This month's challenge is to create from scratch a Tic-tac-toe/noughts and crosses game with an AI opponent - the first test for which can be found here: http://github.com/ntoll/code-dojo/tree/master/tic-tack-toe/ Free pizza and beer will be provided by Fry-IT from 6:30, coding will start when the food is finished (that'll be 6:35 then...). In addition, all participants who code will have their name put into a hat for a "prize draw" for Python related books donated by O'Reilly and others. What on earth is a code Dojo..? Try looking here: http://codingdojo.org/ What happened at the first dojo..? Tim Golden blogged about it here: http://ramblings.timgolden.me.uk/2009/09/18/london-python-code-dojo-last-night/ and I posted my thoughts here: http://ntoll.org/article/code-dojo-what-really-happened Bottom line, it'll be fun, social coding where you'll be able to meet like-minded developers and might even learn something.

We've got desktop machine running XP and/or Linux in the office that we could use... alternatively, if you can bring a laptop that'd be great. The reason I used my MacBook last time was because of the screen situation... I *knew for certain* that it worked pretty effortlessly with the projector and second monitor (a setup we want to use again). Unfortunately, I'd been trying to get X to work with an external monitor and ended up realising I'd rather stick forks in my eyes. ;-) Anyway, here's how *I* imagine the setup to be to make participants as comfortable as possible (on my MacBook): 1) A single screen shared from the laptop to the projector and a third monitor that we'll stick towards the back of the room for those who can't follow what's going on at the front because they forgot their Opera glasses 2) A USB PC keyboard and mouse 3) A "visual" editor a la gEdit that is neutral in the editor wars... (suggestions..?) 4) Python 2.6 5) Git If anyone else would like to contribute a laptop/OS that'd be great. If you can make it work, we should use it and we can always fall back on my MacBook if all else fails. As for IronPython... I suppose that'll need some thought before-hand for the purposes of configuration. I know the Resolver guys will be there to call on for help and I don't mind getting the thing to run on Mono on my MacBook, but I think the whole subject of IronPython/Jython/ Pypy and cPython alternatives might be a good subject for a show-and- tell type dojo (make your Python write once, run everywhere). As always, comments, suggestions and good ideas are most welcome. Nicholas.

I think he meant ipython http://ipython.scipy.org/, the interactive python shell, not IronPython. ipython (or bpython http://www.bpython-interpreter.org/) is a good idea. Particularly for 'investigative' programming.

I don't mean to put you on the spot, but if I learned anything from the last Dojo it was that putting people in front of unfamiliar tools makes the Dojo more intimidating and uncomfortable (one more thing to learn / get to grips with in addition to solving the problem at hand). However, if it will make the Dojo easier then we must use it - I *personally* think part of the reason for coding in public is to discover new development tools and "wrinkles" that we can all learn from! Perhaps we should just make it available and highlight it for those who wish to use and demonstrate it (as Dave suggested). Nicholas.

If I'm right, they both offer basically a reworked Python interpreter with lots of bells and whistles. But the bells & whistles are optional, so there's a very shallow learning curve but the opportunity to see how the extra features might be useful. bpython doesn't work on Windows and iPython has never quite clicked with me in spite of a few goes, but I'm at least +0.5 on having them available for people who know/like them or at least think they might benefit.

The features I find most useful (and which I think will be of benefit to the dojo) are context-sensitive tab completion and the help system. Using these is an order of magnitude faster than looking things up in the docs and works for any modules or objects that ipython can see. It also has a bunch of built-in commands such as 'cd', 'ls', 'rm', 'cp' etc for accessing the filesystem, 'time' and 'timeit' for timing fragments of code, 'run' to execute a file in the namespace of the interactive session, 'ed' to edit text in a text editor and execute the code as if it was typed at the prompt, and many more.

One particularly useful feature is doctest-mode. Which makes the shell look just like a regular python shell, but allows you to paste in doctest style code. Very useful for copying and pasting code from the web to try it out. # Eg.

Python wise it's a means to an end, and an extra string to my bow. I'm not a CS guy so most of the time it's just to get computers to do what! It was the first (and only) language I've learnt. However I usually find the meetings and socials of Python groups to be entertaining and worthwhile. Otherwise I'm a Free Software kinda guy (sans beard), involved in the Hacker space stuff in Birmingham, and hoping to take part in the London Hack Space too.

Time: Wednesday 21st Oct, from 7pm Venue: The Blackfriar near Blackfriars tube [1] As usual, you and your Py-curious friends and colleagues are welcome. Barcamp London 7 is just a few days after, so this might be a good opportunity for those attending to discuss potential python-related projects and gear up. It might also be a nice place to discuss the Python Code Dojo (which is tonight!) and plan for the next one. Look out for the can of spam if you're not sure who we are.

That'll mean the next Dojo will be on Thursday 3rd November, 6:30pm at Fry-IT's offices. Anyone have any problems with this..? As always, comments and suggestions welcome, Nicholas.

This actually does solve some real world problems for me. I work a lot with distributed teams (in the same timezone and in multiple timezones). Being able to collaborate on a doc and have chats recorded on the doc and see how the chats are reflected in the edits is great for me. It is a bit like google docs with chat or a wiki with built in chat. I would just like it if they added spreadsheet functionality. Having the word processor bit is nice, but it would be good to be able to talk numbers with someone too. > Have you guys read Greg Conti's book Googling Security? You should. The other thing I like about it is that it is federated and is a protocol. It should be possible to set up your own private one. I know that some people are looking at that already. I can see myself using a public one for public things (London Python meetups for example) and private ones for my own personal or business use. cheers, Bruce From fuzzyman at voidspace.org.uk Mon Oct 19 13:28:51 2009 From: fuzzyman at voidspace.org.uk (Michael Foord) Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:28:51 +0100 Subject: [python-uk] Google Wave In-Reply-To: References: <4ADB47E8.7030005@voidspace.org.uk> <85dba0990910181003k34a6bd8eo7fc13778b3dd307@mail.gmail.com> <6303bf20910181010x72024445ya34cd255294f39e@mail.gmail.com> <87k4ysa4ie.fsf@ronaldann.demon.co.uk> <1cce34210910181300p27735afbmdaa47dde842d4773@mail.gmail.com> <25652E5C-B9B9-44C0-B6C9-786D66DA6705@ntoll.org> Message-ID: <4ADC4D73.7060405@voidspace.org.uk> John Pinner wrote: > Hi, > > 2009/10/19 Pablo Brasero Moreno : > >> This is pablobm at googlewave.com.

From then on we'll try to run the meeting on the first Thursday of every month. As we only got so far with tic-tac-toe we'll attempt to finish it off as this seemed to be an interesting problem that people enjoyed hacking away at. There will be the usual free pizza and beer (thanks Marcus) and O'Reilly have said they'll supply another "prize" - I have the sneaking suspicion it might be either Collective Intelligence or the new Natural Language Processing book. To see how far we got the code is here: http://github.com/ntoll/code-dojo/tree/master/tic-tack-toe/ To sign up visit the event website here: http://ldnpydojo.eventwax.com/3rd-london-python-code-dojo Comments and suggestions most welcome...

From then on we'll try to run the meeting on the first Thursday of every month. As we only got so far with tic-tac-toe we'll attempt to finish it off as this seemed to be an interesting problem that people enjoyed hacking away at. There will be the usual free pizza and beer (thanks Marcus) and O'Reilly have said they'll supply another "prize" - the new Natural Language Processing book. To see how far we got the code is here: http://github.com/ntoll/code-dojo/tree/master/tic-tack-toe/ To sign up visit the event website here: http://ldnpydojo.eventwax.com/3rd-london-python-code-dojo (this is so we get an idea of how much pizza/beer we need to order) Comments and suggestions most welcome... See you there!

It'll be the first *something* of every month ;-) Suggestions (if you haven't already made any) most welcome! Nicholas.
