What we’re about
The Bay Area Python Interest Group (BAyPIGgies) was formed in July 1999. Although we use MeetUp.com for advertising to new members, our governance and main communication happens at https://baypiggies.net/ and https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/baypiggies.
We meet the fourth Thursday of every month from 7:00pm - 9:00pm (except on November and December where we make special arrangements for the holidays). We are always looking for new speakers. Please reach out to our current organizers (Karen Dalton or Bill Deegan) if you would like to give a talk. You don't have to be an expert programmer to give a talk.

**** Lightning talk *****
-- "PyCon 2024 Highlights" presented by Chris Brousseau
PyCon 2024 is in Pittsburgh, PA this year, ending just a few days before this meetup. Chris is attending again this year, and will bring back some of the most exciting news and highlights for you.Chris is Founder of Surface Owl and data science consultant focused on data engineering, NLP and visualizations.
**** Short talk *****
-- "Developing Full Stack Web Apps in Python with Reflex" presented by Joel DodsonReflex is an extensive python library of UI components, formerly known as Pynecone. Reflex helps you create custom components by wrapping React components, and then automatically creates backend integration with FastAPI and SQLAlchemy. Think "Single button-click deployment". Come see this exciting addition to the python web universe.
Joel (https://linkedin.com/in/joeldodson) is a software developer with over 20 years of experience building distributed platforms for telecom, voice and messaging applications, and APIs. He lost his sight in 2017 and has been learning front end development with a focus on accessibility. He's a big fan of Python but struggling to see it being used more for web development.
**** Main talk *****
-- "Pandas & Pyspark for timeseries data processing from instrument data." presented by Aaron Wiegel
Time-series data from scientific instruments is often stored in unusual formats that prevent their easy ingestion into databases and subsequent reporting of lab operational metrics. Furthermore, the scale of the data produced, even at the level of an individual experiment, is too large for the row-oriented databases of most traditional SaaS laboratory information management systems (LIMS) to process in a meaningful timeframe. Thankfully, tools like Pandas and PySpark, in conjunction with a data lake, can help transform and ingest this data and enable these analyses at scale.Aaron is a former physical chemist turned data engineer who has worked at a couple different biotech startups in the Bay Area for the last 7 years. He also does his own scientific experiments at home brewing beer in his garage.
