    Speaking of air gaps, here's David Beazley's wonderful classic talk about using Python as a secret weapon while locked in a vault:

    >So, what happens when you lock a Python programmer in a secret vault containing 1.5 TBytes of C++ source code and no internet connection? Find out as I describe how I used Python as a secret weapon of "discovery" in an epic legal battle.

    >So much dry, geeky wit... Beazley should be a stand-up comic. This is probably the most entertaining talk from the entire 2014 PyCon.

    >"This is my attempt to come up with the most boring talk title at the Pycon... that was actually one of the review in the submission..."

    >"These are usually like the people at the law firm who haven't made partner yet, their job's probably on the line..."

    >"You're gonna get all sorts of fun reading assignments...you read that, and it's just like your head explodes" (slide image shows dude from Scanners)

    >"And the provided tools were Windows XP - awesome. The Windows command prompt - awesome. The Search Mutt - (audience erupts in laughter) [...] pretty awesome. Notepad [...] and then b/c they were feeling generous, they had Visual Studio on there."

    >"By good fortune, I actually wrote the Python book, and I was allowed to bring books into the vault, so I was like OK, I'll be right back, I'm gonna go get my book..."

    >His tutorial on generators was also really excellent. Lots of respect for him, he's really skilled at presenting technical concepts in an entertaining and engaging way.
