*Topics*

   - *What's in your AI code? Learn why every SCA tool is wrong, and how to
   deal with it*
   By: Anand Sawant

   With the rise in AI, there is more focus on Python dependency management
   and SCA scanning. Python's dependency management system makes it easy for
   developers to leave dependencies out of the manifest. This means that
   almost every SCA tool that relies on a manifest will be wrong. We show how
   leveraging program analysis techniques one can avoid the pitfalls of these
   so-called phantom dependencies.
   - *must use correc snek: python for Debian and derivatives*
   By: Heather White

   What's the difference between "sudo apt install python3.12" and "wget
   ... && ./configure && make && make test && sudo make install"?
   Do I need to use a virtual environment in my docker container?
   I installed python, but it didn't come with pip.
   Let's take a look at python on Debian.  It runs both your OS and your
   web app, and it's weirder than you think.
   - *BluPants: open-source educational Python bots*
   By: Marcelo Sacchetin

   This talk is about an open-source educational project based on Python:
   blupants.com. My goal is to present it to the audience and hopefully
   find more people passionate about the topic like me who would be willing to
   help as open-source contributors. Attendees will learn how to use the REST
   API to control robots and how to extend it to new platforms and robots.
