When performance matters ...
----------------------------

  Simple idioms you can use to make your Python code run faster and
  use less memory.

  Python applications sometimes need all the performance they can
  get. Think of e.g. web, REST or RPC servers. There are several ways
  to address this: scale up by using more processes, use Cython, use
  PyPy, rewrite parts in C, etc.

  However, there are also quite a few things that can be done directly
  in Python. This talk goes through a number of examples and show
  cases how sticking to a few idioms can easily enhance the
  performance of your existing applications without having to revert
  to more complex optimization strategies.

  The talk was complemented with a lightning talk titled "Pythons and
  Flies", which addresses a memory performance idiom and answers one
  of the audience questions raised in the above talk.

Python Web Installer
--------------------

  Installing Python packages is usually done with one of the available
  package installation systems, e.g. pip, easy_install, zc.buildout,
  or manually by running "python setup.py install" in a package
  distribution directory.

  These systems work fine as long as you have Python-only
  packages. For packages that contain binaries, such as Python C
  extensions or other platform dependent code, the situation is a lot
  less bright.

  In this talk, we present a new web installer system that we're
  currently developing to overcome these limitations.

  The system combines the dynamic Python installation interface
  supported by all installers ("python setup.py install"), with a web
  installer which automatically selects, downloads, verifies and
  installs the binary package for your platform.
