When

Monday, November 10, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Where

Champaign Public Library, Foundation Conference Room (222, on the second floor)

Agenda

Main presentation

Elizabeth Wickes will present “How I stopped failing at Jeopardy!,” a follow-up to a previous talk about her game show data scraping and analysis project. The focus will be on the technical process of data scraping along with a summary of the results. Topics will include Scrapy (a Python web crawling framework), regular expressions, and XPath (a query language for addressing locations in an XML-based document).

And, as always:

• Today I Learned
• Birds of a feather (informal ad-hoc discussion groups)
• “Business” stuff, including Meetup sponsorships
• We’ll wrap up by planning the next meeting, so stick around if you want to participate in Py-CU as an organizer.
  
  

Planning ahead:

The next meeting will be Monday, December 8, 6:30 - 9:00 PM, Foundation Conference Room (222), Champaign Public Library
