Beautiful Soup at PyCon US 2025

[leonardr]

Next month I'm going to be at PyCon US in Pittsburgh. I look forward to seeing some of the folks I met last year, as well as meeting new people. On Sunday, May 18th, I'll be participating in two open spaces which might be of interest to people on this list:

Still on Python 2? - Sunday, May 18th; 11 AM - 12 PM EST

• An opportunity for software maintainers who are still supporting Python 2.x to talk with people who are still using Python 2.x. What do users need before we can migrate? What do maintainers need to know or get before we can fully deprecate 2.x support? What funding might be necessary to make these happen?

Beautiful Soup: Ask Me Anything - Sunday, May 18th; 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM EST

• An open questions session with Leonard Richardson, the maintainer of screen-scraping library Beautiful Soup. If you've ever used or tried to use it, share your questions, confusions, stuff you've made, concerns, ideas, offers of help, etc. with Leonard in person. If we don't have a ton of questions, we might do some impromptu usability testing to check whether the new type hints help you use the library. 

I hope to see some of you there!
