EdmontonPy December 2019: Rounding and Generators in Python
This month, community members are giving talks about Python's rounding behaviour and some of the gotchas, as well as how, when and why to use generators. Both concepts may be new to a lot of those learning Python, so give these talks a look to see what Ken and Sam have learned during their time!
