Talk Python To Me

by Michael Kennedy · · ·

Talk Python to Me is a weekly podcast hosted by developer and entrepreneur Michael Kennedy. We dive deep into the popular packages and software developers, data scientists, and incredible hobbyists doing amazing things with Python. If you're new to Python, you'll quickly learn the ins and outs of the community by hearing from the leaders. And if you've been Pythoning for years, you'll learn about your favorite packages and the hot new ones coming out of open source.

Whether you got to attend PyCon, there were just too many good talks to attend them all. Luckily our friends at the PSF were on top of publishing the videos online for the whole world to watch for free. On this episode, we'll meet up with Brett Slatkin and replay …
When you think of popular Python packages, what comes to mind? There's a good chance that this week's guest, Kenneth Reitz, wrote that package you just thought of. He's the author of so of Python's most popular libraries, including Requests, Records, Maya, and pipenv just to name a few. I …

As most of you know, learning to program opens doors. It takes every day people and turns them into creators. Once you know programming, and Python, you've passed through a door to a place with much more opportunity. Now, consider the impact this could have if you grew up in …

We catch up with David Stewart and meet Suresh Srinivas, and Sergey Maidanov from Intel. We talk about how they are working at the silicon level to make even Python 2 run faster and touch on dedicated AI chips that go beyond just what is possible with GPU-computation. Links from …
Where do you run your Python code? No, not Python 3, Python 2, PyPy or the other implementations. I'm thinking waaaaay lower than that. This week we are talking about the actual chips that execute our code. We catch up with David Stewart and meet Suresh Srinivas, and Sergey Maidanov …
I've always thought that if I retired, I'd more or less do what I had been doing as my job - except without the meetings and reports. That is, write interesting and fulfilling software. In this episode of Talk Python To Me, we are back together with Philip Guo to …

Time for some Pythonic job and career advice with Matt Harrison. Listen in as we discuss how most developer jobs never make it to full job listings and how you can get in on them. We also discuss his books and his avalanche research with the Pandas library. Links from …

Are you asked to generate reports from your company's data? Has someone suggested that you buy / deploy massive BI software that expensive, closed source, and generally underwhelming? Well it's Redash and Python to the rescue. Today you'll meet Arik Fraimovich, the creator of Redash, whose goal is to make …

Database design and decisions use to be fairly straightforward. Pick your relational database engine, map out the general entities, apply the third- normal-form (3NF) to them and you're basically done. With the Cambrian explosion of database options and variations created from 2009 to present, it gets much harder to even …

Want to learn how to build an Iron-man like arc reactor accessory or maybe a solar charging backpack? What if you could program these devices with Python? We'll be talking about a project and company making this possible. This week you'll meet Tony DiCola who works at Adafruit. A company …

You have heard me go on and on about how Python 3.5's async and await changes the game for asynchronous programming in Python. But what exactly does that mean? How does it work in APIs? Internally? Today I'm here with David Beazley who has been deeply exploring this space with …

Al Sweigart is back on Talk Python. This time we're inventing our own computer games. Has anyone ever asked you for a resource to get started learning programming, learning Python? One excellent option is Al's book, just updated, called Invent Your own Computer Games with Python. That's what we're digging …
