Portland Pythoneers

This month's tentative schedule:

• Michel's Monthly Module ... email me to volunteer :)
• Joel Bernstein will talk about screen scraping tools
• Lightning talks!! 5 minutes of whatever pythonic-ish thing you want to share.

If you have something you'd like to share this month, please let us know!

Join us on our python.org mailing list and on #pdxpython on Freenode. All are welcome!

Python Testing! New Time! New Location!

Join us for our inaugural meeting at Webtrends in downtown Portland. On the agenda for August:

• Testing in a Python World by Adam Originally proposed for OSBridge 2009: http://opensourcebridge.org/proposals/243

• Module of the Month by Michelle

• Pizza & Beer sponsored by Emma!

Join us on our python.org mailing list and on #pdxpython on Freenode. All are welcome!

Socialize with other Python programming enthusiasts, check out presentations on Pythonic topics, maybe participate in a code sprint or two, possibly work on projects and provide mutual technical support.

Chris Pitzer has claimed November's Michel's Monthly Module (most likely: subprocess), Brett Carter is putting together a presentation all about Mercurial Queues, then Jason Kirtland will highlight a few of the differences between MQ and Mercurial Patch Branches. Jason also plans to share a quick bonus lightning talk about Emacs, PyFlakes and PEP 8.

Portland Python User Group

This month: Cool Python Tools

• Chris Pitzer will share two toolsets: I Hate Passwords: ssh-copy-id, ssh config, and managing multiple keys Play Nice: virtualenv, pip, ipython, with a special guest appearance from ipdb

• Chris McDonald will introduce us to bpython as a replacement for ipython, including its integration with Django and virtualenv.

• Selena Deckelmann will share a demo of screen, entitled: "OMG! SCREEN! basics, configuration, follow-the-leader -- you will wonder how you lived without it."

• You can bring a lightning talk about your favorite tool!

• We still don't have a taker for the Monthly Module. Email us at [email protected] to volunteer. It's a fun and easy way to start giving talks.

This month:

• Unlocking the Mysteries of Async by Allan Feldman, Senior Software Engineer at New Relic Allan works on New Relic's Python Agent Team, engineering instrumentation for a wide variety of frameworks and modules.

In this talk, Allan, will shed light on the inner workings of asynchronous Python and provide practical examples for when and how to implement it. Don't miss this one!

• Jupyter Lab, Not just a Notebook Anymore by Helena Lucia by, Senior Software Engineer for Cox Automotive.

Helena works on at Cox Automotive on a Data Solutions team building APIs and applications to integrate and analyze subsidiary data (Kelly Blue Book, Manheim, AutoTrader, etc) primarily using Python and AWS.

In this talk, Helena will showcase Jupyter Lab, a full service IDE with a full suite of plugins and open source community. Her talk will feature a live demo of Jupyter Lab that folks can download from github afterward. Awesome!

Join us afterward at Bailey's Taproom 213 SW Broadway to continue the discussion over a beverage.

This month:

• ETL testing with Python by Sev Leonard

ETL is the process of Extracting data from a source, Transforming it, and Loading it into storage. This process is commonly used to combine multiple data sources into data warehouses. In this talk Sev will give an overview of ETL with processes he designed for creating a data warehouse for medical data. The bulk of this talk will concern how Python and Pytest were used to test the ETL processes. This will include modeling ETL processes as objects, using test fixtures and markers for dynamic test suite generation, making tests extensible through parameterization, creating test data, and advice on navigating the pytest docs. This talk is targeted to intermediate Pythonistas interested in ETL, testing, or data magic.

Sev is a software developer and cat dad recently departed from his position at OHSU where he developed data management tools for cancer researchers and clinicians. He is coming soon to Nuna, a healthcare data and analytics startup as a Senior Software Engineer.

Looking for a job? Your friends at CloudBolt want your help developing their state of the art Cloud Management software. Built with Django and ranked as the #1 product of its kind, CloudBolt is looking for talented engineers of all kinds in inner SE Portland.

Un-Redacting the Mueller Report and Abstracting the News with NLP By Hobson Lane and Al Kari

Hobson will show you how to write a python "mad-libber" that can unredact the Mueller Report. The first person to correctly predict the next word better than the mad-libber will win an autographed copy of Natural Language Processing in Action, a book produced through open collaboration among Portland Python User Group Members, led by Cole Howard and Hannes Hapke. Then Hobson and Al Kari will show you how they use this same state-of-the-art language model to generate meaningful abstractive summaries of technical documents like clinical medical records.

About our speakers: Hobson Lane's first Python apps were built with the help of friends at the Portland Python User Group almost a decade ago. Since then he's been using Python for everything from chatbots to building energy consumption forecasting. He's now CTO at Deep Canopy where they build smart cameras for industry. In his spare time Hobson teaches Python and data science on Springboard.com, Thinkful.com, and Totalgood.com and preaches crackpot ideas for harnessing the pending AI explosion for the greater good.

Al Kari is a Google Developer Expert (GDE) in Machine Learning, organizer of the TensorFlow-Northwest meetup group and CEO of Manceps, an engineering company focused on providing intelligent automation solutions to innovative businesses.

Join us afterward at Bailey's Upper Lip Upstairs Taproom 213 SW Broadway to continue the discussion over a beverage.
