I found this in my system, may be you are looking for this package:

$ apt-cache search opencv | grep python
python-opencv - Python bindings for the computer vision library

Using cloud based images, orchestration tools like Ansible, container
technologies like Docker all helps to make application deployment easier.
However, it's still complex compared to copying a single binary and running it.

Modern languages like Rust ( http://www.rust-lang.org/ ) & Go (
http://golang.org/ )
seems to produce statically linked binaries by default.

[Baiju M]

I would like to add one point about deployment of large and complex
applications written in Python. Deployment of these types of applications
are very difficult in Python. I would love to install single statically
linked binaries for deployment. Building these binaries should be very fact
also, say less than 1 minute. This is one of the reason I am getting
attracted to Golang :-)

If the protocol is HTTP, you can use mod_proxy_balancer:

Re: [BangPypers] CBSE to teach introduction to python in class 11 and 12

[Baiju M]

Hi Nithin,

That's a good work!

My idea about the website is to create content suitable for all kinds of
education
in India where Python is used.  Mostly the site will contains pointers to
other resources.
But we can also have self hosted content in the site.  The specific details
about the
site can be discussed in the tracker:
https://github.com/pythonindia/education/issues
Once Anand setup the domain, the site should be available here:
http://education.python.org.in/  As soon as we push the content to the git
repo,
the site will be automatically updated.  The site will be hosted at RTD:
https://readthedocs.org/

I will update the README.txt file with these details.

Let me know, if you have any other ideas.

+1 for this idea

I don't have much contact with government officials who works on education.
So, if anyone else can help here that would be great.

How about creating a website with resources for teachers and students?
BangPypers is one of the oldest Python community from India. So, I think it
would be great to do it as a community project. Anyone interested ?

[BangPypers] Today's BangPypers meetup at Servelots

[Baiju M]

Hi All,

We had a great time today at BangPypers meetup in Servelots.
There was 20+ attendees with many new faces.
I think, our meetup page and facebook pages are working out well.

Deepak presented Google App Engine with a hands-on session.
That was a great talk, he cleared many questions during
and after the presentation ( He will be sharing the slides online).

After Deepak's presentation, everyone introduced themselves.

Later Arvind presented Alipi (a re-narration framework),
that looks like a great idea.  Both presentations were very
interactive.

Thanks to Deepak & Aravind for presentations and Servelots for hosting
BangPypers meetup.

Regards,
Baiju M

Just few pointers:

1. You can use Jenkins with slaves and run selenium scripts remotely.
http://readthedocs.org/docs/selenium-python/en/latest/
http://jenkins-ci.org/

or

2. Use Grid2
   http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/Grid2
   Jenkins has a plugin for this:
   https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Selenium+Plugin

Re: [BangPypers] May Meetup

[Baiju M]

Hi All,

Yesterday we had BangPypers meeting at ZeOmega office.  There was 10 members
came for the meeting.  There was no specific agenda for the meeting,
we discussed
some general topics related to Python.

I demonstrated the installation of Salt ( http://saltstack.org/ ).
Salt is a remote
execution and configuration management tool.  For those who missed, here is the
screencast I created today for the installation of Salt in Windows:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeJByb-alz8

If you are interested to learn more about Salt, look at the excellent
documentation here:
http://salt.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

You can replace remote execution systems like Fabric & Capistrano with Salt.
Also you can replace configuration management systems like Puppet,
Chef & CFEngine.

I have tried Salt with
RHEL,CentOS,Debian,Ubuntu,Fedora,FreeBSD,Windows 2008 Server R2
and Windows XP.  For example, if you want to install Salt in a CentOS
machine, just run
these two commands:

  rpm -Uvh 
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-6.noarch.rpm
  yum install salt*

While talking about Salt, I also happened to demonstrate Jenkins
server I setup for the
same project ( http://jenkins.saltstack.org/ ).  Here is the
screencast I created sometimes
back for the same project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IRzPFYtyD4
This screencast walk through various code metrics available for Python like:
clonedigger, pep8, pyflakes, pylint & sloccount.

I used some old version. which doesn't have urllib3 as a dependency:
https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/tree/v0.7.6/requests/packages

May be I need to reconsider requests again.

However I noticed that, the requests documentation is not advertising
it is thread safe.

Sometimes features are very important.  I stared using requests for one
work, but later I found that it is not thread safe, then I switched to urllib3:

Selenium Webdriver Python API is easy to understand.  The API doesn't
force to do in one style,
because it's not a framework.  It gives freedom to choose your testing
tools like nose, py.test etc.

BTW, I have written some docs for using the default API;

Support for C extension is improving in PyPy.  Here is a small list
which is known to work with PyPy:
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/CCompatible

They have made progress on a complex C extension like wxPython:
http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2010/05/running-wxpython-on-top-of-pypy.html

Here is a big list of libraries/frameworks which works in PyPy:
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/Home

Now a days I prefer to use 'ctypes' based extensions, so that
it will work across CPython,PyPy,Jython & IronPython.

'!'  - Item is missing (e.g., you moved or deleted it without using
svn). This also indicates that a directory is incomplete (a checkout

It's not written by some "few", rather a long time maintainer of that project:

Look at these last commits (he even committed after the last release):
$ svn log --limit 100
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/quetzalcoatl/mod_python/trunk/ >

The last released code is actually more old (2006 end is last commit
with any bugfixes)
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/quetzalcoatl/mod_python/tags/release-3-3-1/NEWS?view=log
so, any useful commit happened  almost 5 years before.

FYI,
Apache has an official page to list dead projects:
http://attic.apache.org/
And the mod_python is listed there:

mod_python has been officially declared as dead.
And the code base is unmaintained for a long time (many years).

[BangPypers] Fwd: [pypy-dev] PyPy 1.5 released

[Baiju M]

Forwarding PyPy 1.5 release announcement.


-- Forwarded message --
From: Armin Rigo 
Date: Sat, Apr 30, 2011 at 8:34 PM
Subject: [pypy-dev] PyPy 1.5 released
To: PyPy Dev , python-announce-l...@python.org


==
PyPy 1.5: Catching Up
==

We're pleased to announce the 1.5 release of PyPy. This release updates
PyPy with the features of CPython 2.7.1, including the standard library. Thus
all the features of `CPython 2.6`_ and `CPython 2.7`_ are now supported. It
also contains additional performance improvements. You can download it here:

   http://pypy.org/download.html

What is PyPy?
=

PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
CPython 2.7.1. It's fast (`pypy 1.5 and cpython 2.6.2`_ performance comparison)
due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.

This release includes the features of CPython 2.6 and 2.7. It also includes a
large number of small improvements to the tracing JIT compiler. It supports
Intel machines running Linux 32/64 or Mac OS X.  Windows is beta (it roughly
works but a lot of small issues have not been fixed so far).  Windows 64 is
not yet supported.

Numerous speed achievements are described on `our blog`_. Normalized speed
charts comparing `pypy 1.5 and pypy 1.4`_ as well as `pypy 1.5 and cpython
2.6.2`_ are available on our benchmark website. The speed improvement over 1.4
seems to be around 25% on average.

More highlights
===

- The largest change in PyPy's tracing JIT is adding support for `loop invariant
 code motion`_, which was mostly done by Håkan Ardö. This feature improves the
 performance of tight loops doing numerical calculations.

- The CPython extension module API has been improved and now supports many more
 extensions. For information on which one are supported, please refer to our
 `compatibility wiki`_.

- These changes make it possible to support `Tkinter and IDLE`_.

- The `cProfile`_ profiler is now working with the JIT. However, it skews the
 performance in unstudied ways. Therefore it is not yet usable to analyze
 subtle performance problems (the same is true for CPython of course).

- There is an `external fork`_ which includes an RPython version of the
 ``postgresql``.  However, there are no prebuilt binaries for this.

- Our developer documentation was moved to Sphinx and cleaned up.
 (click 'Dev Site' on http://pypy.org/ .)

- and many small things :-)

Hi All,

Majority of the people are fine with Feb 12th (Saturday):
http://doodle.com/53iqx4gdu5fuzws7

So, we will have a regular meeting at 3 pm on that day.
If more people are interested we can have a sprint
otherwise we will go for normal discussions.

Can anyone from ThoughtWorks confirm the venue

I am interested to sprint more on the site.  In fact I am working
on it whenever I get time.  There are the new features I added after our sprint:

1. Atom feed
2. It is possible to add project not listed in PyPI

I am trying to wear a hat of UI designer also :)

I am planning to add tag (keyword/label) feature.  So that users can add
tags like: fedora15, ubuntu1104, django, pylons, macos etc.

Also I want start working the "feedback" script:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/feedback
This will provide a console script (setuptools based entry point)
which can be used to submit feedback directly from the
machine.  In order to accomplish this I and want
create a RESTful API: http://getpython3.net/api/1.0/newfeedback

Another functionality I want build is auto-detect the trove classifier
(Programming Language :: Python :: 3) and display it prominently,
see this page: http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&c=533&show=all

Yeah. I am getting more ideas like this :)
https://github.com/baijum/getpython3/issues

So, I am fine with one more sprint on this topic.

But for those who want to discuss something else, we should have another
meeting also.

It looks like majority of the people prefer Feb 12th (Saturday):
http://doodle.com/53iqx4gdu5fuzws7
We can finalize the date by next Tuesday (Feb 8th)
based on the majority preference.

Meanwhile let's discuss about the agenda for the meeting.
If you want to present something, please come forward.

These are the topics I am interested to listen:

1. Using MongoDB with Python
2. Python 3 porting experience
3. Using Jenkins/Hudson for continuous integration

Well, I cannot present on any of these topics :)

Is it possible to send mails with attachments to moderators,
so that they can decide whether to approve or not.
Otherwise we can enable attachment, may be upto some
size limit (I am not sure mailman support these kind of features).

This was a new experience for all of us.  I hope we can do
much bigger sprints in future.

I need two more SQL queries :)

-

One query is ready but need to convert it into SQLAlchmey.
Here is the query (it's working fine):

# select * from distributions inner join (select * from comments where
# comments.id in (select max(comments.id) as id from comments group by
# comments.distribution_id)) a on distributions.id = a.distribution_id
# order by a.datetime desc

(The above logic is to find the latest feedback without duplicate distribution
  names.  For example if a distribution has two recent feedback, I just
  need latest among those. And I need to get total 5 latest feedbacks)

-

For the second one, I have a rough query which is not working:

 select name,successcnt,failcnt from distributions d
 inner join
 (
 select  distribution_id,
 sum(case when check=true then 1 else 0 end) as successcnt,
 sum(case when chec=false then 1 else end ) as failcnt
 from
 comments where datetime between(currendate,currentdate-60)
 group by distribution_id) a on a.distribution_id =d.distribution_idn

The idea is to list the popular distributions.  The logic I required is
distributions with minimum 5 feedback and there should be atleast
two feedback recently (within 1 or 2 months).  The output should
give distro name, success count, failure count.

Again I need this in SQLAlchemy syntax.

[BangPypers] getpython.net Sprint (was Re: User group meeting)

[Baiju M]

Hi All,
Our mini sprint on getpython.net was moderately successful.
Thanks to all those who participated.  At 10 am there was no
one in the room except me.  Then I called some of my colleagues
to help on the work.  Rajesh, Srinivasu & Vijetha came to office.
Hareesh helped me with some SQL queries online.  Then Vijay
replied to SQLAlchemy related questions I posted to list.
Later Kunal joined in IRC and created a helper script to submit feedback.
Afternoon Noufal also joined us online and implemented Gravatar.
Thanks to all !

I am getting confident that we can have more sprints in future with wider scope.
Let's start new threads for the upcoming sprints!

The site is ready now: http://getpython3.net/

Looking forward to your feedback.  Still there are few more things to be done.
If you are interested, fork the project and make the modifications!

[BangPypers] convert a query to SQLAlchemy

[Baiju M]

Hi,

Can any one help me to convert this query to SQLAlchemy sytax ?

  select * from distributions inner join (select * from comments where
  comments.id in (select max(comments.id) as id from comments group by
  comments.distribution_id)) a on distributions.id = a.distribution_id
  order by a.datetime desc

The schema is here:
https://github.com/baijum/getpython3/blob/master/py3k/model.py
May be the query can be simplified.

It's look like there is no Python user group in Delhi.
http://wiki.python.org/moin/LocalUserGroups
But I know that there are many Python users from Delhi here.
Why don't you all start a user group in Delhi area.
See this page for more information:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/StartingYourUsersGroup

Some suggestions:
Once you start your online group, try for a meetup.
The meetup need be very crowded.  If one or two
of you can't go for a meeting, let others meet.
It's very difficult to find a convenient time for everyone.
Of course you can have multiple meetups
and the same people need to come for every meeting.

I remember, when I came to Bangalore for the first time, one of the
first thing I did was to find a Python user group and attend the meeting:
http://baijum81.livejournal.com/18372.html

So, whenever you move to other places, see whether a Python use group
is there or not. If there is none, start one !

Ok, that's fine.

I will be there at 10 am itself.  So far Noufal & Devjyoti has showed
interest.  If any anybody else want to join, please let me know.

We can definitely do more sprints in future.  Let's see how the first one goes.
Then, we will approach PSF for funding, at least we can
have some Biriyani :)

Re: [BangPypers] PSF Sprints - Call For Applications

[Baiju M]

Hello Brian,

Thanks for informing us about sprint sponsorship.  BangPypers
is going to organize a one day sprint for the first time next weekend
(30th Jan).
We are going to develop a site: http://getpython3.net/ similar to
http://isitruby19.com/ Two of us (Me & Noufal) has experience in participating
US PyCON sprints. I will discuss with other participants and let you
know if any sponsorship is required.  BTW, BangPypers is not a
registered organization
(legal entity), so I am not sure how the fund can be transferred.  May be we
can use the help of IPSS (Indian Python Software Society).

Yes, Sunday is fine with me.  I will talk to our management and arrange
a place where we can sit and write code.  We will start around 10 am
and then see how far it goes till the evening.  If it is just three or
four people,
we can do the sprint from my home also (Banashankari 2nd Stage).
Or you can suggest any other place, I have no problem to come.

So far just you and Noufal showed interest to come on Saturday.
Meanwhile go through the code base and familiarize the technologies
required: https://github.com/baijum/getpython3

As Venkatraman mentioned, PyPI has some API:

I am fine with Sunday also, I will call you later.  Let's see if anybody else
interested.

Now I am trying struggling with SQLAlchemy API to define the schema.

Well, I just started a new project: http://getpython3.net/ I want to
build something
like this site: http://isitruby19.com/ (with few extra links)

I am going to work on this tomorrow and next weekend.  Anyone interested
for a coding sprint this weekend ?  We can do it from my office.
The code is here. https://github.com/baijum/getpython3

Basically, this involves fetching many data from PyPI and populating the site.
Then provide a user form to submit comments and most importantly
whether the library/module is working for them in Python 3.

[BangPypers] Fwd: [TIP] Call for proposals -- PyCon 2011

[Baiju M]

-- Forwarded message --
From: Jesse Noller 
Date: Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 7:04 AM
Subject: [TIP] Call for proposals -- PyCon 2011
To: tip 


[I better see some rocking testing talks again this year! - jesse]


Call for proposals -- PyCon 2011 -- 
===

Proposal Due date: November 1st, 2010

PyCon is back! With a rocking new website, a great location and
more Python hackers and luminaries under one roof than you could
possibly shake a stick at. We've also added an "Extreme" talk
track this year - no introduction, no fluff - only the pure
technical meat!

PyCon 2011 will be held March 9th through the 17th, 2011 in Atlanta,
Georgia. (Home of some of the best southern food you can possibly
find on Earth!) The PyCon conference days will be March 11-13,
preceded by two tutorial days (March 9-10), and followed by four
days of development sprints (March 14-17).

PyCon 2011 is looking for proposals for the formal presentation
tracks (this includes "extreme talks"). A request for proposals for
poster sessions and tutorials will come separately.

Want to showcase your skills as a Python Hacker? Want to have
hundreds of people see your talk on the subject of your choice? Have
some hot button issue you think the community needs to address, or have
some package, code or project you simply love talking about? Want to
launch your master plan to take over the world with Python?

PyCon is your platform for getting the word out and teaching something
new to hundreds of people, face to face.

In the past, PyCon has had a broad range of presentations, from reports
on academic and commercial projects, tutorials on a broad range of
subjects, and case studies. All conference speakers are volunteers and
come from a myriad of backgrounds: some are new speakers, some have been
speaking for years. Everyone is welcome, so bring your passion and your
code! We've had some incredible past PyCons, and we're looking to you to
help us top them!

Online proposal submission is open now! Proposals  will be accepted
through November 10th, with acceptance notifications coming out by
January 20th. To get started, please see:

   

For videos of talks from previous years - check out:

   

For more information on "Extreme Talks" see:

   

We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta!

Please also note - registration for PyCon 2011 will also be capped at a
maximum of 1,500 delegates, including speakers. When registration opens
(soon), you're going to want to make sure you register early! Speakers
with accepted talks will have a guaranteed slot.

Important Dates:
   * November 1st, 2010: Talk proposals due.
   * December 15th, 2010: Acceptance emails sent.
   * January 19th, 2010: Early bird registration closes.
   * March 9-10th, 2011: Tutorial days at PyCon.
   * March 11-13th, 2011: PyCon main conference.
   * March 14-17th, 2011: PyCon sprints days.
