Last week, Mathieu Perreault and Derek Ruths gave the second McGill Python Workshop. With around 40 attendees, the event was definitely a success and you should expect another workshop soon.
Derek lets us know:
We showcased a number of libraries that ship with Python including support for working with SQLite databases, pickling objects, reading and writing CSV files, building well-formed command-line tools, and constructing applications with a full graphical user interface!
That’s a nice series of events to keep an eye on.

Winter is coming, the terraces are closing but Montréal-Python is gearing up for a new (most likely) epic meet!
This time, we’re moving away from societal debates and we go back to Python’s youth in us with a special meet about video games.

Once again, we will be featuring numerous presentations of 5 and 20 minutes about our main theme.

- 18h30: First salvo
- 19h10: Pause
- 19h25: Second salvo
