1. Presentation:

Python's hidden friends // Cristián Maureira-Fredes
Python's ecosystem is one of the best out there, and this is mainly due to its community and what lies inside its core, a C API. Being partially in C enables Python to interact with many languages out there which might be known by you like C++, Rust or Zig. But how does it work? On this talk, you will be able to understand how Python can embrace the power and performance of other languages, in order to expose modules that improve the whole ecosystem.

2. Presentation:

Hidden Gems in the Python Standard Library // Levi Borodenko

Import graphlib, import webbrowser, or import this? There's a wealth of utility beneath the surface of Python's extensive standard library. In this talk, we'll navigate through a curated selection of the mostly useful—and surprisingly overlooked—features nestled within Python's core modules.

3. Presentation:

Python as Language and Language as Code // Daniel Rios

We use language to communicate with with others, expressing ourselves in infinite ways. However programming languages are also a means of communication, whether to ourselves in the future or our teammates building features and fixing bugs alongside us. Here we will focus on Language as language, Python as a language, an it's relation to plain language, as well as why plain language will never replace code.
