Hi @username-amarjit, thanks for proposing this talk! We would be eager to see your slides, but please feel free to discuss them more or keep updating your proposal as you like. The premise of the talk (explanation + a code demo) should work well.

Also, could you please update the GitHub Gist you've added as part of the resources or switch to an alternative? The script supports Python 2 only, and I would be pretty surprised if the percentage of newcomers to Python who are starting with Python 2.x at this time isn't negligibly low.

We haven't started planning our meetup for next month yet; they are usually on the third Saturday of each month, so the next one is slated to be on the 17th of May (with the venue undecided as of now).

I shall mark this with the "needs more information" label for now, as this helps us track proposals/issues as they come in.
