Talk Python to Me: #313 Automate your data exchange with PyDantic

Data validation and conversion is one of the truly tricky part of getting external data into your app. This might come from a REST API, a file on disk, or somewhere else. This includes checking for required fields, correct data types, converting from compatible types (for example, strings to numbers), and much more. Pydantic is one of the best ways to do this in modern Python using dataclass-like constructs and type annotations to make it all seamless and automatic. <br/> <br/> We welcome Samuel Colvin, creator of Pydantic, to the show. We'll dive into the history of Pydantic and it's many uses and benefits.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Samuel on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/samuel_colvin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@samuel_colvin</a><br/> <b>pydantic</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/2rDd9EG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io</a><br/> <b>Contributing / help wanted @ pydantic</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3sKOpWM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>python-devtools package</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/2yGbZN0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">python-devtools.helpmanual.io</a><br/> <br/> <b>IMPORTANT: PEP 563, PEP 649 and the future of pydantic #2678</b><br/> <b>GitHub issue on Typing</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3skWhyb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <br/> <b>YouTube live stream video</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S8QZeHCbAI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://ift.tt/3drA2lU> <a href='https://ift.tt/2PVc9qH Python Training</a>
