Explore the inner workings of code completion in Python through this insightful PyCon US talk. Delve into the process of parsing and compiling Python code, understand the concept of Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs), and discover how these elements contribute to predicting a programmer's next input. Witness a live demonstration of building a basic code completer in just five minutes, illustrating the accessibility of this technology. Draw parallels between code completion and game programming, expand your understanding of "types" in Python, and learn how external information can enhance the coding experience. Gain valuable insights into the "magic" behind code completion and how it improves the overall satisfaction of writing code.
