Hi everyone!

We're looking forward to our first meeting for 2020 of the Melbourne Python
user group tonight, Monday 3rd February. Do come and join us! We have these
three talks planned:


*1. David Andersson: Recent developments in OpenAlchemy*
David will give an update on recent developments in his OpenAlchemy package
(recently renamed), which automatically translates OpenAPI schemas to
SQLAlchemy database models.


*2. Henry Walshaw: How fast is FastAPI?: continuing the grand tradition of
random pet photos*
FastAPI is a Python web framework designed to make the creation of an API
as simple as possible and to be as high performance as possible using ASGI
(async service gateway interface - a “spiritual successor” to WSGI). Among
its other claims FastAPI allows easy definition of an API, handing of data
definitions through pydantic and Python’s type annotations, automatic
swagger documentation generation, takes advantage of asynchronous
operations to reduce server load, and easy deployment on top of Uvicorn.

We’ll put this to the test in creating a new API in the best traditions of
the dog photo API to get back random photos from a trip to Melbourne Zoo.
We’ll take a look at how easy it is to write, what gotchas there might be,
and see if we can load test it a bit to compare the performance to an
equivalent Flask server.


*3. Duy Trinh: Visualization of weather and cancer data sets*
Duy will present how he uses pandas and openpyxl to organise complex data
to develop interactive dashboards that allow visualisation of weather and
cancer data sets.

*3. Announcements and pizza*

*When:* 5.45pm for mingling; talks from 6pm; pizza afterwards
*Where:* Level 2, 17 Hardware Lane, Melbourne CBD
*How to get there:* Walk 8 minutes from Flinders Street station or 5
