[python-uk] Announcing the next London Python Code Dojo 9th September 2010
Folks, "Season 2" of the London Python Code Dojo will start at 6:30pm on Thursday 9th September 2010 at the offices of Fry-IT (address at the bottom). Please note this *isn't* the first Thursday of September (as expected) - I managed to get all sorts of dates muddled up hence the move to the 9th September. To make this absolutely clear: the dojo will *NOT* take place on the 2nd September as one might have expected, but *WILL* take place on the 9TH OF SEPTEMBER (a week later). To sign up (there are 30 places) please go to: http://ldnpydojo.eventwax.com/london-python-code-dojo-season-2-episode-1 This will be the first anniversary of the dojo. Thanks Fry-IT and O'Reilly for the support! I'll see if I can get my hands on a birthday cake... :-) We'll decide what problem we'll solve using the traditional "whiteboard -> vote" method. It'll be a good idea to spend some time planing the rest of the year too - activities, talks, projects and such like. Pizza and beer kicks off at 6:30, coding at 7:30. This month's "prize" is the O'Reilly book "Programming Google App Engine". Nearest Tubes: Waterloo Southwark Address: Fry-IT Limited 503 Enterprise House 1/2 Hatfields London SE1 9PG Telephone: 0207 0968800 Map: http://bit.ly/csvi94 See you there!

[python-uk] Python comparison matrix
I've finally updated and expanded a Python matrix I started just after PyCon UK 2008. It compares Python versions 1.5 - 3.1 with the built-ins, modules, keywords and features each implements. You can see it at http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AsSu6wxSusr7cEEwQ0xzZW9wUHFTeldXRW4wRU91QkE&hl=en_GB&output=html I've sourced it mainly form the on line documentation, currently only CPython is properly covered. Before I go further, I'd like to get some feedback. Would this be of much use to you? What else would you like to see in such a document? Would you like to help out?

Re: [python-uk] Python comparison matrix
Wow. With command-line and platforms and features! You've not skimped, have you? Impressive. Nice work. I'd have been tempted to try and auto-generate (parts of) it, but I don't know how rational that decision would have been. Did you consider that, and figure it was simply less work to get stuck in manually?

I've (post) rationalised it thus: (1) I want to reflect want's documented, over implementation/platform specific quirks (e.g. WindowsError) and (2) getting all those versions compiled, running and communicating with something automated might have taken far longer. I'll be _very_ happy if someone proves me wrong though. -- Alex Willmer http://moreati.org.uk/blog ___ python-uk mailing list python-uk@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk
