Brian #2: Smart CLIs with Typer Rahul Pai Lots of TILs here, even though I've been using Typer for years. Examples of Auto-detection of arguments and types based on type hints Help text is a smidge clunkier Prompting for missing arguments Defaulting to an enviromental variable for missing args Print help if no args given Explicit app and subcommands with a comparison to argparse Reusable commands with result_callback Several topics covered in comparison with argparse See also Testing argparse Applications Michael #3: Python recommended officially by the US Government The US government explicitly recommends memory safe languages.

Intro: Hello and Welcome to Python Bytes Where we deliver Python news and headlines directly to your earbuds. This is episode 235, recorded May 26 2021 I’m Brian Okken [HTML_REMOVED] [HTML_REMOVED] Brian #1: Flask 2.0 articles and reactions Change list Async in Flask 2.0 Patrick Kennedy on testdriven.io blog Great description discussion of how the async works in Flask 2.0 examples how to test async routes An opinionated review of the most interesting aspects of Flask 2.0 Miguel Grinberg video covers route decorators for common methods, ex @app.post(``"``/``"``) instead of @app.route("/", methods=["POST"]) web socket support async support Also includes some extensions Miguel has written to make things easier Great discussion, worth the 25 min play time. See also: Talk Python Episode 316 Michael #2: Python 3.11 will be 2x faster? via Mike Driscoll From the Python Language summit Guido asks "Can we make CPython faster?” We covered the Shannon Plan for speedups. Small team funded by Microsoft: Eric Snow, Mark Shannon, myself (might grow) Constrains: Mostly don’t break things. How to reach 2x speedup in 3.11 Adaptive, specializing bytecode interpreter “Zero overhead” exception handling Faster integer internals Put __dict__ at a fixed offset (-1?) There’s machine code generation in our future Who will benefit Users running CPU-intensive pure Python code •Users of websites built in Python Users of tools that happen to use Python Vincent #3: DEON, a project with meaningful checklists for data science projects! It’s a command line app that can generate checklists. You customize checklists There’s a set of examples (one for for each check) that explain why the checks it is matter. Make a little course on calmcode to cover it. Brian #4: 3 Tools to Track and Visualize the Execution of your Python Code Khuyen Tran Loguru — print better exceptions we covered in episode 111, Jan 2019, but still super cool snoop — print the lines of code being executed in a function covered in episode 141, July 2019, also still super cool heartrate — visualize the execution of a Python program in real-time this is new to us, woohoo Nice to have one persons take on a group of useful tools Plus great images of them in action. Michael #5: DuckDB + Pandas via __AlexMonahan__ What’s DuckDB? An in-process SQL OLAP database management system SQL on Pandas: After your data has been converted into a Pandas DataFrame often additional data wrangling and analysis still need to be performed. Using DuckDB, it is possible to run SQL efficiently right on top of Pandas DataFrames. Example import pandas as pd import duckdb mydf = pd.DataFrame({'a' : [1, 2, 3]}) print(duckdb.query("SELECT SUM(a) FROM mydf").to_df()) When you run a query in SQL, DuckDB will look for Python variables whose name matches the table names in your query and automatically start reading your Pandas DataFrames. For many queries, you can use DuckDB to process data faster than Pandas, and with a much lower total memory usage, without ever leaving the Pandas DataFrame binary format (“Pandas-in, Pandas-out”). The automatic query optimizer in DuckDB does lots of the hard, expert work you’d need in Pandas. Vincent #6: I work for a company called Rasa. We make a python library to make virtual assistants and there’s a few community projects. There’s a bunch of cool showcases, but one stood out when I was checking our community showcase last week. There’s a project that warns folks about forest fire updates over text. The project is open-sourced on GitHub and can be found here. There’s also a GIF demo here. Amit Tallapragada and Arvind Sankar observed that in the early days of the fires, news outlets and local governments provided a confusing mix of updates about fire containment and evacuation zones, leading some residents to evacuate unnecessarily. They teamed up to build a chatbot that would return accurate information about conditions in individual cities, including nearby fires, air quality, and weather data. What’s cool here isn’t just that Vincent is biased (again, he works for Rasa), it’s also a nice example of grass-roots impact. You can make a lot of impact if there’s open APIs around. They host a scraper that scrapes fire/weather info every 10 seconds. It also fetches evacuation information. You can text a number and it will send you up-to-date info based on your city. It will also notify you if there’s an evacuation order/plan. They even do some fuzzy matching to make sure that your city is matched even when you make a typo. Extras Michael PyCon US 2024 and 2025 Announced Vincent: Human-Learn: a suite of tools to have humans define models before resorting to machines. It’s scikit-learn compatible. One of the main features is that you’re able to draw a model! There’s a small guide that shows how to outperform a deep learning implementation by doing exploratory data analysis. It turns out, you can outperform Keras sometimes. There’s a suite of tools to turn python functions into scikit-learn compatible models. Keyword arguments become grid-search-able.

Steve and Pilky are back and this time they are joined by Steve's older brother, Mike Driscoll. The boys talk about cheugs, getting back on dating apps after a breakup, questions not to ask on a first date, wanting push notifications on high-profile prisoners and a message from our first (actual) sponsor.

In this episode, Sean and Kelly, share a brainstorming activity on designing projects with Python libraries. We have a special guest Mike Driscoll, author of several books and the blog "The Mouse vs The Python". In this episode we will use the Python Library Pillow to brainstorm some creative ways that Pillow can and has been used to teach students about Python Libraries. Coming up with project ideas that are creative, engaging, and allow students the flexibility to explore is one of the most important activities that Sean and Kelly do daily. We love introducing many different aspects of Python and push the boundaries with our students. We often discuss and brainstorm ideas on how we can incorporate libraries that are new to us in the curriculum. Although we have used Pillow very briefly, with the help of expert Mike Driscoll, Sean and I will explore project ideas for using Pillow from 6th grade to developer. Special Guest: Mike Driscoll.
Are you interested in processing images in Python? Do you need to load and modify images for your Flask or Django website or CMS?

This week on the show, we have Mike Driscoll, who is writing a new book about image processing in Python.
Have you wanted to generate advanced reports as PDFs using Python? Maybe you want to build documents with tables, images, or fillable forms. This week on the show we have Mike Driscoll to talk about his book "ReportLab - PDF Processing with Python."

British trampolinist Laura Gallagher has transformed into a completely different person. In her first appearance on SportSpiel (https://sportspielonline.com/2019/03/02/gymnastics-special-laura-gallagher/) the 2017 British Champion bravely opened up about the mental health struggles she faced that subsequently led to her break from the sport. In particular there was a nagging sense that she hadn't fulfilled her potential and that she felt like a failure. (https://sportspielonline.com/2019/03/03/laura-gallagher-i-just-felt-like-a-failure/) But fast forward to now and Laura is in a completely different place and has closed a door. Speaking with Will Moulton she talks about the response from friends and family following her mental health admission and her efforts to close the door on that part of her life. She also talks her new main aim - qualifying for her first Olympic Games in Tokyo next year.
