You can also opt for a talk which is 30 minutes long. Such talks should typically discuss how to do a certain thing related to Python in a concise way.
We will be providing a buffer of 5-10 minutes between talks so that the presenters get sufficient time to prepare for their talks. However, you should plan and pace your talk so as to leave sufficient time (upto 10 minutes) at the end of the time for audience questions.
