[FoxPUG] September meeting notes

[T. Kim Nguyen]

Thanks for the update, Christian! Both topics would have been of interest to me. I know generally of PEP 8 but not the others. 

One well known Plone developer has put together configuration goodies for the Sublime Text Editor, including integration with a PEP 8 tool:

There is another tool that uses Python I think the way ARC GIS does:

Other tools that embed Python:

Here’s a summary of our September meeting.

We took a look at the projector in the meeting room. It has a VGA
input. So, anyone who wants to present will need a VGA connection on
their laptop.

Christian could not connect to the guest wifi from his laptop, even
with the username and password provided by the help desk. Mamadou
offered to look in to making guest wifi available to the group.

Christian presented a short introduction to the Python PEP (Python
Enhancement Proposals) process. We looked at PEP 8 (Python style
guide), PEP 20 (the zen of Python), PEP 446 (changing the way file
descriptors are handled). and PEP 3156 (a new approach to asynchronous
IO).

Mamadou demonstrated some of the Python capabilities built in to ARC
GIS, the geography software that his department uses. Christian
suggested that Mamadou present it in more detail at a future meeting.

It was a good meeting. We look forward to seeing you at the next
meeting, October 7.
