Many of us employ shells (like Bash, Zsh or PowerShell) in the terminal to “get admin things done” on our computer. For the actual programming then we switch to Python to “get real things done”.

But what if you could use Python in your programs *and* in the terminal? Welcome to Xonsh, a shell and a Python REPL in one. This unique feature helps very much to get all things in the terminal done quicker, safer and to have more fun on the way!

In this talk I cover what Xonsh is, how you can use it to simplify your day-to-day work and how I have employed Xonsh to solve some sysadmin problems in a safer way. This talk is aimed at both Python beginners and experts who spend time in the terminal.

Leo is a Software Engineer with the Australian Government. Long time Python lover and Programming Language affincinado . Now diving into Functional Programming.
