Hi all,

Can anyone tell me what language "Algorithm 1" (page 9) is in the attached
PDF? Is it the same as Figure 1 (page 11)?

I don't think either are Python, I'm guessing C?

Many thanks for any help!

Cheers,
Doug

Doug,

It's certainly not C.

It appears to be what's called "psuedo code" to describe the algorithm in computer language-neutral ways.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocode

Hi everyone,

I'm coming to the end of an internship at Hogarth and I'm looking for a new
Python role.   If anyone knows of companies hiring in Edinburgh at the
moment, can you point me in the right direction?

For those who don't already know me through the Python Edinburgh meet ups,
I'm currently working with python and django. I joined Hogarth in August as
an intern, working as part of an Agile team and was able to start being
productive almost immediately (the team I work with have been quite
embarrassingly complimentary!).  I also lead the PyLadies group in
Edinburgh and I'm organising a workshop, Django Girls Edinburgh at the end
of November.

Thanks,
Becky

I've worked with Becky for the last 3 months and she comes with my highest
recommendations.
She's friendly, incredibly smart and has an excellent level of Python skill
for some one just exiting their internship. Within her first 2 weeks at
Hogarth Becky was picking up stories from the same backlog of work as any
other developer on the team and delivered one of our biggest stories of the
last 5 sprints. I'm very sorry to see her go :(

James.

Hi Becky,

Here's a list of software companies hiring in Edinburgh which might help:

http://www.nobugs.org/deved/

The guy who maintains that list is a developer called Andy, rides a
unicycle, lives in Edinburgh, but isn't me (I had to do a quick sanity
check when I landed on his blog). He was on my list of people to contact
then I randomly met him last week while out unicycling, small world we live
in..

I've also got a head-hunter at http://www.teksystems.com/en-gb I need to
call back today who specialises in placing developers in roles, both
permanent and contract. He is a "recruitment guy" but I met him for coffee
and he's a decent guy, gets genuinely excited about finding roles, and
seems determined to find something for me though I'm not sure I'm in the
market... Here's his linked-in page:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/anoopgosai
I can introduce you if you want?

Also, I recently got work via my https://about.me/ page, which took 5
minutes to set up and I did it just for the hell of it. Maybe worth a try?

Still not done this Django tutorial yet, but will get to it!

Subject: [Python Edinburgh] How to do dynamic nesting of loops
Message-ID: <CAKaXSVFydRrSmYaQz_d_GNe+rEOH5QXpbd+pspTwSibY+gg2Ug@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I'm a bit stuck with this so maybe someone can help me.

I'm writing a little program that needs to iterate through several nested
'for' loops. However, the number of loops (and therefore the depth of the
nesting) cannot be predetermined.

I've read that lots of nested loops are bad form anyway, and that "you
should do it with functions instead".

However I still can't work out how to set the number dynamically.


for ((l=0; l<10; l++)); do
? ?
 for ((m=0; m<10; m++))
?;?
do

? ?
for (n=0; n<10; n++)); do

? ?
something
? that uses l, m and n?

    done
  done
done

So this is what it needs to look like if nest_depth=3

But how do I write a program that iterates something
? for nest_depth=4 (which in this case would use l, m, n and o)?, or any
other number (which can't be predicted)?

cheers,
Doug

PS I didn't write this in Python just for speed, but feel free to reply in
Python if you want - the practice would be good for me.

Hey Doug,

There are a few ways you could do this, but it would be helpful if you
could give a little more context on where you get l,m and n from and where
the limit (10) comes from for each (or how it's determined). Also, what
does the thing that uses those variables look like? Is it separate function
calls, or a function that takes a list of arguments, or something else?

Cheers,

Tom

It sounds like some kind of recursive function may be needed here. However,
it also looks like the 'inner' most function call will then be operating on
a variable number of parameters (e.g. l, m and n in your example, but it
could be l, m, n, k, z, etc). Is that right?

You can use itertools.product to simplify this even further. If the
max-count for each loop is the same then you can do:

import itertools
N=3
for x in itertools.product(range(10), repeat=N):
    print x

If the max-count is different you can specify the range for each part
separately:

for x in itertools.product(range(2), range(3), range(4)):
    print x

Actually, Tom's use of itertools is more accurate than my patch-job :)

Hi Doug,
I think you will need to write an iterator which will return a tuple of 
indicies.

How do you decide on the number of nested loops?

Your program might looks something like

def myIterator(some,args):
   white some condition:
       do some stuff to figure out what to do
       yield (i,j,k,...)

for indicies in myIterator(...):
     do something with the tuple of indicies

Hope this gives you a starting point

Cheers
magi

Hi Doug,
Lists nested like this ( e.g: [1, [2, 3, [4 ,5 ,6 ,7]]] ) can be thought of
as "tree" data structures.... Just incase you wanted to categorise the
problem to aid future googling :)

Cheers,

James

well, if you have some tree like or more generally graph like data 
structure I'd use a data type that reflects this fact. I have been using

Subject: [Python Edinburgh] Python Edinburgh Pub Meetup - Tomorrow
Message-ID: <CA+7EdnnPdJpAxJHUTCqeYu4JniKAG_JusBa7AL0dTHsv9nQ6-A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Our monthly pub meetup will be tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Potting Shed (on
Potterrow) at 6:30pm.

It's a chance to talk about Python and technology in general in a friendly,
informal environment, and *all* skill levels are welcome. It's a great
place to get help on a project you're working on or find out what other
people are doing! There will be printouts of the Python logo on the tables
for new people to help identify us.

This will be our last meetup of the year, as the fourth Tuesday in December
tends to be a bit busy ;-) Last month was possibly the best turnout we've
ever had, so it'll be interesting to see what happens this month.

Hope to see you there!

--Mark

Dear Pythonistas


I?m looking for a Python mentor/tutor/adviser. Someone tohelp me in the next few months to get to a stage where I can call myself a Pythonista.I have a few bob.


I wish to learn Python and OO program design. I?m pretty cluelessbut I have some programming experience (12 years of Fortran and a year of C++,but more than 25 years ago!).

I would like to learn by doing, by building a couple of simpleObject Oriented Monte Carlo programs to simulate simple economies or supplychains.


In the future I hope to make simple desktop applications,web applications, to use in my job (I do some data analysis and modelling for theWorld Health Organisation in the area of immunization supply chain % logistics). 


Any advice, suggestions, offers greatly appreciated.


Cheers, Paul

Hi Paul,
 
I would find small regular tutorials/self help groups helpful. I mainly
use GIS software and C# with a little python. I would be interested in
learning more python.  
 
Cheers

Small regular workshops would be a great Idea and I'd be happy to help out.
I know Becky got a *lot* of interest in her Django girls workshop that's
running this weekend so I don't think there would be any shortage of other
students either :)

I imagine if the mentors took it in shifts to take workshops we could get
fairly regular lessons without impacting anyones personal life too much?

Any ideas? Anyone else up for mentoring?


Cheers,

James.

Hi Xavier/All,
 
For me personally any form of practice and motivation would be good. I
have my own area of interest but happy to learn anything. Also happy to
share anything I know. My own preference would be to work together on a
shared goal, perhaps based on some issue someone had. Either one big
goal or several small ones, ideally starting on the easier ones. 
 
I would be interested in:
Creating a mobile application to work with a fitness band 
Automating the processing of aerial images  from unmanned area aircraft.
Anything related to GIS
 
As I said though happy to go with the flow
 
I might be able to provide office space (EH12 7AT) depending on when and
how many. Also happy to travel within Edinburgh(Sorry Falkirk a bit far
for me to do regularly) 
 
Cheers
Glenn

Someone to help me in the next few months to get to a stage where I can
call myself a Pythonista. I have a few bob.

			I wish to learn Python and OO program design.
I'm pretty clueless but I have some programming experience (12 years of
Fortran and a year of C++, but more than 25 years ago!).
			I would like to learn by doing, by building a
couple of simple Object Oriented Monte Carlo programs to simulate simple
economies or supply chains.

			In the future I hope to make simple desktop
applications, web applications, to use in my job (I do some data
analysis and modelling for the World Health Organisation in the area of
immunization supply chain % logistics). 

			Any advice, suggestions, offers greatly
appreciated.

			Cheers, Paul

I'd be no use as a mentor right now, but I have couple of programs I need
to write and would be very interested in participating in a regular
workshop ... even if it meant paying some actual real money!

There is a Python Dojo every two months in Glasgow, on the second Tuesday,

>From the mailout about it:
We are having a Christmas Dojo on the 9th of December. Twig are graciously
hosting us again. Details about how to get there are below.

A coding dojo is a safe place to practice and develop your coding skills,
and perhaps learn something new too. We brainstorm ideas for problems to
solve, choosing one by popular, if complicated, vote, and then break into
teams for an hour and a half of furious coding (at least, furious
something). To wrap the evening up each team does a quick "show and tell",
and then some folk usually head to the pub.

*All* skill levels are welcome, from seasoned Pythonistas to people just
thinking about trying Python out.

The dojo's are usually really well attended so make sure to get your ticket
now at:

For what it's worth, in the new year we will be running a dojo in Edinburgh
every 3 months. I'll send out an email about the new arrangements in the
next week or so.

It sounds like this is something different, though - something more
systematic and aimed more at learning Python, rather than practicing the
craft of programming.

(I am also more than happy to mentor at any workshops. Does anyone want to
volunteer to organise these? If so, please email me direct!)

Yes, someone mentioned to me that Edinburgh does dojos too. I don't think
that's what we're after though - unless I'm mistaken, in the dojo format
you get told what you're working on, so no use if you have your own
projects in mind. Not saying they're not fun and useful though.

There is a Python Dojo every two months in Glasgow, on the second Tuesday,

>From the mailout about it:
We are having a Christmas Dojo on the 9th of December. Twig are graciously
hosting us again. Details about how to get there are below.

A coding dojo is a safe place to practice and develop your coding skills,
and perhaps learn something new too. We brainstorm ideas for problems to
solve, choosing one by popular, if complicated, vote, and then break into
teams for an hour and a half of furious coding (at least, furious
something). To wrap the evening up each team does a quick "show and tell",
and then some folk usually head to the pub.

*All* skill levels are welcome, from seasoned Pythonistas to people just
thinking about trying Python out.

The dojo's are usually really well attended so make sure to get your ticket
now at:

I like the idea of working on each others projects as we learn and help
each other out at the same time.  So we need people who want to learn? a
list of problems to solve? and maybe some people with more experience to
guide?
 
I'm in!

design. I'm pretty clueless but I have some programming experience (12

@Glenn: Yeah I think that has a lot of value for mentors too... I'd like to
learn about Monte Carlo simulations of economies, processing aerial images,
etc.
