Best aim for the stars. In any case, I wanted to start us off. I'm not
really clear on what a 'proposal' should contain as of now. We should trim
down the aims though.

I'm not sure if any of the other python groups in India are planning a
conference, if so, I think we should talk with them to decide the venue. If
not, we can (atleast this year) hold it in BAngalore somewhere.

I think it should not become a "Newbies only" thing. People who have been
hacking python for a long time should have good reason to come as well as
the newbie.

*Dedicated* meaning that we're not planing to be part of a larger event like
foss.in. *Conference* meaning that we have a structure and some formality as
opposed to barcamp.

Youre' right. We should try to keep the costs low. I however don't want to
miss anything which we want and hence went for a rather over the board
proposal (as you've noted). Let's work on trimming it down.

The PyCon (US) used to accept everyone, including newbies; sometimes
non-coders also coming as speakers.  They have tutorials targeting
non-hard-core programmers.  Remember, Python is a language which can be
learned within one month (or one week ? ;)

Re: [BangPypers] PyCon India Proposal

2009-02-27 Thread Ramdas S
You can start by announcing it in

1) All User Groups -- like django, TG, Pylons, etc. There are a few hundred
user groups.. It is viral.

2) Bloggers can start blogging about it.

3) We can have a few magazines as Media sponsors. We can get the ads
bartered.

4) Target LUGs. There are lots of Python fans there.

5) Get a few high profile bloggers in India and abroad to write about it.
Personal requests will help.

6) Its extremely important to get the big cos which has some interest in
Python involved. say Google. They can help evangelizing the conference.

7) If we are officially Pycon India, then don't worry, there will be
automatic links out of most Python related sites. You can bet that anyone
who's interested in Python will be visiting one such places in the next 5-6
months.

All the above steps will give you 99% of the target audience.

I think all these activities will cost absolutely nothing expect some
efforts from your home/office in your spare time.

Frankly, I dislike going this way. For one, it spreads energies
and barcamp is definitely an unconference. I think the first PyCon
India, if it ever happens should be a regular conference.

Let us not confuse ourselves right from the start. Barcamp
is barcamp, not pycamp, period.


No I am just updating the back references for benefit of new members.

I agree that a conference should be a conference. 

This years Pycon is a nine day event with tutorials and development sprints. 

I am OK even with a 2 day event, since its the first time around, with a third 
day for options such as sprints, BOFs or tutorials

Updated this with a "Community Discussion" section. Please enter
individual comments there, so that we don't modify the main body.
Later on we can integrate to the main proposal if required.

I think if this has to work, a group has to produce something like
a formal proposal on what the conference is about. A writeup on
the goals and agenda of the proposed conference is essential
for approaching sponsors.

Nope. Perhaps my statement was confusing. I am in no way
allergic to barcamp. I think it is a great concept and it works very
well too. What I was suggesting was that we should not be bringing
up barcamp everytime one suggests PyCon India. We can definitely
discuss Python in barcamp and have a BoF to even discuss
PyCon India ideas at Barcamp.

My point is that whenever a PyCon India happens, it has to
be physically a different entity from Barcamp. PyCon India
should have its own identity, so to speak.

I agree.

-1 for separate mailing list.

I have come to believe this process of natural evolution :-)

So along those lines, if we keep having the BangPypers meeting every
month for next couple of months, then we naturally are going to have a
PyCon India meetup.

What do you think?

And btw, it would be good if [pypers for pypers in states_of_india]
also come forward and pitch with their ideas and contributions as we
evolve.

ok. So we expect professionalism here. Which means that delegates would be 
motivated enough to pay for their travel and accommodation, and also pay a 
registration fee. Generally in India there is a class of person who only comes 
if travel, accommodation are looked after and if attendance is free. People 
should be able to find their own sponsors if they cannot afford it. 

Secondly, foreign conferences are usually planned at least a year in advance. 
Whereas we do things 2 months in advance. Here, given it is the first one and 
that it will not be very ambitious, I think 6 months is ok.

Through NRC-FOSS I have a fair amount of organisational resources at my 
command, But we are Chennai/Ooty based and hence need some one local also. If 
we can agree on these basics, we can go to the next stage. btw, it is 
premature to start a fresh mailing list or an organising committee at this 
stage. Lets keep it on this list - after all there isnt such a huge amount of 
traffic to be disrupted here.

+1 for the PyCon India. A 3 day event. I think its high time!

If not a Conference or a Track within barcamp, which is next weekend (March
7 and 8) at Yahoo EGL campus, I think we could do with a few more technical
sessions of Python. The event this time around is a technology focussed
event and many sessions are regisetered even related to python, web
frameworks, django etc. I think some people of this list register sessions
on things like Py3k porting, Py internals, for instance.

Obviously, it'd be pointless to call a track in Barcamp -- PyCon or PyCamp.
Why not use the Barcamp track just for kicking up some dust about PyCamp and
PyCon ? Unless one is strongly allergic to Barcamp in general, the show of
hands in such a track, could be a good measure of what participation one may
expect (from Bangalore) in PyCon-India, when it happens.

[BangPypers] PyCon India Proposal

2009-02-27 Thread Ramakrishna Reddy
Hi Folks

I have put up a small wiki page for a PyCon India.
http://wiki.python.org/moin/ProposalForPyConIndia . Please feel free
to share your ideas on the wiki. though we can thoroughly discuss the
possibility of the conference dates, agenda, etc in this mailling list
or have meetings on the #BangPypers on irc.freenode.org . I'll write a
mail to David Goodger of PSF expressing the idea for an Indian edition
of the conference. and for using the PyCon title for the Indian
version of it. Hopefully we can pull of an event this year or early
next year.

regards

I was just about to suggest holding a Python-track within BCB8, when I saw
this post.

BCB8 is happening in Yahoo premisis... and the "unconference" atmosphere
rocks, unless one is a big-fan of the IEEE and ACM style "bow-tie & tuxedo"
conferences (ps> I know that IEEE and ACM conferences are not "bow-tie &
tuxedo" type, just to make a point about the "open", "unstructured",
"flexible" style of information exchange).

This could very well be run as BoF, and people get to enjoy the other BCB
tracks like "dating", "rubicks cube", "martial arts" etc. :-)

No I am just updating the back references for benefit of new members.

I agree that a conference should be a conference.

This years Pycon is a nine day event with tutorials and development sprints.


I am OK even with a 2 day event, since its the first time around, with a
third day for options such as sprints, BOFs or tutorials

Can you find out whether there are any obligations we may have for using

PyCon India should be just what it is and not be piggybacking (If I
may use that term?) on Barcamp.

Frankly, I dislike going this way. For one, it spreads energies
and barcamp is definitely an unconference. I think the first PyCon
India, if it ever happens should be a regular conference.

You mean plan for a Sep 09 conference, or Sep 10 ?

And shouldn't we form the mandatory top-level conference
committee of supreme overlords who will have absolute oversight
on everything ?

Btw, we would also need a BDFL also, where "B" stands for
"Benevolent" not "Benefactor", as it seems to do in some
cases. Kenneth, why don't you take the lead here :)

Ok, I guess I had enough fun... I really think we should
form a plan for this. As a first step I suggest forming a mailing
list to discuss only this topic and get Jeff Rush into the conspiracy.
I would request Jeff to create a Pycon India discussion mailing
list on Python.org if it sounds good to others.

Last time when we tried which was 2 years back, we actually had three to
four sponsors willing to cough up something like 10-20 K each which was
pretty good to organize a single day event.

If I remember to do an event in Bangalore at St Joseph College Auditorium,
our budget was around 40-50 K which included a CD and T Shirt each for
approx 200 participants.

We even planned to charge a delegate fee of Rs 99/ which would have covered
lunch and refreshments, plus housekeeping charges.

Things fizzled out since few were willing to volunteer beyond a point. What
we require is some legs (young and old) to run around.

Btw the Barcamp guys had offered to actually host a Python conference within
their unconference. So that could also be a start. Someone need to hook up

+1  for this (for long time, it must be now carrying interest).
We have mooted this idea here and even tried to pull one
but I guess the planning was not good.

I think a conference where everything down from concept,
planning, motives and finances were open and not
controlled by a secret cabal is what we want.  It should
be for developers, but for anyone who has even written
only one line of code in Python.  Still, it should not be
too generic so that it becomes an unconference.

Also, we will accept all fruits and vegetables,
including high and low hanging, not just people making
omlettes ;)

I think, if we can get a discussion going around this topic,
we can form ideas concrete enough to organize
PyCon India at least in 2010.

A PyCon in India would be really good. It could serve as the starting point
for a bunch of amateurs like me (who have used it mostly as a scripting
language) to explore how Python is used in more large-scale applications.

 +1. Lets have a PyCon India, on a the similar lines of Pycon,
community run.  Nothing big and fancy, but proper Developer | System
Administrator | user mini conference or a Python Activity Day.
Sometime later this year. I personally would not prefer fsck.in. Not
everone is a developer :P but with python you can become one in a few
hours. I still believe there is lot we can do in order to spread
python . Over past few years I have seen Ruby. Rails as a framework
picking up only with the hype around the technologies.

Dammit! I am desperately looking for a "real"
FOSS conference in India run by people who
actually contribute to FOSS without being eggheads
or making omlettes ! ;-)

I skip fsck.in, missed freed.in and it seems osidays
are for suits.  So where am I placed ?

Anyone going for this conference (Mar 12-14)
at Chennai ?

This used to be called LinuxAsia and had
the reputation of a conference for "suits".
Not sure how it is now.

There seems to a track for FOSS languages
the first day.

Let me know if someone is going (from Bangalore)
for this.

Re: [BangPypers] Do we have any NetBeans IDE for Python users here?

2009-02-27 Thread Banibrata Dutta
Having not done any worth-mention active coding in past 2years, this is what
I write from memory :-)

OO Modelling and Visual Development, especially in terms of "free" UML
modelling support, in Netbeans 6.0/6.1 was far better than what was
available 'back-then' with Eclipse (I am talking of "free" tools). Also,
IMHO (and I know wars have started on such topics), from a initial
instialltion, download, deployment standpoing, the tight-packed Netbeans was
a bit easier to manage than Eclipse. However, my use of Eclipse and
Netbeans, and evaluation there-of, was for Java development.

For Python development (slight hobby, foo-bar programming), I've found
PyScripter (on Windows) to suffice in all respects, but a brief fling with
WingIDE showed that you can get that Eclipse mulitple-small window, multi
perspective 'type' features. I'm of the genre that likes their window
real-estate covered with multiple apps, and not 1 app hogging everything
micro-inch of screen space, so PyScripter, or Vim/Shell are what works for
me -- but then, it's enough for what I do.

I am not sure how to do it in an IDE (for the fact I never used anything 
other than Emacs) but you should still be able to make use of pdb. It 
might not be as good as break point function you are looking for, but 
yes it allows you to step through the code (from the point you call 
pdb.set_trace()) in an web app. I have used it with Django and Pylons.

[BangPypers] Turbogears Pydev debugging in Eclipse

2009-02-27 Thread Harpreet Singh

Hi,

I come from the .Net/visual studio environment and i am pretty new to the 
Turbogears 1.0.4.4 and/or python world.

I would like to know if pydev in Eclipse 3.2 supports breakpoint debugging of a 
Turbogears web application? 

If yes, this would mean setting a break point in the .py file and doing a step 
through/step into of the code, while the web page is displayed in the browser. 
Am i correct?

I have tried the work around mentioned in the pydev 
blog(http://pydev.blogspot.com/2006/07/configuring-pydev-to-work-with.html) 
i.e. patching the DecoratorTools-1.7-py2.4.egg but could not achieve what i 
think should be supported.

Is there a way to set it up?

 

Thanks,

Harpreet

While we are at the discussion about Py IDEs,

May I suggest an awesome thread on stackoverflow, discussing about Python
IDEs.

Here is my 2 cents to that thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/81584/what-ide-to-use-for-python/495355#495355

For all professional python developers, I think Wing IDE is simply the
choice, because it is the best IDE out there.

Reminds me of XKCD: http://xkcd.com/378/

That's great! I had recently seen the mention of NETBEANS at
http://wiki.python.org Editors list and it stayed in my mind. Nice
that we have another editor for Python.

I shall definitely give it a try and let you/group know the comments.
I am sure, other members will give it a try too. :)

[BangPypers] IDEs Presentation (was Re: Do we have any NetBeans IDE for Python users here?)

2009-02-27 Thread Noufal Ibrahim
A little unrelated but nevertheless

There was (and is) interest expressed in knowing about editing setups (
http://wiki.python.org/moin/BangPypers/PresentationTopics).

Since you're actively involved in developing IDEs and plugins, I think it
would be great if you could volunteer a presentation on the topic for the
next Bang Pypers meeting.

That is the exact reason I asked the BangPypers.

I know and use Python in some of my scripts, for fun & learning,
articles and foo bar tasks.. But I don't Python for a living or even a
full time hobby.  So, my experience with other IDE's is merely having
a 10 min or so look.. The largest Python program was a partially
complete - Approximate Reasoning software-  was pretty large but I
managed to manage it via IDLE. That was 1.5 years ago..So, my
experience with IDEs is pretty limited..

Your opinions will help me - and the other developers in the Python
support for NetBeans, to shape up the future..


Best,
Amit

Yup, may be I tried not with w.r.t Python, but for C++ and I am not
really sure. I had got the DVD via postal mail or at FOSS.in
conference.  Yeah, It could be for C++ and noticing that Python plugin
was not there, I went for Eclipse.

Good work Amit on the Docs. I glanced through it and it looks promising.

As you have already seem to know NETBEANS, can you help us by
illustrating some of the main differences whichs NETBEANS has (which
pydev or any other other IDE (Komodo, Wingware)) does not have?

It might be good to post to documentations pages as well.

Re: [BangPypers] Pydev 1.4.4 Released

2009-02-27 Thread Senthil Kumaran
BTW Praveen,

Thanks for "Forwarding" the release emails. It does help the people at
times to get to know whats released.
My suggestion is that when you are forwarding, just ensure that it is
a forward and attributed to the correct From: address.   Otherwise
folks might get thinking that you are churning out so many releases.
:)

*Long* time ago ?

Python Plugins for NETBEANS is already available.

http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeansPythonTutorial


I had tried netbeans long time ago and I felt it was similar to
Eclipse. I could not get myself used to both.  :)
In case you try Eclipse, a good support for python is available with
pydev plugin for Eclipse.
