Second Montreal Python Meeting
The second Montréal Python user group meeting is on 2008-04-10. Two talks this time: one on scripting Asterisk with Python by Cyril Robert, the other on graphical programming by me. My shameless plug reads as follow:
Python is a great language for fast prototyping and iterative development. It has a broad standard library, a wide variety of add-on modules, and its clean C API fueled the creation of bindings for essentially all the popular C and C++ toolkits.
In this practical introduction, I will put the slides aside and hack a simple graphical application using PyQt and PyOpenGL. I will try to do as much code as possible in 35 minutes then answer questions for another 10 minutes. If time allows, I might delve into the land of database access with SQLAlchemy, plug-in architecture with Setuptools, and unit testing with Doctest.
If you plan to show up, please help the organizers with the logistics by mentioning it on the wiki. Yes, there will be refreshments.
