the South American adventure at the various PyCon is
(unfortunately) coming to an end for me, so I wanted to share with our
community the presentations and the tutorials I have given during the
past two weeks. The list, summaries and download links of the
wxPython-related stuff are here:
I basically had 2 keynote talks on wxPython (Argentina and Brasil)
plus a talk on the use of Python in the oil industry (Argentina and
Uruguay). There is a one-hour tutorial (Argentina) and a four-hours
one (Brasil), both for beginners and both in HTML/Sphinx style.
Please do share your comments.
Coming back to an issue I raised a few months ago on this mailing
list, I wanted to say that during every tutorial and after every talk
I have given, in all three countries, people asked me why I was
suggesting to use wxPython 2.9.X, as it is "unstable". I told them
that the whole story of stable/unstable is just an unfortunate
classification/definition of the odd/even-numbered versions, but the
fact that so many attendees asked exactly the same question might
suggest that we really need to revise our approach on the
nomenclature...
Thanks for the correction, should now be fixed on my website. I am
happy you enjoyed the presentations

Thanks very much for making it available along with the examples,
Andrea. It's very much appreciated.
Thank you, I am glad you liked it. As an update, it appears that the
Uruguayans were lighting-fast in sharing the videos recorded during
PyUy, and my talk "Oily Python: a Reservoir Engineering Perspective"
is actually already available on YouTube:
I have to apologize for a couple of things:
1. Moving around: but I was told I was free to do it, and my Italian
blood does not play well with the sentence "stay still";
2. My crappy English.
As usual, comments welcome
Andrea.
"Imagination Is The Only Weapon In The War Against Reality."
I think that Andrea's work in PyConAr was recorded too, but it's still
pending of post-production to post it on the web. So luckily we're going to
have access to the streams in a short term (provided that Andrea has an
agreement with the conference so they can broadcast them).
It was recorded (both the tutorial and the two presentations), and
actually Mariano already uploaded the keynote on wxPython on YouTube:
My English is still crappy but I hope you will enjoy the presentation
nevertheless
Andrea.

This is the tutorial, thanks to Plablo M Mana that recorded those:

Your English is fine (even better for some of us that also is our
second language ...).
But, if anyone wants to send us a transcription or a subtitle, we can
add it and translate to Spanish (Alan Etkin is working on that).
Thank you for your presence at PyCon Argentina 2012, and thanks to the
whole wx community for this great toolkit!
