We are delighted to have you join us for another virtual PyLadies Dublin meetup, we are still getting the hang of this, so thank you for attending and watching our videos.

Your support really helps. It took a lot of work to set it up, if you are curious, you can read Vicky's post about it: https://dev.to/pyladiesdub/live-streaming-from-zoom-meet-via-obs-to-youtube-2l3h - any feedback would be helpful to make this process smoother and easier to manage. 🥰

Any announcements, events, call to actions, resources, projects, ideas, please add to https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/M21XBfTX6fJz9X-lDzDtplyE/ - I will be using this for announcements before the talk(s).

Here's the details of the talks so far, we will update this page as we get them.

Poetry: Python packaging done right by Enrico Marchesin

Length: 10 mins intro + 10/20 mins hands on
Description:
Was never really happy with the very rough experience managing dependencies in Python, especially after being exposed to the very advanced tooling used internally at Amazon. Tried to leverage the "official way", using Pipenv but run in a few issues and the project felt abandoned. When I stumbled upon Poetry I found almost everything I was looking for. The talk would be a quick and gentle intro to Python dependencies management and a look into how Poetry can help a long way to keep your sanity while managing and sharing packages.

It can be complemented by an optional 10-20 mins hands on session where participants can try Poetry out themselves from a web terminal and without having to install anything locally using just a web browser.

About Enrico Marchesin:
Currently a Senior Software Engineer at Cainthus, where I try to make cows happy using Computer Vision and AI. Previously worked at Amazon AWS Services, in a few small startups and also run a couple entrepreneurial adventures.

Python imports, reloads, and associated dangers by Sorcha Bowler

Length: 10 mins
Description:
I lost a half a day's work to trying to find a bug that didn't exist because reloading imports didn't do what I thought it would. I'm here to save you that fate.

About Sorcha Bowler:
Sorcha studied computer science in college, did a non-coding job for many years, taught themself python, got a coding job, and now writes code for Google and is still rather surprised by that.
