Raymond Hettinger's PyCon 2013 talk on transforming code into idiomatic Python through a series of before-and-after refactorings. It shows how to use iterators, dictionaries, named tuples and other language features well.
Why HN recommends it: HN treats it as a must-watch classic for writing Pythonic code, though somewhat dated for modern Python.
