Python Concurrency Workshop, Jan 14-15, 2010


		  Python Concurrency Workshop, v2.0
			 January 14-15, 2010
			  Chicago, Illinois
	    http://www.dabeaz.com/chicago/concurrent.html

		  *** Last Two Weeks to Register ***

Join David Beazley, author of the Python Essential Reference, for an
in-depth workshop on concurrent programming techniques and
idioms. This workshop, designed for more experienced Python
programmers, covers threads, synchronization, message passing,
multiprocessing, distributed computing, coroutines, asynchronous I/O
and other related topics with an eye towards writing programs that can
run on multiple CPU cores, clusters, or distributed systems.  A major
theme of the workshop is to explore and understand different
programming techniques, their associated performance properties, and
other tradeoffs.  You'll definitely walk away with new insight and a
better understanding of how different parts of Python work under the
covers.

Workshop attendance is strictly limited to six people. More information,
including a detailed topic index, is available at:

	    http://www.dabeaz.com/chicago/concurrent.html

Hopefully I'll see you in a few weeks!

  http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/

Whats new since rc1:
- Several small bugfixes.
- updated RFC2217 implementation, client support.
- changed Posix read implementation (error handling for disconnected
  devices)
- See CHANGES.txt in the distribution for full list.

Source archive and Windows installers can be downloaded from here:

The Windows installer for Python 3.x has py3k in its name, the other one
is for Python 2.x. The source archive's setup.py should automatically
convert using 2to3 when run with Python 3.x.

What is pySerial? Quoting from the home page:

This module encapsulates the access for the serial port. It provides
backends for Python running on Windows, Linux, BSD (possibly any POSIX
compliant system), Jython and IronPython (.NET and Mono). The module
named "serial" automatically selects the appropriate backend.

[TIP] ANN: oejskit 0.8.7 JavaScript in-browser testing with py.test plugin and unittest.py glue

I'm happy to announce a new release of OE jskit 0.8.7 available on PyPI. 
Main points of interest:

- user-defined naming of browsers for the remote browser script so that
it is easier to run a test suite for example against machines running
ie7 and ie8 both, see "Remote browsers" in the doc for more details.

- the glue code to run JavaScript tests with unittest.py is now documented

- compatibility with py.test 1.1.1 cleanups, the plugin is now exposed
to py.test through a setuptools entry point

About OE jskit:

jskit contains infrastructure and in particular a py.test plugin to
enable running unit tests for JavaScript code inside browsers.
It contains also glue code to run JavaScript tests from unittest.py
based test suites.

The approach also enables to write integration tests such that the
JavaScript code is tested against server-side Python code mocked as
necessary. Any server-side framework that can already be exposed through
WSGI can play.

The plugin requires py.test 1.1.1 at least.

More information and downloading at:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/oejskit

PyCon early-bird ends TOMORROW (Jan 6)

PyCon early-bird registration discounts end TOMORROW, Jan. 6.

The time for raw panic has arrived.  Run into the nearest open public
place.  Wave your arms in the air, tear your hair, and scream wildly.
Sobbing hysterically is a nice touch.

Or, if all that sounds too tiring for you, just stop by
http://us.pycon.org/2010/registration/ and register.

After tomorrow, rates will go from wonderfully-cheap $450/300/400
(corporate/individual/student) to still-pretty-darn-cheap $600/350/225.

Remind your friends!  See you in Atlanta!
