Python video: Loop like a native - by Ned Batchelder

By Vasudev Ram

I saw this really good Python video a while ago, and remembered it today in the context of some Python work I was doing.

It is by Ned Batchelder at PyCon US 2013, The title of the talk is:

Loop like a native: while, for, iterators, generators

The video is also embedded below.

Basically it is about more idiomatic ways of looping in Python, which can often lead to shorter, clearer, less redundant code.

Video: PyCon US 2016: Alex Martelli: Exception and error handling in Python 2 and Python 3

By Vasudev Ram

I started watching this recent PyCon US 2016 video. I found it informative and interesting:

Alex Martelli: Exception and error handling in Python 2 and Python 3

Alex Martelli is the author or co-author of some well-known Python books like Python in a Nutshell and the Python Cookbook (for at least one of the versions); I've bought and read some of them, and they are pretty good.

[ Interestingly, the Wikipedia article about Alex, linked above, says that he is also noted for coining the phrase duck typing. ]
