Hi, everybody. I'm a CPython core developer and I propose you to join me this weekend to sprint on CPython. So, for the people who don't know CPython is the C implementation of Python. It's half written in C and half in Python. So, you don't have to know the C language to contribute. And if you don't want to touch the code, you can also

just have a look at what people are doing. You can help on the documentation. There are many, many things to do. And I think we will be something like four or five core developers this weekend. Which is quite impressive. So, if you would like to get something merged,

just come because we are many people who are able to match something. And there

are a few more. There is Steve and maybe some other people are going to join us for the sprint. I have no specific plan myself. My plan is just to help you to get on board on CPython. Because it's more difficult to contribute to Python than to any other

project. Because Python has a very long history. We spend a lot of time to make sure that we don't break the backward compatibility. We have high quality standards. And because of that, it's more difficult to get something merged in CPython. But the idea for tomorrow

is to show you what we do and help you to get some changes merged. So, that's it. Thank you! Okay. Next is Nicole. We all know Nicole. Warehouse plans. Nicole? Okay. The next team

is MicroPython. Oh, you're coming. Sorry. I just wanted to. No, no, sorry. I just want to alert the next team. And Michael, please just get in line here, then. There you go.

Hello. Hello. Welcome, Nicole. So, as you know, I work on the warehouse project. And we're running sprints all weekend. So, on our issue tracker, we have specifically noted particular issues that are great for

EuroPython. Things that we know that we can move forward on. And we're looking for contributions from all experience levels. So, as I said during my talk, we've put a lot of work into making the codebase easy to install. I hope relatively easy to install.

And we do. We have issues everything from upgrading the documentation to obviously doing more complex things. So, we would really like to have your contribution. I would also like if anyone is interested, I would like some people to maybe volunteer to help me with

making sure that the project can be installed as well. So, I'm only one person. And it's very difficult to sort of troubleshoot things if there's any problems. So, if you're interested in being one that person or perhaps a couple of people to help with that, that would be really great. Yeah. That's about it. So, check out the warehouse issue

tracker. So, it's on GitHub slash PyPA slash warehouse. And you'll be able to see all of the issues that are tagged for EuroPython. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. We have one more. Okay. So, we can start with the lightning talks.

Try to stay short, like two minutes. Is that okay? For all the others. Sorry, we're running late. But we have like only 30 lightning talks, maybe. So, okay. The next is then Daniel Pope. Oh, sure. So, I'd like to propose we sprint on

MicroPython and CircuitPython. I'm only here tomorrow, not on Sunday, but I'm sure there are more MicroPython people here who can continue that for Sunday. So, we can show you how to start with MicroPython, how to flash it onto your

device and how to start building things with it. Also, we can show you how to extend it either in Python or in C. How to compile your own firmware and so on. And how to write drivers for custom hardware that you might be

acquiring somehow. And last but not least, we can write a simple game for one of the devices that I have with me. So, there are also emulators for those. So, we can write that in emulator later.

Okay. Thank you. Okay. Game is also like a really good word. Because game is Daniel's name. Next is Thomas. Hello, I'm Daniel. If you were here two years ago, well, you know, not here, but in Bilbao, you would have heard me talk about Pygame Zero,

which is an educational games framework. Well, I'm running a sprint on educational games and games and other educational projects. So, I have these cool stickers for Pygame Zero that I designed. And they're game pads. And, you know, obviously that means gaming. And it's got a Python logo on it. But I forgot that Pygame Zero

doesn't have game pad support. So, I'm adding that in the sprints. And so, there are lots of other projects. If you come along, you will be able to get one of these stickers. It's the only way you can get one of these stickers during this conference. And so, Pygame Zero,

there is a greenfield project called Crypto Zero. So, I'd really like to collaborate on Crypto Zero with somebody. So, you could own that as well. Pyweek is a games programming contest. I now run that. And the website is unmaintained. So, or has been lacking

maintenance over a long time. So, to make that so, one of the goals would be to make it more accessible for complete beginners to participate in Pyweek. There is a 3D MMO in the browser

called The Dark World that could be an educational project. And I have an educational games framework called, or text adventure games framework called AdventureLib. So, this sprint is accessible to, you know, you don't need to be a great programmer to participate in this. You could do translations or anything. Because the more kids who can understand how to

use these things, the more programmers will have with us in future years here at EuroPython. Thank you. So, next in line, Davide. Okay. This is a small demo of Borg backup. As the name

says, it's a Borg backup program. You can backup files with it. And if you are not completely happy with your

current backup solution, you maybe want to have a look at this. Because it's in Python, we use also Cython and C. It deduplicates, it encrypts, and it compresses your backups. It also authenticates your backups so nobody can

do something weird with them. For example, if you store them on some untrusted server. And in the sprints, we want to work on some tickets. Maybe close some issues. There are also some research tickets. For example, there is currently trouble on Python 3.7. Some

unit tests are suddenly failing that did not fail on 3.6. And there is a similar issue on PyPy. There are also some tests failing that are not failing on Python 3.6. So if you want to help researching this, you could also work on that. So if you want to

get into it, I can show you the code base. Or if you want to just try it and have some issue, just come by. In the background, you see how it's creating the first backup. So that's quite a normal thing. The next one after this will be more interesting because then you see the effect of

deduplication. So you see the first backup was 114 megabytes in size. And now there is a small change in the data. And now it's just creating another backup. And you will see the deduplicated size on the right is the interesting part. And also

the time it takes. You see it's much faster than the first one. And it only produced 45 kilobytes because most of the data was still the same. So it's a quite space efficient backup. Okay, if that's interesting for you, just come by and help me

improving it, fixing it, whatever. Thank you. Okay, Vindle, please get in line. And now please welcome Davida.

Hi everyone. Those days I discovered I'm not the only one who loves TRIO. So now we are two. I got a buddy. And so we are enough. So it's quite enough to start a poly sprint. And so maybe some of you like TRIO and I don't know about it yet.

So if so, just come to see me just after the talks. Just I will buy you a beer. And if tomorrow you're here, let's just continue talking, do the sprint. If you know nothing about asynchronous programming but just curious, you just can come. And yeah, basically that's it. We will sprint on

TRIO and have fun. Okay, please Michael, come in line and please welcome Vindle. Hello everyone. I wanted to sprint on Rust Python

on Saturday. So if you want to learn about Rust and help bring Rust Python more in line with CPython 3.7, please help. There's still things to do. That was quick. Okay, Thomas, please get in line.

Please welcome Michael. So first of all, I'm sorry, I made a mistake in

editing the wiki. So somehow my name also appeared at the MicroPython sprint. So sorry, Radomir, I'm sorry about that. But I had already the intention to help you, Radomir. So okay, can you see something? Yep, fine.

So this is a small notebook application. It's called red notebook. And I'm not the inventor of this tool, but I use it already for years now and I like it a lot. And I see some issues

there and some things that I like to add. So I'm going to sprint. If you like, you can also help me in these sprints. And yeah, what else? Sorry, I'm a bit out of order currently. So it's also, of course, it's Python, it's

GTK-free. You can run it on Windows, Linux, and Mac. And yeah, it has also a source page on SourceForge and of course also GitHub repository where the code is hosted. So the things that I like to add there is

YAML. Sorry, I like to replace YAML by playing text files. I like to add markdown and pure text output, some updates in the GUI and maybe some other things that are open in the open issues. What might be interesting,

we will be using GTK-free, Deglade, ICUI Builder, WebKit, markdown syntax, and of course PyTest with the addition of magic mocks from unit tests. Okay, I would be happy if somebody likes to help me. If not, I'm also fine with that. So you can

also go for sightseeing. I will be also around in Edinburgh for the next two weeks, for the next week. And if you like, you can get in touch, then you can go do sightseeing together. Thanks, sorry.

Thomas is next. Thomas Iglesia. Romain, the stage is yours. Okay, Thomas is not around. So if you're around, please report to me. Please

welcome Romain and Romain is afterwards. Please get in line. Romain. Thank you. So I'll sprint on Bonobo ETL. Some of you may have seen my talk where I introduced a bit the tool, but for those who don't know, it's a extract

transform load framework, which basically means it takes data from basically anywhere and transform it and put it somewhere else. Pretty generic, said like this. But it's pretty simple. It's your standard Python, like callable, iterators to define how the transformation are made. We combine that into graphs and then the data streams through this graph. Maybe it's

completely cryptic, but I'll be around and it's very open to any kind of experience, whether you're a Python beginner or Python expert, whether you already use Bonobo a lot or not at all. You're very welcome. It's a very good way to discover the thing and discover all the easy things that you

could do to help on the framework. So yeah, I'd be able for anything to help and I hope you'll join and try this. Thank you. Hey, please welcome Ronan.

Hi, so I'm Ronan. I'm a co-dev of PyPy and we'll be sprinting this weekend on PyPy, mostly I think on implementing Python 3.6. We have a

branch open and there are quite a lot of test failures to fix, so basically if you come to the sprint you'll get to have an introduction to PyPy. You'll

get to, well it's a very good opportunity to learn how it works because I know it can be overwhelming for newcomers. But it's actually quite easy to make small changes to PyPy. So, well that's it. If you're

interested in PyPy, just come and see me tomorrow. Okay, please welcome Alex and Stefan. They want to sprint on EuroPython. Okay, we are a very good event, great conference, but we have a very

good website and we have a lot of bugs, sorry. And we need your help. We are looking for some skills. If you're an expert with Django, please come on. If you're an expert with Ansible, we need your skill. And for us, just that.

That would be good. And you? So, well, I've done the badges for the conference. Apart from the bugs we have on the website to

get the profiles of you, there are some other processes to generate these. If you liked the badges, if you hate the badges, if you didn't get the right badge, if you had to write your name on your badge, if you needed, if you

want emojis on the badges, join me in the EuroPython sprint. I will be tomorrow and Sunday morning. Yeah, that's it.

All right. I'm going to talk about my Shapiro sprint. What Shapiro, it's a Python module for lexicon-based sentiment analysis, so essentially it extracts opinions from natural language text, and it's currently a byproduct of a master thesis I'm considering to turn it into a real project. It's named after Dr. Shapiro from the movie

Morgan, who asks the protagonist, tell me how you feel, which kicks off eventual events. And the current state, there's some working code. I did a talk about it. I started a cleaned up Heiskefeld project. There's a repository and an issue tracker. Well, basically what does it do? It uses spaCy to

do the language processing and then sets up on spaCy and tries to figure out if people are giving positive or negative comments. So how does this look? If you have some code, you run a sentence through it. The schnitzel was not very tasty. The waiter was polite. The football game ended 2-1, and it extracts your opinions. Well, the

food is somewhat bad. The service is good, and I have no idea what football is. So what's a schnitzel? That's a schnitzel. And I have compiled a list of possible tasks. Oh, that's a different window. Sorry. I hope there's time for that.

No. Conspiracy. So there's a list of some tasks we could do. Some of them are simple, just to integrate the project

into continuous integration. Some of them are things like detecting idioms, like this leaves something to be desirable. This is awful. Things like that. Also, improve lexicon. It works with German and English. Maybe some other languages based on Latin also work. We could use modals like

short and could. And maybe there's even, if there's someone around who's interested in it, we could do a parser to define languages in an abstract grammar that indicates positive and negative ratings, which basically is what the literature does. So if you're interested in it, join me tomorrow.
