The goal is to gather people interested in advanced python concepts that go beyond the language. We want to focus on environment, advanced programming techniques, useful libraries, and integration with a larger infrastructure (e.g. SQL databases, cloud, etc.).
The format is not strictly a presentation. While some slides may be used to introduce the topic, the idea is that we explore the topic, make mistakes, do experiments, read the code and the documentation. It is not a lesson. It is a shared tinkering and practice session.
- Bring your laptop with a working python 3.x installation.
- Any operating system is ok. Diversity on this front allows us to discuss platform differences. Linux, Windows, macOS are all welcome.
- A text editor or IDE. Vim, emacs, PyCharm, notepad++, Visual Studio...
- Jupyter environments are tailored for a different type of prototyping, and are therefore not well suited.
If you need assistance on any of the points above, let someone know and we'll be happy to help.
Be aware that, like every tinkering session, things can go wrong. Don't bring the laptop and python environment required for your Ph.D thesis presentation on the next morning.
Gatherings happen at 19:00 at the indicated dates. Meetings will last as long as they need, but expect around one or two hours of tinkering and discussion.
