Twenty Second Meeting, Tuesday January 8, 2008

Again, a few new people showed up. Mike Mueller gave a presentation about the use of Python for a coupled simulation model. The following look at the model's source code triggered an interesting discussion about coding styles. The Python newbees were introduced to PEP8. But also the ones that use Python for longer could learn something new.

The next meeting will be on February 12th, 2008.

Maik Derstappen will give a persentation about Plone.

Thirty First Meeting, Tuesday October 14, 2008

The question if doctest works properly with unicode was the central point of our discussion. After an extensive search, we found out that doc strings are just ordinary Python strings. Therefore, contained back slashes have to be escaped or the whole doc string has to be a raw string. Group intelligence at work.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, November 11, 2008.

Thirty Second Meeting, Tuesday November 11, 2008

The Programming competition of German LINUX Magazin provided lots to talked about. Python was the most frequent language among the sent in solutions. Number of lines and run times favorably compare with the solutions in other languages. The comparison with languages such as Perl, Ocaml, Haskell or ruby was really interesting.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, December 11, 2008. The topic is "Generators in Python as unix-like pipelines".

Thirty Third Meeting, Tuesday December 9, 2008

Our topic was "Generators in Python as unix-like pipelines". Chaining several generators yields a special programming style. At some point we had the impression to use a language different from Python. Used in the right way, generators can have advantages especially for large amounts of data.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, January 13, 2009.
