Company 2 are focused on Bioinformatics and working closely with researchers to improve efficiency of information available and the quality and format of research data to help advance the speed at which discoveries can be made by removing the data heavy engineering, throughput and allowing researchers to focus on the area they are most effective. Each company are looking for strong Python/Django experience, with the capabilities to build excellent API's. Both teams have different levels of experience in the teams and looking for senior developers to help drive projects and in the future mentor junior/mid level developers.

Unfortunately, I'm a little short of venues at the moment. In case you don't know what it is, the projects night is intended to be a monthly event where you can go to hack on that project you've been meaning to hack on (and really will get started on soon, honest), in a friendly group. This can also be an opportunity to share problems and maybe find solutions that you might not have found hacking on it in a sleep deprived state at home. The meetup group is here: https://www.meetup.com/London-Python-Project-Nights/ So, if anyone knows a place where (usually) 10 - 20 developers could hang out and code then I'd love to hear from you. This can be a workplace (food does not need to be provided) or a pub/cafe/similar (since we normally order pizza in anyway, having food available might help). I'm intending this to be once a month on a Thursday (likely the third Thursday in the month) night from about 18:30 until ~21:00, but can be somewhat flexible on times. There's usually a bit of discussion so anywhere with library-reading-room standards of quietness will probably not be a great fit, but we shouldn't be as loud as a band rehearsal. I'm intending that this starts up again in the new year (January). As I say, if anyone can suggest/offer venues I'd be most grateful.

I have had the benefit of seeing some of the behind-the-scenes work to get this together, and can I thank Peter and the others who've worked to put everything in place? Even if you've never had to do this, you can imagine how tricky it is to juggle everything into place, including day-long workshops, panel sessions, keynote speakers, regular talks, different room capacities, speakers' particular time constraints and all the rest.

Pyweek is a week-long games programming contest, which has been running since 2005 [1]. Entrants create a game in Python in exactly one week, on a theme chosen by vote, and which will be rated by other entrants on criteria of fun, production, and innovation. Theme voting has just begun, and the potential themes are: - I never saw that coming - It's too dangerous - Los Angeles has been saved - Storm's dying down - They're behind everything This time, for the first time, it will be possible to write games in Godot Engine [2] and in Unreal Engine 4 [3], which I'm really excited by! If you have an evening or two (or more) free next week, why not sign up and create something fun? You can enter as a team or as an individual. Sign up at https://pyweek.org/.

Message-ID: I never understand why people get angry at jobs being posted to this list. After all the footer to the list has as always https://mail.python.org/ mailman/listinfo/python-uk And on that subscription page it says: *This list is to help UK Python users to form a community, arrange events, advertise help or jobs wanted or sought and generally chat.* It is a bit of shame that the biggest form of usage is jobs mails though. (I don't have any solutions here, just expressing the usual mild surprise that anyone gets angry at the list being used for it's intended purpose. But then if we go there, we'll end up talking about reply-to policies, vi, vim, emacs, joe, tabs vs spaces, 8 space tabs vs 4 space, and other silly things, so I'll just godwinise it by comparing my "It'z In ze rulez" post to being something far more extreme... and close this down before it starts :-D ) Michael.

True enough, though it's probably only a sign that the market/scene has matured to the point that there are at least jobs where Python is a main part of the role and not some rogue technology you have to hide from the boss. It could be worse - a lot of activity on Planet Python, for example, seems to be advertorials and semi-promotional in nature these days. I'll save my rant about that for another time. For transparency, I should say that it was me who suggested that Paul send this job advert to the mailing list. He approached me about the role and I told him about this mailing list and the Python Job Board. I also warned him about the possible negative responses he might get posting here and asked him to provide more information than he might otherwise have done, so it's gratifying to see that he took my advice. If the role had been in North West England then I would personally have been more interested in it, especially if it had been a permanent position. My rant about the job market in the UK will also have to wait for another time.

The sprint will be hosted by Bloomberg (thanks!), and will happen on the 1st of November at 6:30pm. We are organizing sprints almost every week. If you're interested in contributing to Python projects feel free to join the group, even if you can't attend to this sprint. Cheers!

As weird as it sounds it would take one method to override and mess up with. django.db.models.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler.as_sql is your friend. You'd need to find a clever way to figure out if given compiled sql query is the one you're interested in and only then alter it, to avoid performance penalties. I'm not sure it's a good idea, but it is possible. Of course it's quite deep in internals so passing any custom stuff there would be anyway kinda "threadlocal-magical". Regarding translations, just curious: have you considered django-hvad / django-parler? Cheers, Jakub > > I mean maybe I could on the fly modify the db_column value. But would that > be thread safe?
