PySIG -- New Hampshire Python Special Interest Group
Amoskeag Business Incubator, Manchester, NH
22 March 2007 (4th Thursday) 7:00PM
The monthly meeting of PySIG, the NH Python Special Interest Group,
takes place fourth Thursdays, starting at 7:00 PM. Beginners'
session precedes at 6:30 PM. (Bring a Python question!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PySIG's Project Nite -- presented by any and each of us who's
gotten something interesting working in Python
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of our best meetings have been those where we had the
most opportunity to give and take, and let discussions go
where the questions lead us.
Our idea at Project Nite is to let each of us share something
we've been able to do using Python. Most of our stories have
been successes, and it's a joy to see something neat which
someone has been able to do using Python -- and why Python
is THE tool for doing neat things, as well as learning how
to do neat things. Failure stories are welcome too -- saving
someone else from doing something which turned out to not
work can be an even more valuable gift!
This does NOT need to be a formal presentation, and a short
tip is as welcome as a new Web framework. (!) So dust off
that LDAP synchronization script, or your automated-log-
mailer code snippet, or that three-line invocation of the
W32 OLE library, and bring it along.
Plus:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
o Kent's Korner (Module of the Month), maybe even by Kent himself!
o Our usual roundtable of introductions, happenings, and
announcements.
* A special treat this month, if Bill can get it working... *
And of course, milk & cookies...
Many thanks to Alex, who generously made last month's milk run

About PySIG:
PySIG meetings are typically 10-20 people, around a large table
equipped with a projector, power, and Internet hookup (wired and
wireless). We encourage laptops and hands-on; seminar style.
The main meeting starts at 7 PM; officially we finish circa 9 PM.
Everyone is welcome. ("Membership" is anyone who has an interest
in the Python progamming language, whether on Microsoft systems,
Linux, or mainframes. We have everyone from object-oriented
gurus to recovering COBOL programmers.) Tell your friends!
Beginners' session:
The half hour before the formal meeting (i.e., starting at 6:30PM)
we have a beginners' session. Any Python question is welcome --
whoever asks the first question gets the half hour! Questions are
equally welcome by mail beforehand (in which case we can announce
them) or at the meeting. (As are all Python questions, anytime.)

About Python:
"Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that
can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers
strong support for integration with other languages and tools,
comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned
in a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial
productivity gains and feel the language encourages the
development of higher quality, more maintainable code."
"NASA uses Python...so does Rackspace, Industrial Light&Magic,
AstraZeneca, Honeywell, and many others."
Google: "Python has been an important part of Google since the
beginning, and remains so as the system grows and evolves."
-Peter Norvig

Directions (thanks to Ted Roche for improvements to "from the north"):
PySIG NH meetings are held at the Amoskeag Business Incubator,
33 South Commercial Street, Manchester, NH.
Coming in to Manchester using I-293, from the north:
o Use Exit 6 from I-293. Stay to the right on the ramp,
yield twice to traffic incoming from the left, cross back
over I-293 and accept one merge coming in from your right.
o Then get in the right lane, and stay there, over the river,
and onto the Canal Street exit ramp.
o Take the first right off Canal Street onto North Commercial
Street. Enjoy the scenic mill buildings as the street turns
into Commercial Street.
o Coming to the traffic light get in the middle lane. South
Commercial Street starts on the other side of the light.
You go straight through (and join the folks coming from the
south at step * below).
Coming in to Manchester using I-293, from the south:
o Use the Granite Street exit. Turn right (east). Go under
I-293 and cross the bridge over the Merrimack River.
o Turn right (south) at the first light after crossing the
bridge.
* This is South Commercial Street. Go past one parking-lot
entrance, turn right into the second one. 33 Commercial
Street will be right in front of you. You may go in via
either the ramp or the door and three steps inside.
o Inside. Up the stairs if via the door. Go through the
glass doors - follow the diamonds on the floor. Go left
at the last diamond. (Under a sign which says
"<- Amoskeag Small Bus. Incubator").
o More diamonds, another sign... much glass and office
space for SNHU; turn left there, 4 more diamonds and
you're at the glass doors for the Incubator. An "abi"
sign is above.
o Through the doors, straight down the hall. The ABI
Conference Room is on the left.
