Our generous sponsor Okta will also provide refre shments for the evening. \n\n Talk #1: Import madness # how to implement mergesort using import statements by George London \n\n DESCRIPTION \n\n R ecently I had trouble importing a module. So I started actually reading th e documentation about the Python import system and realized that I had bee n writing Python for years without understanding basics like "a module is a file" or "importing a module executes it". A few days later I had a terr ible realization -- it's possible to implement the merge sort algorithm in Python using only the import keyword. This talk will walk through my (wor king!) implementation and use it as a teaching tool to: 1) Illustrate what actually happens when you import 2) Spark some creative thinking about ho w Python's dynamism allows for truly inadvisable metaprogramming. \n\n BI O \n\n George is a data engineer at Survata\, a survey startup in San Fran cisco. He's a self-taught programmer and Python was his 0th language. He l ikes philosophy\, programming\, epistemology\, and finding ways to break t hem. \n\n Talk #2: Python's Mock Library \n\n DESCRIPTION \n\n Python's m ock library is a handy tool when you need to test your code and only your code. You can use mocks to replace calls to services and libraries that ar e outside of your code. In this talk\, you'll get a breakdown of the featu res of mocks and several examples of how to implement mocks in your test c ode. \n\n Brian is a Site Reliability Engineer at Twitter\, where he main tains a robust suite of deployment and monitoring tools. He has also worke d at Pinterest and Facebook\, where he has worked on deployment\, monitori ng\, and remediation tooling primarily using Python. \n\n Talk #3: "Unicod e: what is the big deal?" by Łukasz Langa \n\n DESCRIPTION \n\n Ever wond ered why people complain that text processing is a hard problem? Or why Py thon 3 would introduce such a big backward incompatibility with switching to Unicode? Wonder no more\, this talk is for you. \n\n In 30 minutes I'm going to demonstrate real world text processing problems and how Python 3 helps solve them. The talk is going to explain how you should split your t ext from binary data in your application\, what are sensible defaults and what are possible gotchas. All this sprinkled with a healthy dose of frust ration by a guy whose first name starts with Ł. \n\n BIO \n\n Python comm itter since 2010. Chronic perfectionist. Pianist. Dad. In his free time us es Python 3 to help Facebook move fast. \n\n Agenda: \n\n 6:00p - Check-in and mingle\, with food provided by our generous sponsor Okta! \n\n 7:05p - Welcome \n\n 7:10p - Announcements and main talks \n\n 7:30p - Doors Clo se \n\n 9:00p - More mingling \n\n 9:30p - Hard Stop \n\n SF Python is run by volunteers aiming to foster the Python Community in the Bay Area. Plea se consider making a donation to SF Python and saying a big thank you to O kta for providing refreshments\, beer and the venue for this Wed's meetup. \n\n Okta is an API service which stores user accounts\, and handles thin gs like social login\, single sign on\, and authorization for your web app s\, mobile apps\, and API services. \n LAST-MODIFIED:20240728T211358 LOCATION:Okta\, 301 Brannan Street\, San Francisco\, CA ORGANIZER:mailto:grace@pybay.com SUMMARY:Learn more about Import\, Mock Library\, and Unicode URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/sf-python/learn-more-about-import-mock-library- and-unicode URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/sf-python/learn-more-about-import-mock-library- and-unicode END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260428T174533Z UID:z3QeLA1016567 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170614T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170614T213000 CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20170604T192308 LAST-MODIFIED:20171122T010349 ORGANIZER:mailto:grace@pybay.com SUMMARY:[Learn more about Import\, Mock Library\, and Unicode] SF Python Me etup URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/sf-python/learn-more-about-import-mock-library- and-unicode URL;VALUE=URI:https://ti.to/sf-python/learn-more-about-import-mock-library- and-unicode END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
