Isn't there a test site up somewhere?

For PyCon 2011, there was a checkbox "[x] OK to Video."  I can't find
that in the models, was wondering if it is still in the UI.

Tomorrow is going to be my last day of free time that I can work on
PyTexas stuff, so having the schedule in will be really good.
otherwise it will be Friday when I am waiting at the airport.

btw, you mind re-tweeting this: (and add #pygotham which I forgot)

The new site went live last Monday, thanks to Glen Zangirolami.

    http://www.pytexas.org/

Here is the announcement:

    http://blog.pytexas.org/

The schedule page has not yet been published, because the schedule
data still needs to be entered. We did have a volunteer who agreed to
start data entering the schedule data into the Django admin screens,
but it looks like that has not happened yet.

Glen...any thoughts?

There are some other folks who are stepping forward to help, so I will
ask if any of them wants to work on it. Hopefully we can find someone
who can get it done quickly...I anticipate it will take a couple of
hours of copy/paste work.

Subject: [Texas] Hang out on #pytexas this weekend
Message-ID: <CAA_9swpmCsvy4va7x+R1c0PtA=pzphOEib_g2jTzZapH1uNRoA@mail.gmail.com>

Why bother to venture out and see the world on this Labor Day weekend,
when you can hang out with fellow PyTexans on the Freenode IRC at
#pytexas?

...though I suppose if you're particularly clever you might find a way
to do both!

This is the last weekend before the PyTexas conference, so it's
probably a good time to chat about details, like what to do the Fri
evening beforehand, polish your lightning talk, plan for carpooling,
etc.

This weekend several of us working on PyTexas preparation will be
hanging out on the Freenode IRC #pytexas, and we might also try a
Google Hangout at some point, so please join us if you're interested
in helping out.

Step 1 to volunteering is to get a login to the issue tracker...which
by the way is starting to heat up; tickets are publicly viewable here:

http://pm.pytexas.org/projects/pytx2011/issues

Step 2 to volunteering is...ask around.

Hope to see you on IRC this weekend!

The PyTexas wiki has undergone a bunch of cleanup and reorganization.
The front page is now packed with useful info and links. The result is
a bit of duplicate content between the front page and other pages on
the wiki, but I believe it's worth it to have it on the front page.

Please check it out, and feel free to fix any mistakes you run across.

It seems as if many of the messages I post to the Texas Python mailing
list drop into a void, whereas messages to individual user group
mailing lists seem to connect and get responses.  I'm not sure why
it's such a quiet list, since the Texas Python mailing list membership
has 126 subscribers.

Is this quietude due to an excess of politeness? More likely everyone
is busy working due to the high demand for Python programming these
days. Or perhaps even...Texas Python programmers have a life?

Still, I hope community participation can be seen as a valuable part
of that life, and worth a bit of spare time here and there, even if
it's just to pay attention. It should be getting more interesting and
productive for you to participate, with all the new infrastructure
we've raised up (the project tracker, the new Django-based website,
the updated wiki content, the blog, IRC, the GitHub organization, etc.
See the freshly housecleaned http://wiki.pytexas.org for the most
current set of links & info).

In any case, the community does seem to really exist because 192
people (!) have registered for the PyTexas 2011 conference next
weekend, which I'm convinced will be a blast for everyone. Here are
some brief updates:

* The TAMU College of Architecture has offered to pay for Sat & Sun
catering of breakfast, afternoon snacks, and coffee!
* Snoball.com is hosting a party in on Saturday evening with free beer
and food.! (details forthcoming)
* In case you missed it: there's a new Django-based PyTexas website:
www.pytexas.org. See
http://blog.pytexas.org/2011/08/new-pytexas-website.html
* A Blender + Python tutorial is in the works to be added to the
schedule, at the request of folks at TAMU who say Blender has a lot of
local interest.
* A talk on virtualenv + pip + virtualenv wrapper is planned to be
added to the schedule
* Unfortunately the "Python Glues Everything" presentation had to be canceled.
* We have nearly finished a deal with RackSpace to provide one year of
cloud server hosting for the Texas Python community, to the tune of
$250/month of server resources. I've already paid for the first month
just to get the servers available to host our websites. After the year
is nearly up, we'll review options, and likely use sponsor money to
pursue further.
* Watch for a Schedule Survey tomorrow, to help us do some last minute
tweaks to the schedule. I need to know if we have enough lightning
talks to cover sessions on both Sat & Sun! Also I'd like to gather
info on the PyTexas Teach-In participation. This survey should have
gone out earlier...but I procrastinated. Tomorrow it will really get
done.
* General info on How to Volunteer has been posted at the bottom of
http://wiki.pytexas.org
* If you're one of the volunteers planning to help on Friday, stay
tuned for details. We will definitely need your help!

Finally, I'd like to mention that I'm looking for the best way to
email attendees directly. That is how most PyTexas registrants
indicated they wanted. I've learned that blasting out lots of emails
to individuals via bcc seems to cause my gmail account to get closed
for violation of terms of service. Looking for suggestions...

Ben Liles at TAMU has found 6 loaner machines available belonging to

Hello Texas Python Community,

This email is going out to over 200 registered attendees (via bcc),
and will also be forwarded to the user groups.

PyTexas 2011 is coming this weekend, and our volunteers and sponsors
have been busy putting together a great conference. Over 200 attendees
have registered, which brings both greater excitement and greater
challenges. I believe we'll be well taken care of in the way of
refreshments for everyone, though we may exceed the capacity of some
of the rooms.

It would help us greatly with the scheduling of the rooms if you could
fill out our Schedule Survey, to give us a reality check on whether
you are still coming, and which talks you plan to attend, whether
you're going to the Sat evening party, giving a lightning talk, etc.

    http://blog.pytexas.org/p/schedulesurvey.html

This survey has multiple pages which cover the entire schedule. If you
have trouble deciding on some of the talks, you can find the links to
all the talks on the current version of the schedule posted at:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhPmDnJC8EfldDFiTldOWEctQzNVVkV0ZC15ZXR2bGc&hl=en_US

Message-ID: <CAA_9swqL6_NGeXWuBrFKFgtsqq0Hyf=MtnOodT-+0hvxeRRFeQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

PyTexas is nigh!

The fun starts Fri afternoon/evening with the swarm of volunteers who
show up and help with the setup...right?  If you are one of those
volunteers, please *reply to this email*  so I know who you are and
what time you plan to arrive (4pm is most likely a good time to start
showing up).

I'm expecting over 40 volunteers based on registration results, so I'm
hopeful we'll have all the help we can need.

Join us! It'll be fun! Here is a small sampling of the stuff I'd like
to get help doing on Fri:

* putting up signs around the area
* test wifi
* locate printer
* running power strips and taping down cables with gaffer
* possibly buy more power strips
* setup of A/V equipment
* taking all the chairs/desks out of the room planned for snacks/sponsor tables
* placing sponsor tables and snack tables
* stuffing swag bags
* putting gaffer tape on floor in hallway to indicate plans for Sat
morning hallway table setup
* taping schedule grid to the wall
* organize registration materials
* put out swag
* organize prizes
* pick up A/V crew at airport
* make sure every pre-registered attendee has a t-shirt reserved,
along with the sponsor reserved shirts.
* eat dinner...not sure the plan on that

I'm still working out the details of what happens when, but currently
it looks like 4pm will be a good time for people to start showing up.
I'll be there much earlier in the afternoon getting prepared.

To those of you who reply, I will respond with further info.

We will need tables...long sturdy folding tables are the best, but
anything you can fit in your trunk would be great.

We don't yet know how many tables will be needed...often they are
useful to have around for unanticipated needs.

I've bcc'd the Fri volunteer crew, but if you are not a Fri volunteer
it still might be good to have extra tables on hand if you have one.
Email me off-list and let me know if you have one, or post to this
wiki page:

    page:http://wiki.pytexas.org/SuppliesCheckList2011

There's also a Google Docs spreadsheet listing other stuff we need,
which is primarily being worked by the Fri volunteer crew. However if
you want to participate in the spreadsheet let me know, and I'll give
you access.

The 3pm Saturday talk on OpenStack got canceled today. We have a
number of options:

* Find another speaker (this is your chance to step forward!)

* Extend the Python in the Classroom panel to 2 hours

* Have a Web Framework Shootout, which some have expressed an interest
in. This would require people to step forward and discuss and possibly
defend their favorite Python web framework from cheap shots. :-)

* Make it an Open Space slot  (default)

If folks have ideas or opinions, please let me know. You could also
discuss this on the Texas Python mailing list. If you have not already
joined, you can do so here:

I like the "Defend Your Framework" idea.

That could be fun.

With a little forethought, we could have turned it into a roast and
had some good fun with it.  :)

I like the "Defend Your Framework" idea too, but mostly because I'm
interested in learning more about the framework. Making Python In The
Classroom 2 hours would be my second. But I feel that if we can get another
session going AND people REALLY want more Python in the Classroom, we can do
a BOF in one of the open spaces.

I've bcc'd the Fri volunteer crew, but if you are not a Fri volunteer
it still might be good to have extra tables on hand if you have one.
Email me off-list and let me know if you have one, or post to this
wiki page:

   page:http://wiki.pytexas.org/SuppliesCheckList2011

There's also a Google Docs spreadsheet listing other stuff we need,
which is primarily being worked by the Fri volunteer crew. However if
you want to participate in the spreadsheet let me know, and I'll give
you access.

Tyler Hobbs has stepped forward to give a presentation which he has
given before, called "Cassandra for Python Developers", by Tyler
Hobbs. For those unfamiliar, Apache Cassandra is an open source NoSQL
database that's been very popular lately, and Tyler maintains the
Python client for it here: https://github.com/pycassa/pycassa.

I think this talk will be very interesting, and is going to create a
very tough choice for what to attend at that Sat 3pm time slot!

Regarding the web framework shootout, maybe we can do an open space
for that. It looks like we are getting an extra room...

Hello PyTexas Speakers,

Thanks again for presenting at PyTexas. Your efforts contributed
mightily toward making this past weekend fun and interesting for all
of us.

Please let us know if you have your presentation slides or other
relevant online somewhere. Our PyTexas website team would like to post
links to the info to attendees who may wish to review them again after
seeing your presentation. If you don't currently have a place to store
the materials on the web, we can provide a solution. Just reply to me
off list, and I'll put you in touch with the PyTexas website team.

Anybody want to have a PyTexas "lessons learned" meeting sometime this weekend?

I have a bunch of handwritten notes about what worked and didn't work,
and am planning to put them into a Google Doc, and seek further
collaboration and input.

Let me know if you want to be invited to have edit access, or if you
want to participate in a meeting. If so, what times work best for you,
and what type of meeting you prefer...IRC, conference phone call,
Skype, Google+ Hangout, etc.

I'd be interested, and as long as it doesn't happen friday afternoon
I'll attend.  I'm good with any method.

I'm NOT available this weekend at these times:

   - Friday night (unless it's oddly late, like approaching midnight)
   - Saturday from about 11am-1pm

Otherwise, I'm pretty open. Monday at 10am CST on IRC also works for me.
I've used Google+ a bit. Never got around to setting up Skype but this might
be a good excuse. Once we get a time setup, I'll get my appropriate tech
setup. I just DBAN'd my HD, so I'm in software setup mode anyway. :-)

I'm definitely interested in hearing your thoughts on this.  It would be
nice if a document was produced as part of it, however, so it can be
referred back to.  Whether that document is created before or after (or in
place of) a conversation about it doesn't really matter, but the reference
material would be invaluable.

I agree with Travis on the value of the document.

As far as waiting until Monday, the weekend might be better for most, but
I've got a VERY flexible schedule now (wink, wink), so whenever is good with
me. If we can get a critical mass together at one time, perhaps a document
can be created then, which others can refer to AND comment on?

Monday is definitely out of me...the weekend is the only time I'll be
available, and that time for me will still be very limited. I propose
4pm-5pm today, to allow for those who sleep during the day, but early
enough to avoid conflict with most folks dinner and evening plans.

I'll be on the Freenode #pytexas IRC around that time.

invited everyone who responded to me on this thread (plus a few others
I who I know will be interested).

Subject: [Texas] Sending data over tcp
Message-ID: <CAJZnH0mQ30rRuuQyaBei5T8+JeJTaY34m2O3tqgXKM+knnoN8A@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

I recently wrote a python script which generates some bash scripts for
data analysis.  Apart from this, I want this script to ask the user
for their name and email address and send it over to my server over a
tcp connection.

There are some example server and client scripts available online and
I was trying to follow this one:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/TcpCommunication

There are several questions I have about this:

1. Where would the server side script reside on the server?
2. How do I set my webserver to listen at a particular port number?
3. When a connection comes in, what will trigger the execution of the
server side script?

I realize that this particular example is only sending some message
back to the client.  But what I want to do is write the incoming
information to a file on the server (in a secure place of course) and
send a message back to the client that their information has been
recorded.

If you have any advice on how to accomplish this, I would highly appreciate it.

Thanks
Vikram

Have you considered just using a webservice?

Unless you have true need of a raw socket, I'd just use HTTP.
Collecting info like name, etc is perfect for a form post.

Python's standard library has the SimpleXMLRPCServer which makes it pretty easy:

http://docs.python.org/library/simplexmlrpcserver.html

Here is the client:

http://docs.python.org/library/xmlrpclib.html

Example is here:

http://docs.python.org/library/simplexmlrpcserver.html#simplexmlrpcserver-example

This is a type of web service like Jeremy mentioned, but he is most
likely referring to a more modern RESTful web service. Usually a
RESTful web service might involve setting up a web framework, as
explained here:

Message-ID: <CAG_b13en36zbdJi_BdpQDozMdxrB2DHD8+ei3RQk_4BsaLreXQ@mail.gmail.com>

*ANNOUNCEMENT*

Plans for the pyArkansas 2011 Python conference are underway. The 4th annual
conference will be held October 22 on the campus of UCA (Computer Science
Department). The conference is totally *FREE* and anyone interested in,
using, wanting to learn, or just curious about the Python programming
language <http://www.python.org> is encouraged to attend.

For more information about the conference and to register to attend, go to
http://www.pyarkansas.org

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

Talks are 50 minutes (40 minutes of you talking and then 10-minutes for
questions) and can be on anything Python.  Are you using a standard library
module that's really cool?  Perhaps a third party package that you think
other people should know about?  What about that killer project where you
did something interesting or fun using Python?  This is a chance for you to
share your knowledge with an audience that wants to hear what you have to
say!  Don't think you have to be a "Python heavyweight" to present; if you
are doing something interesting, we want to hear from you (and we're
bringing in a couple of heavyweights to give tutorials and talks of their
own).  We want a wide selection of topics and skill levels for the
conference.

Do you have a paper you would like to present?  This year, we have a special
track for students (High School and College/University) to present academic
papers (25-minute slots).  How cool is that?

Without talks, there is no pyArkansas.  You don't want that, do you?

If you are interested, please email the following information to
pyar2-organizers at python.org (don't "reply" to this).

   - Talk Title
   - A brief (a paragraph or two) description of your talk
   - Intended audience (beginner, intermediate, advanced, web developer,
   gamer, astronomer, etc.)
   - A brief blurb about you (that we can put on the website)
   - Length (papers are 25-minutes, talks are 50-minutes.  There are a few
   longer talks slots available if you feel you need a little more time)

We'll look them all over and make the selections by October 1 to give you
time to prepare.

We're looking forward to seeing you speak this year!

Message-ID: <CAD+XWwrzr-o+_+WZYYUT0hiZNqh0K6j5WTV924qoN+Kd4H_eKw@mail.gmail.com>

The deadline for PyCon 2012 tutorial, talk, and poster proposals is
under 15 days away, so be sure to get your submissions in by October
12, 2011. Whether you?re a first-timer or an experienced veteran,
PyCon is depends on you, the community, coming together to build the
best conference schedule possible. Our
call for proposals (http://us.pycon.org/2012/cfp/) lays out the
details it takes to be included in the lineup for the conference in
Santa Clara, CA on March 7-15, 2012.

If you?re unsure of what to write about, our recent survey yielded a
large list of potential talk topics
(http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/need-talk-ideas.html), and plenty
of ideas for tutorials (INSERT TUTORIAL POST). We?ve also come up with
general tips on proposal writing at
http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/08/writing-good-proposal.html to ensure
everyone has the most complete proposal when it comes time for review.
As always, the program committee wants to put together an incredible
conference, so they?ll be working with submitters to fine tune
proposal details and help you produce the best submissions.

We?ve had plenty of great news to share since we first announced the
call for proposals. Paul Graham of Y Combinator was recently announced
as a keynote speaker
(http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/announcing-first-pycon-2012-keynote.html),
making his return after a 2003 keynote. David Beazley, famous for his
mind-blowing talks on CPython?s Global Interpreter Lock, was added to
the plenary talk series
(http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/announcing-first-pycon-2012-plenary.html).
Sponsors can now list their job openings on the ?Job Fair? section of
the PyCon site (http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/announcing-pycon-2012-fair-page-sponsor.html).
We?re hard at work to bring you the best conference yet, so stay tuned
to PyCon news at http://pycon.blogspot.com/ and on Twitter at
https://twitter.com/#!/pycon.

We recently eclipsed last year?s sponsorship count of 40 and are
currently at a record 52 organizations supporting PyCon. If you or
your organization are interested in sponsoring PyCon, we?d love to
hear from you, so check out our sponsorship page
(http://us.pycon.org/2012/sponsors/).

Howdy folks!

I am not one to keep great things to myself, so felt it my duty to pass this

I've been using Mongo on and off for some time and it is so amazingly fast

Hope to see you there!
