Python Talks at the all-hands ?

[Tarek Ziadé]

Hey,

Are you (moco) guys interested in a Python gathering again at the
all-hands ? I was thinking about having more formal talks.

What about having all Pycon presenters present their talks again ?

Cheers
Tarek

Gathering - yes.

Most talks are online, so maybe some discussion on things that Phillikon mentioned like co-routines and whatnot.

WHat did moz-folks present?

Sure, another option is to make it a BoF session around

I've started a page here where you can add the topics you're interested in

I think we should definitely have another get together. I am a strong
advocate of lightning talks since they are short and easy to do.

As Dave mentioned, the videos are online and the quality is good.
Plus, I already gave a smaller version of my tox presentation at the
last all-hands :)

Ok, I've added one about pypi2rpm -- please add some :D

I'd also like to know more about packaging, specifically what does it
mean to me that setup.py is going away?

And I'd like to start brain-storming about how we, as an organization,
use python, particularly in m-c and core-ish code (i.e. if you're
writing something new, you can do whatever you want, but how do we
improve not-new stuff?). The goal being a cleaner, meaner, clearer
usage of python as part of build tools and a more informed mozilla
populous about *good* python patterns (I won't mention the specific
bad ones we use).

I could do a lightning on this.

sounds good, you should fill the topics section with this in the wiki
