This is a reminder for the event detailed below.

PYTHON WORKSHOP
Date: Tuesday, June 09, 2009
Time: 6:00pm
Duration: 2 hours
Location: NY Public Library Hudson Park Branch, 66 Leroy St., NY NY 10014

Topics:
  Zed Shaw presents his MTA (Mail Transfer Agent), Lamson, implemented 
  in Python.  Come visit and listen to his experience with using Python
  to create an easy to use, but powerful sendmail replacement.  Visit the
  webpage for his project at http://lamsonproject.org  Lamson's goal is
  to put an end to the hell that is "e-mail application development".
  Rather than stay suck in the 1970s, Lamson adopts modern web
  application framework design and uses a proven scripting language
  (Python).  Avoid aliases forever! Lamson uses friendly regular
  expressions and FSM-based routing.  Lamson uses SQLAlchemy to talk to
  an RDBMS instead of a bizarre combination of flat-files and hashtables!
  Get up and running quickly. Lamson can be installed and running in
  30 seconds.  Lamson is now at the center of Zed's "Python Neglect"
  controversy at http://www.zedshaw.com/blog/2009-05-29.html.
  Zed will most likely be able to take questions after the presentation. 

Description:
  We will continue meeting on a bi-weekly basis at the Hudson Library at
  66 Leroy St New York, NY 10014.

  It is helpful, but not necessary to have a notebook computer.          
  The WiFi at the library works now.                       

Map & Directions:

  We meet in the basement. Enter the library and head to the back. If the
  door is closed when you arrive you can ask the manager of the library for
  the keys to the room if you're comfortable opening up the basement, or
  you can wait for some of the others to arrive.
