Hoping someone else will (I may be qualified to give such a talk in the not too distant future, but probably not in the next couple of months). It occurs to me that an adequate presentation--depending on how long meeting presentations are allowed to be--might require two talks, one for a general presentation on the topic, then a second for related Python resources. But that's just off the cuff.
