Talk Description:
Python is designed to be easy to learn for beginners, and easy to pick
up for experienced programmers. But Python's simplicity means you
might not be using all the features the language has to offer. In this
talk I'll review the Python data model, which is the key to writing
idiomatic Python code. You'll learn how to emulate the behavior of
Python's internal types such as sequences and dictionaries using
Python's special double-underscore ("dunder") methods.
