The talk will walk through a small, mundane utility program and in
the process demonstrate how we can exploit Python to work at a very
high level. We will assume that a person knows very little about
Python but has some background about computers. We will discuss one
concern at a time and discuss how to learn just what is needed to
solve the problem on hand. The speaker hopes to convey the
underlying simplicity of Python, the amazing power it gives us and
the philosophy of Guido van Rossum to make programming accessible to
all.
