From ed at pythoncharmers.com Sun Sep 2 21:54:57 2018 From: ed at pythoncharmers.com (Ed Schofield) Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2018 11:54:57 +1000 Subject: [melbourne-pug] Melbourne Python meeting - tonight, Monday 3 September Message-ID: Hi all! We're looking forward to another great meeting of the Melbourne Python user group this evening. We've got a very interesting main talk planned: *1. Peter Degorski: Weather, Energy, and Python* (~30 minutes) Energy Analytics is a new industry which Victoria is well positioned to lead in. Python is one of the wonderful tools that are adaptable enough to keep up with the enormous fast paced change. Pvlib-python and windpowerlib are great open source python tools used to model and study utility scale modules and wind turbines. Both are highly customisable. These two renewable energy modelling packages can run stand-alone and with some effort can be adapted to run on historical weather datasets. Doing this can help with the analysis of correlations in the wind/solar generation portfolio of Victoria. Python was the perfect package for this type of project; in my case it was used end to end; from downloading of the data to data modelling, analysis and ultimately visualisation. Also, this shorter talk: *2. Ed Schofield: **Handling physical quantities and units with Python* (~15 minutes) Following on from Peter's talk, I will give an overview of the why and how of Python tools to handle units easily for scientific and engineering-heavy fields. *3. Lightning talks?* *4. Announcements and pizza* *When:* 5.45pm for mingling; talks from 6pm; pizza afterwards *Where: *Outcome-Hub Co-Working Space, Suite 1, 121 Cardigan Street, Carlton *How to get there: *Walk 12 minutes north from Melbourne Central station. *Sponsorship:* many thanks to Outcome Hub for providing the venue, Biarri for offering pizzas, and Python Charmers for meetup sponsorship. *RSVP:* Please respond on Meetup.com so we can track numbers: https://www. meetup.com/Melbourne-Python-Meetup-Group/ Do come and join us! We hope to see you there! Best wishes, Ed -- Dr. Edward Schofield Python Charmers http://pythoncharmers.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We're looking forward to the next meetup of the Melbourne Python user group on Monday. We've got two interesting talks planned: *1. Ned Letcher: Creating interactive dashboards with Plotly Dash* (~30 minutes) Dash is a framework for building modern data-driven web-apps in Python. In this talk, Ned will describe how Dash builds on Flask, React, and Plotly.js to provide a platform for Python developers to build analytical web applications, without requiring any JavaScript. I'll also walk through some example Dash apps, showing how it can be used for rapidly building production-grade custom dashboards as well as prototyping proof-of-concept interfaces. *2. Sam Bourne: Leveraging type annotations* (~25 minutes) Sam will talk about the use of type annotations at VFX company Luma Pictures for helping us avoid mistakes in a large shared codebase. He will showcase PyCharm's wonderful static type checker and give a demo of how you can generate dynamically created user interfaces (in Qt) by inspecting types. *3. Lightning talks?* *4. Announcements and pizza* *When:* 5.45pm for mingling; talks from 6pm; pizza afterwards *Where: *Level 2, 17 Hardware Lane, Melbourne CBD -- *new venue!* *How to get there: *Walk 8 minutes from Flinders Street station or 5 minutes from Melbourne Central *Sponsorship:* many thanks to Outcome Life for providing the venue, Biarri for sponsoring pizzas, and Python Charmers for organisation and meetup sponsorship. *RSVP:* Please respond on Meetup.com so we can track numbers: https://www. meetup.com/Melbourne-Python-Meetup-Group/ Do come and join us!
