RocPy meet up 11/18

This is a blogpost about the RocPy meet up I attended on November 18th with my HFOSS class. The meet up started by Richard with a brief description of the RocPy and a recap of what we left from last time.

threebean provided a very interesting "module of the month" where he went over a module from the Python standard library each month. This time he gave a talk on itertools which is a module that implements a number of iterator building blocks inspired by constructs from APL, Haskell, and SML. He showed the module with a couple examples of how to use itertools in a project.

Awesome lighting talks provided by Alex Kyle(akyle), Matt Soucy(msoucy), Ross Delinger(rossdylan) and Ralph Bean(three bean). Very interesting and useful presentation!

The main talk for this RocPy was about embedding Python in a C application. The level of the talk was way beyond me and somewhat dry. imo it could be summed in a much better way and save more time.

Overall I'm starting to like RocPy more and more. I hope as I get more and more involved with these topics I could start to understand them better.
