An issue would be something else you do. The github team, when coding github, will usually do a very barebones code up, start a pull request, and use the pull request to discuss the issue and make changes. That said, I looked at the code and they are using app engine. https://github.com/rmyers/gae_django/blob/master/auth/backend.py So the twitter backend is built in.

Message-ID: I've been lurking on here for a while though I haven't posted much. I was debating converting a current static content website to something a bit more modern that uses an MVC framework. I have limited experience in pretty much all of these frameworks, so any of them will work since I'll need to learn it from the ground up. So far I looked at rails and I like the workflow for rails + git + heroku. I was wondering if anyone knew of any freebie django hosting websites?

Its a microframework that lets you get stuff done. The docs are easy to read. You write functions or methods to handle routes. Routing can be done through regexes if you want. There is a template system that you can replace if you really want to. I like this better because I worked with a scheme microframework called leftparen and it reminds me of that.

Do you think that this kind of survey would be useful for people? My impression going to chipy meetings is that most people are web developers who might not be terribly familiar with some of these concepts. If you feel differently, that everyone is pretty pro at these things, then I can try to skim over the basics more and focus on other things. What do you think? As for a description of the talk: """Ben recently discovered event driven concurrency. He will be talking about some of the basics as well as trying to compare it with other concurrency options. The focus will be on its application in a few recent projects as well as a comparison of Python's gevent and node.js.

ChiPy's August's meeting will be combined with ALT.NET's and I wanted to hear from ChiPy what would be a good plan for this meeting. What ideas you have? Things that worked well in previous opportunities? Anything in particular from ALT.NET that you'd be curious to hear about? To help clarify a little bit what the ALT.NET group is, in general terms, we are not the "official" .NET group that has deeper ties with Microsoft. We tend to focus on .NET code that is OpenSource or at least produced outside of Microsoft. We also often talk about non-.net languages and non-Windows tools. We are looking forward to this meeting and wanted to make it interesting for everyone.

We always get a good representation of Chicago folks at the conference, from last year in CA to the previous two years in Atlanta, and I'm hoping we can up the Chicago representation even more by engaging some sponsors from the area. Sponsors are what keep this great conference running, and we're expecting another huge year to follow up the great success that was PyCon 2012. The sponsorship packages available have some really great options for organizations that want to help, and we've recently added a bunch more features, including tables at the Job Fair. What better place to find great Python talent than at a 2500 person conference in Silicon Valley? We've put together a great sponsorship prospectus at https://us.pycon.org/2013/sponsors/prospectus/ and would appreciate you taking a look. Send it to anyone else in your company who may want to take a look! Gold and Silver sponsorship packages are 50% off for organizations with under 25 employees. Hear that, startups and consultancies? We know there are a bunch of you around here, and considering a Silver level sponsorship would become $2000, that covers two tickets and gets you advertising, exhibiting, and job fair entrance at a great discount. All sponsor packages include tickets, so if you're in charge and thinking of sending a few delegates, our Gold sponsorship includes 5 passes (a $3000 value) on top of all of the typical advertising, exhibiting, and job fair stuff. Another thing to keep in mind is that the sponsorship team is willing to work with each and every organization to craft a package they like. If you don't plan to use booth space in the exhibit hall, you can trade that for an extra ticket or a larger advertisement spot. Sponsoring PyCon is a great thing for everyone involved. It helps keep PyCon running and allows it to remain as one of the cheapest conferences around. It's also a great marketing, recruiting, and networking tool for your organization. If you or your organization are interested in sponsoring PyCon 2013, contact Jesse Noller at pycon-sponsors at python.org or let me know and I can pass you on. If you have any leads for organizations who may want to sponsor, please let Jesse or I know! Thanks for your time. I won't be able to make tomorrow's ChiPy meeting but I should be able to make meetings again soon. Summer gets a bit busy for me so I end up missing out. I umpire college baseball in the spring and summer, so I'm driving all over the place to work games and a bunch of them end up conflicting with ChiPy dates.

If you check the wiki you can see the plans I am using from the Boston group. They have been vetted extensively with beginners and shown to work. I think it would be fun to have some exercises based on using the cta api, or the chicago data portal. I also think it would be fun to control a robot. If I make up an exercise, I would like help from the group to make it beginner friendly. The workshop is soon, so I don't know if we'd have anything in time for it, but maybe we'd have something useful for a future one. thanks Ps. encourage beginner friends to sign up. I want people who have never programmed but are curious about it to sign up. I think this is a really cool way to introduce people to programming. -- sheila From christos.jonathan.hayward at gmail.com Fri Jul 13 20:19:16 2012 From: christos.jonathan.hayward at gmail.com (Jonathan Hayward) Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2012 13:19:16 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] Help deploying Satchmo with WSGI In-Reply-To: References: <20120703233117.GA12047@furrr.two14.net> Message-ID: What I presently have in my httpd.conf is: WSGIDaemonProcess django.jonathanscorner.compython-path=/home/jonathan/jonathantest:/home/jonathan/hayward-virtual/lib/python2.7/site-packages ServerName django.jonathanscorner.com ServerAdmin jonathan.hayward at pobox.com Alias /robots.txt /home/jonathan/jonathantest/static/robots.txt Alias /favicon.ico /home/jonathan/jonathantest/static/favicon.ico AliasMatch ^/([^/]*\.css) /home/jonathan/jonathantest/static/styles/$1 Alias /media/ /home/jonathan/jonathantest/media/ Alias /static/ /home/jonathan/jonathantest/static/ Order deny,allow Allow from all Order deny,allow Allow from all WSGIScriptAlias / /home/jonathan/jonathantest/wsgi.py Order allow,deny Allow from all My wsgi.py is copied from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py The result is http://django.jonathanscorner.com , an Apache 404 page.

Irony warning, the audio is pretty bad. The level of the signal coming out of the laptop was way higher than the mic. There wasn't a mixer that I could use to adjust it. So I was having to flip my one control up and down trying to keep the laptop audio from clipping and the voice from being too soft. Plus all the time that Adrian talked while his laptop was playing, he is pretty much drowned out. which was very often. At some point I realized it could be fixed by having Adrian turn down the volume on his laptop, but I think that was near the end and I had pretty much given up. Chris had mic problems and when I said "wait" someone else said "just shout" and he did, so audio is crap there too. Josh faked me out by starting his talk from the middle table so he could use a beer bottle as a prop. remember running back from the front of the room, I think Cezar started things, I have no idea. I guess I need to be more assertive about doing sound checks and such. It will a bit disruptive, but will cut down on stuff like this happening, so probably a net win.

More details here: www.meetup.com/chicagodev. Hope some of you can make it. Also, the Chicago Flex user group is meeting up to talk about cross compiling apps from .Net to javascript. Not sure how many people in ChiPy might care about that, but since we're having a .Net/Python meetup in August, this was supposed to be my segue into inviting y'all to that (www.chicagoflex.org).

Thanks for the url and advice. One of my coworkers who is helping has worked on Flourish in the past at UIC, and she has helped get the word out to friends at UIC and other colleges. I've seen people signing up on the meetup event who mention being in college, so I think it helped. Once we have the event we can see how well we got the word out to students (and also beginners) by looking at who attended. If we don't have many, we'll know we need to improve on recruitment. I already think I need to do better at finding people new to programming, because we have software developers who've signed up. I had expected more beginners. -- sheila From danieltpeters at gmail.com Mon Jul 23 23:15:15 2012 From: danieltpeters at gmail.com (Daniel Peters) Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 16:15:15 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] python workshops for beginners In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: complete guess, but there's a Linux-oriented computer recycling place literally down the street from my house.

I made a meetup group to be a namespace for containing workshop meetings. Based on the people who've joined, there is some interest in workshops of all levels. I would love to have a good cadence of workshops established. If there is a regular block of time where a workshop happens come help or high water that we will make a lot of people happy learners. I think I'll start a new thread on workshop logistics. Btw, based on comments that people say when they sign up, meetup users aren't all aware of the existence of chipy. After seeing comments from people saying that they'd like to meet other python developers, I changed the group description to try and highlight chipy more. I'd like people to take a look at the group description to offer suggestions on ways I can highlight chipy more so that people definitely know about it. http://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Python-Workshop/?showFullDesc=true On Jul 23, 2012 5:38 PM, "Tim Ottinger" wrote: > I came in late, so this is relevant to the topic, but otherwise pretty > non-sequitor, > but I have an intro to python that I have given a few times.

There?s an opportunity to participate this coming Monday night at TechNexus for the kickoff of a two week long hackathon event for Walgreens. Dozens of developer and entrepreneur teams will compete to build mobile apps that integrate with Walgreens recently released mobile photo APIs (which allow users to print directly from their phones to their neighborhood Walgreens). There?s $5,000 in prize money, but winning teams will also receive mentoring and occupancy within the TechNexus incubator, and ongoing collaboration with Walgreens. The kickoff event is Monday night, July 30th, at 6pm at TechNexus. There will be beer and pizza and an informal chance to network with other developers and entrepreneurs, and maybe connect up with an existing team in the competition. The actual hackathon will take place Saturday, August 11. For more information, go to http://hackatopia.com/Events/Walgreens-Mobile-Photo-Hack-Day If you?re not sure you?re ready to compete, but would like to network on Monday night, you can register just for the kickoff event and come interact by going to http://www.technexus.com/upcoming-events/walgreens-developer-kickoff-july-30-2012/ Thanks for sharing the message? and for being a great TechNexus collaborator.

It's a programming language called Boo. In brief, it's a .NET language with python-inspired syntax supporting the following groovy features: * Static typing with type inference * Optional duck typing * Many meta-programming facilities, including an extensible compiler infrastructure * A nice interactive console, an interpreter, AND a traditional compiler If there's interest, I'm happy to give a 5-15 minute talk (whatever works for the schedule). This is probably more of a .NET topic of tangential interest to python folks rather than the other way around, so maybe I should be pitching this to the ALT.NET folks, but I was encouraged to pitch the idea by a ChiPy member, so I'm starting here. If you'd like to learn more about Boo, check out http://boo.codehaus.org/.

Now accepting proposals Message-ID: It was only a few months ago when we wrapped up the hugely successful PyCon 2012, and we started working on the 2013 conference right away. PyCon 2013 will again be in Santa Clara, California, with tutorials kicking off March 13, the conference March 15, and sprints beginning March 18. Along with our site release at https://us.pycon.org/2013/, we opened our Call for Proposals a month earlier than last year at https://us.pycon.org/2013/speaking/cfp/. We're looking to you, the community, to help us make PyCon 2013 even better. We're accepting proposals through September 28, hoping to break last year's record of 519 talk, tutorial, and poster proposals. We're looking for all types of presentations from all types of people. If you've got a topic to share, we hope you'll submit a proposal. Create an account at https://us.pycon.org/2013/account/signup/, and fill in your speaker profile and submit away! With another record submission period expected, we're also rounding up volunteers for our Program Committee, the team tasked with evaluating the proposals and coming up with the conference schedule. If you're interested in volunteering, join the PyCon Program Committee mailing list and introduce yourself at http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pycon-pc. Without sponsors, PyCon wouldn't be possible. They're what keep the conference prices low and values high, and we share the same deal with our sponsorship packages. Especially after you factor in the price of tickets that all packages include, we think our sponsorship packages are second to none. We even have a 50% discount for small businesses! Check out https://us.pycon.org/2013/sponsors/whysponsor/ for more info. We've also made changes in how we're doing ticketing, specifically for early bird rates. We even cut our student ticket prices in half, starting at $100! We'll announce more details as we get closer, but know that ticket sales will be opening up in the fall. Be sure to plan accordingly because we anticipate another quick sell out! Be sure to follow us at http://pycon.blogspot.com/ and https://twitter.com/pycon!
