Hi Chris,

Do you know if this position is still open?   I am weary of Cisco -- not so 
interested in what's a DevOps job, in a Cloud Operations group.  Nice folks, 
good managers, but this is not what I want to do.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I am moving into my new place in Durham on 18 July Saturday -- 4100 Brenmar 
Lane in Durham.  I have a house-sitting gig in Chapel Hill (19 Apr - 11 June; 
ending 5 days earlier than the 16, originally), and moving out from there, and 
from 2 UNITS Pods currently in a warehouse in Siler City.  I closed on Laura 
Lane in Yadkinville on 2 April.   You are always welcome to visit -- it's in 
Hope Valley Farms, just east of the Woodcroft area.

--------------------------------------------------------------

My request:  would you be willing to "accompany" me, for a colonoscopy 
appointment at UNC, in the near future?  I will work with your schedule.  
Everyone including my UNC Fam Practice attending docs, are recommending this.  
I am not excited at all, but I guess I should do one at least.   Just let me know.

Hope to attend more TriPython events and participate, after so long a time of 
being unsettled.

We talk soon, thank you,

Subject: [TriPython] Busy Week Ahead and Help Request
Message-ID: <5595745B.2030500@unc.edu>

TriPython has a busy week after the holiday weekend. We have a three 
ring circus lined up for you in three cities.

Monday, July 6 is first Monday beginner night in Durham at Astro Code 
School starting at 6pm. Brian Russell and Caleb Smith are your generous 
hosts:
http://tripython.org/Members/brussell/july-15-pbn
http://www.meetup.com/tripython/events/223042303

Tuesday, July 7 is first Tuesday project night in Raleigh at WebAssign 
from 6pm to 9pm. Steve Gambino is your gracious host. I'll be at 
SciPyCon. So I won't be there myself to bring pizza. Bring some yourself 
if you like:
http://tripython.org/Members/sgambino/july-15-rpn

Wednesday, July 8 is second Wednesday project in Chapel Hill at RENCI 
from 6pm to 9pm. My co-worker Lisa Stilwell will be guest hosting. I'll 
be at SciPyCon. So I won't be there myself to bring pizza. Bring some 
yourself if you like:
http://tripython.org/Members/cbc/july-15-chpn

I have a help request. If you were already planning on being at the 
Chapel Hill Project Night on Wednesday July 8 next week, I'd like 
someone to be the TriPython facilitator for the event while I'm away. 
That would be someone who would make sure introductions are conducted 
after a critical mass of people arrive and who would make sure newcomers 
are welcomed and beginners helped. You know the drill if you've been to 
project night already. My wonderful co-worker Lisa will be seeing that 
the meeting room is open and attended. But she hasn't attended a project 
night before. If there's more than one volunteer, the more the merrier. 
Sound off if you'd like to do that. My wonderful co-worker Lisa is also 
starting her first Python web app this week (she's already very 
proficient with Java web apps). So if you know some Pyramid, please help 
her out at the project night.

I'm fairly certain I'll be there tomorrow, and I will be glad to handle 
that.  (Sadly, I'm triple booked tonight and won't see the Raleigh crowd 
:( )

I'm interested in getting recommendations for learning/using python as a
system administrator.

I have found to books but both are a few years old, so thought I would ask
the group if
there were others that are more recent, or if there are good examples
online for admins.

I support AIX, Solaris, and Linux systems.

The books I've found but fear are two old are :

Python for Unix and Linux System Administration

 Pro Python System Administration (Expert's Voice in Open Source) Paperback ?

Can you provide some ideas about what you might want to do with Python 
in the area of system administration?  I suspect that you'd be better 
off learning generic Python then searching out specific help (questions 
here or on another list, blog articles, existing libraries on 
pypi.python.org that handle much of your problem, etc.; probably not 
books) for system administration problems you need to solve.

A possible compromise:  "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" is a new 
book "for total beginners" that teaches Python and guides the reader 
through a number of "task automation" topics.  Many but not all of the 
topics are relevant to system administration.  However, they might not 
map closely to anything specific you might have in mind.

I came across the "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python"  book, after
posting to the list :-)
I've been reading through the online version, and watching the youtube
videos.

Biggest challenge right now, is parsing sudoers files. I posted a related
email this week.

I've been able to get parts done with ksh and PERL, but not a complete
solution. So, after watching
the videos, I'm going to try and use regex in python. should be able to do
the same thing in PERL -- but
wasn't able to master the pattern to get just what I want. I was creating
to many false positive matches.

I'm working on a number of tasks dealing with collected password , shadow ,
sudoer, groups, and other files
for auditing expiration, users,and privileges.

So, I think I need to study and try and apply the reexp examples from
"Automate the Boring Stuff with Python". As well, as dig into the
documentation for re module.

Any other suggestions appreciated. I'm glad this new python text came out.
I'm really impressed with it. Surprised, a beginning book can go into
regex. But, Al, does a great job.

I highly recommend this book. It's language agnostic and if you take the 
time to fully grasp it will change the way you think about regular 
expressions for ever, giving you deeper understanding:

I'll try to get a copy. This sounds like a great resources to get a handle
on regex and then hopefully, I can apply it to which ever language I want
to use them in.

   to use them in.

Subject: [TriPython] Success at SciPy Conference
Message-ID: <55A966A2.6040703@unc.edu>

I want to thank everyone who contributed to our GoFundMe campaign so 
send Luke Campagnola to the SciPy Conference. Luke was a success there 
beyond our wildest dreams.

First, Luke's talk was the toast of the conference. It was so liked that 
it was placed at the top of the SciPy2015 video playlist featured at the 
top of the front page:

http://scipy2015.scipy.org

As I walked the halls of the conference, I could hear everyone talking 
about it. He was such a good speaker and the crowd burst out in applause 
in the middle of his talk.

At the end of Jake VanderPlas's State of the Tools keynote, he suggested 
that we might need to replace Matplotlib with VisPy.

During the Maplotlib sprints, there were discussions about how to slide 
VisPy under the Matplotlib API and let VisPy be the Matplotlib workhorse 
engine.

Luke even had the best lightning talk of the conference (at 34:58, 
marked here):

https://youtu.be/YCxQI4C34j8?list=PLYx7XA2nY5Gcpabmu61kKcToLz0FapmHu&t=2098

Your contributions had a direct effect to help advance the forefront of 
Python. Thank you.

Heh. While I was typing, after spending a week at the top of the 
playlist, Luke's talk was shoved down the stack by a late entry. So 
here's a direct link to his talk:

Hi TriPythoners,

I don't code for my full time job, but I've used Python for some useful
utility and reporting scripts. I'm interested in learning more, and I think
it would be fun to play with a cloud environment to develop and host Python
on. That way if I manage to create anything useful, it's not "locked" on my
laptop.

I've looked at Openshift, Amazon, and heard of Heroku.  For someone who
does this just as a very part time/ on the side kind of thing, it seems
like any of these environments take some getting used to and learning to
set up, etc.

Which environment is the easiest to set up and get started?
Which has the best features for longer term management?
Do they all support databases fairly well?
What databases am I likely to be interested in, if I get more serious about
Python development (I realize this is a very broad question)?

Are there other environments I should be looking at?
Am I thinking about this whole thing all wrong? ;-)

Thanks,
Neal Caidin

It is my sad duty to inform you that due to a death in the family, Chad 
Vawter will not be able to present PySpark this week.

We have three options:

1) If you have a presentation quality talk in the can and would be 
willing to be the goat, please speak up. I think more general Python or 
data science topics are becoming more desirable these days and 
web-related topics less so.

2) Get your lightning talks ready now!!!

3) I'm going to make another attempt to persuade one of our members who 
has presented on PySpark before to another group to present it so us. He 
changed jobs and so is not working with PySpark anymore, and so declined 
that last time I asked. But hope springs eternal.

Hi Neil,

Whatever you do will have a learning curve. One option is to get an account
on AWS free tier.

https://aws.amazon.com/free/

It may be harder at first but you will not have to relearn anything latter.

The third option is toast at this point. The prospect has a prior 
important engagement at our meeting time. He has put out a tweet asking 
for someone to reuse his slides for us. If you are PySpark-literate, you 
could respond to @tdhopper. I would pick them up, but I'm dealing with 
some distracting health issues at present. I'll be at the meeting, but 
not at 100 percent.

We might be having out first all lightning talk meeting in a long time, 
so sharpen your swords. That' not necessarily a bad thing, because some 
of our best meetings have been of the all lightning talk variety. I 
would love to get Luke Campagnola on deck with his lightning talk from 
SciPy Conference a couple of seeks ago. I was the best lightning talk of 
the conference.

I will make the obligatory sell for Google AppEngine, which I used
personally to develop PyAlgoViz <http://pyalgoviz.appspot.com> before
joining Google and when I was still objective. Very easy to use if you
can/want to bring your own editor/IDE. I found the experience very
pleasant, scalable hosting plans, etc.

As you indicate you are not a full-time coder, I would strongly suggest you
take a look at codeenvy <https://codenvy.com/>. It specializes in offering
an easy to use, hosted IDE where you can choose your hosting provider
later. I tried this out with my teenage son and he picked it up in no time.
Simple learning curve.

Subject: [TriPython] setlocale warning on Popen
Message-ID: <CA+WDQbGX=m6aiXn4fxZ0QECSmEaE98ohUcNdOisscP=JLLbNkA@mail.gmail.com>

I'm shelling out in a daemon process (subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=PIPE,
stderr=PIPE)) to run tar, but we're getting this every time:
"/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US)"

Host OS is Ubuntu Precise. I have "encoding = 'utf-8'" in the site.py. But
I don't know what's causing it to want to call setlocale! I don't have any
os.environ variables that manipulate the locale settings, and I'm not
adding any via popen. Worst of all, we don't see this in any of our
non-production environments. It is just a warning, but it's annoying and I
want to figure it out. Any ideas?

Subject: [TriPython] Project Manager Position at Caktus Group
Message-ID: <CAG2P6nQd8Z6CDjuzHoB-aDPp7bcot0Y+uZekfVp_uHX5xDhJ2g@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Pythonistas,

It was great to see a few of you on Monday for the Durham Project Night. If
you enjoyed coming by the Caktus office maybe you think it would be fun to
work at the largest US-based Django consulting shop. We are currently
looking to add another project manager to our team:
https://www.caktusgroup.com/careers/#op-71967-project-manager

If you are interested or know someone that might be please apply. If you
have questions about the position or Caktus in general I would be happy to
answer them. Ping me on this email or my work address mlavin at caktusgroup.com

Best,

Mark Lavin
