Today’s meetup went pretty well. Kenneth Reitz gave his Python for Humans talk. The main focus (I felt) was on PEP 20′s “There should be one– and preferably only one –obvious way to do it”. The major problem being that new adopters are faced with multiple choices to do everyday things like file system access and web requests. Some of these choices are old (urllib2) and deprecated (easy_install).
We discussed Python 3k and its unicode problems, and possibly convinced Ed to back port his language processor to use 2.7 instead of 3k. I learned about gUnicorn, which I intend on using for a work in progress.
It was a good time, and I anxiously await next month when Jim Fulton gives his talk!
