This is a presentation given by David Beazley (dabeaz), wherein he live codes, in emacs and from scratch, a concurrent socket server to illustrate concepts of IO vs CPU bound concurrency in Python. The presentation is not just illuminating on how socket programming works in Python, but it is also a fun and relatively unique example of live coding being an effective presentation tool. I was at the conference live for this session and someone next to me in the crowd, when it was over, said, "I think we just witnessed the Jimi Hendrix of Python."

Find out as I describe how I used Python as a secret weapon of "discovery" in an epic legal battle.
