The first "weird idea" lightning talk of the day by Ally: writing palindromic Python code. Ended with a palindrome checker that is a palindrome 🐍↔️🐍 #Python #PyConUS @PyConUS https://github.com/optim-ally/palindromes
Haha, PyCon Taiwan, "We timed it perfectly, it's too late to submit a talk, and too early to buy a ticket."

Happy to meet fellow Fediverse folks at #PyConUS2023! Here's what I look like.
I enjoy chatting about open source #maintainer skills and challenges, scifi/fantasy books and short stories, and recommendations for having a useful and fun convention experience http://harihareswara.net/posts/2023/your-first-pycon-but-not-your-first-convention/ .
So glad that Erlend Aasland took it upon himself to make
`zoneinfo` and `datetime` work with isolated interpreters. 🙏❤.
Lol, Mario Corchero: "This talk was totally about f-strings and not about PyStack"
Classic.
If anyone took any good pictures of me giving my talk and are willing to send it to me with a permissive license (preferably CC-0), your work may be featured in my holiday card next year 😅
Probably best way to send pictures would be email, which you can find at https://ganssle.io/contact

@glyph Solid legal advice: "It's not copyright infringement if you copy it from a parallel universe."
@glyph "If you learn anything from this talk, it should be, 'Use the keyring module'"
Too late! I already learned a different thing!
My takeaway from @glyph's talk: give all your passwords to a CLI tool you installed from PyPI to help you memorize them: 😉

I like how @hynek's example of an exception to the no subclassing rule of thumb is... exceptions.

I will be speaking at 3:15 in 355DEF, on "How To Keep A Secret".
Let's just keep that between us, shall we?
(I'll post the YouTube link later when it's available.)
@hynek Protocol: "brand new" feature from Python 3.8.
(These are great by the way: https://blog.glyph.im/2020/07/new-duck.html)
