Have your Python skills have hit a plateau? Come learn from Python core developer and consultant Raymond Hettinger about the tips and tricks needed to move up to the next level.

Abstract

This tutorial will work through a series of real-world examples, showing how an understanding of the tools built into the Python interpreter or included in the standard library can be combined to solve difficult problems clearly and Pythonically. We will also discuss when and how to reach beyond the standard library when needed to address difficult algorithmic and optimization problems. This can be taken as a stand-alone session or in conjunction with the second session; the two sessions will be complementary.
