Python in the Browser, IronPython in Visual Studio 2010 and Other PyCon Talks

PyCon 2010 was great fun, and included several talks on or including IronPython.


This is Jimmy Schementi's write-up of his talk on using Python in the Browser, with links to the video and slides:
You, the Python developer, use Python because you want to, but in the browser you use JavaScript because you think you have to. With IronPython you can write browser code in Python. I’ll only begin to answer "what can the browser bring to Python?" and "what can Python bring to the browser?" in this short overview; examples will be very simple (with the exception of a few flashy ones) to make sure you can get started immediately.

The video of Dino Veihland's talk on the new integration of IronPython with Visual Studio 2010. The integration, which works standalone with the Visual Studio extensibility shell or integrated into VS 2010, is alpha quality - but has lots of nice features for IronPython development. It includes awesome type inferencing for intellisense in Python code.
A shorter video from Dino Veihland on the current state of IronPython, including a demo of the Visual Studio 2010 integration.
A talk by Holger Krekel on the various implementations of Python, and how execnet works with all of them:
CPython 2.5/2.6/3.1, Jython, IronPython, PyPy, StacklessPython, UnladenSwallow, Cython ... what do we make of all these cool interpreter projects and versions? Where does competition help and where does it hamper?
In this interactive talk I'll highlight the main strengths of each of the Python interpreters. Furthermore, I'll discuss ways to leverage Python interpreters in a co-operative way, discuss challenges, projects and issues ahead and also briefly highlight 'execnet', one my own projects for bridging (Any) Python to (Any) Python.
A talk by Maciek Fijalkowski (PyPy developer) on how to write programs that will run on multiple implementations of Python (or more specifically - how to avoid depending on implementation details of CPython without realising it).
This talk will cover basics about writing cross-interpreter python programs. What to do and most of all what not to do. This will help you if you want at some point in time to run program on for example Java platform or faster python interpreter, but also if you want to keep it running between CPython releases.
