From shekay at pobox.com Mon Apr 1 19:02:12 2013 From: shekay at pobox.com (sheila miguez) Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 12:02:12 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] Python Office Hours this Thursday Message-ID: Hi everyone, It's time again for Python Office Hours this Thursday. This week I am going to pick an interesting algorithm and data structure to talk about for 5 to 15 minutes. If that turns out well, then we can make it a regular feature. Lengthy description about office hours here: http://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Python_Office_Hours meetup RSVP here (helpful, but not required): http://www.meetup.com/ChiPyFans/events/107963922/ For future office hours, I would like to see if people are interested in walking through Cracking the Coding Interview, < http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Coding-Interview-Programming-Questions/dp/098478280X>. We've had questions about coding interviews at meetings. This book was recommended in a mailing list. They suggested working through every other problem ahead of time, with real-time interview practice for the problems people haven't looked at. We could perhaps do the same for office hours. -- sheila -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Because assignment is... well, first, it's not value assignment, it's binding, which is I guess why in Python assignment is defined only as its own special type of statement (language reference, 6.2) rather than as an operator (part of expression syntax).

I have several topics queued up that I'd love to speak about: - Hy: a lisp that transforms itself into the python AST. It's really cool, and I think it may have an extremely interesting future! http://hy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ http://hylang.org/ - Should MediaGoblin be a Django application? ~2 years into being developed as a "django-like" web application that does not use django and in fact uses no framework and just cobbles together a bunch of good libraries, it's time for a reflection: was that the right choice? What historical reasons lead to this decision? Have the reasons stayed the same? What have we learned? What would switching look like, and why should or shouldn't we? - In-project virtualenvs (lightning talk) This talk advocates for an unusual method of setting up a virtualenv that I believe will make things a lot easier for your contributors. - Release your secret sauce This talk is more of a social/philosophical talk about trends in web development. Releasing libraries as FOSS is the hip/cool thing to do, but why aren't we seeing as many full web applications being released in such a manner? I am going to suggest I give talks on #1 and also #3 since it's super short. The other ones I'm still interested in talking about in the near-future, though.

Punch cards still have one attribute that is desirable in some applications, even today. In a controlled environment, they can be stored virtually indefinitely. Optical media is only good for 5 years or so, and magnetic media up to 20 years.

Well, yes, but given the ubiquity of punch card readers, one now needs to retrieve that storage byte-by-byte. BTW, I still remember the EBCDIC encoding sequence for letters and numbers, so I can help you read from punches if the printed letters at the top of the card have faded.

Why so? You mean keyboard shortcuts, or some specific IDE-type feature? I've used both PyDev/Eclipse and PyCharm. Their feature set is very, very similar. Ironically I bought a PyCharm license about a year ago but haven't used it much. Lately I've just been editing stuff in Sublime because of multiple cursors. (Actually my main environment is the IPython notebook.) I'm considering jumping back to an IDE to do a little TDD. Both PyDev and PyCharm have nice features that allow you to create a test, then from inside your unittest code, add methods, properties, etc. to your actual code. This is hard to explain, but you can see it in action here: http://tv.jetbrains.net/videocontent/getting-started-with-pycharm A lot of people don't like the weight of Eclipse. Fabio, the creator of PyDev, is working to build LiClipse, a light weight, sexy (i.e. dark) version of Eclipse. It's currently in crowd-funding status with 16 days remaining and a couple hundred bucks left to go. You can read more about LiClipse here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pydev-and-liclipse-for-a-fast-sexy-and-dark-eclipse Fabio has done a great deal of work maintaining PyDev, and it's a huge asset for the community; especially when beginners can from all the benefits an IDE offers like completion, checks, etc. -- Jason Wirth 213.675.5294 wirth.jason at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Do you wish they weren't paid because they're not worth it, or because you want it for $0 because you're used to $0? For something you're going to use for at least 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, 250 days a year, the cost for just about any IDE ends up being so small for something you use so much. It's especially cheap considering it's something that helps you create value (for any definition of that word) for whoever you're writing code for.

What us your time worth, and what does some tool save you in time? What us that worth on an ongoing basis? I pay my $95 annual maint for wingIDE because I figure it saves me (much) more than an hour of time over the year, i.e. pays for itself nicely (and the responsiveness of their support points to reliable vendor relationship). Whatever your favorite, I suppose you will measure this relative benefit over some ?free? baseline - fair enough.

MOOCs are great, but they lack the community needed to have a successful learning experience. More importantly, learning happens by doing--not by watching videos--whether it's teaching someone else the material, working through problems with a partner, or adapting the problems to be relevant for your projects & internests. One of the downsides about the course is that it uses Octave, not Python. Despite that we could easily code the problems in Octave, then port them to Python & Numpy or use equivalent functions in Scikts.learn.

I'm curious what kind of vendor relationship $95 gets you. That's worth, what? an hour of engineering time? Not including overhead. I've been using emacs my entire career. It does what I need it to do and when it doesn't, I can modify it to do that. Usually modifying it just means installing a script someone else has written because of the brilliantly rich developer community using emacs. In that time I've seen proprietary developer users bounce from editor to editor as their vendor looses interest: Borland, Pico, textmate, etc. For me, making sure such an important piece of software is a FLOSS project with a good community behind it is a smart investment. I can count on the Emacs community not going out of business or requiring some sort of forced "upgrade" something that doesn't work for me. Now if only there was a way I could stop Lenovo ruining the Thinkpad.

That when something important is hidden / doesn't work as I might expect, that's where the vendor relationship factors in (in fact, w/ wing you can have the source tree by asking, under NDA). > > I've been using emacs my entire career.

I use whatever editor I want in wing (I'm not locked into it's edit-flow, although it does offer vi and emacs modes for the "quick-n-dirty"). But it's mostly a unified debugging / execution monitoring / testing setup, and for that I love it. And that makes it worth it for me. > In that time I've seen proprietary developer users bounce from editor to > editor > as their vendor looses interest: Borland, Pico, textmate, etc. > > For me, making sure such an important piece of software is a FLOSS project > with a good community behind it is a smart investment.

I tried what was there for Python, and picked wing some years ago for _my_ work style, and stayed with it (and continue to). I know others who have a reaction similar to yours for PyCharm (too many choices / too much investment into doing it like the tool wants), and I had a similar reaction to it too. So it (for me) didn't earn the seal of my $$. But the process (how each person does this) I think is essentially similar - will it enhance how I tend to work, and make me go easier / quicker / faster? And if I get stuck, will they help me in deadlines-timeframes? YMWV, of course. > > Now if only there was a way I could stop Lenovo ruining the Thinkpad. Heh. Haven't you "heard"?

Why so? You mean keyboard shortcuts, or some specific IDE-type feature? I find that when I start up Eclipse, it is usually to handle something that I would not do in Emacs (running the debugging, browsing through 20+ files in a package,...), but then I find that I can't find the stupid search and replace (someone just showed me that Eclipse can handle method/variable renaming really well -- but how would I find that out?). Often I find myself switching over to emacs because I know how to do something there, which must be in Eclipse, but I just don't know what its called or how to find it. Last time I used Eclipse, I found that I was unable to launch the debugger or get my files into a new project. I am used to mastering computer tools without much effort, so finding myself clueless is just not appealing. Eclipse is big, powerful and at least to me somewhat bewildering. Perhaps if I set aside a few days to just play with it and/or found some guide material to read, I might do better with it, but I have not found something like that Python programmers. This might be a good reason to prefer something commercial. I don't mind paying for value (but not for Redmond) and/or for good support and documentation, but there is something one gives up knowing that the source code for product that matters is locked up in a vault and that product could go the way of Digital.

Message-ID: I had a project a year ago that required using machine learning from a sensor network data feed. I was really impressed with the python script-able Orange machine learning/data visualization frame work. http://orange.biolab.si I was able to train a pile of methods in the gui. Then pickle them to be pulled up later in my scripts to process new streaming data. All in a friendly python add-on. For some reason it took me a long long time searching to find that package, so I though I'd share.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Jason - Why don't you post this to the google-plus community. About a year ago (after pycon-2012, I think) we did a ChiPY-north in Mundelein (long way to down-town), and opened it to people via plus. The advantage: anyone can speak, and share screen (or docs). I'm with you about face-to-face, but hangouts should fill the gap when you can't make the travel/time/whatever, but still want to be "present". That's the way I envision this - in person, if at all possible; backup plan is we'll always open to plus. Downside to that: the hangout limits are to 10 people as participants, but we can do "hangout-on-air" (broadcast) and people working remote can join smaller workgroups through satellite hangouts. I think this should work (even if it takes a while to figure out how to coordinate). Also, with "on-air" we can broadcast and save, for those who missed the time but _really_ wanted to be there.
