What is PyCon?

PyCon Taiwan is organized by the Taiwan Python community for the community. PyCon Taiwan is intended to provide a professional venue to exchange technical information of Python. We want to clone the experience of PyCon (US), the largest annual gathering of Python programmers, in Taiwan, and bring the joy to more people.

PyCon Taiwan 2012 will also stress on industrial applications of Python. We hope to connect the community, including the business members, and further develop the technology in Taiwan.

Please mark your calendar for PyCon Taiwan and join us in June 9th and 10th.

What I am interested to participate in for the current programs:

• fabric – deployment tool
• Clime: Simply CLI-ize Your Program!
• What You See Is Not What You Get - Metaclass
• CyberLink Meets Python
• QtQuick GUI Programming with PySide
• 'FUSE'ing Python for rapid development of storage efficient file-system

For more information, go to see the official PyCon Taiwan 2012.

意外發現的洋裝 (3D Ribs Dress)...

Python, the so-called scripting language but actually more than that, keeps sweeping this CG/Animation/VFX/Game industries in technical programming field. The bigger the stronger. I even start to doubt if PyPy could take over this situation one day by it's natural power of strength in concurrent programming.

由 Aardman Animations 與 Sony Pictures Animation 合力製作，於 2011 年放映的動畫。《聖誕快遞》揭示了一個令人難以置信、以前從未見過的答案，關於每一個孩子都曾有過的問題：“究竟聖誕老人是如何在一個晚上送完這些禮物？”答案是：聖誕老人在北極擁有超高科技的協助！但是，電影中心是關於一個家庭的故事，一個有漫畫功能障礙和一個不太可靠的主角阿瑟，一個緊迫的任務，一個必須在聖誕節前黎明的晨光前完成的任務。

Ok, 重點其實不是這部動畫，而是 Aardman Animations 這家動畫公司。這家位於 far far away（相對於台灣搭飛機過去所需要的時間來看）的大不列顛王國的動畫公司，一位技術研發人員於 2010 年釋出了一則有趣的訊息出來：Photoshop Embedded Python Pipeline。把整個 Python 給整合進 Photosthop 裏頭，提供 python programmer 一個管道，可以直接透過寫 python script 來與 PS 互動。放出來的一些圖，示範了可能的互動：

Siggraph Asia 2011 結束後，我收到了一則問卷調查，裏頭有兩則有趣的問題，特別抓了張圖下來，結果就一直擺在電腦裏頭沒有理會了。剛剛才發現它們十足礙眼地躺在桌面上，提醒我要處理（??）一下。
