Lightning Talks & Closing
summary
Demos and concrete failures dominate: asyncio native coroutines demo shows readable reader/writer streams and concurrent clients without threads; Selenium Page Adapter delivers a small API that maps page elements to Python descriptors and actually clicks links in the demo; practical gotchas include billion laughs and yaml.load deleted a home directory (XML entity expansion and unsafe YAML are exploitable); a time‑travel debugger uses fork to rewind state; hypothesis finds a real parser bug with three lines; robotics projects and crypto experiments actually build prototypes.
