CFP Outline

an outline for talks to be submitted to PaperCall.io

OVERVIEW

This document is a collection of resources and helpful information for writing a good CFP. Many of the notes and tips are direct quotes from the resources listed below. They are mostly notes I took as I read. The outline itself is formatted for PaperCall.io, and the italicized notes are from their site as well.

# Instruct the interpreter to create a network request and create an object representing the request state. This can be done using the urllib module.

import urllib.request
import tarfile
thetarfile = "http://file.tar.gz"
ftpstream = urllib.request.urlopen(thetarfile)
thetarfile = tarfile.open(fileobj=ftpstream, mode="r|gz")
thetarfile.extractall()

# The ftpstream object is a file-like that represents the connection to the ftp server. Then the tarfile module can access this stream. Since we do not pass the filename, we have to specify the compression in the mode parameter.
