Date: Monday, May 14th @ 7pm
Exploring Python Code Objects: Python is an interpreted language, right? Wrong! In this talk, Dan Crosta dives deep into Python bytecode, and reveals what actually happens in everyone's favorite Python program, 'print "Hello world"'. Learn to use the compile() builtin and its best friend the exec statement, understand what your Python code is doing with the dis and compiler modules, and discover new ways to explore and enjoy Python at a low level.About the Speaker Dan Crosta is a member of the "Python Army" at 10gen, where he is a core contributor to PyMongo. In his spare time he writes web applications and frameworks, investigates hidden corners of Python, and wishes it would snow so he could go skiing again.
