The good news is that  EuroPython 2009 is coming to sunny Birmingham instead, for 3 days from Tues 30th June to Thurs 2nd July and registration is now open. The even better news is that until 14th March it’s really cheap, like 50% off cheap making the 3 day conference only £95.

As a warm up, from Sunday we have 2 days of tutorials at the bargain price of £70. To close there will be sprints from Friday 3rd July, and in case any Django coders get home sick it all coincides with the Birmingham International Jazz Festival.

My talk on ArcGIS and IronPython has been approved. So I’ll see you there.

The slides, demos and modules for my talk are available for download.

There is material in the download that I didn’t present on the day. The talk covers extracting data from various tabular data formats. This is the first step of an Extract, Transform Load (ETL) operation. It also summaries the character of those data formats.

Comments, queries and suggestions are most welcome.
