Python Bytes: CTO Talks Packages, PWC2023

Python packages and a quick preview of the 2023 Python Web Conference were featured when Calvin Hendryx-Parker, Six Feet Up CTO and AWS Community Hero, once again joined Michael Kennedy and Brian Okken on the Python Bytes Podcast, Episode #322: Python Packages, Let Me Count The Ways.

Among other things in the episode, Calvin and the show’s hosts discussed:

• what attendees can expect at the 5th annual Python Web Conference, scheduled for March 13-18,
• documentation and philosophies present in the Python Packaging User Guide,
• a site listing the 5,000 most downloaded PyPI packages each month,
• performance improvements in MyPy 1.0, the latest release of the static type checker for Python; and
• SQLAlchemy 2.0.0, the Swiss army knife of database tools that includes a number of performance enhancements.

The author of SQLAlchemy, Mike Bayer, is returning as a speaker to this year’s Python Web Conference. To learn about his talk and other speakers at this year’s event — including Python Bytes co-host Michael Kennedy — visit the Python Web Conference website.
