    ...while preserving the shape. Original Monochrome Comment Flat or slightly gradient colors can easily be flood filled in graphic tools. Much of pattern filled, but a few elements left in for illustration of preserved outline. In a similar manner, PyCon Israel filled the interior with a design suggestive of local cactiform plants, and also added an adjacent visual element at top right. The PyCon Israel design is slightly wrong in that the darker green and darker blue outlines ar...

    ...while worrying about hitting performance snags. Java's JIT provides much better performance than Python when executing complex algorithms. The one problem that I see with Python is that there isn't a single dominant web application development framework / paradigm at the moment. However, we're pretty optimistic that TurboGears is going to become the long-term de facto standard for building web applications in Python, and Botonomy is currently building out consulting and training offerings around...

    ...While comp.lang.python had a flame war, several people volunteered. With A. Kuchling's and M. von Löwis' confirmation I am happy to say we have enough Roundup volunteers to go with it. We have also had an offer for professional Roundup hosting [from Upfront Systems, free of charge]. Either way I am going to announce on my blog that Roundup has been accepted, but wait until we decided between the pro hosting and us hosting it for an official announcement. Also waiting for last-minute volunteers...

  • Summary of "Extension Building" Session

    ...While the developer is toiling away, he will probably want a Makefile that knows about building Python modules and extension modules (especially the latter). Rather than writing his own, he can ask setup.py to generate one for him (presumably using the distutils.gen_make module): ./setup.py gen_make Then the developer can run make, make test, and so forth, just as he's probably used to doing (assuming he's an old-fashioned Unix weenie!). If he does...

    ...While it isn't necessary to have parent or guardian's signature it wouldn't hurt to do so on a belt-and-braces principle. He also mentioned that dealing with under 13s would make things much more bound by legality, which is probably why GHOP rules exclude them. S. Deibel asked: "Is Google requiring any parent signature or involvement?" S. Holden: [I] don't think Google are requiring that, no, but we can ask them to require completion of our contributor agreement (modified by adding ...

    ...while they slipped by possessions of the Trademarks committee Ram Rachum produced a dark background version of the Python logo that is nominative use, but reminded committee that it would be nice to provide stock versions of such dark background images. Arc Riley has expressed an intent to design copyright unrestricted version of font similar to the one used in our wordmark logo, which would be cool if it happens. Carl Trachte consulted committee to clarify use of Python logo in examples of SVG ...

    ...while we don't have a formal policy, we have always been against sponsoring events that are explicitly "beer and wine" sprints as this one was. We've worked with requestors in the past to be more welcoming, but this isn't explicit policy - perhaps we should pencil this in somewhere. 6   Trademark Committee Work Group RESOLVED, that the Trademark Committee shall be a working group of the Python Software Foundation, co-chaired by David Mertz and Marc-André Lemburg.

    ...while we developed our business model and website functionality. Naturally, we turned to the Open Source community for help running all of our development on inexpensive Dell laptops with RedHat Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP and Python software. Challenged to produce a system quickly and at a low cost we turned to Python to develop and test features and functionality for our website. Our programming team was already familiar with it and explained that Python had a reputation for being powerful whil...

    ...while Python 2.2.2 works happily with Python 2.2.1 or 2.2.0 byte code and extension modules, it will print warnings and may run into problems running against those compiled against Python 2.1.x or earlier. There are solid technical reasons behind this design choice, but it does require some additional work when packaging applications for distribution to users running different versions of Python. In the Wing IDE debugger, we solve the problem simply be storing separate directories for each inter...

    ...while grants for PyCon registration & travel are a compensatable expense with no tax due, awards may be taxable and the situation gets complex if the recipient isn't a US taxpayer. Points raised during the meeting: K. Kaiser: Grants are income, but whether they are USA taxable depends on where they are performed. Re awards: "Since the recipient didn't do anything to get the award, it might not be income. Consider the rules for gifts and also the rules for lottery winnings." We ca...
