Title: Hot Hallway Topics at PyCon US: GIL, JIT, and more!
Abstract: If you didn't attend PyCon US 2024, you might be wondering what folks discussed during the hallway track. In this talk, we'll delve into a few hot topics that comprised a lot of hallway conversations.
First, the future and potential demise of the global interpreter lock (GIL) was on many people's minds. Second, just in time compilers just couldn't get anymore attention. Additional notable highlights from the hallway include sub-interpreters and rust.

​🔎 Talk (~25 mins + Q&A)
Speaker: AJ Steers, Staff Software Engineer @Airbyte
Title: Extensibility Through Python
Abstract: Whether you are an experienced Python data engineer, an ambitious GenAI developer, or brand new to the Python space, we all eventually need access to high quality data.

In this talk, we’ll describe an ELTP architecture which can help you to be successful in data pipelines for GenAI, analytics, and everything in between. PyAirbyte is a brand new tool from Airbyte, built on the Airbyte Protocol and 20 years of data engineering best practices. In this talk, we’ll show how to use PyAirbyte to create robust data pipelines in minutes, accessing any of over 150 distinct data sources and thousands of unique datasets.

Our goal with this talk is to help you level up your Python data projects, while also drastically reducing the amount of code you need to maintain yourself.
