Pykonik #75: Cython turbocharging and more!

Pykonik Tech Talks #75 will be hosted in "Centrum Informatyki" on AGH University of science and technology (Building D-17, room 1.38 on ground floor), details how to get here are in the sidebar on the right, or in "Location" section below.

We will have 2 longer talks with food & drinks break in-between and a lightning talks session at the very end.

Cython: Turbodoładowanie Pythona czy zbędna komplikacja? - Łukasz Chojnacki

Na prelekcji przybliżę świat Cythona, języka będącego hybrydą Pythona i C, który obiecuje znaczące przyspieszenie kodu Pythona. Omówię zalety i wady Cythona, porównując go z czystym Pythonem. Przeanalizuję, kiedy warto sięgnąć po Cythona, a kiedy lepiej pozostać przy standardowym Pythonie.

What happens when you decide to fuckit('all')? - Łukasz Taczuk

Sometimes it takes someone really smart to be able to do something seemingly really stupid - well, assuming one does not want to shoot themselves in the foot (or blow the whole foot off, as is the case with the module we'll be talking about).

The `fuckit` module walks a thin line between genius and insanity by going through hoops to make sure "your Python code runs whether it has any right to or not", by steamrolling any errors present in your program.

The question popping in your head should now be "But how?" and the answer goes surprisingly deep in Python's internal modules, that we're going to unveil during the lecture.

This talk should be of interest to any Python developer, regardless of their race, gender or programming experience. Why?

Because, let's face it, we've all been there: it's 16:00 on a Friday, the code is still a mess, and the only thing that prevents us from starting the weekend is that shiny "Deploy to Prod" button...

"Fuck it!"

Lightning talks

There is no synopsis there, as there is no topic yet! Lightning talks are determined on the spot, during meeting! Each participant can ask for a mic and projector screen to present for 5 minutes any python related or completely unrelated topic! Just raise your hand when the announcer asks who wants to give a Lightning talk or approach one of the organizers during the meeting.
