Hello, The meetup started with Shreyas setting the context. He gave a short presentation on what a meet-up is, and what is it not, and what to expect. After that we went in for the talks.
The first talk was *Environment for a Python Dev* by Dinesh Kumar <http://www.meetup.com/Chennaipy/members/161180472/> He talked about setting-up and using a working environment for python development using various tools an libraries. He covered the following: - How code with `print` could break in Python 3, *pyenv shell* can help change python versions. And how it also helps with library dependencies. - How provisioning tools like *Ansible* can be used along with pyenv to help setup project dependencies. - On how to do build and tests, and use tests as documentation - On choices for linters and style checkers: *Pylink*, *Pep8*, *pyflakes* - And about how to use PYVERBOSE The second talk was on *Algorithmic analysis and Time complexity in Python* by Ashok Govindarajan <http://www.meetup.com/Chennaipy/members/197137280/> This talk was about: - Measuring the execution time of algorithms in Python - simple addition program - Big O Notation - Time complexity of Python Operations. Slides here: https://www.slideshare.net/secret/qA2HuxRkemDYgg Then we all stepped out for a coffee break. The next talk was on *Debugging the easy way with python debugger* by Gaurav Sehrawat <http://www.meetup.com/Chennaipy/members/73333582/> This talk covered the essentials of using *pdb* - the Python debugger. It went into various ways of invoking pdb, and a more sophisticated alternative called *pdgpp*. The speaker also went into a demo of the debugging session using an encryption program. After that we had a few lightening talks: 1. Venkatesh talked about an attendance management system he had worked on 2. Sharmila talked about additions to environment using the Conda project. 3. Shreyas talked about tech-communitiy's behaviour towards open source leaders. With that, and a group photo, the meet-up came to an end. Regards, Abhishek
