[Pythonmac-SIG] PyCon 2005 (original) (raw)

Hey all --

I'm thinking of proposing a talk at PyCon 2005 about MacPython, and I'd like to run my idea by the list:

As I see it, there are three killer features in MacPython that you can't get anywhere else: PyObjC, CoreGraphics, and scripting with appscript. Given that 30 or 45 minutes won't be nearly enough to talk about all three, I'm thinking of focusing on the general topic of "scripting OS X" using appscript and CoreGraphics (AFAIK there's been a number of "Intro to PyObjC" talks given in the past, and I don't really want to reinvent the wheel).

If there's anyone else proposing a talk at PyCon, I'd like to avoid stepping on any toes (as far as I'm concerned, the more MacPython talks the better), so if this overlaps/competes with your cool idea, please let me know.

Jacob
