This thread is 7 months old but it contains a few good links I think : http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1rs7ub/what_are_some_mustwatch_python_videos .

Most of them are already here and I didn't have a chance to skim it but maybe me future-myself or anyone else will want to do it.

I'll definitely take another look at this; thanks!

~~http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSGv2VnC0go : idiomatic python : talk by a core dev about some things that should be done one kind of way over the other. Helps get "into the pythonic mindset" of sorts. Good if you want to learn a bit more about what "good" python should look or at least act like.~~

~~http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obt-vMVdM8s : understanding the python GIL : If you are going to do multi-threading (even for I/O!) this is a talk that you should watch, some details about the GIL make even I/O bound stuff take longer than it should. Note that these are basically all corner cases and if you know about them it tends to be easy to work around it. I found this when I (similar to the first ~5 minutes) had code running faster on a single core than my quad core!~~

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2yfXnUb1S4 : don't do this : Python has some edges/corners that are... unpleasant if abused. However each one of them exists for a reason, (eg AST parsing, one of the big ones he plays with) a nice talk to learn about the ways in which python can be dynamically changed in weird ways.

Thanks @SylvainDe. I've started watching the non-crossed ones to see which one's seem to be "must-watch". I will then post those names here and we can see if we can agree on a list.

Thanks again; awesome contributions.

I'm going go over the videos that I still haven't watched from this list and close this issue by the end of this week.
