Auckland Python Meetup

The Auckland members of the New Zealand Python Users Group meet every month. You're very welcome to attend.

This month we have two exciting talks, so please be prompt at 6:30pm.

Pywinauto - a MS Windows automation with your favorite Language - Valentin Kroupkin

The presentation is about internals of the automation tool Pywinauto, its usage, and my experience with development in a small open source project.

Word Puzzles with Neo4j and Py2neo - Grant Paton-Simpson

Graph databases like Neo4j store nodes and relationships - which makes Neo4j + Py2neo such a good choice for building a word transformation game. For example, the challenge may be to get from 'stores' to 'slaked' word-by-word changing one letter at a time. One of 96 solutions is stores->stored->stared->staked->slaked. Neo4j makes it easy to store the word relationship data and query it.
