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.

As a software developer, what's the most important application on your computer? If your answer is Microsoft Outlook, my heart goes out to you - stay strong! But for most of us, it's probably a toss up between your web browser and code editor. For editors, there are basically two …
Do you have a new web project coming up? Are you thinking of choosing Django or maybe Flask? Those are excellent frameworks, but you might also want to check out TurboGears. It was created and released around the same time as Django. It lets you starts your project as a …

What if you built a product that dramatically improved how hundreds of free, open source Python libraries worked together, gave it to the world for free, and then built a thriving business on it? It's the open-source dream really, isn't it? In this episode, we talk with Travis Oliphant from …

You've probably heard of Infrastructure-as-a-services (IaaS) cloud providers such as Amazon's AWS, with EC2 in particular, and to a lesser degree Microsoft's Azure cloud platform. But have you hear of OpenStack? It is an incredibly powerful IaaS platform which you can buy as a service or install in your own …

Imagine a future where you are building that rich, client-side web app. You start by creating some backend services in Flask or Node, an HTML page, throw in a few divs and uls, and then you type
Imagine a future where you are building that rich, client-side web app. You start by creating some backend services in Flask or Node, an HTML page, throw in a few divs and uls, and then you type <script src="main.py" language="Python">. That future might just be possible, for the right types …
Machine learning allows computers to find hidden insights without being explicitly programmed where to look or what to look for. Thanks to the work of some dedicated developers, Python has one of the best machine learning platforms called scikit-learn. In this episode, Alexandre Gramfort is here to tell us all …

What does it mean to be a leader in the Python community? Contributing to open source? Speaking at conferences? Starting the largest user group? Writing a book? Being a core contributor? The answer is yes. And that's why Jessica McKellar won the Frank Willison Award for Contributions to the Python …

The largest machine ever built is the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It's primary goal was the discovery of the Higgs Boson: the fundamental particle which gives all objects mass. The LHC team of 1000's of physicists achieved that goal in 2012 winning the Nobel Prize in physics. Kyle Cranmer …

Is that Python code of yours running a little slow? Are you thinking of rewriting the algorithm or maybe even in another language? Well, before you do, you'll want to listen to what Davis Silverman has to say about speeding up Python code using Profiling. Links from the show: **Davis …

Often people complain about the lack of developer skills in western countries like the United States and that problem is amplified when you consider typically under represented groups such as women and minorities. This week you'll meet Laura Blankenship who is doing more than her share to widen the appeal …

So, you've build an amazing Python web app and now what? You want to put it online of course but that's a whole different skill set. You're in luck, because Matthew Makai is here to tell us all about deploy Python applications on this episode of Talk Python To Me. …
