Hi everyone! We're looking forward to the next meeting of the Melbourne Python user group tonight (Monday 6th May). We have these two talks planned:
*1. Ben Dechrai: "Let's connect our front door to the internet! What could possibly go wrong?"* Securing IoT is hard, and the last thing we want to do is let some stranger in! Let's take a step back and consider other ways of securing that door, and granting access remotely, without connecting your door to the internet, while adhering to common protocols and data formats throughout. By mixing up a little Near Field Communication with JSON Web Tokens, sprinkling some Rich Communication Services and a fairly simple native mobile app, we should be able to create and demo an effective security process for letting the milkman in! Join us on this interactive journey, and maybe when one door closes, another will, actually, open. *2. Ned Letcher: "Snek Wrangling: Python Installation and Package management with pyenv, pip-tools, and pipx"* Python's "batteries included" philosophy means it comes bundled with a rich standard library offering a powerful set of accelerators. When it comes to managing Python installations and project dependencies, however, the built-in tooling leaves something to be desired. Virtual environments are crucial for isolating your project dependencies, but they can be frustrating to work with without any supporting tooling. Python's "pip" package manager is great, but it does not provide a built-in means for defining and tracking project requirements separate from downstream dependencies. After some experimentation and a few projects later, it's all too easy to get yourself into a spaghetti-like mess of various Python installations that can step on each other's toes. In this talk, Ned will describe a toolchain containing the packages pyenv, pip-tools, and pipx, that together help smooth over these challenges and remove friction from your Python development experience. *3. Announcements and pizza* *When:* 5.45pm for mingling; talks from 6pm; pizza afterwards *Where:* Level 2, 17 Hardware Lane, Melbourne CBD *How to get there:* Walk 8 minutes from Flinders Street station or 5 minutes from Melbourne Central *Sponsorship:* many thanks to Outcome Life for providing the venue, Biarri for sponsoring pizzas, and Python Charmers for organisation and meetup sponsorship. *RSVP:* Please respond on Meetup.com so we can track numbers: https://www. meetup.com/Melbourne-Python-Meetup-Group/ Do come along! We hope to see you there! :-) Best wishes, Ed -- Dr. Edward Schofield Python Charmers +61 (0)405 676 229 http://pythoncharmers.com
