Talk Python To Me

A podcast on Python and related technologies

Latest episode:
#513 Stories from Python History

Why do people list to this podcast? Sure, they're looking for technical explorations of new libraries and ideas. But often it's to hear the story behind them. If that speaks to you, then I have the perfect episode lined up. I have Barry Warsaw, Paul Everitt, Carol Willing, and Brett Cannon all back on the show to share stories from the history of Python. You'll hear about how import this came to be and how the first PyCon had around 30 attendees (two of whom are guests on this episode!). Sit back and enjoy the humorous stories from Python's past.

What listeners think

Yay! A great Python podcast!
Michael Kennedy does a wonderful job of finding interesting creators and users of obscure, and sometimes popular, Python packages. Each episode is a view of the Python world through a different lens. Thank you Michael.
