Description
In this talk, we'll explore ten of the most paradoxical and mind-numbing "Python wats" -- unique edge cases in the language. We'll even go so far as to re-implement the stdlib functions which cause them to understand just why they actually make sense.
This is a fun and entertaining talk. In the end, attendees will gain insight into functions they use every day, including zip, max, min, any, all, and more. Even the simplest of tools, when combined, can produce really weird results!
