Lightning Talks - Sunday, May 18th
summary
Collection of concrete takeaways: use the phonenumbers package to parse and store phone numbers as E.164 and add a country dropdown to web forms; Python is deprecating positional passing of flags to re.sub flags deprecation so use keyword args (linters can autofix); Windows packaging demo boots Python from an embeddable distro encoded in a batch file; using uv for Docker installs yields 70% faster builds and ~30% smaller images because it skips .pyc by default; add cat icons with sphinx-neochang and try Python 3.14’s template T-strings for safer, pluggable interpolation.
