About

From Python Import Podcast is a bimonthly podcast dedicated to sharing thoughts, opinions, rants, and intelligent discussion about all things Python. We have a special focus on practical application, but like all bitheads, we stray far and wide, from design theory to the best way to configure vim.

We welcome your thoughts, your feedback, and your scotch.
