DFW Pythoneers Meeting

We are winding up the current meeting and I am trying to capture what we talked about so that when newcomers ask, I don't have to scratch my head and say "um, stuff..".

As always a lively session, mainly driven by Jeff Rush, it has been a lively one with presentations and ad-hoc chats about topics like:
  • the Forrester Wave work that Jeff did (and I contributed to) about the use of Python for enterprise web applications, including a simple mashup
  • a presentation of named tuples aka nuples (something like an immutable dictionary)
  • a recap on the game that John Zurawski developed for a 48-hour competition
  • a quick look at Gizmo(QP), a python framework (yet another!)
  • an RSS feed reader
  • a quick peek at Pyjamas
.. and we had a drop-in from the local PHP group.
