Lightning Talks, conference closing
summary
A rapid sequence of mini-presentations at EuroPython 2015 in Bilbao combines practical libraries, community updates and conference stats so decide by specifics: a Cooperative decorator library that injects a metaclass, enforces keyword-only signatures, forwards kwargs and errors on unsafe overrides; a dynamic mixin factory that composes classes at runtime; concrete numbers—117 talks, 25 trainings, 1,400 attendees—and logistics like sprint days, ticket sales patterns and hundreds of litres of coffee that show what actually happened and whether it scaled.
