Session Description
Python has been making its way into many DCC packages over the last few years, and is quickly supplanting DCC scripting languages as the standard for tool development among technical artists. The aim of this session is to take a step back from the DCC app specific Python functionality that most Technical Artists are by now familiar with and explore some of the lesser known Python facilities that can be used to optimize and enhance DCC-related tasks and tools. Working examples of these concepts will be demonstrated to illustrate how the techniques can be incorporated into a production pipeline.

Intended Audience
This presentation is aimed at Technical Artists, Tools Developers, and technically inclined Production Artists who use Python for tool development or to simplify/enhance everyday DCC-related tasks. Attendees should have a basic understanding of Python and experience writing Python code. An understanding of some of the more advanced built-ins is helpful but not required.
