QnA:
Why a Thursday?
- This was ongoing for a long time, we decided to open it
- The person conducting the session is available at that time
- It’s school holidays, students might be interested
- Our weekends are booked for other Python events
Why at Vacoas?
- Adalabs opened their space for us, but in case over venues want to host the sessions, it’s very welcomed
I already know the basics, is it still worthwhile for me?
- There are always some here and there explanations which you might benefit.

- Yes, we’ll just increase the depth. Python is deep, really deep, we’ll just go deeper. It depends if you want to invest in learning Python.

June 2019 @ La Turbine
For this month, we’ve chosen a topic: Web Scraping.
Come and learn from scratch, no passive presentations. The web is an information gold mine. From tools to forgotten data, you have more than you can handle. But, you need to know how to grab what you need. You might have had to
❌ each time search a website and fill some sheets or
❌ wait for a particular info to change or
❌ do some simple lookups on a badly designed website You’ll be delighted to know that those tasks can be automated.
Imagine planning a complex trip without ever opening your browser to check timings … Why constantly check for the cheapest air fare when you can have a script do it for you? Web Scraping is a MOST POWERFUL and RELEVANT skill to have in the info age. This month we’ve chosen a variety of tools and topics to cover, not basics but not fine-grained, advanced issues. Here’s what to expect:
| Topic | Speaker |
|---|---|
| Dissecting HTML Documents | Kherin Bundhoo |
| Basics of BeautifulSoup | Kherin Bundhoo |
| Recon with Requests | Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer |
| Scraping with Selenium | Dominique Theodore |
| Django as Dashboard (while using Scrapy) | Namgyal Brisson |
| What to Watch out for … | disclosing soon |
| Displaying Data … | disclosing soon |
| Feeding On Facts | Codarren Velvindron |
We are dedicated to teach and promote Python, we don’t like our attendees to leave without SKILLING UP. That’s why we are doing it heavily HANDS-ON.
That means the code stays with you even after the event if you have any question. For queries, suggestions and Python updates, find us here: https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/pymug.python.org/
