Python-digest # 30. News, interesting projects, articles and interviews [June 2, 2014 - June 8, 2014]

Another news release about python and nearby technologies arrived. This time we'll draw, remember Yekaterinburg's PyCon, experiment with django without installing it on our machine, see how the operations with numeric matrices differ in scientific software packages, see an overview of SOAP libraries, and much more.


Many thanks to owlman75 and axce1 for ... not even help anymore, but the development of a tool that helps to create this digest. By the way, you can add a news / article / release / shortcut.

Write comments to the post, in a personal, put a plus sign or a minus sign, suggest what and how else you can write in the digest, and sometimes there is a feeling of uselessness of the work that we do.
