As a new python developer, do you find memory management in Python confusing? Come to this talk to learn about the basics of how Memory Management works in Python. We'll cover the concepts of reference counting, garbage collection, weak references, __slots__, and the Global Interpreter Lock.
The documentation immediately jumps into difficult to follow concepts, especially if you don't have a background in Computer Science.
I'll provide a simple, easy to follow overview of the concepts that a developer needs to be familiar with in order to scratch the surface of how memory management and garbage collection works in Python.
