eGenix at PyCon UK 2007

eGenix Talks at PyCon UK
We will again be contributing two talks to conference. Both presentations will be available for download after the conference from our Presentations and Talks section.
Please refer to the PyCon UK talk schedule for details on times and location.
Parsing Languages with mxTextTools
mxTextTools comes with a high performance Tagging Engine for text and Unicode data which can be used to tokenize and parse (little) languages. The resulting abstract syntax tree can then be hooked up to a generator to build a complete and fast compiler in pure Python. The talk will give a short introduction to the way the mxTextTools Tagging Engine works and how it can be used to build compilers. mxTextTools is an eGenix Open Source product available as part of the eGenix mx Base Distribution.Marc-Andre Lemburg, CEO of eGenix, will be giving this presentation.
Developing Unicode-aware Applications in Python
The talk presents ways of designing Python applications to be Unicode-aware from ground up. After a short introduction to Unicode, the talk touches upon issues with auto-conversion, detection of character sets, ways to deal with storage of Unicode data (in databases, text files, spreadsheets, etc.). We also present the idea of an online translation manager that collects string to be translated and provides ways to have them translated to various languages. This technique has been put to good use in a large financial trading system platform.
Marc-Andre Lemburg, CEO of eGenix, will be giving this presentation.
Enjoy !
