Tutorial: Talking to other computers with Python

A three-hour tutorial on how to make your computer talk to other computers with Python. We'll learn a bit about the internet and the web and will write or modify a TCP chat client, a web server for static content, an HTTP client, and a WSGI-compliant server and web application. We will learn what all those things are and how they fit together, bringing the architecture of modern web apps into better focus.
