Nice schedule for upcoming Pycon NL¶
In 2.5 weeks (Thursday 15 October), I’ll attend the Pycon NL one-day conference in Utrecht. Always a friendly conference with some good speakers.
I just took a look at the talks schedule and got pretty excited. A talk about 3D, point clouds etc and how to process it with Python: useful for the company I work for. I’ll attend the practical observability talk: we do observe and we have lots of metrics, but really tying everything together, especially with our Python apps, still needs some work.
Of course there are some talks, scheduled at the same time, that both look useful. “New static security scanner” versus “practical software architecture” for instance.
“Zero-downtime multi-tenancy in Django” pushes a lots of buttons for me :-) The talk before it looks like it will explain some theoretical background behind “data models”, with a bit of LLM explanation included. That might help me understand it all better (I’m not using LLMs myself).
“Resumable Python pipelines” hopefully broadens my view a bit. We’re using the Prefect task runner a lot within the company (I even gave a talk about it at PyGrunn and at two meetups). Recently, I’ve started using Django’s new “django-tasks” framework. So… some more input is always useful.
And, yeah, “what’s inside an asyncio event loop”: up till now I’ve kept all my own code synchronous. Nice, clear, debuggable. I’ve heard loud groans from colleagues that had to debug async code. But I’ve also heard very positive noises from the Django community about “free threaded python” and “that’s when Django’s async work can really pay off”. So: I’d like to know more about the inside of asyncio :-)
Well, on 15 October you’ll see my summaries turn up here on this blog!
