Interactive Python development in Emacs

Format: 20-min talk ; Q&A: BigBlueButton conference room
Status: Waiting for video from speaker

Description

Learning Lisp was an eye opener for me. The Interactive way of writing code is Amazing. Emacs has great support for this in general already. For Python, there's limitations and I have looked for ways to make Python development more interactive (and fun). Python is what I do at work and in Open Source projects. It has lead me to develop Emacs features specific for Python: evaluating code with visual feedback, modify a running Python app without restarts, and some LLM support. I will demo and talk about what I have developed to make Python development interactive and joyful.

About the speaker:

My name is David and I'm a software developer. Colleagues and friends may know me as an early adopter of agile ideas and test driven development. I am passionate about things like that, and share the things I learn to the community and the people I work with. My favorite programming languages are Python and Clojure. On my spare time I practice outdoor Parkour & contribute to Open Source.
