This presentation was my first usage of , a Python HTML5 slide presenting tool. If you’re interested in the reStructuredText source for this presentation, I’m providing that as well: .
Aaaaaaaaand October notes…
Kent’s Korner this month was . After Kent’s presentation, a discussion on unit testing ensued, talking more about , Java’s unit testing package , and another popular Python unit testing package .
We then moved on to our main presentation, where Arc schooled us about . Sphinx is a tool for creating and maintaining Python documentation. Sphinx extends
to support documenting Python. The Sphinx markup extensions are
in the Sphinx docs. Sphinx currently uses

More discussion of restructured text ensued. Kent mentioned that he writes Kent’s Korner in ReST, using . It was discussed that ReST is pretty ubiquitous, for example,

Catching up on last month’s meeting (at this month’s meeting no less!).
Kent was originally going to present about the new features in Python 2.6, but was unfortunately unable to attend at the last minute. We plowed along, with Bill leading the discussion, walking through
This lead to some discussion about documenting your Python. Python 2.6 has started using

In Kent’s absence, Shawn presented an introduction to accessing web services from Python, using both
After explaining a little bit about what web services are, Shawn jumped straight into a practical example, working with bug and issue tickets in .
We used the test project in the
to exercise our code. After reviewing the

from the standard library, went ahead and created
in the public JIRA instance. We then referred to the
and interacted with our ticket, for example adding comments.
Moving on to SOAP, Shawn pointed out that there are numerous SOAP libraries for Python each with their own pros and cons. He mentioned three (and has since thought of another added here): , , , and .
Using SOAPpy, , and the , we again jumped to the Python prompt and manipulated our test ticket.
Working with JIRA brought up the discussion of other bug tracking packages. Two packages, both written in Python, are

Arc also mentioned a Python web templating library called .
And lastly, for those wondering at the end of the meeting about “Zombie Strippers” being on my Google Calendar…it is a hilarious horror/comedy starring Jenna Jameson and Robert Englund (yes *that* ). It’s coming out on DVD and Blu-Ray on October 28th. For more about the film see the , , and the .
I’ve been a bad doobie and not been posting PySIG bits for the last month or so. Ray kindly shared his notes from his August talk about the Yahoo BOSS API. I’ve converted that to PDF and the notes are available .

See you next month!
Arrived later than usual, traffic on Rt. 3 was extra retarded.
Start planning for
activities. This year it’s on September 20, 2008.
Kent asked about accessing existing C++ code from Python.
Arc recommended
or possibly .
Shawn mentioned that if you need to access C libraries, that
may be useful, but Arc said there can be some caveats to how well it can work. This led into discussions of other projects for doing things like writing Python modules with packages that will build out to C. The two main projects in this space that came up were

found it’s way to the meeting, and is a good starting point for attacking this problem.
Ted has been having headaches with Unicode text files (and receiving text possibly in other encodings). Kent suggested
to help with the problem.

On a rainy&June&evening in Bangalore—we revisited our favourite talks and take-aways from the Interaction16 conference. Shamelessly belated and far far from the cold Northern Capital of Helsinki, home to the Interaction16 conference. This&is in response to the ask for sharing the videos/posts&we shared that evening in Bangalore.
What's Interaction16?
[ skip this if you need no introductions ]&The 2016 Edition of the Annual IxDA conference.& is the&Interaction Design Association, a volunteer-supported "organisation dedicated to the discipline of interaction design." In over 13 years, "IxDA has grown into a global network of more than 80,000 members and over 173 local groups," focusing on improving the human condition via the practice of interaction design.
What made Interaction16 special for me were the voices of the community, not just corporates.&It was refreshing (for most&of the time) to not have technologies, sites and services pitched incessantly as that one magical solution. Refreshing to speak with Interaction Design (Ix) practitioners, teachers, students—from Chile, Netherlands, SouthAfrica, HongKong, Australia, Belgium, Pakistan,&Scandinavia and more.
So back to the Redux:&Manu and I talked about Interaction16, while , previous
winner (Amsterdam, 2014), spoke about his journey. , Bangalore chapter lead for
(supporting the Redux event) spoke about some of the Design trends—further out in time and space (literally). Asha from
pitched in with a fun little exercise to identify&future titles for designers.
The&Super Six
Its hard to cull it down—hard because we didn't get around to seeing&all the talks (including some&by my former colleagues from Bristol, Noida and SF) and hard because there were so many insightful, delightful&talks. But here goes—
Cameron Sinclair: Designing LifeCameron's talk was the kind that's life reaffirming and mind expanding. As an architect and designer, the human scale at which he&aims to make a difference is well beyond the 1000x level—for his work is focused on the world's dispossessed: people who have no place to call home. Whether a rickshaw puller in Bangladesh or the millions uprooted by war, genocide or natural calamities. His notes on efficient design, sustainable relationships and life that happens despite swaps and taps were both funny and poignant. A must watch—
Tricia Wang:&Manu focused extensively on Tricia Wang's talk—on data, bias and the need for thick data - not just big data. Her talk weaves through 16th C Venice, to Christian Missionaries landing in China to Oculus Rift. It weaves through mirrors, blind spots in empathy and how designers can pack in data with richer, deeper contexts.
Nicolas Nova and Simone Rebaudengo: Smart FrictionsExploring the edges and boundaries of "smart"—Nicolas and Simone tell of their experiments of real fictional products for real fictional people. Is smart merely a lazy&imitation of human behaviours and&a reflection of our limits as teachers of smarts?&Made me think of how humor, creativity&and&fiction still have a unique&place in the professions we sometimes take&too seriously.&
Joshua Seiden: &Learnings from Live SystemsJosh, co-author of LeanUX, presented a pragmatic talk and a case for design stewardship, designing to learn and design for behaviour change. Josh's talk was sharp, actionable: mixing design, branding, lean, mvp, learning and behaviour change. Some excellent real life case studies.
Josh&Clark: &Magical UXJosh continues to build&on the theme of what smart means (and doesn't). And what magic (or the lack of it) will come from IoT, connected devices and (almost) anything as a surface. Funny and well worth a rerun!
Joe McLeod: &Closure ExperiencesOn a closing note, Joe has this though provoking piece on saying goodbye to products and services in the digital and physical world. Can we (should we) plan for&digital demise&and end-of-life, and if yes, how do we design closure experiences. Top marks for originality and an entertaining talk punctuated with humor.
Design As ParticipationA common thread, in many talks and discussions, was&t. A long eminently readable meditation on a the&question of—"should designers continue to privilege users above all others in the system? What would it mean to design for participants instead? For all the participants?"Because&"we are no longer just using computers. We are using computers to use the world. The obscured and complex code and engineering now engages with people, resources, civics, communities and ecosystems." Recommended reading!
