== Please register here == http://www.doodle.com/mzhdmdpg8t5q55ig == What kind of workshop is this? == This will be a beginners workshop, things I (fs111) want to cover.: * Brief introduction in the who, what and where in python * Hello World and the interactive interpreter * control structures * built-in types (numbers, strings, lists, dicts, sets etc.) and higher level functions * input/output * module system (imports) * objects and classes and types * documentation system * neat little tricks and features you should know (generators, list comprehension, slicing) * some modules from the standard lib that you should know (OS interface, filesystem, option parsing, xml?, network stuff etc.) * Q/A all the time of course == How long will the workshop last? == I really don't know. I try to cover the stuff mentioned above and then we can go into freestyle hacking, where we help each other out I guess. As long we do not run out of mate we can go on :-) The list of topics usually too long for one session, so expect a second one. == What do I need to participate? == I will use the latest release of the Python 2.x series which is 2.6 right now. 3.x is out already for some time but the adoption is low and a big number of 3rd party modules are not ported yet. So what I would expect from you is that you have the following installed: * python 2.6, which can be downloaded [http://python.org/download/releases/2.6.2/ here] * a text editor of choice, anything will do, I use [http://www.vim.org vim]. Tips for vim and Python [http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Python here]. * a shell * some programming knowledge is really helpful, but this is a hackerspace, you should have seen code before :-) == How much does it cost? == It is free for members and non members are kindly asked to make a donation, the more, the better! == What language will this workshop be in? == PYTHON!!!!11 No srsly, I will do it in English. == setting up readline completion == export PYTHONSTARTUP=$HOME/.pythonrc # Add auto-completion and a stored history file of commands to your Python # interactive interpreter. Requires Python 2.0+, readline. Autocomplete is # bound to the Esc key by default (you can change it - see readline docs). # # Store the file in ~/.pystartup, and set an environment variable to point # to it: "export PYTHONSTARTUP=/home/user/.pystartup" in bash. # # Note that PYTHONSTARTUP does *not* expand "~", so you have to put in the # full path to your home directory. import atexit import os import readline import rlcompleter readline.parse_and_bind('tab: complete') # readline.parse_and_bind("bind ^I rl_complete") # for osx historyPath = os.path.expanduser("~/.pyhistory") def save_history(historyPath=historyPath): import readline readline.write_history_file(historyPath) if os.path.exists(historyPath): readline.read_history_file(historyPath) atexit.register(save_history) del os, atexit, readline, rlcompleter, save_history, historyPath
