Generating a Compiled HTML Help (CHM) file is often necessary when distributing applications on Microsoft Windows platforms. However, many developers may dislike authoring HTML and/or cannot use Microsoft’s help tools. preshrunk-cotton streamlines the creation of CHM files by allowing the author to quickly write documentation in Textile markup and build the help file on almost any platform.

An introduction into the world of 508 compliance.

Can we develop software faster without compromising quality, schedule or cost? Do we have the right tools? Do we measure and estimate well? Are we good developers? This research attempts to answer these concerns, combining automated statistical methods with a lightweight but complete IDE for wx/web2py, alternative to IDLE resembling VB, for QA & self-improvement using Personal Software Process.

Python has provided a suite of tools required for our Lagrangian Particle Modeling Framework that is used for simulation of atmospheric transport. The Python language is used for generating input files for our FORTRAN codebase, using f2py to control several aspects of running the model and reading output, and dynamically generating content with matplotlib for web-display using Plone.

Location has become mainstream in society and computing. Developers are being tasked with working with spatial data of varying formats. Lucky for Python developers, there are many packages and libraries that can help us make sense of and utilize spatial data, and this poster will explain some of those options.

A poster session for a hands-on demo of "BitbeamBot". It started as an art project, but it has a much more serious practical application: mobile web testing. To trust that your mobile app truly works, you need an end-to-end test on the actual device. BitbeamBot is an Arduino-powered open-source hardware CNC robot that can test any application on any mobile device.

Indico provides a multitude of features to conference/meeting organizers, merging the capabilities of a powerful CMS with a calendaring layer, thus allowing users to keep track of past and future meetings, and to quickly access all the resources concerning a particular event.

Traditional solutions for data and graph analytics tend to be highly fragmented, and take the form of stand-alone frameworks. In this poster session, we shall describe our approach that is centered around a suite of advanced parallel primitives embedded within SPM.Python. These primitives augment the serial Python language with concepts like parallel generators, emitters and exceptions.

CScope has been around for years, and is a very useful tool to get a handle on C source code. Pycscope is an attempt to bring those benefits to the world of Python. Unfortunately, the existing version is woefully out of date. We take a walk through an attempt to update it, correct some flaws and make it more generally useful to us, while giving us a view into the Python parser.

Close your laptop lids and stop updating your Twitter stream! All it's going to take is 30 minutes of your time to turn yourself into a Django web app developing, MongoDB crushing machine. In this technical talk we'll start by coding our app up in Django, unleash the power of PyMongo on MongoDB and then deploy everything to the cloud with Git.

Pervading of computer activities into the teaching/learning process and research make them constitute a third pillar in science and engineering (S & E) in addition to theory and experiment. Python African Computational S & E Tour is to ease the learners into programming with Python and to use it for modeling, simulation and visualization to aid teaching/learning process and research in Africa.

We present a web server based instrument control system written in Python.

PyMC implements a suite of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling algorithms making it extremely flexible, extensible and applicable to a large suite of statistical modeling problems. PyMC's clear, concise syntax allows scientists to flexibly implement Bayesian models without hand-coding samplers.

Before Python, Guido was a contributor to the ABC language and environment. ABC was designed to teach programming, and introduced many "Pythonic" ideas: integrated dicts and tuples, structure by indentation, strong typing without declarations etc. With high demand for Python in education, the legacy of ABC is more relevant than ever as we design courses and environments for learners.

Better materials -- faster computers, better solar cells, energy storage -- are central to technological progress. The Materials Project aims to dramatically reduce the time for materials to go from lab to market. We show how Python powers all aspects of the Materials Project, from the interface to the database to simulations running on supercomputers.

The Chandra X-ray Observatory has been producing significant astronomical discoveries since its launch by NASA in July of 1999. The Chandra operations team uses Python for predictive thermal modeling of the spacecraft to maintain a safe thermal environment. This poster describes the Xija modeling framework that is used to create, calibrate, and compute these thermal models.

The Cython language is very close to the Python language, but Cython additionally supports calling C functions and declaring C types on variables and class attributes. The result is a natively compiled module that can be loaded into the regular Python interpreter. Cython can be used both to eliminate bottlenecks and for conveniently wrapping C/C++ libraries.
