[1] Some notes on the costs

We are able to provide very attractive prices for these copies compared to printing them yourself from the PDF in your country. We decided to have a unique price for all destinations to simplify the process and treat our world as one. The actual difference in costs is leveled by the resulting refund.

We compared different ways to produce and distribute the brochures worldwide and found out that production and shipping from central Europe is even cheaper for most US destinations because we produce next to the central European UPS and DHL hubs and have cost comparable to inner US long distance shipping. Using local intermediate hubs end up with overall higher cost. We take care for the environment so please order only the required number of copies, but also not less, we need the impact!

Please make sure to look at the Mediadata overview page for the general information.

Order the brochures free for community purposes is normally free of charge!

We are sorry, that currently the first print run of the Vol.1 edition is out of stock due successfull worldwide distribution during this year.

To fund the shipping we need to receive some missing payment and find some additional sponsors for the inside backcover.

The PSF is shipping free copies for Python marketing purposes. These will mostly be used for Python conferences, as well as sent to user groups and community event organizers until the 10,000 copies are used up.

If your user group, school or university is interested in receiving your own copies, e.g. to promote the use of Python, you can order copies of the brochure free of charge. Sending out these free copies is made possible by the generous support of our brochure ad sponsors and the PSF.

Please send us some feedback on how you have used the brochure and
where you have distributed them. Many thanks.

If you are a company or want to use the brochures for commercial purposes, please order via our Company Order Page.

A note on shipping costs: We compared different ways to produce and distribute the brochures worldwide and found out that production and shipping from central Europe is cheaper for most US destinations because we print the brochure close to the central European UPS and DHL hubs and have cost comparable to US long distance shipping. Using local intermediate hubs would result higher overall cost. We take care for the environment, so please only order the required number of copies, but also not less - we need the impact!

Logos of your Company or Organisation

If you are part of a story in the Python Brochure and your logo makes sense in the context we would like to have the best suitable file for it. As you might know, PDF-Files or Printed materials can deliver much higher resolutions than screen media and you can see the difference!

If you have resources for this online simply send us a link or e-mail the files. Consult the following infos on file formats to check first if you meet the specs. Feel free to send an early e-mail for approval.

Photos & Illustration

Photos

Photos need 300dpi (dots/pixels per inch) resolution for printing.

• For a 210mm wide full page photo you need an image width of 210mm /2.54mm(1 inch)x300px~=2480px

• For a 297mm wide full page photo you need an image width of 297mm /2.54mm(1 inch)x300px~=3507px

Add some pixels more for bleed on the page cutting edge. If you have a little bit less its not a drama.

Take some time: If you have only the second best files handy, take the time to ask the internal people at the source if they have access to the original files.

Illustrations

Most of the time vector graphics are the best format for illustration data. If possible try to keep these and avoid converting this into pixels. If you can make PDF, EPS or SVG files from it and you can view a close up zoom in on screen without "jaggies" you are right.

If you can only deliver pixel files take care that the resolution is appropriate. If you have graphs and they are application screenshots the native resolution may fine. If you have scientific diagrams SVG is better if available.

Screenshots

If your application is a website or desktop interface you can produce regular screenshots with your OS tools. If you are on MacOSX or using a webkit browser, you may give webkit2png written in python a try or use the nice paparazzi application on MacOSX to make superior vector based browser shots that scale fantastic in print (except pixel content) and keep text editable if you choose PDF as fileformat (always choose PDF first!).

Paparazzi is written in ObjectiveC based on webkit2png. Version 0.5b6 is usable for production! http://derailer.org/paparazzi/ webkit2png is a commandline tool written by Paul Hammond in pyObjC. http://www.paranoidfish.org/projects/webkit2png/

Type & Fonts (for illustration files)

If fonts are essential for displaying your information (i.e. with symbol fonts or corporate designs), the files may look good on your computer but not on other machines. In this case it is a good idea to make sure you included your fonts properly in a PDF or convert all your type into curves. This avoids loosing the proper styles of your data. On the other hand we may need to change some tables or styles to fit our design. In this case a version with editable text is more suitable for our postprocessing. So the best is providing both:

• A visual correct PDF-File with included fonts or your programs source format with type converted to outline curves.
• A second PDF file with copyable text and your programs source format with regular text and maybe provided fonts if applicable due to license etc.

Slides

We have download acces on slideshare.com . We can read Impress, Keynote and PowerPoint files but the font problems above stay in this case too if you use special fonts not publicly available. If you provide a PDF Version of your slides, make sure no downsampling is applied on your pixel data! If you have vector based source files of important diagrams placed in the slides, please provide the master data in format described above.

Format guidelines

Data format specifications for the Python Brochure Content.

Vector Images (preferred format)

• Please send the vector data as EPS, SVG or PDF format.
• Important: fonts have to be embedded (EPS, PDF) or converted into paths (EPS, PDF, SVG)!

Bitmap Images (suboptimal)

• Acceptable format are JPG, PNG, TIFF, EPS, PSD, GIF
• RGB is fine for bitmap files, but please be aware that we cannot guarantee for correct color reproduction.
• Images have to use 300 DPI, for line graphics 600dpi or more are better.
• Low quality images will be printed as delivered.

Only for Reference Sponsors

On the last page of the Python Brochure, we will list all reference sponsors of the edition using a fixed layout.

There is room for 30 such entries.

Please make sure, that the data in this register is up-to-date and correct!

Service-Provider Data Form
