Python All The Things

par Russell Keith-Magee; publié 14 August 2016

We’re familiar with Python as a scripting language, as a web server language, as a data analysis language, and as a teaching language. But is that the limit of where Python can be used? What is the future for Python on other platforms? Is the prospect of using Python on those platforms a novelty, or a viable way to fend off an existential threat to the language? And how does this threat intersect with other threats we have to our community, and to our industry?

500 Lines: A Python Interpreter Written in Python

publié Allison Kaptur; 12 July 2016

Byterun is a Python interpreter implemented in Python. Through my work on Byterun, I was surprised and delighted to discover that the fundamental structure of the Python interpreter fits easily into the 500-line size restriction. This chapter will walk through the structure of the interpreter and give you enough context to explore it further. The goal is not to explain everything there is to know about interpreters—like so many interesting areas of programming and computer science, you could devote years to developing a deep understanding of the topic.

Beyond Web 2.0 - Django and Python in the modern web ecosystem

par Russell Keith-Magee; publié 1 April 2016

Django is over 10 years old; but the web that it was built for - the world of "Web 2.0" - doesn't really exist any more. Yes, we still need to rapidly develop database-backed websites, AJAX-enabled, but the modern web is faced with new problems and new challenges. Many of those challenges involve interacting with devices that aren't desktop machines, and platforms that aren't a traditional browser - places where Python isn't a first-class citizen.

Does this mean we have to abandon Django and Python for other frameworks and languages? Can we keep using Python and Django on the server side and interact with independent client side frameworks? Or can we push Python and Django into these new environments?

In this talk, Dr Russell Keith-Magee will explore the problems, and the potential solutions, to these problems.

Python on the Move: The state of mobile Python

par Russell Keith-Magee; publié 2 August 2015

Over the last 5-10 years, the "desktop/server" split that dominated computing in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s has been joined by a third player - mobile devices such as phones and tablets.

So, what is the story for running Python on these devices? Although there hasn't been much to say in the past, the good news is that over the last year, there's been some signficant changes in the landscape, and Python on Mobile is now teetering on the brink of being a genuine reality.

In this talk, Dr Russell Keith-Magee will survey the current state of using Python on mobile devices, the work that is currently being done, areas where more work is required, and the prospects for the future.
