Right now at the time of this recording there's over 200,000 packages on PyPI and we were just shy of that when we took

There's so many amazing things, and we actually worked with a bunch of them. We worked with Beautiful Soup, with Requests

with httpx, with Jupyter, JupyterLab, NumPy Matplotlib, I could go on, and on, and on. We also talked about awesome Python

1:08
a lot of other languages.
