This is a fascinating subject. Firstly:
a lot of people think that C (or C++) is faster than python, yes I agree,

if you look at raw execution speed, then this is absolutely correct. The

Having just gone through this, I would expect a python role of this nature
to be offered between £35-45 k DOE in London.
There are certainly candidates around who could satisfy all of the stated
requirements, but will be given competitive offers from other people
looking.

This seems redundant to me, the MyDecorator instance would not be bound to
anything, so you'll 'loose' the reference to it, except through the call to
decorator_method().
You could do this by making decorator_method a classmethod:
class MyDecorator(object):
@classmethod
def decorate_this
Technically, you don't have to worry about refcounts here.
evaluating 'AClass().method' results in a 'bound' method.
The method binding contains a reference to the instance, so internally, a
reference is always held. It does mean however that the AClass instance is
anonymous, there is no simple
a missing feature. However, I
feel that in practice, not allowing such syntax is 'a good thing' (tm)

To add a slightly different angle to this, whatever deployment solution you
use, make sure it is fully automated, and then hook it into you CI system.
Deployment, disaster recovery etc. are made so much simpler if you're
thinking about it from the start rather than just before release. One way

The Zope 'brand' got trashed back in the bad old days. If things have
truly improved, then the sensible thing to do would be to release the new
code in a way that has no obvious links to the name 'Zope', and let that

Another factor here, is that the current trend is towar

If a leader won last time, then people will be more likely to go for the

The (il-)logic of trying to apply copyright statements to an otherwise
empty file should be weighed against the effort of writing a syntax checker
that can ignore such files.
Generally, it's easier to script these things, so having a script that
blindly adds the copyright header to all python file
Its just started working for me.

When I try to run it, I get a hang too, in my case (there may be other
factors for you) what's happening is because of the openpty stuff.
In the parent process, you're creating two file handles, master and slave.
Subprocess then forks, meaning the child inherits them. At this point,
both the pare
So, I was running this in python2.7, hence the tracebacks and decoding
issues. However I think the blocking issue is still to do with not closing
the slave half of the pty from the parent process.

I'm currently looking for work, as my current employer is awful, and I

Hi
It's been pointed out that google searching for pycon uk takes you to a
site that talks about 2014.
This is a bit confusing, as it states early bird tickets are available from
1st March
Is anyone able to change this? Or remove the booking info?
Any updates on '15?
Thanks

Hi All
A few of us are setting up a community run, free to use (and advert free)

It's designed to be simple to post to (if you're into that sort of thing,
we use Github pull requests), easy to moderate, and strictly no agencies.

The rule we use for pythonjobs.github.io is that the advert has to name the
actual company the ad is for(not just an agency/broker). This was something
that Sal Fadhley suggested, IIRC.
This allows posts by agents, but tends to lead to more useful/informative
ads, and avoids the vague teasers that

The code's all in the repository! :)
We hook into the travis build system to do this, with some simple scripts.

as a github pages site. This

Hi Andy
We use travis to build the site. You can see the travis yaml file and build
scripts in our repo:
https://github.com/pythonjobs/jobs/blob/master/.travis.yml
The scripts are a bit more complex than they need to be because I
segregated the actual job .md files out from the rest of the site

Perhaps offenders could have their words replaced by the server with
suitably contrite Monty Python quotes.
I believe the Knights who say ni have a particularly apt vocabulary.

While recruitment emails don't bother me directly, the debates around
allowing them are getting quite repetitive.
My vote goes on a no job adverts policy. It's not clear to me that
enforcement will be difficult. Do we really think that the pyuk recruiters
will not honour this?

If it's who I think it is, then I'm not entirely surprised, this particular
implementation is quite taxing for python in particular, and they don't do
much in the way of catering to more modern languages in general (not a
criticism, but most problems/samples are stated in a very 'traditional' way
