Talk Python to Me is a weekly podcast hosted by developer and entrepreneur Michael Kennedy. We dive deep into the popular packages and software developers, data scientists, and incredible hobbyists doing amazing things with Python. If you’re new to Python, you’ll quickly learn the ins and outs of the community by hearing from the leaders. And if you’ve been Pythoning for years, you’ll learn about your favorite packages and the hot new ones coming out of open source.

With this episode, I hope you’re ready for an inside look at the latest happenings in Flask, one of Python’s most popular web frameworks. David Lord, Flask’s lead maintainer, takes us behind the scenes of recent performance boosts (like a 50% speedup in Werkzeug), the future of async support via Quart, and how the broader Pallets ecosystem is evolving under one umbrella. You’ll also hear about Pallets Eco, which aims to streamline and revive critical Flask extensions, and learn how you can contribute to this massive open-source effort. If you use Flask, want to keep your Python apps on the cutting edge, or just love data-driven insights from top maintainers, this episode is for you.
Flask and its sister libraries are faster, leaner, and more maintainable than ever. The pallets-eco initiative aims to keep the Flask extension ecosystem thriving. David and the Pallets team welcome new contributors, especially folks interested in type annotations, extension maintenance, or community support. Check out the Pallets Discord to get involved!
