest, but I could look around the bug tracker and keep a really small standard library bug in my back pocket so we can fix some actual code. 2. Pizza Imaginary Landscape Local Python shop wants to make sure we don't pass out from starvation. Return the favor by visiting http://chicagopython.com 3. Building the Python Interpreter and Going for Speed William Scullin A summary of lessons learned by building CPython with non-gnu compilers on x86 and non-x86 platforms. We've got some fun, and actually sort of depressing data learned from trying to scale out a python science code to 32,768 cores. None of it is a surprise, but it's got some interesting implications for large distributed applications of all stripes that if I'm lucky, someone will stand up and point out the obvious solutions. 4. Book Giveaway O'Reilly Take notes and be ready to answer questions - correct answer gets you a book. Location -------- Illinois Technology Association (ITA) 200 S. Wacker Drive 15th Floor Chicago, IL 60606 312.435.2805 http://www.illinoistech.org Metra: exit on Adams St, walk East across the bridge, first door on the right. Show your ID to security. Be on the list or they will be sad. http://chipy.org/FrontPage#sign-up About the group --------------- ChiPy is made up of people of all levels of programming and Python knowledge. At every meeting we have had both beginning programmers, people who are just starting to use Python, as well as experienced Python programmers. Don't be intimidated about coming to a meeting. Note that ChiPy is not a formal organization. We collect no dues, elect no officers, and keep no roster. Signing up for the mailing list carries no obligation. Nor does showing up at the meetings. Nor, at least so far, does anything else we have done, although we always appreciate it when our presenters show up. (They usually do!) http://chipy.org From brianhray at gmail.com Tue May 11 00:30:32 2010 From: brianhray at gmail.com (Brian Ray) Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 17:30:32 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] ChiPy at ITA Thu May 13, 7p In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Carl suggest off the list that I should give my talk to a Django specific user group instead of Chipy only after sending this announcement. I kinda thought people might be interested in customizing the admin. Several said they would like that talk. What gives Carl? It is more python than it sounds like because it does use a lot of inheritance and callback handlers. I am not really interested in starting/joining a Django specific club. I just wanted to show what I have been working on really.

I might have voted for it. Ya know, I didn't really vote, cuz I used my votes to count Pete's votes, who still owes me a reason. -- Carl K From tonkinjs at yahoo.com Tue May 11 11:43:37 2010 From: tonkinjs at yahoo.com (Jonathan Tonkin) Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 02:43:37 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Chicago] Several items that may be of interest to group members Message-ID: <392547.82919.qm@web111304.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Hello, While this may not be directly related to group topics, here are several items that may be of interest to group members. 1.)

Come speak and/or attend! Message-ID: Howdy Chicago Python folk, Pardon the e-mail if'n it sounds like spam. It's not! I'm helping to host a small hacker related conference in about two weeks and one of your members helped us find a location. As such, we wanted to make sure to send your group an invitation, should you folks feel like giving presentations or sitting around with neighborly folk. So here's the proper block of invitational text: Howdy, Neighbors! You're invited to join your fellow neighbors for Neighborcon Chicago on Saturday June 12th and Sunday June 13th from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm (with continued non-official festivities afterwards). What is Neighborcon? Neighborcon is a collection of friendly folk coming together to discuss friendly ideas. Presentations and talks will be given on various subjects (as long as they're neighborly), conversations will be had, food will be eaten, and drinks will be drunk (in traditional hacker fashion, to excess!). Where is Neighborcon? Glad you asked! Neighborcon Chicago will be held at Sully's House Tavern & Grill. They've been kind enough to offer us their private upstairs bar to hold our events in. Good food, good drinks, good people! Sully's House is located at 1501 North Dayton St. Chicago, IL 60642, a three minute walk from the North/Clybourn Red Line stop. Tip your waitress well! What does Neighborcon cost? We're asking for $20, which will include your badge, a button, and a neighborly handshake from Mr. Goodspeed (to be fair you can usually get that for free). Broke or unemployed? Let us know the situation, and we'll aim to discount or waive your fee! Willing to be a speaker and give a presentation? Then you get in at no cost! How do you submit a talk to Neighborcon? Visit http://frob.us/neighborcon.txt to view the call for papers and e-mail in your proposal to travis at radiantmachines.com. If it's neighborly, we'll likely accept it! The sky's the limit as far as subject matter. Any other questions? Most things can be answered via http://frob.us/neighborcon.txt, but feel free to e-mail travis at radiantmachines.com or eli.skipp at gmail.com with the subject line NEIGHBORCON if you're still vexed. Invite your friends! Hell, invite your enemies if'n they're FYN-FYTN compliant! In accordance with historical Neighborcons, we're doing this semi-disorganized and very last minute. We hope to see you there anyway, and if not, FYN! Also attached: the Call for presentations and a jpeg of our poster.

The Fort Sanders Yacht Club still has our stickers in their collection, and the FYN/FYTN protocol remains well known at the Golden Roast. The yellow stains have faded, but we'll all remember the fun of spilling fuming nitric acid on my hand while decapping metro cards on the Yacht Club's back patio. I recall too the neighborliness that we brought to Las Vegas with BSides and New York on painfully short notice. I look forward to the day when we can make the Philadelphians say not "Fuck you, buddy!" but "Fuck you, neighbor!" Until then, however, I've good mind to visit Chicago, and I'm rounding up a posse of deputized neighbors for this event. If you are a neighbor of mine or a neighbor of my neighbors, then fly, drive, or hitchhike to Chicago for the weekend of June 11, 12. We will be taking over a bar, having some lectures, tossing some Shmooballs, and perhaps even decapping some microchips. Neighborcon is the sort of conference where hackers from the global village meet up for a drink and conversation at a neighborhood bar. There's no swag bag, except those provided by the local moms. As at Neighborcons Knoxville and New York, this will be poorly organized. If you ask for a schedule, you will be uninvited. Preachers will be drafted on the spot to present neighborly lectures, and tickets will be sold for twenty bucks or less at the door. The funemployed are welcome without paying admission. Email me to help with the headcount, putting "NEIGHBORCON" in all caps in the title to help my befuddled inbox. The event itself will run at a secret location from 12h00 to 18h00 on Saturday and Sunday, June 12 and 13, but there will be some sort of pre-party at Pumping Station: One or RobotHaus. Follow TravisGoodspeed and Neighborcon on Twitter for a last-minute announcement of the venue. Here's how things will work: 0. You should come to Chicago, June 11 to 14. 1. Please invite as many neighbors as you like. 1. Dance a jig at every opportunity. 2. A prize will be awarded for the best counterfeit badge. Extra credit for mass production! 3. Every attendee is drafted into Nick Farr's posse. 5. Belt buckle! 8. There's no official hotel. Find one yourselves by Twitter. 13. Tip your bartender. 19. Arrange dinner events yourselves. 34. If it's your first Neighborcon, you have to give a lightning talk. 55. The pre-pre-party will be held in Washington, DC the evening of June 3. 76. This is not a Fibonacci sequence.

The target system is a Linux system where I have unprivileged shell access and setuptools is installed. After playing around with easy_install and setting my PYTHONPATH, I have MySQLdb working, or at least importing. Before I go further, I wanted to ask opinions on preferred ways of dealing with MySQL from Python. Is there any one package which is strongly preferred, and in particular is MySQLdb a choice to warn about, or a sane choice with sensible adherents? -- ?
