What Most Python Developers Never Learn — and How It Makes You a Pro

Here’s a list of engaging and advanced meetup topics tailored for experienced Python developers (0–8 years). These topics go beyond the basics and delve into deeper, often overlooked areas that challenge and inspire.

***

## 🧠 1. Metaprogramming & Reflection

• Metaclasses, custom class creation, and `init_subclass` hooks
• Advanced decorators and dynamic attributes
• Runtime introspection with `inspect` and `ast`
  Good for enabling DSLs, frameworks, and highly dynamic systems

***

## ⚙️ 2. Concurrency, Parallelism & Async Patterns

• Deep dive into threading vs multiprocessing vs `asyncio`
• GIL internals, thread safety, and `queue`, `concurrent.futures`
• Async architecture: tasks, event loops, server patterns

***

## 🧪 3. Performance Profiling & Memory Optimization

• Using `cProfile`, `memory_profiler`, and `objgraph` for bottlenecks
• `slots`, `weakref`, and manual GC tuning
• Leveraging Cython, PyPy, Numba and building native extensions

***

## 🌐 4. Packaging, Distribution & CI/CD

• Building robust Python packages using `setuptools`, `wheel`, and `poetry`
• Publishing to PyPI, automating tests, and versioning
• Using linting (mypy, flake8), formatter (black), and CI pipelines

***

## 🔐 5. Advanced Networking & Asynchronous I/O

• Building WebSocket servers, Pub/Sub systems
• Async frameworks like FastAPI, `httpx`, and `uvloop`
• Designing robust, scalable networked applications

### 🔗 Meetup Lineup

1. Metaprogramming & DSLs in Python
2. Async & Concurrency: Threads vs Async
3. Profiling & Memory Efficiency in Live Apps
4. Building & Publishing Python Packages
5. Advanced Indexing & Data Structures

## 🎯 Why These Topics?

• Advanced but practical, solving real-world issues
• Underexplored but essential for senior engineers
• Build a compelling learning journey for motivated developers
