Re: [python-uk] Off-topic: TeX Office Hours (and Python)

Hi Gab Thank you for your interest. I had a look at the tex.sx link (which I think I've seen before). The problem is dependency management - TeX Live is so big. Related is running TeX in a serverless setting. For that see https://github.com/samoconnor/lambdalatex By the way, the tex-live list did

[python-uk] Off-topic: TeX Office Hours (and Python)

Hi The UK TeX Users Group is close to folding. This is sad. It is a closed (paid membership only) organisation. I think it's time for an open to all UK TeX grouping. To help set this up, I'm holding a TeX Office Hour every Thursday 6:30 to 7:30pm, until the end of March. https://jfine2358.github

Hi Asad Here's a method I find useful. It is to start with the easiest problem you can't solve. Your problem is > I would like to do a rpm version check between the two list (list1 and list2) > so it only prints the rpm from list1 which are not installed and version > available in list2 is high

Re: [python-uk] Benevolent Dictator On Permanent Vacation

Hi Thank you, Peter, for bringing this to our attention. I've spent about 10 minutes reading through the thread started by Guido's announcement, and also his plea for patience regarding PEP 572. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2018-July/thread.html I think one of the best ways

Re: [python-uk] Fwd: [PSF-Community] Python Software Foundation Survey

Hi I've just completed the survey. It took a couple of minutes. I hope my answers are useful. I think Jon Ribbens has been a bit hard on the survey (which however does have faults). Creating and running surveys is hard, so credit to the PSF for giving it a go. Jonathan On Tue, Jul 3, 2018 at 1:

Re: [python-uk] Trip to Bletchley Park

I'm interested, and live locally, so I can cycle there. Bletchley Park is walking distance from Bletchley rail station, so it's much better to get a train to there than to Milton Keynes Central. By the way, Bletchley Park was chosen in part because of its closeness to the rail station, and to GPO
