Anyone lose a dark blue folio with very well written notes in Room 321 at #PyConUS? I dropped it off at the registration desk so stop by there if you see this.

Please boost for spread!

@rhave @kyhwana I really wish there was a better name and reference for the HTML date standard. RFC3339 is good for a human readable interchange for computers, but its treatment of timezones makes it less suitable for a computer/human interchange.

ISO-8601 can die in a fire.

Today at #PyConUS we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of @leonardr's library Beautiful Soup as an Open Space!

Like I just said on stage at #PyConUS , the @pytexas virtual meetup happens every month, first Tuesday of the month, at 8pm central. The meetup happens on Discord, so you can invite some Texas into wherever you are!

Our CFP is always open, so if you want to speak, go sign up. If you want help building your talk, we can help! Talk to me, I got you!

"But other parsers know too much about HTML. They choke on or try to rewrite bad markup. They assume you care about the whole document. A pirate might make you walk the plank, but only a parser would make you walk the whole tree."

@pganssle giving a talk walking those familiar with unittest on the basics (and some advanced items) on #pytest at #PyConUS

I use pytest daily, but still found this talk pretty helpful. (Note to self: '--stepwise')

Pro tip for #pyconus #pycon speakers, presenters, tutorial hosts - dark text on white background is more legible than vice versa. The projector does a better job at projecting white light and the dark text shows off in a better contrast. As a member of the audience it’s more legible on a projector screen than white text on dark background - especially from far.
