2014-03-06 Thread Lars Yencken
Hey guys, An idea for our meetups, I wouldn't mind starting with a short 5-10 min "What's new in Python" section, a time for everyone to share news that we take notes on and email out at the end. I saw this done at a Ruby meetup and think it's good, we should import it. An interesting spot to ski

Ok, so Lars is up for the May "what's new in Python, Pycon US/Montréal edition". Does anyone want to raise their hand for the April "what's new in Python"? J On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 11:14 AM, Lars Yencken wrote: > Rotating is a good idea, ideally it should be really interactive. > > I'll be aw

I like the idea. I think that many people on this group are already aware of Pycoder's Weekly which is a weekly roundup of new projects, articles etc. in Python. It is a great publication and helps keep me up to date with what's happening in the Python world. In case you haven't seen or heard of

Hi everyone, Python 3.4 is out! Here’s the What’s New page: http://docs.python.org/3.4/whatsnew/3.4.html In other breaking news, it looks likely that Python 3.5 will (finally) have a dedicated infix operator for matrix multiplication. PEP 465 has the details: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/

A sincere thanks from those of us unable to attend! You forgot to mention SciPy 2014, where I am currently located. A bit late to catch a flight here, but not too late to follow the @SciPyConf account and #scipy2014 hashtag! Quite a bit of online sharing happening, and videos from the conference a

Thanks, Graeme. I was on mobile, and had not read the wiki at all. I'll just ask to be added to the EditorsGroup and do my own editing. J On Sat, Jul 12, 2014 at 8:47 AM, Graeme Cross wrote: > On Sat, 12 Jul 2014, at 08:33 AM, Javier Candeira wrote: >> Oh, something must have happened to it. I'l
