Keynote: Python now and in the future
summary
Overview of concrete claims and outcomes: Python 3.5 actually adds os.scandir, a matrix multiply operator, and async/await coroutines; type hints are a real PEP with tooling work underway. PyPy shows measurable speed gains but has compatibility and deployment costs; Dropbox runs a custom CPython 2.7 in production. The GIL problem is explained in detail with ongoing approaches like STM and Windows-specific refcount changes, so expect specifics about tradeoffs and what actually works.
