 Then there is Generators and Coroutines.

 So, if others think GIL is a dry subject or something that requires

 Hi,

 my 2 cents and things I would be interested in...

 I think it would also help to know in general about interpreters, and the
 python interpreter particularly.
 about having JITs for Python interpreter etc. And improving Python
 performance in general..using dataflow optimizations to the bytecode itself.
 Also about packaging in Python, what are his thoughts on the ideal solution.
 And about his experience on concurrency approaches in Pythoncoroutines
 vs threads vs processes etc

The GIL thing is probably going to be a conversation about methods of

There are around 10 people who've +1d

Dave will be here from 10th May to 15th May (he's leaving on the 15th
late at night).
I've spoken to the people where I currently am (TANDBERG) and they're
okay with a meeting in the evenings. The space is pretty decent and
can house around 10 - 12 people. So the venue will work. Additionally,
it's right next door to where he stays so it's convenient for him as
well.

  A restaurant is one option but that would preclude a proper  tech.

All this is on the assumption that there is some crowd to be

   I just spoke to David and he's quite interested in meeting the local
   Pythonistas and maybe even talking about some Python related
   concept/technology that's not so commonly discussed.
  
   The only problem is that he'll be here for a week (Monday to Friday)
   and won't have time during work hours so if we want to meet up, we'll
   have to make it an evening session. I'm not sure about the logistics.
   A restaurant is one option but that would preclude a proper  tech.
   discussion. It would be nicer to have some space and to have food
   brought in.
 
 
 All this is on the assumption that there is some crowd to be
 expected for this. Better plan this after a show of hands.

 From me it is a -1.

Maybe those who are in Bangalore can approach Directi for some space
at their office for meeting up and having technical discussions with
David. I believe they were quite helpful with providing office space
for a small hackfest[1] a couple of months earlier.

When Noufal wrote talking about some Python related
concept/technology I'd assumed it would not be a formal lecture/talk
with the mandatory lets show numbers. Assuming its an informal
meetup*, i'd still -1 to using restaurants/noisy public spaces.

* call it monthly bangpyper meets if you like:)

I think a hotel/restaurant etc is almost out, because it would take a lot to

It's a count for number of people interested in hearing him speak.

A restaurant is a last resort. If the number of people generally
interested is too low, we might make it just a dinner time
conversation rather than a proper presentation. Keep in mind that it
will be after office hours.

That's roughly 7 people. I imagine over time, it'll be around 10-11.

Any suggestions on where to have the talk? I could ask at the place
where I am (and where he's coming to) if they can allow for a small
meeting after regular office hours. Any other suggestions? Preferably
close to MG road.

+1 to talks, +1 to user group meets
+1 to ThoughtWorks - it has got more space

While Directi might be available anytime, I'm afraid we could accommodate
only 10-12 people maximum.

I was aware of his trip when I met him at PyCon in Feb. I believe
he'll be here for around a week. I've asked him if it would be
possible to join us for a user group meeting when he has some free
time. I'll keep the list posted.

I personally feel that the GIL presentation was the most well prepared
talk of all the ones I attended.
