Guido van Rossum - Keynote: Python now and in the future [EuroPython 2015] [21 July 2015] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] This is *your* keynote! I will have some prepared remarks on the state of the Python community and Python's future directions, but first and foremost this will be an interactive Q&A session.

James Robinson - Pycon - A teacher's perspective [EuroPython 2015] [23 July 2015] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] [Education Summit] A perspective of the impact of the PyconUK education track from the point of view of teachers and educators. Having attended the education track at Pycon UK 2014 as a teacher, my talk will share both my experiences and those of other teachers attending. The education track bought educators and developers together in a way that allowed the teachers to get support and advice whilst developers get to support teachers in developing exciting & real applications for teaching computing. The talk will focus on two aspects of the education track. The workshops delivered for teachers by python developers and how this helps build teachers confidence. But also the breakout sessions where educators and developers with common interests can work together to develop something. This might be a program / library or a teaching resource, some developers gave a hands on and bespoke training session to a group of teachers. If we are to get more young people programming or at least having a positive experience of programming then we need to minimize obstacles to that experience. By having educators and developers working together we can identify those obstacles and eliminate them! https://goo.gl/nt05hC

Andrey Syschikov - Practical usage of advanced Python constructs [EuroPython 2015] [24 July 2015] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] Python is a language of choice for developers with wide range of experience, for some it is a first programming language, others switch to Python after years of experience. Python provides friendly syntax and smooth learning curve. This sometimes leads to developers lacking comprehension of some more advanced constructs. It happens that experienced developers jump into using Python and sometimes miss less known Python language constructs. On the other hands people who purposefully learned Python sometimes lack practical ideas for how to apply those constructs. This talk will be specifically focused on the practical usages of advanced Python constructs like iterators, generators, decorators and context managers. Goal of the talk is to share ideas about how those constructs can be used for practical purposes in real projects. Prior knowledge is not required, there will be a brief introduction to every construct being presented.

Fabio Pliger/Marc-André Lemburg - EuroPython 2016: Help us build the next edition! [EuroPython 2015] [22 July 2015] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] We need help with organizing and running EuroPython 2016. In this session, we will explain how the EuroPython workgroup model works and where you could help.

James Robinson - Raspberry Pi Weather Station [EuroPython 2015] [23 July 2015] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] [Education Summit] The Raspberry Pi weather station project introduces young people to using python programming to solve real and technical problems. The weather station consists of a range of sensors including: Anemometer Rain gauge Wind Vane Temperature Probe Barometer Air Quality Sensor Hygrometer 1000 kits are being given away to schools to take part in the project by following our schemes of work which will involve. Programming basic interrupt based sensors Advanced Sensors using ADC chips Create a pygame based UI Logging data to MySQL and Oracle Apex Presenting data to a web app Deploying the weather station Integrating Apex database We would love feedback on the project from Python Developers and support in updating some libraries from python 2 to 3.

Raúl Cumplido - Metaprogramación en Python [EuroPython 2015] [22 July 2015] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] [En Español] Según wikipedia: "La metaprogramación consiste en escribir programas que escriben o manipulan otros programas (o a sí mismos) como datos, o que hacen en tiempo de compilación parte del trabajo que, de otra forma, se haría en tiempo de ejecución. Esto permite al programador ahorrar tiempo en la producción de código." En esta charla veremos diferentes mecanismos que Python proporciona como: - Decoradores - Metaclasses - Descriptors A través de varios ejemplos veremos como reutilizar código en varias funciones y clases, como modificar como nuestras clases se generan, como se genera una clase (que funciones se llaman cuando una clase se crea) o como se genera una instancia. Veremos también que fácilmente se nos puede ir de las manos y como utilizar con cuidado las herramientas que Python nos proporciona.

Jesús Espino - Todo es una trampa [EuroPython 2015] [22 July 2015] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] [En Español] A día de hoy usamos un enorme conjunto de bibliotecas y frameworks, además los usamos con cierta libertad dentro de nuestro código, y pasado el tiempo nos damos cuenta de que esa biblioteca, no cubre mis necesidades, o tiene algún fallo, o no escala bien en proyectos más grandes... en resumen, hemos caído en una trampa. No se puede evitar caer en estas trampas, porque depende de nuestras necesidades y las bibliotecas que utilizamos, por lo tanto, solo podemos estar lo mejor preparados posibles para salir de ellas tan pronto como nos demos cuenta. Como solución a esto, plantearé varias vías (nada innovadoras, pero menos usadas de lo que deberían). Unit testing (TDD idealmente), arquitectura hexagonal, y algunas reglas básicas de clean code.

Ana Balica - Demystifying Mixins with Django [EuroPython 2015] [24 July 2015] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] Mixins are a great way to keep an application decoupled. This talk is about building mixins and dissecting what's behing the mixin "magic" and that, in fact, there is no magic involved at all. The main focus will be on Django framework while digging into mixins. When using Django class-based views, mixins feel very natural. **Goal**: by the end of this talk, every developer should be confident about creating his or her own custom mixins. **Prerequisites:** - basic understanding of OOP principles and their application in Python - Django web framework Generally mixins in Python are pretty straight-forward, easy to create and use. Nevertheless a lot of developers stay away from them. I think attendees of this talk will be interested to learn that mixins are not that complex and their benefit is tremendous.

Sam Thursfield - Introduction to Baserock [EuroPython 2015] [21 July 2015] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] The Baserock project is about creating system images from source code in a clean, reproducible way. All of the tooling is written in Python. In this talk I'll explain a bit about the core idea of Baserock: declarative system definitions (expressed in YAML) that can be built and deployed in various ways. Then I'll go into more detail about the tools available, and some of the cool things that they can do: distributed building, atomic system updates, creating custom container images, and more.
