Dear Python Community:
   """
   Please, be informed that the Call for Participation to Kiwi PyCon 2009
   in Christchurch on 7-8 November, is now open.
   """

We are looking for Talks, Tutorials, Lightning Talks, Demos, Open Spaces and
lots of hall way interaction. We're looking for proposals on all aspects of
Python - programming from novice to advanced levels; applications and
frameworks, or how you have been involved in introducing Python into your
organisation.

We especially welcome first-time speakers; we are a community conference and
we are eager to hear about your experience. If you have friends or colleagues
who have something valuable to contribute, twist their arms to tell us about
it! Please also forward this Call for Papers to anyone that you feel may be
interested.

To fins out more go to the official Call for Participation page here:

http://nz.pycon.org/talks-cfp/call-for-papers/

or get a printable version for your local pin board, your colleague's mail
pigeon holes, etc.

http://nzpug.org/KiwiPyCon/CallForProposals?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=KiwiPyConCfP.pdf

The submission deadline for proposals is in about two weeks already on Sunday,
2 August 2009. So, hurry up! Participators (not Lightning Talk speakers,
though) will receive a reduced rate for attendance of only $10!

See you in Christchurch this year!

Indented:
   Your NZPUG Kiwi PyCon Committee

Tue May 13 2008 00:18 pydoctor convenience:

It's been a while since I've done much with pydoctor (and even longer since I posted here) but I've just added what I think is a reasonably nifty new command to it.

If you get revno 525 or newer of https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mwhudson/pydoctor/dev, 'pydoctor --auto' should find all packages and modules in the current directory, analyze them and pop up your browser showing the index page for the api docs of what it found. pydoctor will be running in it's poorly advertised 'editing' mode, where it runs an HTML server that allows you to edit docstrings and get a diff of all the edits you've made.

Please try it and see how you find it!

Mon Apr 09 2007 18:41 some nevow silliness: I have an application (pydoctor) that uses nevow for its html generation. One of the newer classes uses a big "loaders.stan" for its docFactory, and this was getting a bit unwieldy so I wanted to switch to using loaders.xmlfile. But that meant I had to convert the stan expression into a template, which seemed like it would be pretty boring. So I hacked instead, and wrote an implementation of nevow.inevow.IRendererFactory that, when the stan is rendered, produces as output xml suitable for use with loaders.xmlfile.

The (fairly insane in places) code is here. For an example of what it does, it turns this into this. It doesn't support slots or patterns or ..., just those things I needed so far. It says something for nevow that this is even remotely possible :-)

As I've been learning bzr recently, I've made http://python.net/crew/mwh/hacks/stan2xml/ a bzr branch. Try bzr branch http://python.net/crew/mwh/hacks/stan2xml/.

Mon Mar 26 2007 00:31 EuroPython 2007: Call for Proposals: After a some late night CPS wrangling (fortunately mostly not done by me; Paul Boddie is a hero), I'm very happy to announce the EuroPython 2007 call for proposals:

on behalf of all the people involved in organizing EuroPython this year.
