Phil,

Nice work on this.  Thank you for putting this together and sharing it with
everyone.

I didn't get to attend your presentation, but I do have a couple thoughts
to share.

First, I like the idea of speeding up the top ten method, but the
implementation isn't quite correct in all cases.  Consider passing a
sequence to your function in sorted descending order.  The curMin equals to
the maximum value on the first iteration of the series and only one item
will be return from your deque.  Also, renaming curMin to curMax would be
more clear.

For a better implementation, we can look at the collections source code (
https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/collections.py line 484 ). The
Counter class has a most_common method implemented, and it does exactly
what we want.  Here the method defaults to the sorted method you shared
when "n" is not passed.  Of course this runs O(n log n) as it does a
complete sort.  However, when n is provided, the algorithm switches to a
sorted heap which is faster when we only want a specific number of items (
O(k log n),  n := heap size, k := items requested from the heap ).

One other thought on the Counter class.  The constructor does take an iterable,
so if you want you could pass your csv reader or a generator directly to
the Counter during the initialization.

If any of this was discussed at the meeting, I apologize for the repeat but
hope others will benefit from the discussion.

Again thanks for putting this together.  You made me think about these
structures more and made me look at python source code.

Best,

Aaron

Note that it's "impossible-object*s*". The second email address Len gave is
correct. Lest someone send an email without first visiting the website. :-)

Hilarious, I'm reaching out to see if he is willing to give a talk at ChiPy.

We actually met before at the Onion HQ. It was quite fun but a little
cramped.

Hi Brian,

I took two math courses at IIT a few years ago.  I saw some Wolfram
Mathematica there, and also a lot of Matlab.  I was just wondering if you
know how much Python is used at IIT.

Best,

Douglas.

Message-ID: <7967421C-972A-456A-A5AD-B0E031F6F779@gmail.com>

Vokal will be hosting the Web SIG in June, tentatively next Thursday June 16. We have one speaker lined up, but we would really like to get someone NOT from Vokal to speak. It can be anything related using Python to do anything Web-related; feel free to talk about your pet project, any cool libraries you are using, technical challenges you recently overcame, etc. Your talk can be any length up to 30 min, so if you?d prefer to even give a short 5-10min ?lightning talk?, feel free to let us know.

As usual, we should have some pizza and beers, as well as some non-alcoholic refreshments.

Feel free to respond to this thread, or contact me (foresmac at gmail.com <mailto:foresmac at gmail.com>) or Adam (adam.bain at vokal.io <mailto:adam.bain at vokal.io>) directly.


Thanks,

==========

Our team is looking for a skilled, experienced, and hard-working developer
who enjoys writing high-quality code. We look to find a person who shares
our desire to build things in Chicago that can be more interesting and have
more real impact than what is being created elsewhere.


When it comes to software, we are getting tired of the words ?tech? and
?solution? and we strive to concentrate on complicated web-based computer
technologies, using some of the latest developments, and building things
that work amazingly well in real applications.


*Critical skills we need:*

?         Python ? mid to advanced level

?         Web development

*Big pluses:*

?         Experience with business systems development

?         Full stack

?         Ecommerce experience

?         Payments processing experience

?         Node.js for back end

?         Excited about ECMA 6

?         Some software architecture experience you are proud of

?         PHP on Laravel or Symfony

*The project we need help on:*

?         First priority is to develop several high quality modules for a
Python ERP system to enable it to be used for ecommerce, making it an
end-to-end ERP system with ecommerce front end that is fully integrated.

?         Upon completing the modules, 3 online stores are to be launched
using the array of newly created modules. We will run these stores and use
them for on-going R&D for both system development and marketing strategy
experiments.

o   Once the initial three stores are running, we will open more.

?         Work from external clients is also taken on, given that it is
aligned with our goals, abilities, and availability. Thus, to make this a
long-term partnership, some external projects might be assigned in case if
the primary activities are completed or on hold

*What to expect:*

?         To test your skills, in addition to meeting to talk, we will
provide a test, which will require you to develop a small module in Python,
which will test your research skills, attention, ability to figure out
system logic, and your coding skills specifically in Python

?         We will pay market rates and, as long as you continue to help
with what the team needs, we will work very hard to provide you with
interesting work for as long as you wish to stay with us

You can read some basics that we advertise about ourselves here:

https://www.linkedin.com/company/steersman-company

We also have a website that we don?t emphasize at this point:

http://www.steersman.works


Please send an email to andrey.kolesnikov at steersman.works if interested to
know more and potentially join our team.

Message-ID: <CAHCs_rYQkroLJ4AdJpBuCSx4V2UPGMawPS+qQF9nbycU=Zw2kg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

This is your monthly reminder for Python Project Night and Python Office
Hours.

Python Project Night is this Thursday at Braintree.
http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoPythonistas/events/229056120/
Please join us for playing with python together.

Python Office Hours is this Wednesday at Pumping Station: One.
http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoPythonistas/events/231446732/
This is similar to project night, but in a smaller setting at
http://pumpingstationone.org/

I may actually be able to attend these this time. I've been traveling or
hanging out with Carl while he gets his appendix out. He doesn't have an
appendix this week, so all's well.

Regards :)

Message-ID: <CA+G_OOu6iv4FEriT43mD-gSy+b5HcA0gNUAy4HTiYUM7AbsNBw@mail.gmail.com>

The Illinois Campaign for Political Reform wants to add another dev to do
some work (the last Chipy member placed is still there doing a great job on
the sunshine site).

This role is more web dev.  In short, the want this site
http://www.ilcampaign.org/ilvoterproject/

to look like

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/06/10/upshot/voting-habits-turnout-partisanship.html

The site is running on PHP for Wordpress.  The person who comes on can
implement in that, or migrate to the main site (which is Python powered).
It is really up to you.

The are getting a new data file next week, and want to get going ASAP!

This is really a part time web, data science, visualization gig -- and has
to potential to be long term.

If interested, contact me off list (jdumblauskas at gmail.com) and I can get
your resume over.

The people who sent in resumes for the first role, if still interested, can
also put their hat in for this role as well (just let me know).

Since this is a non profit -- we are not taking a referral fee (like last
time), but just trying to get a good python dev in doing some great work.

thx

Jerry

Just a quick update on this: our paper on teaching Python to undergraduate
students has been through two rounds of peer review, and has now been
accepted for publication in the Journal of Geoscience Education. A
pre-print of the accepted version can be found here:

Oh, I'd love to jump on this, but I'm already well employed and maybe a
little overcommitted (my wife would kill me). I'd be willing to volunteer
some, maybe pitch in weekend hackathons, or help
lead/architect/scrum-master (maybe 5-10 hours/week). I'd be super sad if
someone was willing to fund a project like this, but we couldn't staff it
locally.

To help others figure out what kind of skills would likely be
needed/sufficient:

The NYTimes page uses JavaScript visualization library, D3,
https://d3js.org/

There is a project/library/framework to parse voter files, but sadly IL is
not yet implemented, and does not use pandas.
https://github.com/pablobarbera/voter-files

These example pages are remarkably similar to Jupyter notebooks (chart,
caption; chart, caption; ...) , and most of the work could be reasonably
done rapid-prototyping in Jupyter. Maybe even the D3 stuff..
https://github.com/stitchfix/d3-jupyter-tutorial

Is this something we could work as a partly volunteer effort? If ChiPy
helped organize volunteer sprints, could the campaign maybe kick something
in for ChiPy?

Message-ID: <CAHCs_rZDySZQyS=UuTX0UKuCp8KgaFzTTmXjAZR+SarXMqzimw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

PS1 received this email about an upcoming hackathon at the UI LABS
Innovation Center. I checked with the poster and got permission to share
this here as well. They are looking for people who will help by giving
presentations on using python for data science, and using data APIs.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Josh Lustig <josh.lustig at uilabs.org>
[...]



I am reaching out on behalf of the Digital Manufacturing and Design
Innovation Institute (DMDII), which will host its first-ever Hackathon next
month at the UI LABS Innovation Center on Chicago?s Goose Island. We?d love
your support as a subject matter expert.



On July 15-17, participating teams will use six months of machine tool data
to hack out an app for the Digital Manufacturing Commons (DMC) related to
real-world manufacturing floor issues. The challenge is to exploit this
data in a meaningful way, such as predicting part failure or proposing
energy-optimization schemes.



The event is hosted by DMC?an online platform for manufacturing
collaboration?and DMDII, a world-class, first-of-its-kind manufacturing hub
and part of the UI LABS portfolio.



For full details of the Hackathon, please see the attached flyer, also
available
online
<http://s3-us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com/www-production/documents/dmc-hackathon-flyer-v7.pdf>
.



*How You Can Help*

Currently, the Hackathon team is seeking subject matter experts.
Specifically, we are looking for presenters for the following topics:

?             Data Analytics (Tableau, General Statistical Procedures, etc.)

?             Python for Data Science (Data Mining, Manipulation, Analysis)

?             Using API?s on Data



If you?re interested, please email me back at josh.lustig at uilabs.org. We
ask that prospective subject matter experts be available during Friday
evening (15th) and/or Saturday morning (16th) of the Hackathon. If you?re
unable to support this event, but think you?d be interested in partnering
with us on a future Hackathon, let us know that as well!



Thank you in advance for your support!

Subject: [Chicago] Bokeh methods as arguments
Message-ID: <D72CAA94-2024-4266-B7FE-8E2BE86B6956@yahoo.com>

Is there a way to call methods of the bokeh.plotting.Figure class by passing them as an argument?

I'm trying to write a Bokeh line chart utility that provides pre-selected data point shapes, colors, and line dash styles for a to-be-determined number of data series: a consistent, predefined style that is color-blind-friendly. I can define lists for colors and dashes...
colors = ['blue', 'red', _]
dashes = [[1,0], [2,2], _]
...and pass those values easily because they are keyword arguments, but the shapes are methods of the Figure class.

Here is the behavior I'm trying to copy:

for i, xy in enumerate(xys):
    x, y = map(list, zip(*xy))
    color, dash = colors[i], dashes=[i]
    p.line(x, y, color=color, line_dash=dash)
    if i % 13 == 0:
        p.circle(x, y, line_color=color, fill_color='white')
    elif i % 13 == 1:
        p.triangle(x, y, line_color=color, fill_color='white')
    else:
        pass  # etc.

I'd like to replace the if/elif section with something equivalent to:

    p.myCall(shape_methods[i], x, y, line_color=color, fill_color='white')

Thanks!!

Why would you want to do this?

You can subclass Figure and add your own method yes. Or you can just do
something like (untested):

def my_call(p, shape_methods, x, y, line_color, fill_color):  # or *args
**kwargs...
   for method_name in shape_methods:
      method = getattr(p, method_name)
      method(x, y, line_color, fill_color)

Robin,

You might want to look at the getattr so you could writ something like:

    getattr(p, "circle")(x, y, color=color, fill_color="white")

which will pull the circle method off of the p object and pass the
formats.

FYI, I'm not super familiar with bokeh, but I would guess there's probably
a config file that would make setting this up easier.

And looks like Brian beat me to the punch.

    funcs[i % 13 ](x, y, line_color=color, fill_color='white')

That is, make an array of function pointers and call based on the position of the function in the array.  This will only work if you actually pass exactly the same parameters to each function.  
If you don't you might get the same idea to work using functools.partial to wrap the functions to where you do have all the same parameters.

Thanks Brian, Aaron, Phil!
I tested these approaches, and each one of them worked. I imagine I'll probably use Brian's approach, defining a function, because it decouples the list of shape method names from the Figure instance's symbol.

I had tried creating my own class based on Figure, but Jupyter Notebook didn't want to display an object not specifically of the Figure class. I also got errors when trying to use add my own method to a Figure instance with setattr.

Bokeh's scatter marker methods where the marker has no interior (x, asterisk, and one other I can't think of) conveniently ignore fill_* keyword arguments. Probably didn't have my use case in mind, rather just if someone decides to change from 'circle' to 'x' they can do so without having to know to remove the fill_color.

Just ran across another way you could do this.  In the operator module there is 
operator.methodcaller(name[, args...])
Return a callable object that calls the method name on its operand. If additional arguments and/or keyword arguments are given, they will be given to the method as well. For example:
After f = methodcaller('name'), the call f(b) returns b.name().
After f = methodcaller('name', 'foo', bar=1), the call f(b) returns b.name('foo', bar=1).

So you could have square = methodcaller('square', ...params... ) and then a call to b.square becomes square(b).
