Pablo Galindo Salgado

Join us for a very special live episode of Core.py as Pablo Galindo Salgado and Łukasz Langa somehow convince Guido van Rossum to sit down for what will almost certainly begin as a sensible conversation about Python and quickly spiral into war stories, controversial design decisions, ancient...

Have you ever needed to debug a Python application in production without stopping it? While tools like GDB make this straightforward for C/C++, Python developers face unique challenges when attaching debuggers to live processes.

Working on one of the major programming languages surely is a lot of fun but sometimes very weird things happen. In these moments Python stops behaving like Python and you enter a new dimension where everything is possible.

Did you know that Python 3.12 will include one of the world's smallest just-in-time (JIT) compilers? Also, you will be surprised to learn it is not what you probably think it is.

As Python keeps evolving and attracts an ever-growing community with unique perspectives, steering council members and core developers face the enthralling challenge of preserving Python's fundamental identity. In this talk, we embark on a journey, exploring how Python retains its essence while...

These days, it is very easy for applications to run out of memory due to the vast amounts of data they need to process. While Python makes it very easy to get something up and running, the highly dynamic nature of the language abstracts memory management away from us and makes it very difficult to understand what is going on when we run out of memory or when we have memory leaks.

Error reporting has been an area that sadly has not improved a lot recently in the Python interpreter and users have been battling with very obscure runtime errors and puzzling syntax error messages that range from very generic (just “syntax error: invalid syntax”) to directly misleading (the...

Python 3.10 has been recently released and among many exciting new features, one of the biggest improvements is the inclusion of a whole new set of changes focused on improving the error messages across the interpreter and the general user experience when dealing with error messages.

In this talk I will go into some interesting stories of how (C)Python is made. We will go through a journey that will show you how Python is developed, who works on it, interesting battles against the most obscure of bugs and lots of unexpected situations and things to learn and to reflect on.

We will try to answer a straightforward question: What makes Python so easy to learn and read? Other languages also have a robust community and a compelling ecosystem and standard library, but Python somehow stands out on how easy it is to understand existing code and how quickly and pleasantly people can learn it.

The audience will discover one of the core pieces of the language that sits at the middle of the decisions about what new rules can or cannot be implemented in the Python programming language.
