Pyjamas: Python->Javascript, set of widgets for use in a browser or a desktop
Skulpt: Python written in Javascript
Emscripten: C/C++ -> LLVM -> Javascript
Empythoned: Based on emscripten and cpython, working on a stdlib? There are bugs to file
Pyjaco: Another python to javascript compiler/translator
Brython: python 3 written in javascript

I'm getting kind of sidetracked ^_^. I want to see if I can narrow down why http://newcenturycomp... gets so slow at about a million elements in the container. For a while I thought maybe I introduced a bug, but it looks like the version I started with does it too - both 1.5 and 1.6.

Here's what I have so far: http://stromberg.dnsa... . If people have suggestions for columns (attributes of python implementations) or rows (python implementations) I should add, please speak up!

So I'm thinking I'll update my previous doc/presentation (http://bit.ly/ocpugga...) to add a "getting started" kind of quick presentation. And then anyone who wants to "get started" or hack away on GAE, we can do a workshop or hackathon or whatever to start coding on GAE! Sound good?

0 · March 26

Edward Liaw

Sounds good; I've heard http://learnpythonthe... is a good tutorial to get started on if anyone hasn't written any Python before.

Steve just SMSed me (should be posted here for all) "..I know some people wanted to talk about GAE tonight, so I can entertain but I don't have any big presentation besides what I brought last time. I'm putting a git repository up right now as a starter project if people want to hack on something, but that's all ive got. 4:02 PM" --sounds great Steve, indeed a starter project for all of us interested to work on sounds wonderful. As soon as you have the URL, post here!

*This thread is URL http://meetup.com/Ora... .
As promised, here's our (brand new) LUMDBI Python (programming language) Syllabus http://1.JotHere.com/... ; in particular,
*We will be starting off MIT's course quote("2011.01 "MIT 6.189: A Gentle Introduction to Programming using Python") http://1.JotHere.com/...
**Includes pair-building of a tetris game!
**In particular, in prep for this meeting, if you possibly can,
***Do the setup instructions http://1.JotHere.com/... especially to get your laptop ready, especially the downloads (I've copied all to my laptop but haven't yet gotten wifi sharing working) as our Internet may not be reliable unless attendees bring portable hotspots per request http://meetup.com/Ora...
***Read up what we'll be doing (via these links).

*Note as mentioned in that last URL on YourKarma, FreedomPop can give seemingly anyone (who gets one fast) as cheap portable Internet hotspot for $0 (yes, FREE) for month for up to 500MB and $10/mo for each additional 1GB.
**Especially if you don't yet have any portable hotspot and it seems hard to get your smartphone working as one, I suggest you order one of these while they're still free-monthly.

~2:40pm-4:01pm I even called & emailed (message ID MM1E98) this venue' next-door neighbors http://psbusinesspark... with a careful win-win sales pitch to share with us their wifi, at least for future mtgs. I'll report back here how it goes.

I don't know the details, but I'm gathering that we can't meet at SmartSoft anymore (possibly because it's shutting down?). I think this is a stop-gap meeting place until we can find a more well-equipped space. A few suggestions have been thrown at on mailing lists. I'm very confused by how all these forums, comments, and mailing lists work on meetup. It's all rather disjointed. But in any case, I'm sorry to hear about SmartSoft and hoping we can find another place that works as well for us.

Yeah, some of the practice problems might be good coding practice at the next meetup.

I signed up just now :D

What if we're going to check patterns of the problems, build libraries, discuss meetings about the libraries monthly, then use those libraries for next year's Google Code Jam! I'm pretty sure, it will be easier if we know how to use OCPUG libraries next year. All we need to do is call functions. It's legal!

We voted pretty solidly against having any attendance fee at the last meetup. I think only Michael or Dan can remove it though.

1 · March 31

Bobby M.

That's really nice to hear. I could see charging for a special event, but to have a mandatory entrance fee would make a lot of people reconsider showing up. Very happy to hear this is no longer an issue

Since Destiny went out of his way to schedule me to talk, after multiple times of me telling him I couldn't commit to a time, I'd like to keep this month open for anyone else who'd like to talk. Personally I think after Feb's meeting, a small intro to git would be more useful to people, but I will make an effort to have a few use cases to present to everyone in the April meetup if I am able to attend.

Franz Noel Tanglao

Thank you. I personally would love to hear it!

I've only been using it for like 6 months--so maybe not the best person to do it--, but here's a neat cheatsheet I found through reddit: http://ndpsoftware.co...

Franz Noel Tanglao

I can talk about it. Although, I'm a little bit rusty because I'm not an expert, yet. It's a worry free way to store your projects. And, you may use code.google.com, too. Basically, you start from learning how to use svn (subversion). There is tortoise svn, and other tools, but it is just basically svn. Svn is a repository. Mercurial is another repository. You may use that in both github and code.google.com

0 · March 28

Franz Noel Tanglao

And by the way, stackoverflow is another great resource for learning. If you are stuck in a problem, you may ask them. If you want to make a note of something, you can ask and answer your own post. It looks like a game of reputations. Some companies consider the reputation as a plus.

Franz Noel Tanglao

Sorry... I mean, tortoise svn and tortoise sg can be client or server repositories. Store it inside your computer, or store in a repository, which is github or google code.

0 · March 28

Bobby M.

I'd recommend sticking to git if you're going to use github. Mercurial has a neat wrapper that'll push a Mercurial repo into git, but it would be significantly easier to learn the basics of git.

1 · March 28

Franz Noel Tanglao

I'm not good with git. I'm using svn. But it's good to know. Thanks for the advice.

I think it'd be best to point people to the official website instead of the wikipedia page. http://saltstack.org & http://saltstack.com

0 · March 28

Edward Liaw

Nice! I remember you mentioning Saltstack before as a server administration/management tool. If I got the gist of it, it lets you deploy shell commands across machines that are organized into groupings?

0 · March 29

Bobby M.

Commands are a small fraction. You can execute programs, create/change/remove users both at the OS and in supported applications, update software, retrieve system information, and much more. What's nice about it is that it will scale down to a single instance, so for example I can run it in a Virtual Machine to create the same exact development environment for testing, or use it for a small appliance hardware to guarantee that the right packages are getting installed at boot.
