+
+This event is not stricly speaking a sprint, but to prepare for sprints and Python interviews.
+
+Python interviews often focus in tricky parts of the language, that while not necessarily
+complex, are usually known only by experienced programmers. Examples include:
+
+- Generators
+- Mutability of objects
+- Descriptors
+- Namespaces
+
+The idea of this event is to help attendees understand those concepts, in a fun pub quiz format,
+with some small programming challenges in it.
+
+By the end of the session, attendees should know the answers to many classic Python questions.
+And should have a better knowledge of the language, useful to write better code.
+
