Are you ready for some concurrent Python?!?



This week we will have James Dennis (@j2labs (https://twitter.com/j2labs)) present a talk on Brubeck (http://brubeck.io/), an open-source Python web framework which he started and maintains. Brubeck (http://brubeck.io/) is really fast, scalable, and friendly to use. It's a more minimal framework compared to Django, and actually supports nonblocking I/O with the use of Eventlet (http://eventlet.net/). So, it's an interesting alternative to the other available Python frameworks.



You can read about all the details about Brubeck at http://brubeck.io/



Please have Python 2.7.x installed before the talk. If you're on Mac OS X you will already have Python by default, but it's necessary to have Xcode (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) and its command line tools installed (go to Preferences, then Downloads in Xcode to install the command line tools).



If you're on Windows you can follow my guide on installing Python here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EpaUL8biFdg4ZOc0cNgeNN9GP5ogF0uezYjWZa9o_hk/edit), but you will also need ZeroMQ, which is one of Brubeck's dependencies, and that requires Visual C++ 2008 (http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2010-Visual-CPP) or newer. So if you don't have that, then it's better to install Ubuntu on your machine.



The talk will start at 5:30. See you there!
