Development Sprints
WHEN WILL SPRINTS TAKE PLACE?
Monday, April 24, 2023 8:00am – Thursday, April 27, 2023 11:00pm - Sprints will be held in the 250 and 251 rooms and are free to attend with a PyCon US registration. NOTE: Please be familiar with the PyCon US Health & Safety Guidelines. Sprint days are part of the conference and only registered attendees of PyCon US can participate due to the guidelines put in place for the 2023 conference.
Development sprints are a key part of PyCon US, and a chance for the contributors to open-source projects to get together face-to-face for four days of intensive learning, development and camaraderie. Newbies sit with gurus, go out for lunch and dinner together, and have a great time while advancing their project.
WHAT'S A SPRINT?
PyCon US Development Sprints are four days of intensive learning and development on an open source project of your choice, in a team environment. It's a time to come together with colleagues, old and new, to share what you've learned and apply it to an open source project.
In the crucible of a sprint room, teaming with both focus and humor, it's a time to test, fix bugs, add new features, and improve documentation. And it's a time to network, make friends, and build relationships that go beyond the conference.
PyCon US provides the space and infrastructure (network, power, tables & chairs); you bring your skills, humanity, and brainpower (oh! and don't forget your computer).
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
You! All experience levels are welcome; sprints are a great opportunity to get connected with, and start contributing to your favorite Python project. Participation in the sprints is free and included in your conference registration. Please go to your attendee profile on your dashboard and indicate the number of sprint days you will be attending.
WHO CAN RUN A SPRINT?
You! If you've never run a sprint before, the In-Person Event Handbook is an excellent guide.
Please edit this page and add your project according to the instructions below.
WHAT'S THE SCHEDULE?
Sprints run all day from Monday, April 24th through Thursday, April 27th. That's 8:00am to 11:00pm. Lunch will be provided
WHERE WILL THE SPRINTS BE?
The Sprints will take place at the Salt Palace Convention Center. Each Sprinting project will claim its own room or if the room is large enough, it will share the space with other Sprinting Projects.

Taipy
Have you ever wanted to be a part of an open-source data science project? Be proud of something you helped built? Come and join us on this super Data Science funny sprint! By the end of a sprint day, we must have an application built with Taipy that will be put on the website as an open-source reference. It will be shared on our social media, mentioning your name. And you will win super goodies! Still don't know about Taipy? It is a low-code Python package for building Data Science applications with two components: Taipy Core and Taipy GUI. Taipy Core manages scenarios, models, and metrics, while Taipy GUI creates interactive user interfaces. Together, they simplify turning prototypes into production-ready applications, compared to other standard graphical and back-end stacks. We recommend looking at the Getting Started (https://docs.taipy.io/en/latest/getting_started/) of Taipy, but any level of experience is welcomed! Submitted by Florian | Anchor link
Conda and Friends
Conda is a multi-platform and language agnostic packaging and runtime environment management ecosystem used by over 30 million people.

Memray
Memray is the endgame Python memory profiler. Memray tracks and reports memory allocations, both in Python code and in compiled extension modules. It can generate several different types of reports to help you analyze the captured memory usage data. While commonly used as a CLI tool, it can also be used as a library to perform more fine-grained profiling tasks. There are a few beginner friendly issues available to be picked up. Note that Memray does not support Windows, so you'll need to use WSL or another virtual machine in order to sprint from a Windows machine. Submitted by Matt | Anchor link
PyStack
PyStack is a tool that uses forbidden magic to let you inspect the traceback of a running Python process or a Python core dump, helping you quickly and easily learn what it's doing — or what it was doing when it crashed — without having to interpret nasty CPython internals. There are several beginner-friendly items available to work on, but PyStack only supports Linux, so you'll need a Linux machine in order to contribute — WSL or another virtual machine will work!
