From rasjidw at openminddev.net Wed Nov 3 01:06:45 2010 From: rasjidw at openminddev.net (Rasjid Wilcox) Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2010 11:06:45 +1100 Subject: [melbourne-pug] More Python meetups! In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4CD0A795.8010601@openminddev.net> Hi all, I'm thinking of giving a short talk this Friday. I've got two potential topics, but I'll only have time to prepare for one. The choices are: 1) 'Frosted Python' - a way of using py2exe that combines the best of 'frozen' python packaging (known modules / packages, custom .exe name etc) with the best of 'vanilla' python scripts (able to be modified on the fly, small size for program updates etc). 2) An object validation system - useful when you have user entered data that needs to conform to given business rules before being used / stored in a database etc. Inspired by the validation part of Enthought's Traits system, but much more lightweight and somewhat more flexible. If people have a preference for one over the other, let me know. Otherwise it will be one of these at random, and the other will be saved for another time. :-) Cheers, Rasjid.

Related to this, how do people do automated deployment of virtualenv apps? I have things like a few pylons apps I'd like to be able to wrap up and deploy to any number of machines I have running uWSGI + a webserver; but to do this, one has to do 'virtualenv --relocatable' as well as sed substitute the actual VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable in the `activate` script. This seems like a pain, but I want the virtualenv love and I want easy deployment. Does anyone have some waf build process which takes care of this sort of thing? I'd love to see a presentation about exactly that :-). > 2) An object validation system - useful when you have user entered data that > needs to conform to given business rules before being used / stored in a > database etc. ?Inspired by the validation part of Enthought's Traits system, > but much more lightweight and somewhat more flexible. > > If people have a preference for one over the other, let me know. ?Otherwise > it will be one of these at random, and the other will be saved for another > time. ?:-) > > Cheers, > > Rasjid. > > > > On 30/10/10 09:33, Ed Schofield wrote: >> >> Hi everyone, >> >> We're re-starting the monthly Python meetups! >> >> We're lucky to have been offered a venue for future Python meetups by >> Inspire9 in Richmond.

Just discovered Ian Bicking's FormEncode Validation (http://formencode.org/Validator.html) which is quite similar but much more mature. I think one of Python's biggest 'problems' is that because it is so easy to do stuff, it is very easy to re-invent the wheel. Cheers, Rasjid.

It's not a complicated project but the accessibility requirements and front-end code quality are very important. Our main application is in python so python (in whatever framework) for this project would be ideal (and we're in Melbourne which is why I'm posting this here). And of course feel free to pass this on to anyone you think might be interested: "Loop11 are looking for a strong lead web developer / programmer for a short term, fixed price project. The specific experience we require are detailed below: ? Web accessibility WCAG (1&2), ATAG (1&2) and ARIA ? Web standards (X)HTML ? Web best practises (use of text for headings-not images, use of clean semantic HTML, tables only for tabular data not used for layout) ? Web application development that includes an API ? E-commerce integration Submit your application to Toby Biddle " Cheers Benjamin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It was great meeting people doing a variety of interesting things with Python. A special thanks to Rory, Graeme, and Rasjid for their talks! In case Richard has no luck getting a better room at RMIT, Inspire9 has offered us the same venue on the first Friday in December. They may offer us the Monday too, if that's the general preference. Either is fine for me. My thoughts are that Fridays let most people stay out later and enjoy themselves more over dinner / drinks afterwards. I'm going to aim to write up summaries of our meetings as blog posts, for those who can't make it on any given evening. I've blogged about the last meeting here: http://pythoncharmers.com/blog/melbourne-meetup-2010-11-05 For those of you who came, let me know if you'd like me to add a link to your site or project!
