#pythonista — Public Fediverse posts

Знакомьтесь, Барри Уорсо (цикл заметок о выдающихся питонистах)

Влюбился в Python в 1994-м, придумал PEP как систему управления изменениями в языке, спрятал пасхалку import this в стандартную библиотеку и годами прокладывал Python дорогу в Linux-дистрибутивы. Речь пойдёт о Барри Уорсо (Barry Warsaw) – первом неголландце в ядре Python. Будет интересно!

@mpu after a long hiatus, I went back to listening to podcasts and this is the one I started with. Simply, excellent. I wholeheartedly agree with @drdrang about #Shortcuts . I made them “kind of” work for me by using them as GUI generators and having #Pythonista do the heavy lifting underneath.

Any #pythonista here tried the #uv package manager?

Wondering if I should give it a go, supposedly it is blisteringly fast compared to pip, poetry, etc. However, the speed of resolving dependencies etc is not a crucial thing for me, but I am intrigued because "shiny new thing = good?"

Ah, the noble quest of a #Pythonista venturing into the enchanted land of Ruby symbols. ⚔️🤣 Our brave explorer discovers the ancient art of "Symbols and Why You Should Care"—because apparently, nothing screams excitement like #metaprogramming and chaining symbols. 🤦‍♂️💤

Annnd plz welcome @fyrfli to the collective! 🎉 They've joined us for at least 6 months or so

She does tech stuff, photography, writings, gets disability time, and most important is willing to hang out with us!! :blobfoxbreadsnootgoogly:

Emoji: :firefly: I made for her and for fedi!

They're already vital to Heckin' Tech and I feel so lucky to have her on board!!

I'm in need of a #pythonista to tell me why this code is throwing the error "NameError: local variable referenced before assignment"

Still en route home from #PyConUS sprints.. Looking forward to decompressing in several hours, even though all the intense interactions were inspiring and meaningful. I'm so privileged to have so many #pythonista friends in my life 🫶 #Python

REALLY?

I think I just died and went to #pythonista heaven :)

(Also WOW do I wish I had that feature when I worked at AMZN. Can't tell you how many times I had to try and debug a deeply embedded process running positively GNARLY enterprise Python code!)

I just stumbled on the following #Python code

if not (3 <= len(sys.argv) <= 4):

Which I find quite confusing (or even revolting)
Additionally I think it is wrong as the program takes exactly 2 arguments.
So

if ( len(sys.argv) != 3):

would have been far easier to understand.

Nevertheless, can a #Pythonista please explain me the pattern?

From other programming languages I would have expected it to fail miserably because the evaluation order would have created something like

(3 <= len(sys.argv) )<= 4)

where the first part would evaluate to true or false which both are likely smaller than 4

The last tool on the list is another allrounder 🚀

📦 summarytools (by Dominic Comtois)

I’m a visual person and I like to “see” my data. With a combination of two commands from {summarytools} that’s easy and you get a descriptive overview in your viewer pane in your IDE.

The next #rstats package comes with a full suite of functions to wrangle your data 🛠️

📦 SmartEDA (by Dayanand Ubrangala and others)

I like to use a powerful function to get a brief overview of the data - if you’re looking for more, it can also generate a standardized #HTML report for you.

I like the next one because without creating full-blown plots, you get visuals. How cool is that?

As you can see in the screenshot, calling skimr::skim() gives you a wealth of descriptive statistics - all readily accessible in your console.

I can't present today's package without bias—it was my first #rstats package and taught me a lot about #softwaredevelopment.

I am so incredibly inspired and just a bit overwhelmed by #pyconus2024

I met so many amazing people and saw SO MANY great talks.

I'll definitely be re-watching a few while I take the time to process it all and play with some of the amazing new tools I've been exposed to.

What a truly exceptional community we have. I am very grateful for the huge team of people who clearly gave it their all and proud to be a #pythonista :)

Hi #Python experts / #pythonista (s) - I am looking for recommendations for libraries to model and automate/orchestrate a business process. I need something lightweight that doesn't require a backend (like #airflow) but I need to be able to generate a #DAG to #visualize the business process. TIA.

I am congesting the options for Mastodon apps!

I am making two:
1. An app made in #python3 that only works in #pythonista for iOS because of its only external dependency being the UI module that only works Pythonista
2. An app made in #vlang with its only external dependency being the official UI module

I don't expect these to be used (especially the pythonista one) but it'll be a fun challenge for me to learn to write an API wrapper (and decent UI) :blobcat:

Thank god for the internet and other #StatsNerds like me. Just 12 hours after realizing that the down NHL API is not temp but a permanent shift to a new path, AND despite a number of prominent stats page hosts gatekeeping the information, I found some awesome people who have been working diligently to map the new API.

@_chrismay Indeed!! 🥳👌🙏 However, next problem now: The extractText() function of this old PyPDF2 version unfortunately doesn‘t separate all the text node‘s text with \n or \r (or a combination) like the newer version‘s extract_text() function does. That‘s a big bummer because I really need that in my project. 🧐 Ah, well, maybe I need to switch to the Mac and have to abandon #Pythonista at this point. 🤷‍♂️ @olemoritz
