What is Kivy? Where does it run? ? Kivy programming in Python plus The Kivy Language ? Installing ? Layouts ? Widgets, Properties, Events, Event Handlers, ? Buildozer - Creating Android apps ? Android Emulators ? Kivy Launcher ? Garden ? user contributed modules ? Communicating with the Kivy Team ? Documentation caveats ? Helpful Links ? Contributing Bob Gailer is a programmer, application developer, and adult education teacher with experience in many languages, platforms, application development systems including Python since 1995. Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration are also welcome and don't need to be pre-announced. Lightning talks are for you to "show and tell" something you've learned about Python recently, no matter how small. We all use Python, therefore, we are always learning something new about Python that we can tell others. Plenty of free parking is available in the RENCI parking deck. The meeting will be followed by our usual after-meeting at a nearby tavern for food and beverage. Come join us for a fun and informative evening. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway Applications Analyst University of North Carolina Renaissance Computing Institute (919) 599-3530 From cbc at unc.edu Thu Apr 6 09:58:47 2017 From: cbc at unc.edu (Calloway, Chris) Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2017 13:58:47 +0000 Subject: [TriPython] Humble Python Book Bundle Message-ID: <58002B70-6F12-4B28-98F9-7DB7DEA9002F@unc.edu> Recommended.

I used PDFMiner in the test portion of a project and I wrote some code to make its output less raw. The code I wrote is open source, so you could use it too. The project was a registration system for the Libyan national election, so there's some bits in the code specific to handling Arabic. The code is here: https://github.com/SmartElect/SmartElect/blob/develop/rollgen/tests/utils_for_tests.py The three functions you?d use are extract_pdf_page(), extract_textlines(), and maybe clean_textlines(), like so: >>> xml = extract_pdf_page('a_filename.pdf', 1) >>> lines = extract_textlines(xml) >>> lines = clean_textlines(lines) You can see examples of how I used these functions here: https://github.com/SmartElect/SmartElect/blob/develop/rollgen/tests/test_generate_pdf.py Hope this helps Philip From jeremyhwllc at gmail.com Tue Apr 11 11:18:24 2017 From: jeremyhwllc at gmail.com (Jeremy Davis) Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 11:18:24 -0400 Subject: [TriPython] TriLUG-13 Apr: How to Deploy Python Applications using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and CloudFront Message-ID: Brian Jinwright is a Senior Software Engineer and resident AWS wizard at MetaMetrics, of Durham, NC where he has deployed various serverless django applications for production in AWS such as the company's homepage: metametricsinc.com.

But we are having a change of room for the meeting. Out usual glorious conference room was double-booked. Fortunately the UNC Institute for the Environment on the 4th floor of the same building is lending us another conference room that is a bit more intimate but large enough for all our RSVPs. We?re meeting in suite 490 or the same building which houses RENCI. When walking in the front doors from the parking deck, head for the elevators on the right side of the building, Take it to the 4th floor. When stepping off the elevator, turn to you left and enter the double doors of the Institute for the Environment. Inside the institute, turn left down the hall and the conference room is down the hall on the left. There?s some signage about the situation around posted by one of my wonderful coworkers. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway Applications Analyst University of North Carolina Renaissance Computing Institute (919) 599-3530 On 4/26/17, 10:20 AM, "TriZPUG on behalf of Calloway, Chris" wrote: http://tripython.org/Members/cbc/apr-17-mtg When: Thursday April 27, 7-9pm Where: Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) Biltmore Conference Room, 5th Floor 100 Europa Drive, Suite 590 Chapel Hill What: Bob Gailer will present Kivy: ?

Message-ID: I was very pleased with the meeting and the positive reception given by the attendees. The room was packed. Every seat was filled. There was lots of expression of appreciation for my presentation. Thank you Chris for accepting my talk proposal and the work you did to help get me set up and comfortable. Thanks to Cole Dickens of RENSI for excellent tech support in getting the video the way I wanted it. I am glad to answer questions and help in other ways. I realized after the fact that I did not give my contact information, so here it is: Bob Gailer mailto: bgailer at gmail.com phone: 919-636-4239 Chris mentioned my marimba ensemble. Here is a video of a similar ensemble playing the same music we do: it is based primarily on the native music of Zimbabwe. My group unfortunately does not have any good videos. We are seeking new players; if your interest is sparked, or you know someone who might be a candidate, let me know. Or else just enjoy the music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPlGxAFS66k From ken at mack-z.com Sat Apr 29 08:01:33 2017 From: ken at mack-z.com (Ken MacKenzie) Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2017 08:01:33 -0400 Subject: [TriPython] Fwd: Python training for development staff In-Reply-To: <20170429115800.GA28243@localhost> References: <20170429115800.GA28243@localhost> Message-ID: ====resending from the right address for this list==== So I work for an organization that for the most part majority of the developers have spent the past year working only in a proprietary form of basic from the vendor of our main tool set.

A bunch of people I work with needed to be cross-trained to python, and their course "/Complete Python Bootcamp: Go from zero to hero in Python/" by Jose Portilla. This course came highly recommended by others who took it, and the instructor's style makes it much easier to stick with the course than some others I have run into at Coursera or Sitepoint. Even though I already knew a modicum of python at the time, this course taught me a lot I didn't know. Check into the link: https://www.udemy.com/complete-python-bootcamp/ You can look at the reviews of the course, the reviews of the instructor, and google both because there are reviews on other forums as well. Also check the syllabus for the course. Your question has come very timely, because for a short time they are putting the $195 course on a 48-hour introductory sale for $10, along quite a number of UDemy courses (one day left). I like UDemy and have now taken a number of their courses -- but I never pay the full price. I always wait for a big sale, usually around $15 or $20 per course. Last Black Friday I got 10 courses for $15 each. A lot of times the sale price is around $35. I'm still using up my 10 courses, but this is such a great sale I may sign up for a couple more (I need to work on my minuscule web development expertise as well as my Javascript knowledge). - sgh On 04/29/2017 08:01 AM, Ken MacKenzie wrote: > ====resending from the right address for this list==== > > So I work for an organization that for the most part majority of the > developers have spent the past year working only in a proprietary form > of basic from the vendor of our main tool set. > > So in comes a new VP and he is wanting to get people up to speed > technology the industry actually uses.

Also I know there are a group of our programmers that will only like a training where they are in the room with the trainer, be it on site or they go to a facility. I can only appreciate in part that if some of them are trying to do an online class at their desk someone will try to derail them from the class bringing things to their door. Nothing against your suggestion because it is a good one. I just know the culture and nature of some of the staff. It is hard enough for me to get because none of them over the years have cared to keep themselves current in case they need to find a job and consider it the jobs responsibility to train them not their own. That and every language I have learned since college has been a matter of give me the manual and I will figure it out. Most of my coworkers seem to not be of that type.
