I really liked the language and would like to use it as part of my PhD (in Conservation Ecology, not Computer Science). So I have a number of questions on the fit of Python as the best tool for the job... 1. I am currently thinking of using Lazarus (Free Pascal) as my tool of choice for the Desktop version of my program. The program is likely to be fairly computationally/data intensive and I am familiar with Delphi (and a bit of Lazarus). I would like something that is easy to cross-compile for Windows and Linux and easy to build a user-friendly GUI. It is also easy to connect to databases from Lazarus (similar to C# .NET, which is not an option for me). I know only of Boa Constructor as a Python IDE for desktop GUI development. I am not sure if it is cross-platform, though. So while I am not seriously considering it at present, I would like to know if there is anything similar to Delphi / MS Visual Studio .NET for Python? 2. I would like to also write a Web version of the program, which is really what I want to use Python for (my other option here was Ruby). I know that for some heavy data crunching python sometimes use modules written in C with a Python wrapper (I have never done this myself with Python, but have used Java wrappers for assembler modules in the past, and liked it as a neat way to have fast modules - a bottom-up view - and the main program being written in the higher-level language - a top-down view). Is the same thing possible for free pascal modules? I.e. to write the more computationally-intensive modules in Object Pascal and wrap it in Python? 3. If I do not have full control of my web server (it being hosted elsewhere), what would be an easy way to deploy a python web application? I do have ftp access to the public http directory, and AFAIK the server is running Python. Is there any Python tools to make this easy? (I have so far only written command-line programs in Python and used asp .NET for past web applications). Any good links to help my dive into Python appreciated.

I don't know how ASP.NET works, but I know that with PHP you just dump the files on the server. Python doesn't work like that. You have to actually deploy your app. You say the web server is running Python, what do you mean by that? > Any good links to help my dive into Python appreciated. If you're not into VIM like me, then I recommend downloading and using PyCharm. It's the Python IDE that sucks the least.

At PyCon Namibia Aisha, Ibrahim and myself shared similar feelings about the need to create software (amongst other things) in Africa. We were delighted to have met a number of people from several different countries in Africa since we feel that we can do more if we help one another. There was a realisation that we may be distributed further apart than (for example) Europeans are and perhaps also have fewer opportunities to meet. Moreover, it came to light that people in different countries are not always aware of events, such as PyCon Namibia or PyConZA that could bring us together. That is why we felt a mailing list would be a good idea, and with the kind help of Naomi Ceder on the PSF board, here we are! Now that it is there, there is a question of what to do with it :-) We honestly did not think much further... Perhaps that is a good thing: now that several people have joined up you all can probably make that decision. Here are some thoughts we had: - This would be a good place to announce events, such as PyCon Zimbabwe and PyCon Nigeria (which we know some people are thinking of organising). There is also an upcoming DjangoGirls in Nigeria and in Zimbabwe if I am not mistaken. - We can also promote open source projects that happen in Africa, or find someone to help. - Even Python questions could be a good idea - some may be more comfortable asking those within our own "Pan-African community" In general we just want to keep in touch, know what's going on and stimulate a more coherent Python community in Africa. We hope you have similar aims and feel welcome to join in.

We can all help & I would be happy to :) >From what I have seen so far, before organizing an "official" PyCon, it's always good (maybe required?) to start with organizing local meetups & confences (if you haven't already). That is a good way to build up your local community and sharpen your event planner skills. Once that is done, you'll have a stronger base and it will be much easier for you to plan an "official" PyCon. There are a few peoples registered on the list that have concrete experience in organizing Python events. On another note, since this list is quite new, I wanted to share few interesting advices from Naomi: << - *Be kind to each other*. The tone of this list has been wonderful, so keep that. Even in disagreements remember that everyone is sincerely striving for the same thing and be kind. - *Share the load*. No one has the energy and the time to do everything, so please take the time to put yourself out there and pitch in. All levels of contribution are valuable, but the ones who seek to understand the problems and work to fix them without prompting are priceless. Sharing the load is far better than having just a few do the work who then become burnt out and quit. - *Share the load*. On the other side, even if you think you can do everything, perhaps better than others, make room for people who want to help. No, you can't do everything, and not giving people a chance to contribute will drive them away. - *Join us*. But "us" I mean the wider Python community, in particular the Python Software Foundation. Connections with other communities can offer help in a number of ways. There are a few things you can do: - Become a member of the Python Software Foundation. Basic membership is free, just go to https://www.python.org/accounts/login/ and create an account and you are a basic member! - Join/post on the PSF-Community mailing list. All PSF members around the world are welcome to post and connect using that list. It would be great place to let the world of Python know what you are doing. - Become a voting member of the PSF - if you put in 5 hours a month (or 60 hours a year) doing Python community work (organizing, coding, documentation, etc) you are eligible to become a voting member. Voting members vote to elect the board members (like me), to accept sponsor companies, and on other issues of governance as they arise. The more diverse and widespread our voters are the more likely the board and governance will represent everyone and make better decisions, so the PSF really needs you. The info on becoming a voting member this way is at http://pyfound.blogspot.de/2015/02/enroll-as-psf-voting-member.html - Working group. The PSF has a structure to create working groups for projects as needed. If you have a project or goal, we might be able to create a working group. Contact me for more advice on that. - Get funding. The PSF offers funding for meetups and conferences around the world. For more information on how to do this, go to https://www.python.org/psf/grants/ and I again would be happy to help out. >> Sorry for the long message :) keep it up! -Ibrahim Le sam. 20 f?vr. 2016 ? 12:12, Farell Folly a ?crit : > Hello Ibrahim, > > That is a very good idea.

We thank Naomi, Loek, PSF and others who might have contributed to the success of it. After the event we had a meet up and a dinner at a chosen hotel where we also talked at the table: it was fun. After everything, we set up a slack channel to ease communications and we hope to grow through that at finally hold a Pycon Nigeria. We also decided to work on a viable open source project which would have many contributors. Bayo wants Aisha and I to also help out with administering the email list of Nigeria: a role which I have gladly accepted. Aisha Bello, a very nice lady, discussed Pycon South Africa with me and I've thought it over. If possible, I would like to attend.

It's always good to see that things are moving. The DjangoGirls workshop is a great event, and also very rewarding. Don't hesitate to talk about that open source project on the list. I have met Aisha at PyCon Namibia, she was also co-organizing a DjangoGirl workshop where I was a mentor. She's engaged, positive and has very good ideas. We even had an interesting story about Open source and Jollof rice , feel free to contribute :) It's always good to insist on events like PyConNA and PyConZA , those are very good opportunities for African pythonistas to exchange and discover each other but also to meet peoples from anywhere else in the world. That's how the idea of that mailing list was born. Hopefully one day we will have PyCons NG, BJ and SN etc.. and why not a continental one? I will do my best to attend PyConZA during next October and I hope I will meet some of you there!

The open sourced Jollof rice isn't a bad idea. I laughed while I read it. I would inform everyone when our project(s) come on board, we are still working towards the modalities. But it would be an app that would help one to be security conscious, that's what we decided on. If possible, I look forward to attending any conference held in Africa. When that day comes that we would have PyCon Africa, it would be a nice achievement. I would not hesitate to offer my help, when called upon by the community. Cheers to everyone.

URL: From aishabello2050 at gmail.com Sat Feb 27 03:30:03 2016 From: aishabello2050 at gmail.com (Aisha Bello) Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2016 09:30:03 +0100 Subject: [Python-africa] DjangoGirls Lagos and PyNigeria Message-ID: Dear Pythonistas, Yaaay so DjangoGirls Lagos happened last weekend and it was awesome, when all the pictures are ready alongside our short video clip, I'll be sure to post the links here. Also some of our attendees are looking to organize a DjangoGirls in another city in Nigeria #DjangoGirlsOgbomosho in May and another DjangoGirlsOAU is happening in April. Basically we would have 3 DjangoGirls events happening in different states in Nigeria within the space of 4 months. So I was going to do a blog post about the workshop in form of a report and share it on later but Iwan and Ibrahim encouraged me to do a brief report here pending when I get done with the article. In total we had 38 attendees and 13 coaches. Special thanks and shout out to all our Mentors who came from far and near to coach some of the attendees. How we did for diversity? Age- We had women from age 13- 58 participate in the workshop Location- We had about 40 percent of attendees from Lagos and the remaining 60% from other Nigerian states including Osun, Oyo, Rivers, Taraba, Ondo, et.al. Challenges: So Haven helped co-organized DjangoGirls at PyCon Namibia I learnt a lot and thought I was really prepared for our workshop. For power Luckily I had the utmost support from the venue (CC Hub) who made sure their back up generator was up and running when power failed, I also got lots of power extension boxes in addition to the ones provided by our venue and that came in quite useful as even though there was enough ports for people to plug their laptops I found out that people wanted to be able to charge their other devices like phones or tabs. On Internet: I realized this was very crucial and has a way of putting everything to a halt when people can't push to Github or deploy to Python Anywhere; so even though the venue promised us internet I got a back up with data capacity of 30gb. This turned out really useful as the internet of the venue only had a few user names and passwords opened to multiple users so quite a number of people had to use the backup internet I got. And here I was thinking that 30gb was more than enough for just 2 days especially as I had python, git, sublime text, Atom all pre downloaded and copied to pen drives and the only thing needed to be downloaded was the Django framework which wasn't heavy at all, but Alas I was faced with the fact that at about 30 minutes to the end of the workshop the backup internet data finished. I should have gotten more data. Operating System: As was a similar case in Namibia most of our attendees used Windows (say about 95%) and only about 2 or 3 people brought Mac, and there was no one with Linux. A brief Story similar to what happened to Namibia: So about just 1 week before the workshop I had attendees email me that they didn't have laptops but they were going to borrow to participate in the workshop, and one in particular who said she was robbed in the past month and lost all her valuables including her laptop but was going to borrow either way. So I thought to myself if there was something I could do as it would be sad to come to the workshop, learn all these amazing stuff and have to return the laptop with no easy means for continuity. I reached out to the Python community in Nigeria explaining my dilemma and even started a twitter campaign soliciting for old/ refurbished laptops even though it was late in the day with the theme *Help a woman continue in her coding journey* and also late to even think about getting Raspberry pi's. Imagine the delight and happiness we felt when a pythonista who wants to remain anonymous came to the Python Nigeria meetup and donated 2 laptops to our attendees. It meant that these women could go back home and even after returning the borrowed laptops had their own laptops to continue in their coding journey #Beautiful. Also special gratitude to our sponsors and everyone who made the workshop possible and also made it possible for us to give financial aid to attendees travelling from other parts of Nigeria. (The Python Software Foundation, Django Software Foundation, GitHub,, Co-Creation Hub, Godwin Effiong, Thelma West, The Lagos Python Meetup ), Naomi Ceder(Our awesome Cake and Cupcakes sponsor), The Python Nigeria community, Chukwudi Nwachukwu (for our customized DjangoGirls pens) and a host of many others who supported us......We can't Thank you enough. On Twitter if you wanna see some pictures see @DjangoGirlsLAG Curious about how our fist Python Users Group Nigeria meetup went do see this awesome blogpost by a member of our community Tosin < http://takwas.github.io/article/python-nigeria-first-meetup.html> and the open source project we all agreed to work on. In all it was really awesome to see more pythonistas in Nigeria under the same roof communicating about how to move the community forward among other things. So there we go a brief report about DjangoGirls Lagos and PyNigeria, and I look forward to more PyCons in Africa or an Africa PyCon.

I live and work in Belgium (only a couple of hours away from where Guido van Rossum invented Python ;-), but I started a project in Togo in 2012, where I have since set up two computer rooms for the benefit of MS/HS students (and teachers) in rural schools. I am about to install another one next summer, and my goal is now to install one more room at least every year for the foreseable future. I also lived there for a year in order to work at the project, training teachers and students. Bien s?r, je fais cela en fran?ais, puisque nos amis Togolais apprennent le fran?ais ? l'?cole (peut-?tre qu'un jour je pourrai le faire en ?w?, mais j'ai encore beaucoup de travail avant d'y arriver ;-) The second room I set up was a Raspberry Pi room, and that's the type of installations I intend to make exclusively in the future (at least, Single Board Computer rooms... whether they are strictly Raspberry Pis or other brands of SBC make little difference). There are so many advantages in using these small computers for such projects. Of course, the Raspi is closely linked to Python, as that was the first language promoted on that platform. Hence my question : have other members of this list set up similar rooms in other African countries, and are they working with such devices? I would love to share practical experience with them... FYI, here is a small video of the setup of our first Raspberry Pi room : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d075z_tZ0Qo DL -------------------------------------------- On Sat, 2/27/16, python-africa-request at python.org wrote: Subject: Python-africa Digest, Vol 1, Issue 13 To: python-africa at python.org Date: Saturday, February 27, 2016, 7:02 PM Send Python-africa mailing list submissions to ??? python-africa at python.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit ??? https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-africa or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ??? python-africa-request at python.org You can reach the person managing the list at ??? python-africa-owner at python.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Python-africa digest..."

I received a generous donation of 6 Raspberry Pis from PyCon Namibia, and i hope to start a Young Coders Group/ class in Zimbabwe. I am still dealing with some bureaucratic issues with a school I intend to work with. I have a tutorial which has been used at recent PyCons in North America by Barbra Shaurette at her Young Coders workshops. I hope to work with with you and maybe we can help each other.
