PyCon 2019 | Take Back the Web with GraphQL

PyCon 2019 | Take Back the Web with GraphQL Speaker: Robert Myers GraphQL is an exciting technology that can help simplify web logic. Most of the attention has been focused on client-side improvements, such as reducing payload sizes and reducing total number of requests. This talk will show how GraphQL can structure your backend logic to reduce the client-side dependencies or remove them entirely!

PyCon 2019 | How to engage Python contributors in the long term? Tech is easy, people are hard.

PyCon 2019 | How to engage Python contributors in the long term? Tech is easy, people are hard. Speaker: Victor Stinner The CPython project is now 28 years old. It has active core developers, but almost all of them are volunteers. It’s difficult to ask someone to be committed into a project for 5 years without being paid. Helping newcomers and mentoring contributors takes time and few developers are available for that. We are working on improving the diversity of CPython core developers and get more active core developers, but it’s a slow process. Slides can be found…

PyCon 2019 | Design Patterns in Python for the Untrained Eye

PyCon 2019 | Design Patterns in Python for the Untrained Eye Speaker: Ariel Ortiz Design patterns are prepackaged solutions to common software design problems. We get two important benefits when using them. Firstly, we get a way to solve typical software development issues by using a proven solution. Secondly, we get a shared vocabulary that allows us to communicate more effectively with other software designers. Getting acquainted with design patterns is the next step to become a better object oriented programmer. In this tutorial we’ll answer some of the most important questions surrounding design patterns: What are they? How…

PyCon 2019 | Open the Black Box: An Introduction to Model Interpretability in Python

PyCon 2019 | Open the Black Box: An Introduction to Model Interpretability in Python Speaker: Kevin Lemagnen What’s the use of sophisticated machine learning models if you can’t interpret them? In fact, many industries including finance and healthcare require clear explanations of why a decision is made. This tutorial covers recent model interpretability techniques that are essentials in your data scientist toolbox: Eli5, LIME (Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations) and SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations). You will learn how to apply these techniques in Python on real-world data science problems in order to debug your models and explain their decisions. You…

PyCon 2019 | Faster Python Programs – Measure, don’t Guess

PyCon 2019 | Faster Python Programs – Measure, don’t Guess Speaker: Mike Müller Optimization can often help to make Python programs faster or use less memory. Developing a strategy, establishing solid measuring and visualization techniques as well as knowing about algorithmic basics and datastructures are the foundation for a successful optimization. The tutorial will cover these topics. Examples will give you a hands-on experience on how to approach efficiently. Python is a great language. But it can be slow compared to other languages for certain types of tasks. If applied appropriately, optimization may reduce program runtime or memory consumption…

PyCon 2019 | Building Reproducible Python Applications For Secured Environments

PyCon 2019 | Building reproducible Python applications for secured environments Speaker: Kushal Das We all have to package Python based applications for various environments, starting from command line tools, to web applications. And depending on the users, it can be installed on thousands on computers or on a selected few systems. https://pypi.org is our goto place for finding any dependencies and also in most of the time we install binary wheels directly from there, thus saving a lot time. But, Python is also being used in many environments where security is the utter most important, and validating the dependencies…

PyCon 2019 | Shipping your first Python package and automating future publishing

PyCon 2019 | Shipping your first Python package and automating future publishing Speaker: Chris Wilcox One of the best things about Python is the vast ecosystem of packages available on the Python Package Index. Shipping your first Python package can be intimidating. This talk aims to remove the mystery of Python packaging and enable you to share your code with other Pythonistas. We will also discuss more recent additions to packaging that can be used even if you are an experienced package maintainer. The latter portion of the talk will be dedicated to talking about how you can automate…

PyCon 2019 | Eita! Why Internationalization and Localization matter

PyCon 2019 | Eita! Why Internationalization and Localization matter Speaker: Nicolle Cysneiros According to the always trustworthy Wikipedia, there are approximately 360 million native English speakers in the world. We, as developers, are so used to write code and documentation in English that we may not realize that this number only represents 4.67% of the world population. It is very useful to have a common language for the communication between developers, but this doesn’t mean that the user shouldn’t feel a little bit more comfortable when using your product. Translation of terms is only one step in the whole…

PyCon 2019 | Plug-n-Stream Player Piano: Signal Processing With Python

PyCon 2019 | Plug-n-Stream Player Piano: Signal Processing With Python Speaker: JP Bader Digital Signal Processing and Player Piano don’t normally come together in the same sentance. Player Pianos that are 100+ years old are awesome artisan artifacts, but they don’t play digital formats very well. This talk will show how we take a 100+ year old technology and marry it to the digital age via Python libraries and precision lasers! In this discussion we will cover how we are creating our own “”Plug-n-Stream Player Piano””. We will take a look at the different digital signal processing Python libraries,…
