Luciano Ramalho on Python’s features and libraries

The O’Reilly Programming Podcast: A look at some of Python’s valuable, but often overlooked, features. In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk about Python with Luciano Ramalho , technical principal at ThoughtWorks , author of the O’Reilly book Fluent Python , and presenter of the Oriole Fluent Python: The Power of Special Methods . Discussion points: The value of some often-overlooked features of Python, including generators, iterators, and the range() function. How Python’s Asyncio module “brought a definition of what the interface should be for an event loop into the core standard library,” says Ramalho. Why Ramalho calls pytest his “go-to library for unit testing, and other kinds of testing.” Striving to avoid surprises and trying to follow the conventions of the language are two characteristics of what Ramalho describes as a “good Pythonic API.” The work of the Python Software Foundation to increase diversity in the Python community.
