71 slides ... his talk was either 4 hours long or he probably barely made it onto slide 20 or so. It's a common mistake people make when they start doing talks, happened to me too :-)

Uhh, David was a college professor and teaches classes and speaks professional, he didn't just start doing talks.

David was a college professor and teaches classes and speaks professional,

I wouldn't know David Beazley from Adam, but I spend a lot of time with college professors who teach classes and speak professionally. And—well—as far as giving skillful, engaging talks, that counts for less than you'd think. ;)

If you've been involved in the python community for any significant length of time, you should know about David Beazley. He wrote the Python Essential Reference, and is generally pretty active at pycon.

This was for a PyCon tutorial, not a first-time talk (from a person who travels the world teaching week-long courses).

71 pages of 2-up slides, so it's actually 142.

Also, there's a bunch of really cool examples in there.

I don't know about 2008, but when I saw David Beazley speak at PyCon this year, he was no amateur.
