Turning on and off the lights and changing their colors with Python, apparently using the same pub sub protocol that FB messenger uses.

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.
