Here's the somewhat nostalgically named "Remembering Python": https://youtu.be/6xQxhD29Rdc (a short Youtube for Python teachers)
Twas from a last session (ten of ten) looking back on what we'd covered. I'm not excerpting this recording verbatim from the class. Rather, I'm going over some of what I've learned as a mentor, about ways to share Python. There's a Jupyter Notebook to go along: http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/4dsolutions/Python5/blob/master/Remembering1.ipynb Not that much to it, content-wise (it's short). In the Notebook and in the class notes (see "whiteboard") I hint at another "deep well": the special names. __invert__ in this case. I use it for encrypt / decrypt (permutations). I call these __ribs__ or "scaffolding" for use "backstage" in my banter. Learning Python involves learning this given special names. I notice in my two test browsers, the output of dir(__builtins__) gets truncated, chopped off, in the cited Notebook. Rendering directly on Github does not have this problem: https://github.com/4dsolutions/Python5/blob/master/Remembering1.ipynb On another topic, I attended the most recent Python User Group and followed up with this listserv posting: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/portland/2016-March/001744.html (talks about the user group towards the end and leads to more links).
