Description

The temptation to employ code-generating techniques in Python is strong. Much of what is called “metaprogramming” in Python refers to the various techniques through which we can write higher-order code: code that then generates the code that solves our problem. This talk discusses various common approaches for code-generation, their applicability to solving real problems, and the reality of using these techniques in your work.
