Python meetup

Hello!

August is, as you know, the “last car” for those who want to have time to go “to the south”. Not being afraid of the holiday season, we decided to hold a third mitap on the near-python themes. Moreover, the topics of the reports were lucky. We looked at the behavior of some dangerous constructions in Python, tried out the functional programming style, and examined the dictionaries in Python. In addition, Nikita Lesnikov was among the speakers with the second part of his presentation on the internals of the Python interpreter. All videos of these reports - right now on youtube-screens under the cut.

1. " Unobvious behavior of some structures " - Maxim Nikolaenko niko83 , Wargaming

')
The story about dangerous constructions in Python, without knowing about the features of which, you can spend a couple of hours to debug. Hot on the heels was written a detailed article on the report, which can be read in Maxim 's blog here .

2. " Python - try the functional style " - Andrey Zhlobich anjensan , Wargaming


Is it possible to program in Python in a functional style? The report provides a brief overview of the libraries and techniques that will help use the FI. The following topics are covered: dealing with side effects, higher order functions, closures, recursion, working with lazy sequences.

3. “ Dictionary in Python ” - Cyril Lashkevich notorca , Viber


A talk about why Python has more dictionaries than it seems and how they work.

4. “ A quick overview of the internals of the Python interpreter (part II) ” - Nikita Foresters, Wargaming


The report describes the low-level features of Python code execution. Various trade-offs between speed and security, which are dictated by the architecture of the interpreter, are considered. It also shows the best practices for integration and optimization, which may be useful to users of the language from different areas.

Very soon (September 27) will be the next Python Meetup. All the details and "how to get" can be found on our page in the FB . Waiting for everybody! See you!
