       | The author mentions my talk in the list of ones to watch ("Open
       | Source on Easy Mode"), but the actual presentation did not go
       | well due to technical difficulties. I made the brave mistake of
       | bringing only my iPad to present with, and apparently it was
       | refusing to output 1080p, which resulted in squashed output of my
       | slides in their A/V system. And delays while trying to fix it
       | meant I had to give my talk on a compressed timescale. I had to
       | talk even faster than expected, and still needed to elide some
       | bits at the end. Lessons learned, I guess!
       | 
       | I'm planning to re-record the talk on my own at some point soon,
       | but until then, all of my slides and examples, and the full
       | script for the talk, are available on my github repo. Hopefully
       | there's something useful there for everyone:

       | I've been going to PyCon since 2005. It was good to be back even
       | if the conference was smaller than normal. Python is in a great
       | place. It still has some warts and issues (mainly from the time
       | it was originally developed) but it has a huge community,
       | wonderful libraries, a steady stream of students learning it in
       | college, a large demand from corporations for anyone who knows
       | the language, and it is used in many domains.
       | 
       | The announcement of PyScript has the potential to be a game
       | changer for many as it removes one big sticking point. Getting
       | started and environment setup can be a pain. Hitting a URL and
       | jumping into coding from the get go is especially big for
       | corporate trainers like me who tend the spend the first hour or
       | so of a class making sure everyone's environment is set up
       | correctly.

         | Hi Matt, speaking of PyCon, thanks for your talk on Qtile many
         | years ago. It remains one of the funniest lightning talks I've
         | seen, and also influenced my talk style to some degree.

       | Anyone know when videos of the talks will be generally available?
       | PyCon snuck up on me this year and I couldn't snag an online
       | ticket.

         | I'm not sure when they upload them, but generally they make a
         | playlist on this channel.

       | All of the keynotes were great and satisfied totally different
       | needs. I think they should have lead with PyScript though.

       | Why the interest in PyScript? Pyodide offered something similar
       | and has been around for a lot longer, right?
