Latest episode: #545 OWASP Top 10 (2025 List) for Python Devs

The OWASP Top 10 just got a fresh update, and there are some big changes: supply chain attacks, exceptional condition handling, and more. Tanya Janca is back on Talk Python to walk us through every single one of them. And we're not just talking theory, we're going to turn Claude Code loose on a real open source project and see what it finds. Let's do it.

Feedback on the show

Exceptional for those new to Python

The podcast has been a wealth of information and has positively contributed to my efforts to learn Python. Michael interviews a great cross-section of people using Python. The biggest benefit for me has been the exposure to the various libraries and seeing the multitude of areas that I can use Python. Frankly, the podcast this the best way I've found to augment the training videos, documentation, and books I've used to learn the language.

— Dennis M.

Informative, addictive, and powerful!

I have been following this podcast since awhile now and I have to say that Michael does a great job picking topics which listeners relate to and all the information is very much helpful for a person who is getting their feet wet in Python or an experienced developer. Each and every episode, I learn at least one thing that motivates me to change my day to day life. I am looking for more Python stuff and I would love Michael to continue with the same speed as he is going. Highly recommended for all Pythonistas.
