July meeting
Date: Monday, July 14th @ 7pm
Princeton Python Monthly: Jul 2025
Happy July!
Our next meeting is a week from Monday!
As usual we will start with a beginner-friendly code opener,
then everyone's introductions/updates;
and finally Mike's links, Python news and the usual mix of the latest tools, testing, and tutorials at https://www.princetonpy.org/next-meeting/.
And as always, your questions/ideas/doings are welcome--so join us!
Lately John's been planning some speech-to-text work on family videos and audio clips, likely using some variant of openai's whisper, with "speaker diarization" via pyannote.
And Mike's looking at redoing our website using wagtail, "the leading open-source Python CMS".
Note our unchanging meeting url--use the Jitsi meeting link on our home page.
But first, check out AI Study Group this Sunday! Likely more on linking agents and models via MCP. But the group is "restarting" in August, details to follow.
