Hi,
I've had a few people mention that wished they'd been able to make the tutorial on sunday, but weren't arriving until later, and want to gauge if there's interest from anyone in attending an open space session on kamaelia, cherry picking parts of the tutorial? Walkthrough, discussion or people interested in cannibalising it for other stuff ? (Not the full tutorial obviously, though, that'd be crazy :-) If there is any, I'll put a session up. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's basically unix style ethos in python, except generators/threads/processs instead of processes, python objects instead of text streams & inboxes/outboxes instead of file handles. ie Unix pipelines gives you concurrency more or less for free, and I wanted the same in standard software, and particularly python. Not really for the concurrency (though we were dealing with naturally concurrent problems), but because it's maintainable. We recently realised that some of our higher level components boil down to implementing bash/shell language features -- which isn't too surprising when you consider that bash shell systems are basic concurrency languages (one that just hopes no-one notices ;). If anyone's interested in exploring that in python (kamaelia or filterpype, or fibra, or stackless, or disco, or ...), the that'd be interesting too.
