I will be attending the Write the Docs conference in Portland on Monday/Tuesday.
I've spent a lot of time with Sphinx this past year working on updating and improving the Urwid documentation. I've found writing documentation is a really hard but also really important and rewarding part of my programming work.

Unicode page U+2800 has all the combinations of a 2x4 grid of Braille dots. Braille dots that line up neatly with the ones on all sides in most fonts. We can paint with this!
This is the second part of the talk I gave January 24, 2013 at the Ottawa Python Authors Group.
Part One introduces Python iterables and iterators and generators. This part covers the advanced use of generators while building an interactive two-player network game.

This post covers some basic Python syntax that tends to trip up people just starting with the language.
Literal tuple, list, dict and set definitions have some edge cases you need to be aware of when reading and writing Python code. Unfortunately some of these cases aren't consistent or obvious, but once you understand why they exist, they are easy to remember.
