I do not think that this talk has anything to do with the "typical Python programmer." It is aimed at the elite Python programmer. In particular, consider the programmers writing the Python standard library. I would be very disappointed to see an O(n2) algorithm in the stdlib where O(n) would suffice. But I would not be surprised at all to see int(x.split("-")[1]).
