Styles in Python: How to Stop Tearing Your Hair out Reading Other People's Code

When we talk about code quality, we usually talk about PEP 8, about not naming variables in obscure ways, and about running Black or Ruff or whatever on your code. But what if we take a broader view?

In practice, we have to get into code written with different approaches, so it's useful to be able to 'work in different styles'. Let's take an understandable wordcount task as an example and see how the same thing can be done in different ways and what we get out of it.

The talk will be useful for those who are already 'sick' of LeetCode but want more versatility in their toolbox. And also for anyone who used to write in other languages, but now thinks that since he is a Python developer, there is nothing else to do.
