From brianhray at gmail.com Mon Aug 1 23:08:09 2011 From: brianhray at gmail.com (Brian Ray) Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2011 16:08:09 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] Venue for August ChiPy Message-ID: I'm looking for a venue/host for our next loop meeting on Thurs. August 11th. Any offers? We have had between 75-120 consistently for the last four months. We have attracted some interesting presentations. Generally, those who attend the meetings walk way saying they learned something and had a good time. Hosting is a great way to give back as well as help make your organization known as a friend of Python. Good for HR, PR, and can be a great time. Please post to the list if your interested in hosting ChiPy! This may be the best meeting ever. Let's make it that folks! Cheers!

I mentioned it at work and someone showed me some code he wrote to fix that problem. So if someone talks about urllib2, that is my complaint and I'd like to see their take on it. And then someone will need to email the list about it, since there is a reading group that is competing with chipy this Thursday unless they've canceled. Or maybe I will show up very late and bug the urllib2 presenter at that point. -- sheila From bherma3 at uic.edu Tue Aug 9 17:42:10 2011 From: bherma3 at uic.edu (Brian Herman) Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2011 10:42:10 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] GIL Detector Message-ID: http://uberpython.wordpress.com/2011/08/09/the-gil-detector/ -- Thanks, Brian Herman brianjherman.com Research Assistant University Of Illinois at Chicago brianherman at acm.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our call for proposals (http://us.pycon.org/2012/cfp/) just went out and we want to include you in our 2012 conference schedule, taking place March 7-15, 2012 in Santa Clara, CA. The call covers tutorial, talk, and poster applications, and we?re expecting to blow the previous record of 250 applications out of the water. Put together your best 3-hour class proposals for one of the tutorial sessions on March 7 and 8. Submit your best talks on any range of topics for the conference days, March 9 through 11. The poster session will be in full swing on Sunday with a series of 4'x4' posters and an open floor for attendees to interact with presenters. Get your applications in early - we want to help you put together the best proposal possible, so we?re going to work with submitters as applications come in. See more details and submit your talks here: http://us.pycon.org/2012/speaker/ We?re also looking for feedback from your past PyCon experiences along with what you?re looking for in the future, by way of our 2012 Guidance Survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/pycon2012_launch_survey. The attendees make the conference, so every response we get from you makes a difference in putting together the best conference we can. If you or your company is interested in sponsoring PyCon, we?d love to hear from you. Join our growing list with Diamond sponsors Google and Dropbox, and Platinum sponsors Microsoft, Nasuni, SurveyMonkey, and Gondor by Eldarion. CCP Games, Linode, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Canonical, DotCloud, Loggly, Revolution Systems, ZeOmega, bitly, ActiveState, JetBrains, Snoball, Caktus Consulting Group, and Disqus make up our Gold sponsors.

Thanks to properties, descriptors, and (if all else fails) __getattr__() and __getattribute__(), the attempt to access obj.something can result in arbitrary code execution. If you are wondering how your Python program is using memory, this can result in a problem: each time you look to see if something is there, it is, because it is pulled in dynamically the moment you look for it. In this talk, you will learn how to prod Python objects gently, and hopefully learn their secrets - and their memory usage - without actually invoking code.

I never saw the orignal request, so I don't know what the OP's defined setup was, but if you have a module M which defines class C and another module N when defines class D, a subclass of C, the code is going to have to poke around in multiple files looking for D->C references. The inspect module might well come in handy as well.

Details at: http://www.dabeaz.com/chicago/index.html This is an experimental three day class that should be a lot of fun for any Chicago resident that attends. Basically, it's a mashup of my normal Python class with a set of hands-on exercises that do all sorts of things with data available on the City of Chicago Data Portal (http://data.cityofchicago.org). So, you'll learn a bunch of Python along with important day-to-day information such as places you can park your fixie that are relatively free of big rats. I think it will be cool--plus it's super cheap ;-).

For example you could do something like at the start of each JSON string, encode the number of bytes it'll take. Then a deserializer could just allocate a string of the right length and memcpy, right now they have to scan the string looking for the end (taking into account escapes, funny unicode business, and whatever else) and then do a second pass to actually copy the data. ints and floats can be much more efficiently encoded, reading them becomes a simple reinterpretation of memory, rather than an actual parse. And I'm sure there are other ways. Of course this all assumes it's a sensibly designed binary format, with a decent deserializer. Mileage may very, this doesn't constitute legal, medical, or retirement planning advice.

Message-ID: My dear ChiPynauts, I'm looking for some devs who can provide me with a quote to work on the open source apps that power http://chirpradio.org/ . We don't have much in the way of funds but in addition to compensation we can provide tax breaks and we can offer free tickets to concerts :) Python devs: We're looking for someone to write a web app that the music director can use to import new music into our digital library weekly. We already have a strong foundation laid where mp3s are scrubbed and cataloged. It just needs an easy to use web front end. The code is a modern Python project using hotness like virtualenv/pip and has a pretty good test suite and documentation. It was mostly written by Googler and digital library expert Jon Trowbridge. If someone reading this also happens to work in Android / Java, we're looking for help getting audio working in 2.2+ devices for our Android app https://github.com/chirpradio/chirpradio-android/ That's step one. After that we may iterate on audio in older devices and other features. The code is based on the open NPR app code and we're looking forward to collaborating with NPR on this. We just aren't very good at Android ourselves :( Here's a little more about CHIRP Radio. We're a 501(c)(3) non profit, we broadcast 21 hours a day and our mission is to play new independent music that doesn't get a fair voice in radio. We also focus on the local Chicago music scene. We are fully run by volunteers; there is no paid staff. No joke!

CHIRP gives away tickets on the air so we have a partnership with a lot of venues in Chicago. As part of this deal we always have an allotment of tickets to give to staff. They aren't always big name bands and usually they are local bands but free is free! I looked on our list for the upcoming week and these are the tickets we have access to. Hollows, Runnies, Radar Eyes, and JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound are some of my favorite groups in Chicago right now.

It's like doing a talk about the various mysql engines, except less useful since Mongo only uses BSON. Just... kind of interesting, but an odd niche for a talk to a python group. But who cares what I think? - Japhy On Aug 27, 2011 12:19 AM, "Tal Liron" wrote: I do! Well, it's more that I appreciate the extended JSON notation as a way to add type information to it when it doesn't include any in the basic spec. For example, sending extended JSON from server to client with information about dates. If you have mechanism in place to unpack it, you're good, even if the data doesn't originally come from MongoDB. I don't use BSON directly, but it would just as useful if you need to transfer JSON between two node, or store a lot of JSON data. BSON would save you bandwidth. -Tal On 08/25/2011 09:47 AM, Japhy Bartlett wrote: > > Does anyone use it for anything other than Mongo? > > > On Aug 25, 2011, at 7:22 AM, Jough Dem... _______________________________________________ > Chicago mailing list > Chicago at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/chicago _______________________________________________ Chicago mailing list Chicago at python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/chicago -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
