Speaker: Marilyn Davis
Topic: What's Pythonic?
Marilyn will give a clear, succinct, and hopefully, thought-provoking,
definition for the word "pythonic". She'll explain a few concepts that
help you to produce pythonic code. And, using her definition, she will
give code examples and pythonic ratings, from 0 to 10, for various
snippets of code.
We'll leave time for others to share their snippets of code. So bring any
code or thoughts that you consider to be particular pythonic, or
un-pythonic, or that just leave you curious. And we'll try to work
together to pythonisize any code example, and put a rating on it.
