This is a super cool project build by Christian. Pyvisgraph builds a visibility graph given a set of simple obstacle polygons and find the shortest path between two points. Christian uses it at work for mapping vessel voyages.( Vessel as in ships ). Here are two blog post by him talking about the algorithm behind his code https://taipanrex.github.io/2016/09/17/Distance-Tables-Part-1-Defining-the-Problem.html and https://taipanrex.github.io/2016/10/19/Distanlogce-Tables-Part-2-Lees-Visibility-Graph-Algorithm.html .

Talking to technology has taken a whole new level since Amazon has announced their voice assistant Alexa and opened up their platform for developers to build custom bots just like when Apple announced about app store for developers to create and sell apps. Here I wanted to talk about the ease of building an Alexa skill using python which could be used as information provider to a attendee for a conference.

Armin Ronacher's creator of Flask takes at length candidly about How it's difficult for him to grasp Asyncio , it's shortcomings, how David Beazley's live demo hacked up asyncio replacement is twice as fast as it. Curator's Note - Personally I learned Asyncio from the book Fluent Python. However once I went beyond the simple examples and try building something non trivial I ended up switching to golang and getting my job done faster. One key reason is the benchmark showed my asyncio's throughput was an order of magnitude slower, code required a lot of hand holding for a new developer.
