Writing working code is one thing, writing elegant code is something else entirely. Although it is quite difficult to write bad Python code, the levels of beauty that can be achieved with small amounts of effort are quite astounding. In this talk, I hope to briefly cover common idioms, and several language features that most people didn't know existed. The emphasis will be on data handling and access, tasks which are common to all types of applications. Basic to Intermediate knowledge of Python will be required, in order to understand and use the full potential of the tools discussed.
