The Hidden Power of the Python Runtime

Dive into the hidden mechanics of Python's runtime in this 27-minute PyCon US talk. Explore the events occurring behind the scenes during program execution, including Python's memory model, variables, and frame objects. Discover how to inspect program state during runtime without additional libraries or interpreter parameters. Learn about powerful tools based on runtime information that can enhance your daily Python programming. Gain insights into Python's memory model, stack frames, exception handling, debugging techniques, code coverage, typing tools, and concurrent execution. Access practical examples and slides to deepen your understanding of Python's inner workings and leverage its hidden power in your development process.
