Climbing the Pyramid: Behind the Scenes of the Python Package Index

The Python Packaging Index or PyPI, is used by over a million users. But what is behind the scenes of PyPI? PyPI is currently powered by Warehouse, a software built using Pyramid, a Python web framework. This talk explores Pyramid through the lens of a beginner’s mindset and will lead the audience through the ins and outs of this Python web framework, its utility, and why it still holds its own and stands strong (like a pyramid!) among other comparable web frameworks.
