Sessions
This talk demonstrates how Unix's file abstraction philosophy, "Everything is a file", remains profoundly relevant today, using Python as our lens. We'll journey from traditional files to system devices, showing how the same simple read/write interface elegantly handles tasks from HTTP responses to GPIO control.
By connecting Python's file-like abstraction to Unix's "Everything is a file" philosophy, this presentation offers modern developers a fresh perspective on this time-tested design principle. Whether working with cloud storage, hardware interfaces, or system monitoring, understanding file-like objects reveals powerful patterns for building flexible and maintainable systems. Join us to discover how this fundamental concept remains remarkably relevant in today's Python ecosystem, from IoT devices to cloud platforms.
