| PYCON UK 2022: Saturday Welcome Session | Ann Barr | 25m |
Morning welcome lists practical logistics: volunteers meet fortnightly since January, sponsors (headline JPMorgan Chase plus Bloomberg, Microsoft, etc.) halve… | ||
| Do not trust my or any computational research | Vincent Knight | 01h 00m |
Argues that peer review routinely fails specific checks and offers reproducibility examples: a Python reproduction of a 2012 model cannot reach the paper's 97%… | ||
| Using python to create a prototype for web accessibility research | Peter Johnson | 25m |
Literature review of 50 papers finds 70% use automated tools and 48% rely on a single tool, so a prototype ensembles multiple accessibility evaluation tools is… | ||
| Living With Technical Debt: Acknowledge It, Specify It, Reduce It | Tim Gilboy | 25m |
Survey data shows two-thirds of teams have a “scary” code area and unplanned work ranges 10–80% of time, creating measurable slowdown. Treat technical debt as… | ||
| Meta Generators: Playing Safe with Long Sequences | Alastair Stanley | 24m |
Shows that using itertools functions like product can silently blow up memory because itertools.product materialises iterables so a 100-note combination step… | ||
| HPy: a better C API for Python | Roman Lamy | 24m |
HPy presents a C API that replaces PyObject pointers with owned handles, exposes a per-interpreter context vtable and supports two CPython backends: a thin… | ||
| Property Based Testing the Python Way | Emma Saroyan | 26m |
Compares pytest parameterize (explicit input/output lists) with Hypothesis property-based tests that use given/strategies to auto-generate inputs, shrinking… | ||
| Giving Python to non-developers: A real-life story | Philippe Masson, Rita Kesrouani | 25m |
JPMorgan gives Python access via Athena: 50M lines of Python, 1,000 libraries, 4,000 developers and exposes traders to data and analytics through simple… | ||
| An introduction to async programming - Writing a Telegram Antispam Bot in Python | Marc-André Lemburg | 29m |
Quick intro to async concepts (event loop, coroutines, async/await, asyncio.create_task and asyncio.sleep) followed by a concrete Telegram antispam bot built… | ||
| Vectorise all the things! How basic linear algebra can speed up your data science code | J Burchell | 24m |
Implements K‑nearest neighbors in pure Python, then replaces list loops with numpy arrays arithmetic, then swaps nested loops for a broadcasted 3D subtraction… | ||
| Rapid prototyping in BBC News with Python and AWS | Ben Nuttall | 23m |
BBC News Labs prototypes use Python and AWS to go from idea to working demo in days not months, claiming to build serverless processing pipelines that… | ||
| PYCON UK 2022: Saturday Lightning Talks | Sean Sabbage, Alastair Stanley, Alex Carney, Larry Hastings, Adrian Covaci, Heather Williams, Colin Moore-Hill, Max Kahan, Mark Shannon, Eshwari Chandrashekhar | 01h 04m |
Personal ADHD disclosure and practical coping notes plus a quick checklist for self‑assessment; a city straight‑line walk built from OpenStreetMap boundaries… | ||
