Advanced Programming Tools
Details
Three talks about advanced programming tools, sponsored by Quantopian (http://quantopian.com) and Cogo Labs (http://cogolabs.com).
Andrea Censi: PyContracts
Python is famously untyped. PyContracts (http://andreacensi.github.io/contracts/) is a library that allows you to annotate your functions with type specifications which can be checked at runtime. The best of both worlds?
Laurent Poulain: the Python disassembler
Python is compiled to bytecode, and the dis module lets you examine that bytecode. We'll go through a few examples of how and why.
Joe Jevnik: qdb
Quantopian has implemented their own debugger for use in their specialized environment.
Pizza will be provided by Quantopian. Drinks afterwards at Meadhall, sponsored by Cogo Labs.
