I found this PyCon2010 presentation to be excellent:
The Mighty Dictionary, Branden Craig Rhodes, 30 min.
http://pycon.blip.tv/file/3264041/

Even knowing Python for over a decade, I learned a few things.

Is this available as a paper?

Unfortunately, that clip seems to be unwatchable, at least for me. It
crashed the Netscape plugin in Konqueror, and crashed Firefox. When I
downloaded the ogv file, it crashed MPlayer and Kaffeine. Before
crashing, in all four players, it displayed random blocks of colours and
lines while the sound played.

Not a good advertisement for either BlipTV or Ogg :(

It played in VLC without problems.

Sorry,
http://pycon.blip.tv/file/3332763/

which plays fine in FF3.6 on windows

wrong file number

The flash version does not work for me. This is true of about 1/3 of the
Pycon 2010 videos that I have tried. The .ogv version of this and all
others that I have tried (hit Download under Comments) plays fine within
FF3.6 on my windows xp machine. Perhaps there is a linux-specific bug,
if that is what you are running under.

Amusingly, the FLV files play perfectly for me under Linux, while the OGV
files don't :)

Thanks for the links, the videos are very interesting.
