This month we have the following two speakers:

Thomas Kluyver (@takluyver) - Taxonome: A Software Tool for Biological Data
Simon Davy (@bloodearnest) - Virtualenv is Obsolete

Simon has given the following description for his talk:

"Virtualenv is the defacto standard method of managing dependencies and
environments in the python ecosystem, and is included by default in
Python 3.3. But there are still a number of drawbacks, and with
virtual machines becoming the unit of deployment, its benefits are
less clear. This talk will look at using virtualenv for deployment,
and explore some of the limitations and open questions."
