Raymond Hettinger «Build powerful, new data structures with Python's abstract base classes»

[@brambeer5591]

You know there's gonna be some good stuff when this guy shows up

[@Naton]

Such a delight watching him. Sparks my love for Python every time

[@mujkocka]

So good to have someone who is in the core and knows the reason for the design.

I have yet to see a Hettinger talk that disappoints!!! Always great talks!!!

[@rembautimes8808]

Raymond is an excellent speaker, thanks for hosting this. Also found out about traitlets module. Best talk on ABC. Had to copy the code from the video, but its a small price to pay for a persistent dictionary which is shareable and concurrent

Excellent talk, learned a lot from Raymond!!! many deep insights, which are hard to think all by yourself

Loving the FileDict, I already found a use for it, but I adjusted it a little to work with json

[@cristianbulgaru1946]

Is there a link to the slides somewhere?

[@prashantpathak3175]

I am also not able to find it

The Validator example is in the Python Documentation How To he wrote about descriptors: docs.python.org/3/howto/descriptor.html#complete-practical-example

[@WaldoTheWombat]

how can I access the content he's showing?

[@rednafi]

Seems like there is no link to the slides :(

[@ahmedhodhod7332]

min 33:07: starks.keys() and starks.values() return the same content, ie a list/tuple of (key, value) pair?

[@alexanderreynolds7638]

No, .keys() returns a KeysView, i.e. an iterable over the keys of the FileDict, and similarly .values() returns a ValuesView, an iterable over the values of FileDict. They just look similar because you see the FileDict printed out.

[@cristianbulgaru1946]

@@alexanderreynolds7638 thanks for pointing that out

[@jordank8814]

6:50 this regiter() nonsense seems like a great way to allow hackers to spoof being subclasses without knowing 100% of the internal methods of the abstract class

[@danielkislyuk3883]

you should have warned there were GoT spoilers inside! =) An amazing talk otherwise.
