We have the pleasure to announce that Montreal Python 5 will be on 2009-02-26 at La Banque.
The main presentation will be Alexandre Vassalotti on Porting your Code to Python 3: Python 3, also colloquially known as Python 3000, is now out for general use. Unfortunately, its usage is limited since only a few libraries are currently compatible with Python 3. In this presentation, you will learn a straightforward process for migrating Python code and the common difficulties related to the transition. In addition, an overview of the new features brought by Python 3 will be described with practical examples. Finally, upcoming changes and features in Python 2.7 and 3.1 will be presented.
Alexandre Vassalotti is a contributing Python core developer and a computer science student at McGill University. He was a successful participant of Google Summer of Code 2007, for which he worked on the different aspects of Python 3.0.
The main presentation should be from 45 to 60 minutes. Before the main presentation, there will be a few flash (5 mins) presentation. We still have open spots for the flash presentation so don't hesitate to send us your idea for a flash presentation.
La Banque is located at 175 Roy. See you there.
