You've often heard me talk about Python as a superpower. It can amplify whatever you're interested in or what you've specialized in for your career.

This episode is an amazing example of this. You'll meet Cornelius Van Litt. He's a scholar of medieval Islamic philosophy and works at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.

What he's doing with Python is pretty awesome. Even if you aren't interested in digital humanities

in that type of research, the example set by Cornelius is a blueprint for bringing Python into

your world and for those around you. I think you'll enjoy this conversation. This is Talk Python to

me, episode 230 recorded August 27th, 2019. Welcome to Talk Python to me, a weekly podcast on Python, the language, the libraries,

Cornelius, welcome to talk Python to me. Thanks for having me. It's great to have you here. I know we're

going to have a fun conversation talking about digital humanities, which honestly, I didn't know

a whole lot about before we started talking, but it's really a cool

intersection of, well, humanities and software.
