I was invited to present on Python and IronPython at the Northern Utah .NET User Group last night. I spent the majority of the time on Python itself, guessing (correctly, with the exception of a couple Zope users) that most people wouldn't know anything about Python beyond having heard of it.
There was a lot of participation. It ended up lasting about 90 minutes, with a lot of Q&A throughout. I enjoyed myself and I think most of the .NET guys did too.
Thanks for the chance to speak! A PDF of my slides is up here.

What is the name of the idiom for this construction?
(lt for lt in l[1:] if lt < l[0])
That doesn't seem to work in python 2.3.5. (Am I mistaken?)
(there's actually a bug there; I was trying to be clever and didn't test it. You'd need to add L = list(L) at the top of qsort for it to work with the gen exps; better would be to stick with list comprehensions. alas.)
