AsyncIO + Music, Origins of Black, and Managing Python Releases

Want to learn more about AsyncIO in Python, with an example where you can see and hear events being triggered in real-time? This week Christopher interviews Łukasz Langa. Łukasz has created a talk for PyCon 2020 about using AsyncIO with Music. In this talk he shows live examples of coroutines, gathering, the event loop and events being triggered to create a piece of music. They talk about his role as the release manager for Python 3.8 and 3.9. He also provides background on the origins of his very popular, uncompromising code formatter, Black, and the types of problems it can solve inside of an organization. Łukasz previously worked for Facebook, which is where he started Black. He talks about recently moving back to Poland. Łukasz discusses his current work for Edge DB, building a new generation object-relational database.
