The many useful service accessible through VO standards, and the Table Access Protocol (TAP) in particular, are a treasure trove to your research. If you're using Python, reaching into this trove has just become a lot easier thanks to the recent addition of TAP support to the astropy affiliated package PyVO done by ARI staff. In this talk, we show how this and other PyVO features let you access catalog data, query remote databases, integrate the results with your own code, and make your code play with other VO tools like TOPCAT or Aladin via SAMP. Even if you're not using Python yet: you can take this opportunity to get a taste of what you might be missing.
