PyCon SK 2016

For those who don’t know: PyCon means Python Conference, and it’s meant for anyone interested in the programming language.

The file got updated from time to time, but never came as a valid XML – some can hardly be convinced you can’t just write strings instead of numbers or put a “-” anywhere in the file and expect it to be valid. So I had to process every file by hand. And by “hand”, I of course mean regexes or Python, just as...
