Talk Python To Me

Are you fluent in Python or do you speak the language with an accent? Maybe you have a hint of C++ in your for-in loop or even a little C# coming through in your function names.

You've heard of the full-stack developer and full-stack Python, but this week Authentise is taking it to a new level with Python all the way from the cloud to the client to the printer.

It's time to look deep within the machine and understand what *really* happens when your Python code executes. We're code-walking through the CPython code and visualizing it at pythontutor.com.

Is your Python code running a little slow? Did you know that the PyPy runtime could make it run up to 10x faster? Seriously! Maciej Fijalkowski is here to tell us all about it. This episode is all about the alternative, JIT compiled, garbage collection Python implementation PyPy.

What if your computer science textbooks could run their python code samples and that code ran directly in your browser, kinda like JavaScript but better, because: Python. It is possible and Brad Miller is making it happen!

Some of the things we do in life are tedious and boring. It's the kind of thing that machines or robots could do. So let's build those machines!

Often the most important lessons we learn is what NOT to do. Show #18 is all about BAD Python code and Python Antipatterns with Andreas Dewes. Listen in to learn about the "Empty Intern Except Block" and other dubious coding decisions!

How many layers of abstraction and indirection are between your python code and machine instructions? What if that number could be 1 and Python itself was the operating system? That would be so amazing, right?

Right now there is a chaos monkey running through AWS knocking over Netflix servers. But don't be alarmed! It's all part of the plan. This is Talk Python to Me with Roy Rapoport from Netflix and the topic is "Python at Netflix."

A strong community is one of Python's super-powers and that's what this episode of Talk Python To Me is all about! We speak with Lynn Root about her work with Python at Spotify, her role in the PSF as a Python Software Foundation board member, how she came to be the founder of PyLadies San Francisco, her talks and presentations, as well as some excellent open source work she is doing.

It's uncommon when technology and purpose combine to create something amazing. But that's exactly what's happening here a Patreon. Learn how they are using Python to enable an entirely new type of crowdsourcing for creative endeavours (podcasting, art, open source, and more).

Did you know that Flask has its origins in an April fools joke that unexpectedly took off? Listen in this week to hear about the history, current state, and future of Flask with its creator Armin Ronacher. You'll learn how he's using Python as the backend for a set of major computer games. His thoughts on the future of web development and HTTP 2. And why Rust is an amazing new language you should check out.

Quick: What's the difference between a module, a package, and packing in Python? Find out in this episode of Talk Python To Me. All Python programmers use the import statement, but do you really know how it works and what it allows? Join David and Michael to take a deep dive into diabolical issues 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!

Does a computer see in color or black and white? It's time to find out on this episode of Talk Python to Me. Join Adrian Rosebrock as we talk about PyImageSearch, OpenCV, and building computer vision systems with Python and OpenCV.

Did you know that PythonAnywhere started out as the first spreadsheet powered and scripted using Python before it became a hosting and Python-in-your- browser-Service (PiybS)! Come get to know Harry Percival and his path from Economics to PythonAnywhere all the way to Extreme Programming and Obey the Testing Goat.
