We did it! Largest computer programming lesson in the world!


I ended up giving a โWhat the Python?!โ lightning talk showing random Python stuff that looks surprising. E.g., run this in Python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10: import keyword print(len(keyword.kwlist)) Weird, right? Thanks to @pyblogsal for suggesting this ๐ for the lightning talk.
PyCon Portugal ๐ต๐น is starting! (A bit late, but it's starting nonetheless!) Wish me luck โ hopefully no one else cancels their talk last-minute! P.S. I need an idea for a lightning talk... What do you suggest?

This table shows how to use the special characters \b and \B in regular expressions to match: - standalone words - prefixes - suffixes - infixes \b matches word boundaries. \B matches inside words. A โword characterโ is any alphanumeric character & the underscore.

I'm one last-minute cancellation away from crying ๐คฃ I had back-up plans B, C, D, E, and F. Literally. And I've used them up already!
TOMORROW is the day! ๐ The Python community gathers in Cascais for PyCon Portugal2 025 and itโs going to be unforgettable. ๐โจ Safe travels, and see you soon at the beach! ๐งณ๐ด #pyconpt25 #1daytogo
I'm very much looking forward to the full documentary that is coming out this Summer :D
Had a great time at @europython, we're so happy we got to share some of the Python documentary! And thanks to @mitsuhiko, @paulweveritt & Brett Cannon for sharing their insights alongside it, and to @N_Ashiorkor & @mathsppblog for facilitating a great chat!
Do you have any example use cases for `itertools.chain` from the Python standard library you can share? Bonus points if you can link to code.
This was very fun to record. I hope you enjoy!
๐๐ง Rodrigo Girรฃo Serrรฃo: Python Training, itertools, and Idioms Once you've learned the vocabulary and syntax of the Python language, how do you progress into learning the right combinations to put into your code? This week on the show, we speak with @mathsppblog aboutโฆ
I just learned about `em-keyboard`! It's a fun little tool you can use to access emoji by name from the comfort of your terminal! Written in Python! (Heh, here's a CLI that Rust hasn't taken from us ๐คฃ)

1 hour left!
My #PyConIt2025 ๐ฎ๐น talk is happening in 5 hours! Join me as we dip our toes in metaprogramming, learning about `__init__`'s big brother, the dunder `__new__`. Live-coding included! The talk will be live-streamed, so you can watch the stream if you're not around! Stream link ๐
