The Python core developers keep pushing out new functionality every six months. Python 3.6 just went out of support and Python 3.11 is in pre-release. This talk will look at the new features promised for 3.11 and maybe provide some opionated views on their usefulness or their potential to make Python code harder to understand.

The world has lost the ability to pip install... what do we do?!?! This talk explores a hypothetical Doomsday Scenario where the Python Package Index has gone offline. We examine three ways we can import libraries we have not installed.
After this talk, attendees will have a better understanding of what happens when a package is imported into Python.

Isn't dependency injection a Java thing? Not really!
Have you used Pytest? Fixtures are a form of dependency injection. What about just passing in file-like object to `json.load`? Also dependency injection! There's also FastAPI, one of the most popular Python web frameworks now days, that has depedendency injection as one of it's key features.
You see, dependency injection is very widespread in the Python world, it just looks so natual because of lack of a `new` keyword and first-class function support that you might not even know you are using the technique. Nonetheless it can help to be aware of the theory and jargon around it, which is what we'll explore in this talk by way of a joint refactoring exercise.

A recommender system (recsys) is a no-brainer investment for any service that offers users a wide choice of items. This talk will teach you how to design and build one yourself, informed by lessons learnt shipping a recsys to 5 million MAUs. We'll start with the simplest heuristics and ML models that do the trick, focusing significantly on system design. We'll discuss how to compute, store, and serve recommendations - and also how to build a robust data system with long-term value. We can also nerd out about machine learning and idea jam at the end.

The MicroPython part of Evezor Modular Automation System.
or how to link an input device to a liniar actuator over CAN Bus.
I will maybe spend 5 min talking about my anser to "What is / Teach me programming?"
For sure I will spend a few moments talking about Python on FPGAs like Fomu and have a few to give out.
