#458: Serverless Python in 2024

Serverless has moved from the fringes to the forefront of modern application architecture, especially for Pythonistas looking to reduce operational complexity. Today, we’re joined by Tony Sherman—an industry pro who’s taken Python-based projects from proof-of-concept to production, all powered by serverless tech like AWS Lambda and RDS Proxy. We’ll break down real-world performance tips, packaging best practices, and highlight the new wave of serverless-friendly libraries in the Python ecosystem. Whether you’re building IoT pipelines, spinning up ephemeral dev environments, or just sick of tinkering with Kubernetes, this discussion will help you decide if serverless is your next logical move—and how to get there smoothly.

#382: Apache Superset: Modern Data Exploration Platform

When you think data exploration using Python, Jupyter notebooks likely come to mind. They are excellent for those of us who gravitate towards Python. But what about your everyday power user? Think of that person who is really good at Excel but has never written a line of code? They can still harness the power of modern Python using a cool application called Superset.

#381: Python Perf: Specializing, Adaptive Interpreter

#381: Python Perf: Specializing, Adaptive Interpreter

We are on the edge of a major jump in Python performance. With the work done by the Faster CPython team and Python 3.11 due out in around a month, your existing Python code might see an increase of well over 25% in speed with no changes. One of the main reasons is its new specializing, adaptive interpreter. This episode is about that new feature and a great tool called Specialist which lets you visualize how Python is speeding up your code and where it can't unless you make minor changes. Its creator, Brandt Bucher is here to tell us all about.

#380: 7 lessons from building a modern TUI framework

#380: 7 lessons from building a modern TUI framework

Terminals seem like the very lowest common denominator for software platforms. They have to work over SSH. They only show text. You can't do much with them. Or can you? Will McGugan and team have been building Textual (based on Rich) which looks more like an animated web app than a terminal app. And he has learned a bunch of lessons trying to maximize terminal based apps. He's here to share his 7 lessons he's learned while building a modern TUI (text user interface) framework.

#379: 17 Libraries You Should Be Using in Django

#379: 17 Libraries You Should Be Using in Django

Do you write web apps in Django? The framework has come a long way lately with versions 3 and 4 adopting many of the modern Python capabilities (async, for example). But there are so many other libraries and apps that you can use to do more with less code in plugin new functionality. I'm happy to have Christopher Trudeau here on talk Python to take us through his 17 favorite libraries you should be using in Django.

#378: Flet: Flutter apps in Python

#378: Flet: Flutter apps in Python

Have you heard of Flutter? It's a modern and polished UI framework to write mobile apps, desktop apps, and even web apps. While interesting, you may have kept your distance because Flutter is a Dart language-based framework. But with the project we're covering today, Flet, many Flutter UIs can now be written in pure Python. Flet is a very exciting development in the GUI space for Python devs. And we have the creator, Feodor Fitsner, here to take us through it.

#377: Python Packaging and PyPI in 2022

PyPI has been in the news for a bunch of reasons lately. Many of them good. But also, some with a bit of drama or mixed reactions. On this episode, we have Dustin Ingram, one of the PyPI maintainers and one of the directors of the PSF, here to discuss the whole 2FA story, securing the supply chain, and plenty more related topics. This is another important episode that people deeply committed to the Python space will want to hear.

#376: Pydantic v2 - The Plan

Pydantic has become a core building block for many Python projects. After 5 years, it's time for a remake. With version 2, the plan is to rebuild the internals (with benchmarks already showing a 17x performance improvement) and clean up the API. Sounds great, but what does that mean for us? Samuel Colvin, the creator of Pydantic, is here to share his plan for Pydantic v2.

#375: Python Language Summit 2022

#375: Python Language Summit 2022

Every year, the Python core developers and a few other key players in the Python ecosystem meet to discuss the pressing issues and important advancements at an event called the Python Language Summit. While Python is a community known for openness, this meeting is typically held behind closed doors mostly for efficiency's sake. On this episode, we'll give you a look behind that door. We have Alex Waygood here on this episode to break it down for us and give a look inside the summit.
