An advanced tour of the python language and stdlib
Python is well known for coming "batteries included", with a very rich and helpful standard library.
Some usages of it are not well understood (Metaclasses, descriptors), and some others just unknown (co-routines). The goal is to go trough most of them, with examples of when they can simplify your life as a developer.
This session will try to go trough some of the most amazing and useful python features I found by asking long-time python users for the best unknown features they can think about.
Let's dive into python and its advanced techniques that can change your everyday life!
