Excellent video. Could you please provide some insights on how you configured your vim settings? If possible please make a video about Vim configuration for Python developers.

I like how he formatted his code with a single space then a save at around 8:10.

Had to fix the syntax error so the formatted could properly parse the Python. Dude is used to coding like this. Epic

Nice! I didnt know this library. Any advantages/disadvantages over confluent-kafka and kafka-python?

Hi, nice tutorial! I know it is only an example app, but it’s ok to keep producer open? Would it be better if we open it only just at write time? Thanks. 🙂👍
