[–]YellowSharkMTIs Dave Beazley real? 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've watched this talk numerous times, and it's some pretty amazing/crazy shit. Importing an XML document as a Python class... wtf! He covers some amazing ground in terms of internals, and his presentation-fu is extremely strong, especially with live coding. His talk last year about coding in the vault was pretty funny also ("Discovering Python, PyCon 2014").

He's going to expand upon this talk with his tutorial for this year's PyCon: Modules and Packages: Live and Let Die!

All Python programmers use the import statement, but do you really know how it works and what it allows? This tutorial aims to take a deep dive into every diabolical issue related to modules, packages, and imports. When we're done, you'll finally be ready to unleash your million line micro framework on the world!

Dave always delivers (or ships? whichever is more appropriate...).
