We will have a look of how Python is used in Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu. For example, what "software components" Python "glues" in such GNU/Linux distribution are, and how to implement them. If you are a user of Debian or Ubuntu, you may be surprised that you are using so much Python everyday.
The father of Python, Guido, published his famous essay "Glue It All Together With Python" in 1998. People probably started to descript Python as a glue language since then.
A GNU/Linux distribution is a collection of software components, including applications and libraries.
As a GNU/Linux distribution, Debian, and Debian's derivatives, e.g. Ubuntu, they use Python to "glue" themselves as well.
In this talk, I am going to talk about some examples of how Python works as a glue language, including as a scripting language, in the (GNU/Linux Debian/Ubuntu) distributions, and the examples of how the glue of Python is made. By understanding the "glue role" of Python in these distributions, it will help users and developers know their own distribution more.
Users and developers who use and work on GNU/Linux distribution, especially Debian, Ubuntu and their derivatives, and want to know more about Python in their distribution. People who are interested in packaging, including Python package and Linux distribution packaging, especially Debian/Ubuntu packaging. People who are interested in mixing Python and the other language (as beginners).
