If you're in London around 6.30pm this Thursday evening, July 5th 2007, you might want to drop in on The Institution of Engineering and Technology [1] on the Embankment near Waterloo Bridge [2] for "A Light byte of Python" [3]. Michael Grazebrook, Pete Ryland and I are flying the Python flag for the benefit of technologists who have not yet had the pleasure. Michael will be using ctypes to control a USB-interfaced sensor kit; Pete will be demoing user interfaces; I'll be using BeautifulSoup and sqlite3 to populate a database from a web page and (time permitting) using csv and ReportLab to push it back out again.
We're presenting the thing as a bring-a-laptop workshop, and it would be great if we had experienced Pythoneers along to help afterwards (in addition to ourselves). The take-up's been quite high for the event and there's tea & coffee beforehand and sandwiches afterwards.
