November ChiPy Meeting
Last night’s meeting worked out well, despite it’s relatively last minute nature. The three presentations (Ian Bicking on RulesDispatch, Robert Ramsdell on the random module, and Fawad Halim on PYRO) were great.
I was pretty impressed with RulesDispatch. It seems like it could be very useful as a concept. I’m still not totally comfortable with decorators, but the actual RulesDispatch piece was neat.
Robert’s random presentation was also really interesting. He dug deeper into the random module than most of us ever have. I didn’t know you could sub-class random to use your own random algorithms.
Fawad’s presentation on PYRO was also pretty cool. It seems like a good set of tools for doing complicated dispatching of messages.
Good stuff all around.
