Re: [python-uk] Matplotlib show() doesn't display on OS X

Are you sure it's not gone behind your other windows? This is what seems to 
happen by default on OS X with matplotlib.

Subject: [python-uk] Matplotlib show() doesn't display on OS X

I ran this simple script taken from a book:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

squares = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
plt.plot(squares)
plt.show()


... but although the script runs without error it doesn't display
anything, doesn't terminate and is unresponsive to either Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D.

You must then manually edit the To: field.

Furthermore: Outlook's "recall this message" will not work, rather it will send

third time's a 
charm?

You have been warned!

As people have mentioned, the consensus that I've seen is that posting a
job ad is fine so long as it's not recruiter spam.

Of course, recruiters advertising for a specific job with an appropriate
level of detail about the job in question (location, salary, expectation
of role, desired skills and experience, information about what the
company does) is also fine.

What is recruiter spam? How about, "exciting opportunity for Python
ninja in green-field project at one of London's most exciting employers"
is, IMHO, NOT welcome. It's just meaningless noise and probably
recruitment phishing.

Hope this helps,

N.

Personally, I've preferred Circle over Travis purely on the basis that you can 
SSH into the build, which makes things much easier if you want to diagnose why 
something hasn't worked.

Once again, the volume of discussion on whether recruitment emails are

on this list

It wasn't spam. We have discussed several times whether recruitment messages 
are welcome here. To date, we've not come to any consensus that they are not.

This is rudeness bordering on abuse, and it's definitely not acceptable on this 
email list.

[python-uk] Southampton Python User Group - Talk on Thursday 2nd March

[Pepper R .]

Hi all,

The next Southampton Python User Group meeting will be next Thursday with a
talk about using Cython to increase Python code performance.

When: 6pm, Thursday 2nd March
Where: Room 1007, Building 58, University of
Southampton.

I’ll talk about using Cython, and will give a quick overview of features, 
potential
pitfalls and will show a few real world examples of how it can make a
big difference, particularly in scientific applications.

After the talk there will be a chance to give 5 minute lightning talks
- the suggested theme next week is on code performance in Python –
some suggested ideas could be:

· The use of Numba to speed up code

· Multiprocessing module


If you'd like to give a brief talk, please let me know!

Refreshments will be provided, and we'll go to a nearby pub afterwards
for drinks and food.

Best wishes,

Ryan

Cython is a superset of the Python language, aiming to provide greater 
performance in the CPython implementation of the language. This is achieved by 
user given type annotations, and explicit disabling of language features in 
order to provide greater speed where this is critical in applications. Code is 
transformed using the Cython compiler, which generates C code; this is then 
compiled with a C compiler into a library, which can then be imported by Python 
as with any other module. In addition, C (and in simple cases C++) code can be 
used directly from Cython through the use of source and header files; this is 
particularly useful in scientific computing when wanting to call functions from 
an external library.

In this talk I'll give a quick overview of the features, common use cases, 
potential pitfalls and show a few real-world type examples.
