Do your applications call a lot of APIs? Maybe you have a bunch of microservices driving your app. You probably don't have the crazy combinatorial explosion that Zapier does for connecting APIs! They have millions of users automating things with 1,000s of APIs. It's pretty crazy. And they are doing it all with Python. Join me and Bryan Helmig, the CTO and co-founder of Zapier as we discuss how they pull this off with Python.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Zapier</b>: <a href="https://zapier.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">zapier.com</a><br/> <b>Bryan on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/bryanhelmig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@bryanhelmig</a><br/> <b>Jobs at Zapier</b>: <a href="https://zapier.com/jobs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">zapier.com/jobs</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/ting'>ting</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

It's time to catch up with the Anaconda crew and see what's new in the Anaconda distribution. This edition of Python was created to solve some of the stickier problems of deployment, especially in the data science space. Their usage gives them deep insight into how Python is being used in the enterprise space as well. Which turns out to be a very interesting part of the conversation.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Anaconda</b>: <a href="https://www.anaconda.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anaconda.com</a><br/> <b>Peter on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/pwang" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@pwang</a><br/> <b>JetBrains Survey Results</b>: <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/research/devecosystem-2018/python/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">jetbrains.com</a><br/> <b>AnacondaCon</b>: <a href="https://anacondacon.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anacondacon.io</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

A recent twitter poll went around the web and it asked, what percentage of the Python standard library do you think you know? Someone copied me on it, maybe expecting some really high percentage answer. In reality, what I did answer and my rough estimate is that it's probably around 50%. <br/> <br/> This episode with Alessandro Molina definitely helped confirm that experience for me. He just published a book entitled "Modern Python Standard Library Cookbook" and it's full of these great little corners of the standard library that you might not have bumped into but you'll be super glad to hear about on this episode!<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Book: Modern Python Standard Library Cookbook</b>: <a href="https://amzn.to/2D4tV3F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">amazon.com</a><br/> <b>Alessandro on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/__amol__" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@__amol__</a><br/> <b>DukPy project</b>: <a href="https://github.com/amol-/dukpy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>TurboGears</b>: <a href="http://www.turbogears.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turbogears.org</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

If you are doing any sort of data exploration, you've likely heard about Jupyter notebooks. In fact, there are quite a few options for running and hosting your Jupyter notebooks. You may have heard me rave about PyCharm as an editor too. Well, on this episode, you'll meet Adam Hood from the Datalore team at JetBrains. That's a new project that tries to bring some of the power of PyCharm to notebooks and more.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Datalore</b>: <a href="https://datalore.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener">datalore.io</a><br/> <b>Datalore blog</b>: <a href="https://blog.datalore.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blog.datalore.io</a><br/> <b>Datalore on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/datalorejb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@datalorejb</a><br/> <b>The Scientific Paper Is Obsolete</b>: <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/04/the-scientific-paper-is-obsolete/556676/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">theatlantic.com</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

When you think of learning Python, what type of developer or technologist comes to mind? Is it someone looking to get their first job or maybe moving from .NET to Python and looking for a shift in their careers? <br/> <br/> While these are common moves, you may be surprised how many folks within a tech company learn new languages like Python to stay within that company. On this episode, you'll meet Ron Hayden. He founded the Software University internal training program at Apple and is now doing his own independent training around Python. <br/> <br/> I think you'll find his story an interesting element in the mosaic of Python.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Ron on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/conquerprogram1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@conquerprogram1</a><br/> <b>Conquer Programming with Python</b>: <a href="http://conquerprogramming.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conquerprogramming.com</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/bolt'>CloudBolt</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

How do you learn programming when you're working in a vacuum? Sure there are resources on the internet, but sometimes just bouncing ideas of others in person makes a huge difference.

When you think about Microsoft, do you think about Python? Maybe not, but you probably should.

What do most web servers do most of the time? They wait. They wait on external systems while processing a request. <br/> <br/> Think about a standard web request to an ecommerce site where you are logged in. You send it a session cookie and a URL. It pulls a bunch of items from a database, a Redis cache, and an external API. <br/> <br/> Virtually all this time is spent waiting. That is exactly what asyncio is built for. But to take advantage of it in Python web frameworks, the framework itself has to support async methods. <br/> <br/> That's what Sanic was built to do. On this episode, you'll meet Adam Hopkins who is leading the Sanic project.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Adam on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/admhpkns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@admhpkns</a><br/> <b>Sanic</b>: <a href="https://sanicframework.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sanicframework.org</a><br/> <b>Matrix Retail (Adam's workplace)</b>: <a href="http://www.matrixretail.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">matrixretail.com</a><br/> <b>Sanic discussion and community</b>: <a href="https://community.sanicframework.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">community.sanicframework.org</a><br/> <b>awesome-asyncio list</b>: <a href="https://github.com/timofurrer/awesome-asyncio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/timofurrer/awesome-asyncio</a><br/> <b>Sanic extensions</b>: <a href="https://sanic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sanic/extensions.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sanic.readthedocs.io</a><br/> <b>pytest-sanic</b>: <a href="https://sanic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sanic/testing.html#pytest-sanic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sanic.readthedocs.io</a><br/> <b>Django async roadmap</b>: <a href="https://www.aeracode.org/2018/06/04/django-async-roadmap/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aeracode.org</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

How do you keep track of the security, configuration states, and even out of date system level packages in your servers? What if you had 40,000 or more servers? How's your process scale? I'll tell you, mine would take some tweaks! <br/> <br/> On this episode, you'll meet Colton Myers who built HubbleStack. HubbleStack is an open-source security compliance framework. It provides on-demand profile-based auditing, real-time security event notifications, alerting, and reporting.

Do you or your team maintain a large Python 2 code base? Would you like to move to Python 3 but there's just too much in place keeping you on legacy Python? Then you will definitely enjoy this story from Jason Fried. He created a grassroots campaign to move Facebook's massive Python 2 codebase to Python 3 and he made Python 3 part of the culture.

How can we make learning Python and teaching Python more real for students, especially younger students? The BBC in the UK had a great idea. Make it more physically real with actual devices. That's where Nicholas Tollervey got involved.

Python is taking over much of the development world as it quickly is becoming one of the, or simply the most widely used programming languages. But that does not mean that Python is without its weaknesses. In my mind, there are three such weaknesses: #1 GUIs applications, #2 Native, general purpose mobile apps (iOS and Android), #3 deployment as a single binary or set of binary and resource files. <br/> <br/> This episode is primarily about #1, the GUI frameworks. One of the best such frameworks looking to make Python a better language for desktop applications is Qt, namely Qt for Python. This week you'll meet Cristián Maureira-Fredes from to tell us all about this revitalization of the Qt and Python space. <br/> <br/> But you will also learn that they have aspirations to make Qt for Python and option for mobile app development and to solve the deployment problem as well. <br/> <br/> That hits all three of the weak spots and we can only be rooting for them to solve them!<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Cristián's website</b>: <a href="https://maureira.xyz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maureira.xyz</a><br/> <b>Cristián on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/cmaureir" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@cmaureir</a><br/> <b>Cristián on Github</b>: <a href="https://github.com/cmaureir" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@cmaureir</a><br/> <b>Cristián on LinkedIn</b>: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmaureir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">linkedin.com</a><br/> <br/> <b>Qt for Python</b>: <a href="https://www.qt.io/qt-for-python" target="_blank" rel="noopener">qt.io/qt-for-python</a><br/> <b>Qt for Python (Wiki)</b>: <a href="https://pyside.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pyside.org</a><br/> <b>Webinar (video)</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKqLaNqxgas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>Webinar (slides)</b>: <a href="https://maureira.xyz/webinar/#/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maureira.xyz/webinar</a><br/> <b>Shiboken</b>: <a href="https://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/05/31/write-python-bindings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blog.qt.io</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Join me and Doug Farrell as we discuss his career and what he's up to at Shutterfly. You'll learn about the Python stack he's using to work with, not just with bits and bytes, but physical devices on a production line for creating all sorts of picturesque items.

Listeners often tell me one of the really valuable aspects of this podcast is the packages and libraries that they learn about and start using in their projects from guests and myself. On this episode, I've invited Brian Okken (my co-host over on Python Bytes) to take this to 11. We are going to cover the top 30 Python packages from the past year (metric to be determined later in the show). <br/><br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Brian</b>: <a

Flask is now 8 years old and until recently had gone along pretty steady state. It had been hanging around at version 0.11 and 0.12 for some time. After a year-long effort, the web framework has now been updated to Flask 1.0. <br/> <br/> David Lord is here to share the big news with. He's the maintainer of Flask and we dive into the new features as well as the future directions of Flask with him. <br/> <br/> Bio photo credit: Paul Collins (@paul_collins)<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>David Lord on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/davidism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@davidism</a><br/> <b>David Lord's site</b>: <a href="https://davidism.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">davidism.com</a><br/> <b>Flask site</b>: <a href="http://flask.pocoo.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flask.pocoo.org</a><br/> <b>Pallets Project</b>: <a href="https://palletsprojects.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">palletsprojects.com</a><br/> <b>Pallets GitHub Org</b>: <a href="https://github.com/pallets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/pallets</a><br/> <b>Donate to Pallets (redirects to PSF)</b>: <a href="https://palletsprojects.com/donate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">palletsprojects.com/donate</a><br/> <b>Authlib package</b>: <a href="https://authlib.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authlib.org</a><br/> <b>Flask-Talisman</b>: <a href="https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/flask-talisman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/flask-talisman</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/10x'>10x Management</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

The Python landscape is changing pretty dramatically. Python's rapid growth over the past 5 years means it doesn't look the same as the early days.

Quick, name some ways to make your Python code faster. Did you think PyPy, the JIT-compiled version of Python? Maybe some async and await parallelism? How about Cython where you write in Python-esc language that compiles to machine instructions? <br/> <br/> I'm here to add a new one to your vocabulary. Nuitka. Nuitka is like Cython in that your Python code is compiled into true machine instructions rather than interpreted. But unlike Cython, you can take standard Python 3 without changing the syntax at all and compile it. <br/> <br/> And Kay Hayen is here to take us on the journey of Nuitka, a project he created and has been overseeing for some time.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Nuitka project</b>: <a href="http://nuitka.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nuitka.net</a><br/> <b>Nuitka EuroPython Talk</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8RRbT4BTEw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube</a><br/> <b>Kay on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/KayHayen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@KayHayen</a><br/> <br/> <b>Packages</b><br/> <b>Ansible</b>: <a href="https://www.ansible.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ansible.com</a><br/> <b>Nikola</b>: <a href="https://getnikola.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">getnikola.com</a><br/> <b>Buildbot</b>: <a href="https://buildbot.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">buildbot.net</a><br/> <b>Pipenv</b>: <a href="https://docs.pipenv.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">docs.pipenv.org</a><br/> <br/> <b>Data-driven Pyramid web course</b>: <a href="/pyramid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm/pyramid</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/cox'>Cox Automotive</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Do you write Python software that uses the network, opens files, or accepts user input? Of course you do! That's what almost all software does. But these actions can let bad actors exploit mistakes and oversights we've made to compromise our systems. <br/> <br/> Python is safer than some languages, but there are plenty of issues to be careful about.

We have evolved from, "It builds, ship it!" to continuous integration where every check-in is automatically verified by something like Travis CI. Taking that further, some people are using continuous delivery. This means, once a check-in is validated by the CI system, it's deployed -- automatically. <br/> <br/> There are many moving parts in these processes.

What is the fastest, most scalable web platform? Is it Pyramid running on top of MongoDB with a Redis cache? Maybe Flask and Postgres as a service? Some funky Go API framework? <br/> <br/> No. It's static files. But today that does not mean you write a bunch of HTML. With static site frameworks like Lektor and Pelican, you can use data to drive the creation of static sites and then host those wherever makes the most sense for you. <br/> <br/> On this episode, you'll meet Joseph Nix who works on Lektor, a Python based static site generator.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Lektor</b>: <a href="https://www.getlektor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">getlektor.com</a><br/> <b>Lektor on Github</b>: <a href="https://github.com/lektor/lektor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/lektor/lektor</a><br/> <b>Terminal Labs</b>: <a href="https://terminallabs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">terminallabs.com</a><br/> <b>Terminal Labs blog</b>: <a href="https://terminallabs.com/blog" target="_blank" rel="noopener">terminallabs.com/blog</a><br/> <b>Rambo</b>: <a href="https://github.com/terminal-labs/rambo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/terminal-labs/rambo</a><br/> <b>Joseph on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/nixjdm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@nixjdm</a><br/> <b>Lektor on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/getlektor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@getlektor</a><br/> <b>Terminal labs on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/terminal_labs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@terminal_labs</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Python is often described as a "batteries included" language and ecosystem. In fact, that's been taken so far that there is even a delightful Easter egg in the Python REPL. Just type "import antigravity" to see what I mean. <br/> <br/> Where do these powerful packages come from? Well, the Python Package Index or PyPI. <br/> <br/> On this episode, you will meet Nicole Harris, Ernest Durbin III, and Dustin Ingram. They were part of the team that has just launched the new version of PyPI over at pypi.org. <br/> <br/> Not only have they given us a great new website around packaging in Python.

You've surely heard of quantum computing and quantum computers. They are based on the (often) non-intuitive nature of very small particles described by quantum mechanics.

One of the hottest areas of growth for Python is in the scientific and data science communities. But if that work is done in an academic or research setting, it can be very hard to get proper credit for it. You have to write full on peer reviewed articles. <br/> <br/> That's where Arfon Smith and JOSS or The Journal of Open Source Software come in. Here developer-scientists and other research-oriented folks can submit their software as a brief paper. <br/> <br/> Join us on this episode to learn all about that and Arfon's work with some of the most cutting-edge projects in Astronomy at the Space Telescope Science Institute.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Arfon on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/arfon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@arfon</a><br/> <b>Announcing The Journal of Open Source Software</b>: <a href="http://arfon.org/announcing-the-journal-of-open-source-software/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arfon.org</a><br/> <b>The Journal of Open Source Software</b>: <a href="http://joss.theoj.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joss.theoj.org</a><br/> <b>Become a reviewer</b>: <a href="https://joss.theoj.org/reviewer-signup.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joss.theoj.org/reviewer-signup.html</a><br/> <b>A quick tour of a few papers</b>: <a href="http://joss.theoj.org/papers/accepted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joss.theoj.org/papers/accepted</a><br/> <b>Zooniverse</b>: <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">zooniverse.org</a><br/> <b>Making Your Code Citable</b>: <a href="https://guides.github.com/activities/citable-code/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">guides.github.com/activities/citable-code</a><br/> <b>BATMAN article review</b>: <a href="https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/476" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews</a><br/> <b>Space Telescope Science Institute</b>: <a href="http://www.stsci.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stsci.edu</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/activestate'>ActiveState</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Learning about programming libraries and languages is useful and interesting. But sometimes knowing WHY certain decisions were made or the history leading up to some change or package being created gives you a deeper understanding. <br/> <br/> That's what this episode is all about.

Since 2008 there has been this tension in Python where the much of the effort to improve Python has been on Python 3 whereas many developers were left stuck on Python 2 primarily because important packages were not yet Python 3 capable. <br/> <br/> We've moved into a new era where most packages anyone uses is fully Python 3 enabled and many are Python 3 only (the latest Django framework for example). There are many carrots and a number of heavy sticks encouraging us all to move to Python 3. <br/> <br/> But what if you have a large code base that needs to be migrated? What are the concrete steps and the gotchas in this whole process? <br/> <br/> This week, we welcome back Anthony Shaw to show. He just published a new course on migrating Python 2 code and he's here to share his tips.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Anthony on twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/anthonypjshaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@anthonypjshaw</a><br/> <b>Anthony's Pluralsight Python 2 to 3 course</b>: <a href="https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/python-2-to-python-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pluralsight.com/courses/python-2-to-python-3</a><br/> <b>Instagram keynote</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66XoCk79kjM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>APIStar</b>: <a href="https://github.com/encode/apistar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/encode/apistar</a><br/> <b>Quart</b>: <a href="https://hackernoon.com/3x-faster-than-flask-8e89bfbe8e4f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hackernoon.com</a><br/> <b>sphinxcontrib-confluencebuilder</b>: <a href="https://github.com/tonybaloney/sphinxcontrib-confluencebuilder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/tonybaloney/sphinxcontrib-confluencebuilder</a><br/> <br/> <b>Sponsored links</b><br/> <b>Linode</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/linode" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm/linode</a><br/> <b>Rollbar</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/rollbar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm/rollbar</a><br/> <b>Eve REST course</b>: <a href="https://training.talkpython.fm/courses/explore_eve/eve-building-restful-mongodb-backed-apis-course" target="_blank" rel="noopener">training.talkpython.fm</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Python is often used in big-data situations. One of the more personal sources of large data sets is our own genetic code. Of course, as Python grows stronger in data science, it's finding its place in biology and genetics. <br/> <br/> In this episode, you'll meet Ian Maurer.

Are you considering getting into web programming? Choosing a web framework (like Pyramid, Flask, or Django) can be daunting. It would be great to see them all build out the same application and compare the results side-by-side. <br/> <br/> That's why when I heard what Nick Hunt-Walker was up to, I had to have him on the podcast. He and I will chat about 4 web frameworks, compared. He built a data-driven web app with Flask, Tornado, Pyramid and Django and then put it all together in a presentation. We are going to dive into that.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Nick on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/nhuntwalker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@nhuntwalker</a><br/> <b>Nick on the web</b>: <a href="http://www.rationalwhimsy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rationalwhimsy.com</a><br/> <b>500 Lines Book Chapter</b>: <a href="http://www.aosabook.org/en/500L/a-web-crawler-with-asyncio-coroutines.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aosabook.org/en/500L</a><br/> <b>The App on GitHub</b>: <a href="https://github.com/PythonToDoList" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/PythonToDoList</a><br/> <b>PyCascades conference</b>: <a href="https://www.pycascades.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pycascades.com</a><br/> <b>Code Fellows course</b>: <a href="https://www.codefellows.org/courses/code-400/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">codefellows.org</a><br/> <b>PUPY Meetup</b>: <a href="https://www.meetup.com/PSPPython/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meetup.com/PSPPython</a><br/> <b>The talk (video)</b>: <a href="https://youtu.be/YBBMI_aAHf8?t=2h3m" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtu.be/YBBMI_aAHf8?t=2h3m</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

There has been a bunch of new Python web frameworks coming out in the past few years. Generally, these have been focused solely on Python 3 and have tried to leverage Python's new async and await features. <br/> <br/> However, generally these frameworks have come with their own new APIs. They may be amazing but it's something new to learn and a barrier to migrating over to them. <br/> <br/> That's why when I learned about Quart from Philip Jones, I was excited. It's an async-enabled web framework that attempts to be 100% compatible with Flask, including the extensions.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Quart</b>: <a href="https://gitlab.com/pgjones/quart" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gitlab.com/pgjones/quart</a><br/> <b>3x faster Flask apps</b>: <a href="https://hackernoon.com/3x-faster-than-flask-8e89bfbe8e4f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hackernoon.com</a><br/> <b>Phil's PyCon UK Talk</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgpQcLy1kf0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com/watch?v=EgpQcLy1kf0</a><br/> <b>Reddit Announcement</b>: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/6owgel/introducing_quart_an_asyncio_implementation_of/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reddit.com</a><br/> <b>PeeWee ORM Async</b>: <a href="https://github.com/05bit/peewee-async" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/05bit/peewee-async</a><br/> <b>Controlling Python Async Creep article</b>: <a href="https://hackernoon.com/controlling-python-async-creep-ec0a0f4b79ba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hackernoon.com</a><br/> <br/> <b>Sponsored links</b><br/> <b>Smarkets careers</b>: <a href="https://smarkets.com/careers/?utm_source=talkpython" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smarkets.com/careers</a><br/> <b>Rollbar error monitoring</b>: <a href="https://rollbar.com/talkpythontome" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rollbar.com</a><br/> <b>Talk Python courses</b>: <a href="https://training.talkpython.fm/?utm_source=talkpython_fm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">training.talkpython.fm</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/smarkets'>$markets</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

How many Python developers do you know that learned Python quickly but then plateaued pretty quickly as well. Maybe this is someone you worked with or maybe it's even you. Python's clean and simple syntax can mean it's easy to learn but hard to master. <br/> <br/> After all, maybe it was learned it in a week. What else is there? <br/> <br/> Plenty. And Dan Bader is here to share his very popular Python tricks with us. You'll learn to look deeper for more than just how but why and when of many Python's more subtle features.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Dan on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/dbader_org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@dbader_org</a><br/> <b>Dan on the web</b>: <a href="https://dbader.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dbader.org</a><br/> <b>Python Tricks book</b>: <a href="https://dbader.org/products/python-tricks-book/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dbader.org/products/python-tricks-book</a><br/> <b>Python Tricks on Amazon</b>: <a href="http://amzn.to/2BTOIFy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">amzn.to/2BTOIFy</a><br/> <b>Pythonista Cafe</b>: <a href="https://www.pythonistacafe.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pythonistacafe.com</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

How do you learn libraries or parts of Python itself that you don't have actual work projects involving them?

Have you noticed that web development is kind of hard? If you've been doing it for a long time, this is easy to forget. It probably sounds easy enough to <br/> <br/> Pick a server side framework (Pyramid or Django?) <br/> Create a new project (pcreate, cookiecutter, manage.py, …) <br/> Install some client side dependencies with NPM <br/> Install some server side dependencies with pip <br/> Create a database (and maybe even a server install)! <br/> Connect the app to the db (securely) <br/> Pick a front-end framework (Bootstrap or Foundation?) <br/> Integrate it <br/> Whoa: Now you write code <br/> Ugh, time to deploy <br/> <br/> Oh wait, that doesn't sound so easy. <br/> <br/> What if the web was easy as old school VB 6 with drag-drop and double-click for event handlers, but with Python of course. <br/> <br/> With Anvil, you'll see it really is that quick to get started!

Design has become a critical element in software. Back in the 90's, it was fine to produce or sell "battleship grey" apps that worked by did not do much to delight. Today, design is table stakes. And knowing how to design applications yourself and work with designers is a key still. <br/> <br/> This episode, you'll meet James Stone who straddles that gap between developers and designers (he's both).

We all have smartphones these days. And we take them with us everywhere we go. How much could you infer about a person (their stage in life, their driving style, their work / life balance) based on just a phone's motion and GPS data? <br/> <br/> With the right mix of analytics and machine learning, turns out you can learn a lot about a person. Are they a dog-owning workaholic? Or an early rising parent of young children? <br/> <br/> This week you'll meet Vincent Spruyt. He is the chief data scientist at Sentiance. A company building an SDK to answer these exact questions.

Data science has been one of the major driving forces behind the explosion of Python in recent years. It's now used for AI research, controls some of the most powerful telescopes in the world, tracks crop growth and prediction and so much more. <br/> <br/> But with all this growth, there is an explosion of data science and machine learning libraries.

Full featured web frameworks such as Django are great. But sometimes, living closer to the network layer is just the thing you need. <br/> <br/> This week you'll meet Kurt Griffiths and John Vrbanac who work on the Falcon web framework. It's a bare-metal Python web API framework for building very fast app backends and microservices. <br/> <br/> How bare metal? Well, other frameworks like the Hug REST framework even build upon Falcon.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Kurt Griffiths on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/kgriffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@kgriffs</a><br/> <b>John Vrbanac on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/jvrbanac" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@jvrbanac</a><br/> <br/> <b>Falcon Framework</b>: <a href="https://falconframework.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">falconframework.org</a><br/> <b>Falcon Docs</b>: <a href="https://falcon.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">falcon.readthedocs.io</a><br/> <b>Falcon on GitHub</b>: <a href="https://github.com/falconry/falcon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/falconry/falcon</a><br/> <b>Tutorial</b>: <a href="https://falcon.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/tutorial.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">falcon.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/tutorial.html</a><br/> <b>Add on catalog</b>: <a href="https://github.com/falconry/falcon/wiki/Add-on-Catalog" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/falconry/falcon/wiki/Add-on-Catalog</a><br/> <b>Gitter channel</b>: <a href="https://gitter.im/falconry/user" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gitter.im/falconry/user</a><br/> <br/> <b>testing.(postgresql, redis, mysqld) packages</b>: <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/testing.postgresql" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pypi.python.org/pypi/testing.postgresql</a><br/> <b>uvicorn</b>: <a href="https://github.com/encode/uvicorn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/encode/uvicorn</a><br/> <b>magic-wormhole</b>: <a href="https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/warner/magic-wormhole</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/datadog'>Datadog</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

When you think of networks, you probably think of physic things: Routers, switches, firewalls, and more. But increasingly, network engineers are managing massive networks that are better managed with software than via admin applications. <br/> <br/> On this episode, you'll meet David Barroso who created NAPALM: A vendor neutral, cross-platform open source project that provides a unified API to network devices.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>David on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/dbarrosop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@dbarrosop</a><br/> <br/> <b>NAPALM</b>: <a href="https://napalm-automation.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">napalm-automation.net</a><br/> <b>NAPALM on GitHub</b>: <a href="https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/napalm-automation/napalm</a><br/> <b>NAPALM docs</b>: <a href="https://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">napalm.readthedocs.io</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

To make software useful, honestly, to even make it real, you have to ship it. Building a web app? Then deploy that next version. Building a toolset for data scientists? Send them that application. Managed to get a cool GUI going in Python with Togo or PySide? Time to have your users start downloading it. <br/> <br/> Python is an amazing ecosystem. But one of the frailer parts of it has been shipping and deploying software - especially to end users.

Containers are revolutionizing the way we deploy and manage applications. These containers allow us to build, develop, test, and even deploy on the exact same system. We can build layered systems that fill in our dependencies. They even can play a crucial role in zero-downtime upgrades. <br/> <br/> This is great, until you end up with 5 different types of containers, each of them scaled out, and you need to get them to work together, discover each other and upgrade together. That's where Kubernetes comes it. <br/> <br/> Today you'll meet Kelsey Hightower, a developer advocate on Google's cloud platform.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Kelsey on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@kelseyhightower</a><br/> <b>Kelsey's PyCon Keynote</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_iAXzy3xBA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com/watch?v=u_iAXzy3xBA</a><br/> <b>Kubernetes</b>: <a href="https://kubernetes.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kubernetes.io</a><br/> <b>Kubernetes on GitHub</b>: <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/kubernetes</a><br/> <b>FREE COURSE Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes by Google</b>: <a href="https://www.udacity.com/course/scalable-microservices-with-kubernetes--ud615" target="_blank" rel="noopener">udacity.com/course/scalable-microservices-with-kubernetes--ud615</a><br/> <br/> <b>Classic Programmer Paintings</b>: <a href="http://classicprogrammerpaintings.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">classicprogrammerpaintings.com</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

APIs were once the new and enabling thing in technology. Today they are table-stakes. And getting them right is important. Today we'll talk about one of the most popular and mature API frameworks in Django REST Framework. You'll meet the creator, Tom Christie and talk about the framework, API design, and even his successful take on funding open source projects. <br/> <br/> But Tom is not done here.

What if you could take the experience and insight from 100 job interviews and use them to find just the right job. You'd be able to weed out the bad places that are not the right fit. You'd see that low-ball offer coming a mile away and move right along. <br/> <br/> But, no one could really do 100 consecutive interviews, right?

The past few years have seen an explosion of IoT devices. Many of these are for the so-called smart home. Their true potential lies in the ability to coordinate and automate them as a group. <br/> <br/> How can you garage, wifi, chromecast, and window shades work together automatically? Chances are these are all from different manufacturers with different protocols and apps. That's why you need something like Home Assistant.

Think about how you learn most technical or detail-oriented subjects? <br/> <br/> You start at the bottom, lowest level and you create building blocks and work your way into the actual thing you care about. This happens in engineering, in math, and even in programming. <br/> <br/> Our guest this week, Dr. Allen Downey, believes that computation and programming can help us turn this inside-out way of teaching right-side out again. <br/> <br/> Join Allen and me as we discuss programming as a way of thinking and physical modeling and engineering in Python.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Dr. Allen Downey</b>: <a href="http://www.olin.edu/faculty/profile/allen-downey/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">olin.edu/faculty/profile/allen-downey</a><br/> <b>Allen’s web page</b>: <a href="http://www.allendowney.com/wp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allendowney.com</a><br/> <b>Allen’s blog</b>: <a href="http://allendowney.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allendowney.blogspot.com</a><br/> <b>Allen on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/allendowney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@allendowney</a><br/> <b>Programming as a Way of Thinking</b>: <a href="https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/programming-as-a-way-of-thinking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blogs.scientificamerican.com</a><br/> <b>Think Python book</b>: <a href="http://greenteapress.com/wp/think-python/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">greenteapress.com/wp/think-python</a><br/> <b>Think OS book</b>: <a href="http://greenteapress.com/thinkos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">greenteapress.com/thinkos</a><br/> <b>Pint package</b>: <a href="https://pint.readthedocs.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pint.readthedocs.io</a><br/> <b>ModSim14 course (slight older version)</b>: <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/modsim14/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sites.google.com/site/modsim14</a><br/> <b>Modeling and Simulation video</b>: <a href="http://www.olin.edu/academics/experience/modeling-simulation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">olin.edu/academics/experience/modeling-simulation</a><br/> <b>Early work on the book and code</b>: <a href="https://github.com/AllenDowney/ModSimPython" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com/AllenDowney/ModSimPython</a><br/> <br/> <b>Sponsored links</b><br/> <b>Linode</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/linode" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm/linode</a><br/> <b>Rollbar</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/rollbar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm/rollbar</a><br/> <b>Talk Python Courses</b>: <a href="https://training.talkpython.fm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">training.talkpython.fm</a><br/> <b>MongoDB Course</b>: <a href="https://training.talkpython.fm/courses/explore_mongodb_for_python_developers_course/mongodb-for-python-for-developers-featuring-orm-odm-mongoengine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">training.talkpython.fm/courses</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/linode'>Linode</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Let's consider the progression we've been on over the past 15 or so years. <br/> <br/> We've gone from software and operating systems that we manage running on hardware that we own (and babysit), to virtual machines on our hardware, to IaaS in the cloud and PaaS in the cloud. Then onward to containers, usually docker, running on someone else's systems in the cloud, and maybe even microservices which are conglomerates of these containers working together managed by Kubernetes. <br/> <br/> Where do we go from there? I can't tell you the final destination, but I believe we've reached a leaf node in this hierarchy with our topic today. <br/> <br/> On this, episode 118 of Talk Python To Me, with Ryan Scott Brown, we are going to explore serverless computing.

One of the nice things about the Python language is it's at least 3 programming paradigms in one: There's the procedural style, object-oriented style, and functional style. <br/> <br/> This week you'll meet Evan Hubinger who is taking Python's functional programming style and turning it to 11. We're talking about Coconut. A full functional programming language that is a proper superset of Python itself. <br/> <br/> Show note: Sorry for the lower audio quality in my voice on this one.

When you think of popular Python packages, what comes to mind? There's a good chance that this week's guest, Kenneth Reitz, wrote that package you just thought of. He's the author of so of Python's most popular libraries, including Requests, Records, Maya, and pipenv just to name a few. <br/> <br/> I got a chance to catch up with Kenneth at PyCon 2017 this year.

As most of you know, learning to program opens doors. It takes every day people and turns them into creators. Once you know programming, and Python, you've passed through a door to a place with much more opportunity. <br/> <br/> Now, consider the impact this could have if you grew up in an environment with less opportunity? With fewer people, you knew leading the way into software careers. <br/> <br/> Today you'll meet Sean Valentine and Landon Miller helping to run an amazing project and Mohammed Abdulla and Malik Poole who graduated from this project. It's called The Hidden Genius Project and it helps young black men become developers and entrepreneurs.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Hidden Genius Project</b>: <a href="http://www.hiddengeniusproject.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hiddengeniusproject.org</a><br/> <b>Hidden Genius Project on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/hiddengeniuspro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@hiddengeniuspro</a><br/> <b>Hidden Genius Project on Facebook</b>: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheHiddenGeniusProject/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">facebook.com/TheHiddenGeniusProject</a><br/> <br/> <b>Sponsored Links</b><br/> <b>Intel Distribution for Python</b>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/intel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm/intel</a><br/> <b>Hired</b>: <a href="https://hired.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=talkpythontome&utm_term=cat-tech-software&utm_content=2k&utm_campaign=q1-16-episodesbanner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hired.com/talkpythontome</a><br/> <b>Talk Python Courses</b>: <a href="https://training.talkpython.fm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">training.talkpython.fm</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/intel'>Intel</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Where do you run your Python code? No, not Python 3, Python 2, PyPy or the other implementations. I'm thinking waaaaay lower than that. This week we are talking about the actual chips that execute our code. <br/> <br/> We catch up with David Stewart and meet Suresh Srinivas, and Sergey Maidanov from Intel.

Database design and decisions use to be fairly straightforward. Pick your relational database engine, map out the general entities, apply the third-normal-form (3NF) to them and you're basically done. <br/> <br/> With the Cambrian explosion of database options and variations created from 2009 to present, it gets much harder to even choose the database much less follow the well-worn path of 3NF. <br/> <br/> On this episode, you'll meet Rick Copeland, a fellow MongoDB Master and author of the book MongoDB Applied Design Patterns.

There are many reasons it's a great time to be a developer. One of them is because there are so many choices around data access and databases. So this week we take tour with our guest Jim Fulton of some databases you may not have heard of or given a try. <br/> <br/> You'll hear about the pure Python database ZODB. There's Zero DB, an end-to-end encrypted database in which the database server knows nothing about the data it is storing, and NewtDb spanning the world of ZODB and JSON friendly Postgres. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Jim on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/j1mfulton' target='_blank'>@j1mfulton</a> <br/> <b>ZODB</b>: <a href='http://www.zodb.org/en/latest/' target='_blank'>zodb.org</a> <br/> <b>ZODB Book</b>: <a href='https://zodb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/' target='_blank'>zodb.readthedocs.io</a> <br/> <b>ZeroDB</b>: <a href='https://opensource.zerodb.com/' target='_blank'>opensource.zerodb.com</a> <br/> <b>NewtDb</b>: <a href='http://www.newtdb.org/en/latest/' target='_blank'>newtdb.org</a> <br/> <b>Buildout</b>: <a href='http://docs.buildout.org/en/latest/' target='_blank'>docs.buildout.org</a> <br/> <b>Two-tiered Kanban</b>: <a href='https://github.com/feature-flow/twotieredkanban' target='_blank'>github.com/feature-flow/twotieredkanban</a> <br/> <b>Jim's Webcast: Why Postgres Should be your Document Database</b>: <a href='https://blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2017/03/why-postgres-should-be-your-document-database-webinar-recording/' target='_blank'>blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2017/03/why-postgres-should-be-your-document-database-webinar-recording</a> <br/> <br/> <strong>Sponsored items</strong> <br/> <b>GetStream Feed API</b>: <a href='https://getstream.io/try-the-api/?utm_source=talkpython&utm_campaign=talkpython105&utm_medium=talkpython' target='_blank'>talkpython.fm/getstream</a> <br/> <b>Our courses</b>: <a href='https://training.talkpython.fm/' target='_blank'>training.talkpython.fm</a> <br/> <b>Podcast's Patreon</b>: <a href='https://www.patreon.com/mkennedy' target='_blank'>patreon.com/mkennedy</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

This episode we have an optimization 2fer. <br/> <br/> We begin looking at optimizing a subset of Python code for machine learning using the LLVM compiler with a project called PyLLVM which takes plain python code, compiles it to optimized machine instructions and distributes it across a cluster. <br/> <br/> In the second half, we look at a fabulous new way to work with MongoDB for Python writing data scientists. The project is called bson-numpy and provides a direct connection between MongoDB and NumPy and is 10x faster than standard pymongo. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Anna on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/annaisworking' target='_blank'>@annaisworking</a> <br/> <br/> <b>PyLLVM</b>: <a href='https://github.com/aherlihy/PythonLLVM' target='_blank'>github.com/aherlihy/PythonLLVM</a> <br/> <b>Wrestling Python into LLVM Intermediate Representation</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knL-c9WIru8' target='_blank'>youtube.com/watch?v=knL-c9WIru8</a> <br/> <br/> <b>BSON-NumPy Docs</b>: <a href='https://readthedocs.org/projects/bson-numpy/' target='_blank'>readthedocs.org/projects/bson-numpy</a> <br/> <b>BSON-NumPy Package</b>: <a href='https://pypi.org/project/BSON-NumPy/' target='_blank'>pypi.org/project/BSON-NumPy</a> <br/> <b>BSON-NumPy on GitHub</b>: <a href='https://github.com/aherlihy/bson-numpy' target='_blank'>github.com/aherlihy/bson-numpy</a> <br/> <br/> <strong>Sponsored items</strong> <br/> <b>Our courses</b>: <a href='https://training.talkpython.fm/' target='_blank'>training.talkpython.fm</a> <br/> <b>Hired</b>: <a href='https://hired.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=talkpythontome&utm_term=cat-tech-software&utm_content=2k&utm_campaign=q1-16-episodesbanner' target='_blank'>hired.com/talkpythontome</a> <br/> <b>Podcast's Patreon</b>: <a href='https://www.patreon.com/mkennedy' target='_blank'>patreon.com/mkennedy</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Welcome to a very special episode. This is the 100th episode of Talk Python To Me. It's the perfect chance to take a moment and look at where we have come from, and where we are going. Not just with regard to the podcast but for Python in general. <br/> <br/> And who better to do this than Python's inventor himself. Guido van Rossum. In this episode, we discuss how Guido go into programming, where Python came from and why, and Python's bright future with Python 3. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Guido on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/gvanrossum' target='_blank'>@gvanrossum</a> <br/> <b>What's New In Python 3.6</b>: <a href='https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html' target='_blank'>docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html</a> <br/> <b>mypy</b>: <a href='http://mypy-lang.org/' target='_blank'>mypy-lang.org</a> <br/> <br/> <strong>Sponsored items</strong> <br/> <b>Rollbar</b>: <a href='https://rollbar.com/talkpythontome' target='_blank'>rollbar.com/talkpythontome</a> <br/> <b>Hired</b>: <a href='https://hired.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=talkpythontome&utm_term=cat-tech-software&utm_content=2k&utm_campaign=q1-16-episodesbanner' target='_blank'>hired.com/talkpythontome</a> <br/> <b>Our courses</b>: <a href='https://training.talkpython.fm/' target='_blank'>training.talkpython.fm</a> <br/> <b>Podcast's Patreon</b>: <a href='https://www.patreon.com/mkennedy' target='_blank'>patreon.com/mkennedy</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

One of the areas where Python truly shines is on the web. Many well known websites like YouTube, Pintrest, and Spotify are powered by Python. In the mid 2000's, a number of powerful and popular frameworks were created such as Django, Flask, and Pyramid. <br/> <br/> It may feel like the choices of web frameworks and innovation in that space if baked and done. But we are actually seeing an explosion of new frameworks for new web paradigms. <br/> <br/> In this episode, you'll meet Martijn Faassen who created Morepath. A relatively new web framework built to be a first class citizen of this JavaScript, client-side web paradigm popular in many web apps today. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Maritijn on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/faassen' target='_blank'>@faassen</a> <br/> <b>Morepath and its foundations</b>: <a href='http://morepath.readthedocs.io' target='_blank'>morepath.readthedocs.io</a> <br/> <b>reg</b>: <a href='http://reg.readthedocs.io' target='_blank'>reg.readthedocs.io</a> <br/> <b>dectate</b>: <a href='http://dectate.readthedocs.io' target='_blank'>dectate.readthedocs.io</a> <br/> <br/> <strong>Static resource publishing</strong> <br/> <b>fanstatic</b>: <a href='http://fanstatic.org' target='_blank'>fanstatic.org</a> <br/> <b>bowerstatic</b>: <a href='http://bowerstatic.readthedocs.io/' target='_blank'>bowerstatic.readthedocs.io</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Lxml</b>: <a href='http://lxml.de/' target='_blank'>lxml.de</a> <br/> <b>Numpy</b>: <a href='http://www.numpy.org/' target='_blank'>numpy.org</a> <br/> <b>pandas</b>: <a href='http://pandas.pydata.org/' target='_blank'>pandas.pydata.org</a> <br/> <b>Click</b>: <a href='http://click.pocoo.org' target='_blank'>click.pocoo.org</a> <br/> <b>Pyglet (opengl binding)</b>: <a href='https://pyglet.readthedocs.io/' target='_blank'>pyglet.readthedocs.io</a> <br/> <br/> <strong>Sponsored links</strong> <br/> <b>Metis</b>: <a href='http://thisismetis.com/talkpython' target='_blank'>thisismetis.com/talkpython</a> <br/> <b>Hired</b>: <a href='https://hired.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=talkpythontome&utm_term=cat-tech-software&utm_content=2k&utm_campaign=q1-16-episodesbanner' target='_blank'>hired.com/talkpythontome</a> <br/> <b>Talk Python Courses</b>: <a href='https://training.talkpython.fm/' target='_blank'>training.talkpython.fm</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/metis'>Metis</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

One of the major areas of innovation in Python 3 is advances in async and concurrent programming. Yet, when working with any of the major web frameworks: django, flask, or pyramid, this is basically no concurrent option. That's why Andrew Godwin decided to tackle the issue on the django side with django channels. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Docs</b>: <a href='http://channels.readthedocs.io' target='_blank'>channels.readthedocs.io</a> <br/> <b>Source</b>: <a href='https://github.com/django/channels' target='_blank'>github.com/django/channels</a> <br/> <b>Andrew on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/andrewgodwin' target='_blank'>@andrewgodwin</a> <br/> <br/> <strong>Sponsored offers</strong> <br/> <b>Metis Data Science Courses</b>: <a href='http://thisismetis.com/talkpython' target='_blank'>thisismetis.com/talkpython</a> <br/> <b>Hired</b>: <a href='https://hired.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=talkpythontome&utm_term=cat-tech-software&utm_content=2k&utm_campaign=q3-16-banner' target='_blank'>hired.com</a> <br/> <b>Talk Python Courses</b>: <a href='https://training.talkpython.fm/' target='_blank'>training.talkpython.fm</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/metis'>Metis</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

There's a whole spectrum of Python web frameworks. On one end we have the micro-frameworks like bottle, flask, and do some degree Pyramid. On the other things like Django and even CMSes like Wagtail (built on Django) in the far end. <br/> <br/> While this is often positioned as an either / or choice, this week you'll meet Ian Dennis Miller, the creator of Flask-Diamond. An extension to Flask which brings many of the good things from Django to Flask's simple and small API. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Flask-Diamond</b>: <a href='http://flask-diamond.org' target='_blank'>flask-diamond.org</a> <br/> <b>People API</b>: <a href='http://pplapi.com' target='_blank'>pplapi.com</a> <br/> <b>GitHub Impact</b>: <a href='http://gh-impact.com' target='_blank'>gh-impact.com</a> <br/> <b>GThnk</b>: <a href='http://gthnk.com' target='_blank'>gthnk.com</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Rollbar's Talk Python Offer</b>: <a href='https://rollbar.com/talkpythontome' target='_blank'>rollbar.com/talkpythontome</a> <br/> <b>Hired's Talk Python Offer</b>: <a href='http://hired.com/talkpythontome' target='_blank'>hired.com/talkpythontome</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Python is said to be a language that comes with "batteries included". That has many meanings depending on the level you're focusing on. At the lowest, it's a very rich and expressive language. Most commonly it means Python has a powerful and comprehensive standard library (itertools and elementtree anyone?). <br/> <br/> But more holistically, most of the batteries are external, interchangeable ones, from PyPI. Right now, http://pypi.io has 97,326 packages listed on it. That's fantastic. However, it does lead to a discoverability problem. What options do I have for admin backends on web apps, cryptography, raw socket programming, and so on? <br/> <br/> This week, Matt Makai is back with me (remember him from episode 26 last year?).

He just launched Grumpy: A Python implementation based on Go, the highly concurrent language from Google. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Grumpy home page (redirects)</b>: <a href='http://grump.io' target='_blank'>grump.io</a> <br/> <b>Grumpy at github</b>: <a href='https://github.com/google/grumpy' target='_blank'>github.com/google/grumpy</a> <br/> <b>Announcement post</b>: <a href='https://opensource.googleblog.com/2017/01/grumpy-go-running-python.html' target='_blank'>opensource.googleblog.com/2017/01/grumpy-go-running-python.html</a> <br/> <b>Dylan on Github</b>: <a href='https://github.com/trotterdylan' target='_blank'>github.com/trotterdylan</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Deep Learning Kickstarter</b>: <a href='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adrianrosebrock/1866482244' target='_blank'>kickstarter.com/projects/adrianrosebrock/1866482244</a> <br/> <b>Hired's Talk Python Offer</b>: <a href='http://hired.com/talkpythontome' target='_blank'>hired.com/talkpythontome</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/pyimagesearch'>PyImageSearch</a>

Have you ever had trouble installing a package you wanted to use in your Python app? Likely it contained some odd dependency, required a compilation step, maybe even using an uncommon compiler like Fortran. Did you try it on Windows? How many times have you seen "Cannot find vcvarsall.bat" before you had to take a walk? <br/> <br/> If this sounds familiar, you might want to check conda the package manager, Anaconda, the distribution, conda forge, and conda build. They dramatically lower the bar for installing packages on all the platforms. <br/> <br/> This week you'll meet Phil Elson, Kale Franz, and Michael Sarahan who all work on various parts of this ecosystem. <br/> <br/> <em><strong>Note</strong>: The fact that Continuum, the company behind conda is sponsoring this episode and the topic is about conda is a pure coincidence. This show was recorded long before Continuum came on as a sponsor and they only have a week or two to get the word out about their conference in February. <br/> <br/> I just want to be clear that I featured conda on the show because I believe it's a really cool project.

You often hear that we need to teach computer science as a foundational skill. Why? Well I'm not sure many of the leaders pushing this forward have great answers other than jobs! <br/> <br/> But it is fundamentally important that we do teach programming as a core skill. The reason is whatever you specialty, be that biology, psychology, or geosurveys, basic programming will supercharge that skill. <br/> <br/> That's why I'm excited to introduce you to Software Carpentry and Jonah Duckles.

This special episode is hosted by Jonathon Morgan. <br/> <br/> He went to the White House (the White House!) to interview DJ Patil, the Chief Data Scientist of the United States. DJ talked with Jonathon about the relationship between government and Silicon Valley, the White House’s leadership on data ethics, and why the first US Chief Data Scientist was actually George Washington. This was a really special experience, and we were honored at the invitation.

Django is a very popular Python web framework. One reason is you have many building blocks to drop in for large sections of your application. Need a full-on admin table editor backend? That's a few lines of code and boom you have a basic table editor. <br/> <br/> This applies to many people. But those of us, myself included, who appreciate lightweight frameworks where we choose just what is included and piece together our web apps from best-of-breed components find this a turn off. <br/> <br/> This week you'll meet Julia Elman and Mark Lavin, authors of Lightweight Django who are here to dispel the myth that Django apps have to be built out of large building blocks. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Lightweight Django by Julia Elman and Mark Lavin</b>: <br/> <a href='http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032502.do' target='_blank'>shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032502.do</a> <br/> <b>Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/juliaelman' target='_blank'>@juliaelman</a> <br/> <b>Julia Elman web</b>: <a href='http://juliaelman.com' target='_blank'>juliaelman.com</a> <br/> <b>Mark Lavin web</b>: <a href='http://mlavin.org/' target='_blank'>mlavin.org</a> <br/> <b>Mark's Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/DrOhYes' target='_blank'>@DrOhYes</a> <br/> <b>Lightweight Django code examples </b>: <a href='https://github.com/lightweightdjango' target='_blank'>github.com/lightweightdjango</a> <br/> <b>Intermediate Django: Building Modern, Scalable, and Maintainable Web Applications by Mark Lavin</b>: <br/> <a href='http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920040903.do' target='_blank'>shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920040903.do</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Sponsors</b> <br/> <b>GoCD</b>: <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd' target='_blank'>go.cd</a> <br/> <b>pyup.io</b>: <a href='https://pyup.io/?utm_source=talkpython&utm_medium=podcast' target='_blank'>pyup.io</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/pyup'>pyup</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

If you run into a problem with some API or Python code what do you do to solve it?

When was the last time you used a 3rd party package in Python? Have you recently pip installed SQLAlchemy? Maybe looked up the documentation on a package you found on PyPI? <br/> <br/> The two core pieces of infrastructure involved are both freely available and open source: pip and PyPI as well as ReadTheDocs. <br/> <br/> How are these funded? How well are they funded? It turns out that we are not doing a good job sustaining the underlying infrastructure in the Python ecosystem. <br/> <br/> This week you'll meet four panelists for a discussion on the problem and its solutions. <br/> <br/> Donald Stufft from PyPI and pip. <br/> Eric Holscher, Cofounder of read the docs. <br/> Carol Willing, Director of the Python Software Foundation, Project Jupyter core developer. <br/> Ewa Jodlowska, Director of Operations for the Python Software Foundation. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Roads and Bridges: The Unseen Labor Behind Our Digital Infrastructure</b>: <br/> <a href='http://www.fordfoundation.org/library/reports-and-studies/roads-and-bridges-the-unseen-labor-behind-our-digital-infrastructure' target='_blank'>fordfoundation.org/library/reports-and-studies...</a> <br/> <b>Donald Stufft</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/dstufft' target='_blank'>@dstufft</a> <br/> <b>Eric Holscher</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/ericholscher' target='_blank'>@ericholscher</a> <br/> <b>Carol Willing</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/WillingCarol' target='_blank'>@WillingCarol</a> <br/> <b>Ewa Jodlowska</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/ewa_jodlowska' target='_blank'>@ewa_jodlowska</a> <br/> <b>Talk Python #64: Inside the Python Package Index</b>: <a href='/episodes/show/64' target='_blank'>talkpython.fm/episodes/show/64</a> <br/> <b>Hire Me (Donald Stufft, post HPE)</b>: <a href='https://caremad.io/posts/2016/10/hire-me/' target='_blank'>caremad.io/posts/2016/10/hire-me</a> <br/> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

The advances in Astronomy over the past century are both evidence of and confirmation of the highest heights of human ingenuity. We have learned by studying the frequency of light that the universe is expanding. By observing the orbit of Mercury that Einstein's theory of general relativity is correct. <br/> <br/> It probably won't surprise you to learn that Python and data science play a central role in modern day Astronomy. This week you'll meet Jake VanderPlas, an astrophysicist and data scientist from University of Washington.

NoSQL and document dbs like MongoDB have made building fast scalable software that is easy to evolve and maintain much easier for a broad class of applications. Embeddable, file-based databases like SQLite have made "shipping" an application requiring a database a no brainer. The database just runs in process so there is no setup or maintenance. <br/> <br/> Yet, when you try to intersect these two excellent capabilities, you'll find the options very limited. There just aren't many embeddable document databases. If you're a Python developer, and you want a native Python solution, the options are much slimmer still. <br/> <br/> That's why I'm excited to introduce you to Markus Siemens and TinyDb. This is a 100% pure python, embeddable, pip-installable document DB for Python. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Markus on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/siem3m' target='_blank'>@siem3m</a> <br/> <b>Markus on the Web</b>: <a href='https://m-siemens.de' target='_blank'>m-siemens.de</a> <br/> <b>TinyDb (github)</b>: <a href='http://github.com/msiemens/tinydb' target='_blank'>github.com/msiemens/tinydb</a> <br/> <b>TinyDb (docs)</b>: <a href='http://tinydb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html' target='_blank'>tinydb.readthedocs.io</a> <br/> <b>TinyDb (PyPI)</b>: <a href='https://pypi.org/project/tinydb/' target='_blank'>pypi.org/project/tinydb</a> <br/> <b>CodernityDB</b>: <a href='http://labs.codernity.com/codernitydb/' target='_blank'>labs.codernity.com/codernitydb</a> <br/> <b>Buzhug</b>: <a href='http://buzhug.sourceforge.net/' target='_blank'>buzhug.sourceforge.net</a> <br/> <b>Ultra JSON package</b>: <a href='https://pypi.org/project/ujson/' target='_blank'>pypi.org/project/ujson</a> <br/> <b> How to Extend TinyDB</b>: <a href='http://tinydb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extend.html' target='_blank'>tinydb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extend.html</a> <br/> <b>Extensions</b>: <a href='http://tinydb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extensions.html' target='_blank'>tinydb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extensions.html</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Could you write me a Python app for the wide range of platforms out there? Oh, wait, I want them to be native GUI applications. And I need them on mobile (Android, iOS, tvOS, and watchOS) as well as major desktop apps. I also need them to appear indistinguishable from native apps (be a .app on macOS, .exe on Windows, etc). <br/> <br/> What technology would you use for this? This week I'll introduce you to a wide set of small, focused and powerful tools that make all of this, and more, possible.

What kind of applications can you build with python? You hear me featuring many people on this show that build websites, web services, or some data science driven application. Of course, all of those are wonderful but I know many of you have dreamed of building a game. <br/> <br/> This episode I'm interviewing Joseph Cherlin. He created the game Epikos and the entire tool chain entirely in Python. He has a great story about how he came across Python, why he decided to use it in his game, and advice he has for anyone out there taking on a large project like this. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Joseph on twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/JJC_Coder' target='_blank'>@JJC_Coder</a> <br/> <b>Epikos website</b>: <a href='http://www.epikosrpg.com' target='_blank'>epikosrpg.com</a> <br/> <b>Screenshots</b>: <a href='http://www.epikosrpg.com/screenshots/' target='_blank'>epikosrpg.com/screenshots</a> <br/> <b>Famous Reddit post</b>: <br/> <a href='https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/4hazs4/how_i_built_an_entire_game_and_toolchain_100_in/?st=ithiamy1&sh=eed4703d' target='_blank'>reddit.com/r/Python/comments/4hazs4/how_i_built_an_entire_game_and_toolchain_100_in</a> <br/> <b>PyGame</b>: <a href=' http://www.pygame.org/hifi.html' target='_blank'>pygame.org</a> <br/> <b>Indie Overlook review</b>: <a href='http://indieoverlook.com/2016/04/15/epikos/' target='_blank'>indieoverlook.com/2016/04/15/epikos</a> <br/> <b>Indie Game: The Movie</b>: <a href='http://buy.indiegamethemovie.com/ ' target='_blank'>indiegamethemovie.com</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

Even with solar panels on your roof, it’s possible that your home is still being powered by fossil fuels. Climate innovator and Python developer Anna Schneider is trying to change that. At her company WattTime, consumers can source the cleanest energy available on the grid. <br/> <br/> In this episode of Talk Python To Me, I talk to Anna about how Python powers WattTime, some popular open-source projects focused on renewable energy, and a few other Python based renewable energy startups. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Anna on twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/windupanna' target='_blank'>@windupanna</a> <br/> <b>WattTime on twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/wattTime' target='_blank'>@wattTime</a> <br/> <b>WattTime web</b>: <a href='http://watttime.org' target='_blank'>watttime.org</a> <br/> <b>What can a technologist do about climate change</b>: <br/> <a href='http://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/' target='_blank'>worrydream.com/ClimateChange</a> <br/> <b>DjangoCon US 2016 - Django for IOT: From Hackathon to Production</b>: <br/> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv9xKEN4rXg' target='_blank'>youtube.com/watch?v=yv9xKEN4rXg</a> <br/> <b>OSS projects at WattTime</b>: <a href='https://github.com/WattTime' target='_blank'>github.com/WattTime</a> <br/> <b>pyiso project</b>: <a href='https://github.com/WattTime/pyiso' target='_blank'>github.com/WattTime/pyiso</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Python-based startups</b>: <br/> <a href='https://utilityapi.com/' target='_blank'>utilityapi.com</a> <br/> <a href='http://www.sighten.io/' target='_blank'>sighten.io</a> <br/> <a href='http://www.folsomlabs.com/' target='_blank'>folsomlabs.com</a> <br/> <a href='https://www.energysage.com' target='_blank'>energysage.com</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Problem: duck curve</b>: <br/> <a href='http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/californias-duck-curve-will-encourage-innovation' target='_blank'>greentechmedia.com/articles/read/californias-duck-curve-will-encourage-innovation</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Other open source projects</b>: <br/> <a href='https://github.com/cigroup-ol/windml' target='_blank'>github.com/cigroup-ol/windml</a> <br/> <a href='https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python' target='_blank'>github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Real-time power production data sets for many European countries</b>: <br/> <a href='https://jaspervis.wordpress.com/2014/03/09/real-time-data-how-much-renewable-power-is-produced-today-in-germany-denmark-belgium-the-uk-france/' target='_blank'>jaspervis.wordpress.com</a> <br/> <b>Python implementation of OpenADR standard for automated demand response</b>: <br/> <a href='https://github.com/EnerNOC/oadr2-ven-python' target='_blank'>github.com/EnerNOC/oadr2-ven-python</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Energy-focused startup incubators/accelerators</b>: <br/> <a href='https://powerhouse.solar/' target='_blank'>Powerhouse in Oakland</a> <br/> <a href='http://ufl.nyc/programs/acre' target='_blank'>ACRE in NYC</a> <br/> <a href='http://greentownlabs.com/' target='_blank'>Greentown Labs in Boston</a> <br/> <a href='http://www.energyfoundry.com/' target='_blank'>Energy Foundry in Chicago</a> <br/> <a href='http://www.1776.vc/ ' target='_blank'>1776 in DC</a> <br/> <br/> <b>PyPI package retrying</b>: <a href='https://pypi.org/project/retrying/ ' target='_blank'>pypi.org/project/retrying</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Nonprofit solar companies both are hiring CTOs</b>: <br/> <a href='https://re-volv.org/about-us/jobs/' target='_blank'>re-volv.org/about-us/jobs</a> <br/> <a href='http://solstice.us/career' target='_blank'>solstice.us/career</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Portland 100% renewable energy program</b>: <br/> <a href='https://www.portlandgeneral.com/residential/power-choices/renewable-power/choose-renewable' target='_blank'>portlandgeneral.com/residential/power-choices/renewable-power/choose-renewable</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

Do you like to play games or solve puzzles? Chances are pretty good that you do. After all, what is programming and software development but one really elaborate puzzle? <br/> <br/> On this episode of Talk Python To Me, you meet someone who pushed this idea of programming as a game to its logical conclusion. Alexander Liabakh is the creator of CheckIO and Empire of Code. CheckIO is a programming adventure game where you solve puzzles and share them with fellow players.

Have you heard of IronPython and Jython? These two alternate implementations of Python were created by Jim hugunin. They run on top of the .NET and JVM runtimes. On this episode going to look at the story of IronPython. It's been around for many years. Although the last few years, it's been somewhat stagnant. <br/> <br/> That's why I am thrilled to introduce you to Alex Earl, who along with Benedikt Eggers, has become the maintainer of the IronPython project. It's great to see IronPython getting the attention it deserves.

Writing good, clean code and having a deep working knowledge of Python is critical to your success as a Python developer. But if you look at those who have truly excelled in their career, it's often because they bring something in addition to coding skills. <br/> <br/> We all want to be the most successful and satisfied version of ourselves. But that's much easier said than done. <br/> <br/> That's why I'm excited to introduce you to John Sonmez. He's had a brilliantly successful career as a developer and he wrote a book to help all of us do the same. It's called Soft Skills: The software developer's life manual and it's packed full of concrete, practical steps you can take to stand out in the tech industry. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Simple Programmer</b>: <a href='https://simpleprogrammer.com/' target='_blank'>simpleprogrammer.com</a> <br/> <b>John on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/jsonmez' target='_blank'>@jsonmez</a> <br/> <b>Soft Skills Book</b>: <a href='https://www.manning.com/books/soft-skills' target='_blank'>manning.com/books/soft-skills</a> <br/> <b>John's Pluralsight courses</b>: <a href='https://www.pluralsight.com/search?q=sonmez&categories=course' target='_blank'>pluralsight.com/search?q=sonmez</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

Some of the best songs are cover songs of popular music. If you're a musician who wants to create a cover song and actually sell it, you'll be diving deep into complex agreements and legal agreements with record labels. Sounds like no fun to me. <br/> <br/> But this is where Python comes to the rescue! The guys and girls over at Loudr are using Python to create a service for creating, selling, and distributing cover songs. This week you'll meet one of the co-founders, Josh Whelchel.

Do you have a blog? How many articles have you written for it? Do you find it hard to keep writing or hard to get started doing technical writing? We might be able to help you out with that this week. <br/> <br/> You're probably aware that blogging is one of the key ways to establish yourself as a thought-leader in the industry. You'll make more connections, open more opportunities, and likely find your work more rewarding if you share your experiences and expertise through blogging. <br/> <br/> But it can be challenging to keep writing or find time for writing. That's why I asked A. Jesse Jiryu Davis from MongoDB to share his thoughts on writing an excellent programming blog. <br/> <br/> You'll even learn about Jesse's 5 "design patterns" for blogging to help break writer's block. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>PyCon Talk by Jesse</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHXq-IzlGUE' target='_blank'>youtube.com/watch?v=eHXq-IzlGUE</a> <br/> <b>Excellent blog article</b>: <a href='http://bit.ly/excellent-blog' target='_blank'>bit.ly/excellent-blog</a> <br/> <b>Unyielding by Glyph</b>: <a href='https://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2014/02/unyielding.html' target='_blank'>glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2014/02/unyielding.html</a> <br/> <b>Assigning to a threadlocal is not thread-safe</b>: <a href='https://emptysqua.re/blog/another-thing-about-pythons-threadlocals/' target='_blank'>emptysqua.re/blog/another-thing-about-pythons-threadlocals</a> <br/> <b>Growing Open Source Seeds</b>: <a href='http://www.kennethreitz.org/essays/growing-open-source-seeds' target='_blank'>kennethreitz.org/essays/growing-open-source-seeds</a> <br/> <b>Why does this Python code raise a SyntaxWarning?</b>: <a href='http://akaptur.github.io/blog/2014/06/11/of-syntax-warnings-and-symbol-tables/' target='_blank'>akaptur.github.io/blog/2014/06/11/of-syntax-warnings-and-symbol-tables</a> <br/> <b>Review of O'Reilly's Building Node Applications with MongoDB and Backbone</b>: <a href='https://emptysqua.re/blog/building-node-applications-mongodb-backbone/' target='_blank'>emptysqua.re/blog/building-node-applications-mongodb-backbone</a> <br/> <b>Planet Python</b>: <a href='http://planet.python.org/' target='_blank'>planet.python.org</a> <br/> <b>Coding with Knives blog</b>: <a href='https://codingwithkniv.es/' target='_blank'>codingwithkniv.es</a> <br/> <b>500 Lines or Less Chapter</b>: <a href='https://github.com/aosabook/500lines/blob/master/crawler/crawler.markdown' target='_blank'>https://github.com/aosabook/500lines</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Python for Entrepreneurs Kickstarter</b>: <a href='https://talkpython.fm/launch' target='_blank'>talkpython.fm/launch</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/intel'>Intel</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Have you listened to the other major Python podcast hosted by Tobias Macey and Chris Patti? It's called podcast.__init__ and, like this show, they have some excellent stories from the Python ecosystem on there weekly. So recently some listeners from both shows suggested the unimaginable: That we 'cross the streams'... <br/> <br/> We, despite Egon's warning, are going to do it anyway. Recall in the movie ghost busters they defeat Gozer by doing just that. <br/> <br/> This time when we cross the streams the result is less dramatic, but something awesome comes out the other side too!

Let's talk about your unit testing strategy. How do you select the tests you write or do you even write tests? Typically, when you write a test you have to think of what you are testing and the exact set of inputs and outcomes you're looking for. And there are strategies for this. Try to hit the boundary conditions, the most common use-cases, seek out error handling and so on. <br/> <br/> We all do this to varying degrees of success. But we if we didn't have to do this. What if there was some kind of way to express the relationship between inputs and outputs but your tests could explore the problem space themselves? <br/> <br/> Well, there is a way and it's called property-based testing. This week you'll learn about Hypothesis, the most popular property based testing system created by David MacIver. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Hypothesis framework</b>: <a href='http://hypothesis.works/' target='_blank'>hypothesis.works</a> <br/> <b>Hypothesis on github</b>: <a href='https://github.com/HypothesisWorks/hypothesis-python' target='_blank'>github.com/HypothesisWorks/hypothesis-python</a> <br/> <b>Matt Bachmann - Better Testing With Less Code at PyCon</b>: <br/> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvwfDdgg93E' target='_blank'>youtube.com/watch?v=jvwfDdgg93E</a> <br/> <b>David on the web</b>: <a href='http://www.drmaciver.com/' target='_blank'>drmaciver.com</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

Python is a wonderful programming language that is often underestimated because it's so clear and simple. Oftentimes people mistake this simplicity for being too simple for real-programs. After all, you didn't even struggle to get your program to link against an incompatible static library or battle a DLL version mismatch in your Python app today did you? <br/> <br/> Usually we find this simple and clear programming language to be powerful and fast. But what happens when it's not fast enough? Do you have to stop and rewrite it in C, C#, or Java? <br/> <br/> Well before you do something drastic, Mike Mueller is here to teach us the techniques and steps to determine why our Python programs might be slow and give us some tips to make them faster. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>PyCon Talk by Mike</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDSGVvMwNM8' target='_blank'>youtube.com/watch?v=JDSGVvMwNM8</a> <br/> <b>SnakeViz Project</b>: <a href='http://jiffyclub.github.io/snakeviz/' target='_blank'>jiffyclub.github.io/snakeviz</a> <br/> <b>line_profiler</b>: <a href='https://pypi.io/project/line_profiler/' target='_blank'>pypi.io/project/line_profiler</a> <br/> <b>Pympler mem profiler</b>: <a href='https://pypi.io/project/Pympler/' target='_blank'>pypi.io/project/Pympler</a> <br/> <b>memory_profiler</b>: <a href='https://pypi.io/project/memory_profiler' target='_blank'>pypi.io/project/memory_profiler</a> <br/> <b>Python Academy (Mike's company)</b>: <a href='http://www.python-academy.com' target='_blank'>python-academy.com</a> <br/> <b>xonsh</b>: <a href='http://xonsh.org/' target='_blank'>xonsh.org</a> <br/> <b>Article: Amazon found every 100ms of latency cost them 1% in sales</b>: <br/> <a href='http://highscalability.com/latency-everywhere-and-it-costs-you-sales-how-crush-it' target='_blank'>highscalability.com/latency-everywhere-and-it-costs-you-sales-how-crush-it</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Stitcher and Talk Python Podcast: A Farewell Letter</b>: <br/> <a href='https://blog.michaelckennedy.net/2016/07/05/stitcher-and-talk-python-to-me-podcast-a-farewell-letter/' target='_blank'>blog.michaelckennedy.net</a> <br/> <b>The Course Everyone New to Python Desperately Needs to Take</b>: <br/> <a href='http://www.datadependence.com/2016/07/write-pythonic-code-like-a-seasoned-developer/' target='_blank'>datadependence.com/2016/07/write-pythonic-code-like-a-seasoned-developer</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Long gone are the days of the web acting as just linked documents and glorified brochures. Web apps of today are just that, rich interactive applications. But unlike desktop apps of old, these are apps with 100,000's or even millions of concurrent users. <br/> <br/> We expect that these apps will instantly reflect changes to the data, potentially made by any of the users connected to the system while we are using them. <br/> <br/> This has put a strain on the web servers, databases, and architecture of our web apps. Technology has responded by delivering amazing real-time capabilities with things like websockets and SignalR at the client layer and event driven systems on the web servers. But what about the database? Could it be events all the way down? <br/> <br/> That was the goal of RethinkDB's cofounders when they pitched it to YCombinator. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>RethinkDB</b>: <a href='https://rethinkdb.com/' target='_blank'>rethinkdb.com</a> <br/> <b>RethinkDB on github</b>: <a href='https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb' target='_blank'>github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb</a> <br/> <b>Rethink on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/rethinkdb' target='_blank'>@rethinkdb</a> <br/> <b>Slava on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/spakhm' target='_blank'>@spakhm</a> <br/> <b>horizonjs on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/horizonjs' target='_blank'>@horizonjs</a> <br/> <b>Quickstart</b>: <a href='https://rethinkdb.com/docs/quickstart/ ' target='_blank'>rethinkdb.com/docs/quickstart</a> <br/> <b>Horizon.js</b>: <a href='http://horizon.io/' target='_blank'>horizon.io</a> <br/> <b>Horizon cloud</b>: <a href='http://horizon.io/cloud/' target='_blank'>horizon.io/cloud</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

What is the most powerful part of the Python ecosystem? Well, the ability to say "pip install magic_library" has to be right near the top. But do you what powers the Python Package Index and the people behind it? Did you know it does over 300 TB traffic each month these days? <br/> <br/> Just me as we chat with Donald Stufft to look inside Python's package infrastructure. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Donald on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/dstufft' target='_blank'>@dstufft</a> <br/> <b>Donald on the web</b>: <a href='https://caremad.io' target='_blank'>caremad.io</a> <br/> <b>Powering the Python Package Index</b>: <br/> <a href='https://caremad.io/2016/05/powering-pypi/' target='_blank'>caremad.io/2016/05/powering-pypi/</a> <br/> <b>A Year of PyPI Downloads</b>: <br/> <a href='https://caremad.io/2015/04/a-year-of-pypi-downloads/' target='_blank'>caremad.io/2015/04/a-year-of-pypi-downloads</a> <br/> <b>Donate to PPA</b>: <a href='http://donate.pypi.io/' target='_blank'>donate.pypi.io</a> <br/> <b>PyPI (Legacy)</b>: <a href='https://pypi.python.org/pypi' target='_blank'>pypi.python.org/pypi</a> <br/> <b>Warehouse (new PyPI)</b>: <a href='https://pypi.io/' target='_blank'>pypi.io</a> <br/> <b>BigQuery Data Source</b>: <br/> <a href='https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2016-May/028986.html' target='_blank'>mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2016-May/028986.html</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/rollbar'>Rollbar</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Do you think it's a good idea to test your software? Do you write unit tests or other automated verification for code? I think most of us do these days. A key question is how do you know whether your tests sufficiently verify your code? The standard answer is code coverage. <br/> <br/> But there is a difference between executing code (which code coverage measures) and truly verifying it. <br/> <br/> On this episode, we'll talk with Austin Bingham. He created a mutation testing framework for Python that goes beyond code coverage to actually perform this verification. It's a fresh and powerful idea. I hope you enjoy it! <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Cosmic ray on Github</b>: <a href='https://github.com/sixty-north/cosmic-ray' target='_blank'>github.com/sixty-north/cosmic-ray</a> <br/> <b>Cosmic ray on PyPI</b>: <a href=' https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cosmic_ray/1.0.0a0' target='_blank'>pypi.python.org/pypi/cosmic_ray</a> <br/> <b>TinyDB</b>: <a href='http://tinydb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/' target='_blank'>tinydb.readthedocs.io</a> <br/> <b>TinyDB on Github</b>: <a href='https://github.com/msiemens/tinydb' target='_blank'>github.com/msiemens/tinydb</a> <br/> <b>Austin on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/austin_bingham' target='_blank'>@austin_bingham</a> <br/> <b>Sixty North</b>: <a href='http://sixty-north.com/' target='_blank'>sixty-north.com</a> <br/> <b>The Python Apprentice book</b>: <br/> <a href='https://leanpub.com/python-apprentice' target='_blank'>leanpub.com/python-apprentice</a> <br/> <b>50% off coupon for apprentice book</b>: <br/> <a href='https://leanpub.com/python-apprentice/c/talk-python-to-me' target='_blank'>leanpub.com/python-apprentice/c/talk-python-to-me</a> <br/> <b>The Python Journeyman book</b>: <br/> <a href='https://leanpub.com/python-journeyman' target='_blank'>leanpub.com/python-journeyman</a> <br/> <b>The Python Master</b>: <br/> <a href='https://leanpub.com/python-master' target='_blank'>leanpub.com/python-master</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

What's it like to learn Python? Yes, some of you may have just picked up the language while others have lived and breathed it for years. Either way, you may have some hindsight bias towards the experience. What was hard? What were your expectations? What delighted you? <br/> <br/> Consider this episode your time-capsule to explore just this experience, 10 months in the making. It starts on July 22, 2015 with a unique user group / meetup called San Diego Technology Immersion Group or SDTIG for short. This group spends 6-8 months deep diving together into a topic rather than hearing a different 1 hour topic per month. We'll follow the organizers and students before many of them learn a line of Python all the way to the end 8 months later after they've studied the language, web, and data science frameworks. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>SDTIG Meetup</b>: <br/> <a href='http://www.meetup.com/San-Diego-Technology-Immersion-Group-SDTIG/' target='_blank'>meetup.com/San-Diego-Technology-Immersion-Group-SDTIG</a> <br/> <b>Crafting Bytes</b>: <a href='http://www.craftingbytes.com/' target='_blank'>craftingbytes.com</a> <br/> <b>Scott Reed</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/mscottreed' target='_blank'>@mscottreed</a> <br/> <b>Brad Cunningham</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/Foovanadil' target='_blank'>@foovanadil</a> <br/> <b>Ike Ellis</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/ike_ellis' target='_blank'>@ike_ellis</a> <br/> <br/> <strong>Python recorded meetups</strong> <br/> <b>Meeting 1</b>: <a href='https://youtu.be/IbYyVh5BZws' target='_blank'>youtu.be/IbYyVh5BZws</a> <br/> <b>Meeting 2</b>: <a href='https://youtu.be/LN-kUWW_9wM' target='_blank'>youtu.be/LN-kUWW_9wM</a> <br/> <b>Meeting 3</b>: <a href='https://youtu.be/OOnMHo6x-6c' target='_blank'>youtu.be/OOnMHo6x-6c</a> <br/> <b>Meeting 4</b>: <a href='https://youtu.be/_W8AcWcjd3U' target='_blank'>youtu.be/_W8AcWcjd3U</a> <br/> <b>Meeting 5</b>: <a href='https://youtu.be/KF0ufWzhs6U' target='_blank'>youtu.be/KF0ufWzhs6U</a> <br/> <b>Meeting 6</b>: <a href='https://youtu.be/ai9eorc7zLA' target='_blank'>youtu.be/ai9eorc7zLA</a> <br/> <b>Meeting 7</b>: <a href='https://youtu.be/nxvwVty9cDs' target='_blank'>youtu.be/nxvwVty9cDs</a> <br/> <b>Meeting 8 (final)</b>: <a href='https://youtu.be/ELp-iLJ26is' target='_blank'>youtu.be/ELp-iLJ26is</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

How often do you read some news headline about free speech denied and human rights being suppressed and think that sucks but there is nothing I can do about it from my distant perspective. I guess you could vote slightly differently in the next election and maybe, just maybe, it will have a small impact in 4 years time. <br/> <br/> If you're a technologist or developer, you have way more power than you realize. Still the challenge is could you use your skills to make a difference? Maybe you could remove a layer surveillance or add a layer of anonymity for the affected people. <br/> <br/> If the answer is yes, and it probably is, then the question becomes would you do and even should you act? This week on Talk Python To Me you'll meet Pete Fein who spent two years of his life helping others using his technical skills. His story is both inspiring and amazing. It will show you what can be done to help people in need. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Pete on twitter (personal)</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/wearpants' target='_blank'>@wearpants</a> <br/> <b>Pete on twitter (tech)</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/petecode' target='_blank'>@petecode</a> <br/> <b>Pete on BBC</b>: <a href='http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17914501' target='_blank'>bbc.com/news/magazine-17914501</a> <br/> <b>Datalove in a Time of Cyberwar (video)</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7GhNK6K8fQ' target='_blank'>.youtube.com/watch?v=I7GhNK6K8fQ</a> <br/> <b>Free Software, Free People - PyCon 2015</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3dimvwrnO8' target='_blank'>youtube.com/watch?v=A3dimvwrnO8</a> <br/> <b>Telecomix.org</b>: <a href='http://telecomix.org/' target='_blank'>telecomix.org</a> <br/> <b>Slashdot article</b>: <a href='https://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/10/05/1249209/telecomix-releases-54gb-of-syrian-censorship-logs' target='_blank'>yro.slashdot.org/story/11/10/05/1249209/telecomix-releases-54gb-of-syrian-censorship-logs</a> <br/> <b>Blue Coat WSJ Article</b>: <a href='http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970203687504577001911398596328' target='_blank'>wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970203687504577001911398596328</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Transcripts on GitHub</b>: <a href='https://github.com/mikeckennedy/talk-python-transcripts' target='_blank'>github.com/mikeckennedy/talk-python-transcripts</a> <br/> <b>Anthony Shaw's Graph</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/anthonypjshaw/status/734339624605257728' target='_blank'>twitter.com/anthonypjshaw/status/734339624605257728</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

You've heard me talk previously about scaling Python and Python performance on this show. But on this episode I'm bringing you a very interesting project pushing the upper bound of Python performance for a certain class of applications. <br/> <br/> You'll meet Braxton McKee from Ufora. They have developed an entirely new Python runtime that is focused on horizontally scaling Python applications across 1000's of CPU cores and even GPUs. They describe it as "compiled, automatically parallel python for data science". <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Ufora Platform</b>: <a href='https://ufora.github.io/ufora/' target='_blank'>ufora.github.io/ufora/</a> <br/> <b>Ufora on Github</b>: <a href='https://github.com/ufora/ufora' target='_blank'>github.com/ufora</a> <br/> <b>Ufora company</b>: <a href='http://www.ufora.com/' target='_blank'>ufora.com</a> <br/> <b>Braxton on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/braxtonmckee' target='_blank'>@braxtonmckee</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

What do you do when you are a high caliber mathematician or scientist and you want share your algorithms and code? This sounds like a job for github, but the problem is often this work is done on proprietary platforms such as Magma, Matlab, Mathematica or others. <br/> <br/> Not only can you not share your licenses for say, Matlab, but there are often proprietary separate libraries and tools for specialized work. These are expensive products. One example from my distant past was using the Wavelet toolbox on Matlab. Matlab is 2,000 euros and the wavelet library is another 1,000 euros! So to share my code, you must have both licenses for yourself. This is a problem. <br/> <br/> Well, if you're William Stein you take this problem and turn it into an opportunity to build an open source competitor to Matlab and related platforms. This episode is all about SageMath, an open source, feature rich option for scientists and mathematicians built by over 500 contributors and consisting of over 500k lines of Python and Cython code.<br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

What do you focus on once you've learned the core concepts of the Python programming language and ecosystem? <br/> <br/> Obviously, knowing a few fundamental packages in your space is critical. If you're a web developer, you should probably know flask or pyramid, and sqlalchemy really well. If you're a data scientist, import pandas, numpy, matplotlib need to be something you type often and intuitively. <br/> <br/> But then what? Well I have a few topics for you! This week you'll meet Mark Summerfield, prolific author of many Python books. We spend time digging into the ideas behind his book Python in Practice: Create Better Programs Using Concurrency, Libraries, and Patterns. <br/> <br/> What I really like about these topics is that they have a "long shelf life".

When you think about the performance of your software, there is nothing more low level and fundamental than how your code executes on the CPU itself. Many of us study and try to understand how to maximize performance at this low level. But few are in a position to define what happens at this level. <br/> <br/> That's why I'm thrilled to share the work that Intel, the largest PC chip manufacture, is doing specifically to make Python faster and to make their chips execute Python even better. <br/> <br/> This week you'll meet David Stewart, manager in the Intel Data Center Software Technology group at Intel.

You likely know that Python is one of the fastest growing languages for data science. <br/> <br/> This is a discipline that combines the scientific inquiry of hypotheses and tests, the mathematical intuition of probability and statistics, the AI foundations of machine learning, a fluency in big data processing, and the Python language itself. That is a very broad set of skills we need to be good data scientists and yet each one is deep and often hard to understand. <br/> <br/> That's why I'm excited to speak with Joel Grus, a data scientist from Seattle. He wrote a book to help us all understand what's actually happening when we employ libraries such as scikit-learn or numpy. It's called Data Science from Scratch and that's the topic of this week's episode. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Book: Data Science from Scratch</b>: <a href='http://amzn.to/1rhcbdT' target='_blank'>amzn.to/1rhcbdT</a> <br/> <b>Joel on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/joelgrus' target='_blank'>@joelgrus</a> <br/> <b>Joel on the web</b>: <a href=' http://joelgrus.com/' target='_blank'>joelgrus.com</a> <br/> <b>Partially Derivative Episode</b>: <a href='http://partiallyderivative.com/news/2016/04/26/season-2-episode-8-the-love-child-of-princess-leia-and-jabba-the-hut' target='_blank'>partiallyderivative.com</a> <br/> <b>Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence</b>: <a href='http://allenai.org/' target='_blank'>allenai.org</a> <br/> <br/> <strong>Data Science Libraries</strong> <br/> <br/> <b>numpy</b>: <a href='http://www.numpy.org/' target='_blank'>numpy.org</a> <br/> <b>Numpy episode: #34: <br/> Continuum: Scientific Python and The Business of Open Source</b>: <br/> <a href='/episodes/show/34' target='_blank'>talkpython.fm/episodes/show/34</a> <br/> <br/> <b>pandas</b>: <a href='http://pandas.pydata.org/' target='_blank'>pandas.pydata.org</a> <br/> <b>scikit-learn</b>: <a href='http://scikit-learn.org' target='_blank'>scikit-learn.org</a> <br/> <b>scikit-learn episode: #31: Machine Learning with Python and scikit-learn</b>: <br/> <a href='/episodes/show/31' target='_blank'>talkpython.fm/episodes/show/31</a> <br/> <br/> <b>matplotlib</b>: <a href='http://matplotlib.org/' target='_blank'>matplotlib.org</a> <br/> <b>Google's TensorFlow</b>: <a href='https://www.tensorflow.org/' target='_blank'>tensorflow.org</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

In the software field, we pride ourselves on fairness, openness and the fact that our workplaces are largely meritocracies. And compared to other environments, I would say this is certainly true. It's one of the reasons I love being a developer. <br/> <br/> And yet, if we look at programming jobs in Silicon Valley, you'll see that over 85% of them are filled by men and less than 15% women. <br/> <br/> If we look it from a race perspective, it's even more bleak. <br/> <br/> Among the major tech companies like Google, Twitter, and LinkedIn, you'll see that over 90% of the employees are either white or Asian. Blacks and Hispanics combined make up less than 4% of total employees and probably even fewer by percent of developers in those companies. Given that they represent 28% of the US population, this means there are 7 times fewer black and hispanic developers than there should be. <br/> <br/> Folks this is wrong. <br/> <br/> We should all be doing what we can to help improve this balance as it's not just the right thing to do, but we'll all be better for it. This week you'll meet Kate Heddleston who gave an excellent talk at PyCon 2015 entitled "How our engineering environments are killing diversity (and how we can fix it)". What's great about it is that it comes with ideas for improving things. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>PyCon Talk</b>: <a href='https://youtu.be/kNke_4WOWAU' target='_blank'>youtu.be/kNke_4WOWAU</a> <br/> <b>Kate's website</b>: <a href='https://kateheddleston.com/' target='_blank'>kateheddleston.com</a> <br/> <b>Blog post series</b>: <br/> <a href='https://kateheddleston.com/blog/how-our-engineering-environments-are-killing-diversity-introduction' target='_blank'>kateheddleston.com/blog/how-our-engineering-environments-are-killing-diversity-introduction</a> <br/> <b>What is water (David Foster Wallace)</b>: <a href='https://youtu.be/8CrOL-ydFMI' target='_blank'>youtu.be/8CrOL-ydFMI</a> <br/> <b>Stats from intro segment on demographics of programming</b>: <br/> <a href='http://www.techrepublic.com/article/diversity-stats-10-tech-companies-that-have-come-clean/' target='_blank'>techrepublic.com/article/diversity-stats-10-tech-companies-that-have-come-clean</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

How often have people asked what language / technology you work in and when you answered Python they got a little confused and asked, what can you actually build with Python? What type of apps? The implication being Python is just a notch above Bash scripts. That real things aren't built with Python but rather Java, C#, Objective-C and so on. <br/> <br/> Mahmoud Hashemi and I might be able to help you put some real evidence and experience behind your response. On episode 54 of Talk Python To Me, I talk with Mahmoud about his new online course he wrote for O'Reilly entitled Enterprise Software in Python.

Have you ever played a massively multiplayer online game? My first experience with these types of games with text-based role playing games called MUDs back in the early 90's. Well, things have come a long way since then. Game such as Eve Online have hundreds of thousands of players exploring, trading, and battling within a universe of over 7,000 star systems. Gameplay in Eve Online consists of beautiful 3D space flight within a dynamic universe and many real world players. <br/> <br/> You may have played Eve Online as it's one of the first major MMOs released in 2003. But did you know that Python is at the core of the game, playing a critical role in the backend infrastructure as well as a major role in the client side game itself! <br/> <br/> On this episode, you'll meet Kristinn Sigurbergsson from CCP games to dig into Python at Eve Online. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Eve Online</b>: <a href='https://www.eveonline.com/' target='_blank'>eveonline.com</a> <br/> <b>Kristinn on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/CCP_Tuxford' target='_blank'>@CCP_Tuxford</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Michael's Video Course</b>: <br/> <a href='https://training.talkpython.fm/courses/details/python-language-jumpstart-building-10-apps' target='_blank'>https://training.talkpython.fm/courses/details/python-language-jumpstart-building-10-apps</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

What do you do when you are working with an amazing web application that, for whatever reason, doesn't have an API? One option is to say I wish that site had an API and give up. Or, you could use scrapy, an open source web scraping framework from Pablo Hoffman and <a href='scrapinghub.com'>scrapinghub.com</a> and create your own API! <br/> <br/> On episode 50 of Talk Python To Me, we'll talk about how to do this, when it makes sense, and even when it's allowed. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Scrapy Project</b>: <a href='http://scrapy.org/' target='_blank'>scrapy.org</a> <br/> <b>Scraping Hub</b>: <a href='http://scrapinghub.com/' target='_blank'>scrapinghub.com</a> <br/> <b>Pablo on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/PabloHoffman' target='_blank'>@PabloHoffman</a> <br/> <b>Pablo' site</b>: <a href='http://pablohoffman.com/' target='_blank'>pablohoffman.com</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Michael's Video Project</b>: <br/> <a href='https://blog.michaelckennedy.net/2016/02/16/im-building-20-online-python-courses-and-i-need-your-help-video-course-library-announced/' target='_blank'>blog.michaelckennedy.net/2016/02/16/im-building-20-online-python-courses-and-i-need-your-help-video-course-library-announced</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

This episode you'll learn about a project that has the potential to unlock massive innovation around how CPython understands and executes code. And it's coming from what many of you may consider an unlikely source: Microsoft and the recently open-sourced, cross-platform .NET Core runtime. <br/> <br/> You'll meet Brett Cannon who works on Microsoft's Azure Data group. Along with Dino Viehland, he is working on a new initiative called Pyjion (pronounced Pigeon) P-y-j-i-on, a JIT framework that can become part of CPython itself paving the way for many new just-in-time compilation initiatives in the future. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Pyjion project</b>: <a href='https://github.com/Microsoft/Pyjion' target='_blank'>github.com/Microsoft/Pyjion</a> <br/> <b>Brett's PyData Keynote on interpreters</b>: <br/> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdJ9BxgRpOY' target='_blank'>youtube.com/watch?v=NdJ9BxgRpOY</a> <br/> <b>Philip Guo's CPython internals episode (#22)</b>: <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/22' target='_blank'>talkpython.fm/episodes/show/22</a> <br/> <b>Brett on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/brettsky' target='_blank'>@brettsky</a> <br/> <b>Michael's Video Project</b>: <br/> <a href='https://blog.michaelckennedy.net/2016/02/16/im-building-20-online-python-courses-and-i-need-your-help-video-course-library-announced/' target='_blank'>blog.michaelckennedy.net/2016/02/16/im-building-20-online-python-courses-and-i-need-your-help-video-course-library-announced</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

When you think of Python web microframeworks, Flask is definitely near the top of the list. With almost 19,000 stars on GitHub it's a powerful and extensible web framework and it even powers the bandwidth intensive audio delivery of the Talk Python To Me podcast. <br/> <br/> In this episode, number 48, we'll talk with Miguel Grinberg who has written some amazing Flask tutorials, books, and open source projects! <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Miguel on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/miguelgrinberg ' target='_blank'>@miguelgrinberg</a> <br/> <b>Miguel's blog</b>: <a href='http://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/' target='_blank'>blog.miguelgrinberg.com</a> <br/> <b>"Flask At Scale" tutorial at PyCon 2016 in Portland</b>: <br/> <a href='http://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/flask-at-scale-tutorial-at-pycon-2016-in-portland' target='_blank'>blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/flask-at-scale-tutorial-at-pycon-2016-in-portland</a> <br/> <b>Flask Web Development (Amazon)</b>: <a href='http://amzn.to/1oVnibk' target='_blank'>amzn.to/1oVnibk</a> <br/> <b>Flask Web Development (O'Reilly)</b>: <br/> <a href='http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920031116.do?cmp=af-webplatform-books-videos-product_cj_9781449372620_%25zp' target='_blank'>http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920031116.do?cmp=af-webplatform-books-videos-product_cj_9781449372620_%25zp</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Open source projects</b> <br/> <b>Flask-SocketIO</b>: <a href='https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/Flask-SocketIO' target='_blank'>github.com/miguelgrinberg/Flask-SocketIO</a> <br/> <b>Flask-Migrate</b>: <a href='https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/Flask-Migrate' target='_blank'>github.com/miguelgrinberg/Flask-Migrate</a> <br/> <b>Flask-HTTPAuth</b>: <a href='https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/Flask-HTTPAuth' target='_blank'>github.com/miguelgrinberg/Flask-HTTPAuth</a> <br/> <b>python-socketio</b>: <a href='https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/python-socketio' target='_blank'>github.com/miguelgrinberg/python-socketio</a> <br/> <b>Flask-Moment</b>: <a href='https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/Flask-Moment' target='_blank'>github.com/miguelgrinberg/Flask-Moment</a> <br/> <b>Flask-PageDown</b>: <a href='https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/Flask-PageDown' target='_blank'>github.com/miguelgrinberg/Flask-PageDown</a> <br/> <b>Climax</b>: <a href='https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/climax' target='_blank'>github.com/miguelgrinberg/climax</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Introduction to the PuDB Python Debugging Tool</b>: <br/> <a href='http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/pudb.html' target='_blank'>heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/pudb.html</a> <br/> <b>Course Kickstarter</b>: <a href='https://talkpython.fm/course' target='_blank'>talkpython.fm/course</a> <br/> <b>Michael's Online courses project</b>: <br/> <a href='https://blog.michaelckennedy.net/2016/02/16/im-building-20-online-python-courses-and-i-need-your-help-video-course-library-announced/' target='_blank'>blog.michaelckennedy.net/2016/02/16/im-building-20-online-python-courses-and-i-need-your-help-video-course-library-announced</a> <br/> <b>Talk Python Training</b>: <a href='https://training.talkpython.fm/' target='_blank'>https://training.talkpython.fm/</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

This week on Talk Python To Me, we'll dive into the world of typeface and font development. Even though we spend our days immersed in fonts, from our computer interfaces, signs, books, television and more, much of the process and thinking about fonts is invisible to us. If we dig into font development, we'd see that Python is a key component of the font developer's toolkit. <br/> <br/> This week we have a very special guest to tell us all about it. We'll talk with Just van Rossum about how he has helped pioneer the use of Python for font development. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>FontTools Code</b>: <a href='https://github.com/behdad/fonttools' target='_blank'>github.com/behdad/fonttools</a> <br/> <b>Drawbot</b>: <a href='http://drawbot.com/' target='_blank'>www.drawbot.com</a> <br/> <b>Drawbot Images</b>: <a href='http://dailydrawbot.tumblr.com/' target='_blank'>dailydrawbot.tumblr.com</a> <br/> <b>Robofont UFO Editor</b>: <a href='http://doc.robofont.com/' target='_blank'>robofont.com</a> <br/> <b>Helvetica Movie Trailer</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkoX0pEwSCw' target='_blank'>youtube.com/watch?v=wkoX0pEwSCw</a> <br/> <b>Objectified Movie (Follow on)</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9E2D2PaIcI' target='_blank'>youtube.com/watch?v=S9E2D2PaIcI</a> <br/> <b>Michael's Video Project</b>: <br/> <a href='https://blog.michaelckennedy.net/2016/02/16/im-building-20-online-python-courses-and-i-need-your-help-video-course-library-announced/' target='_blank'>blog.michaelckennedy.net/2016/02/16/im-building-20-online-python-courses-and-i-need-your-help-video-course-library-announced</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

What did you experience the last time you watched a movie in a theater? Were you captivated by fast-paced action and special effects? Deeply moved by the characters that came to life during those two hours when the outside world just melted away? Yeah, movies are still magical. <br/> <br/> What was likely not top of mind was all the work that went into that movie, from the editing of the audio and video, the special effects, renderings, and coordination of maybe 100's of creative professionals. It turns out that Python plays a key role in coordinating all of this production work and that's what this episode is all about. <br/> <br/> Join me as I talk with Rob Blau from Autodesk about Python in the movies and entertainment business. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Autodesk</b>: <a href='http://www.autodesk.com/' target='_blank'>autodesk.com</a> <br/> <b>Maya (3D animation)</b>: <a href='http://www.autodesk.com/products/maya/overview' target='_blank'>autodesk.com/products/maya</a> <br/> <b>Rob Blau</b>: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/robblau' target='_blank'>linkedin.com/in/robblau</a> <br/> <b>Michael's course: Python Jumpstart by Building 10 Apps</b>: <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/course' target='_blank'>talkpython.fm/course</a> <br/> <b>Pyjion by Microsoft</b>: <a href='https://github.com/Microsoft/Pyjion' target='_blank'>github.com/Microsoft/Pyjion</a> <br/> <b>IronPython</b>: <a href='http://ironpython.net/' target='_blank'>ironpython.net</a></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

What is the role, the core purpose of writing tests for your application? Should you write more unit tests and fewer integration tests, or is it actually the other way around? You may have heard of the test pyramid with unit tests building the foundation. In this episode we talk about a variation on that theme called the test column.

One of the fastest growing areas in Python is scientific computing. In scientific computing with Python, there are a few key packages that make it special. These include NumPy / SciPy / and related packages. The one that brings it all together, visually, is IPython (now known as Project Jupyter). That's the topic on episode 44 of Talk Python To Me. <br/> <br/> You'll learn about "the big split", the plans for the recent $6 million in funding, Jupyter at CERN and the LHC and more with Min RK & Matthias Bussonnier. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Project Jupyter</b>: <a href='http://jupyter.org/' target='_blank'>jupyter.org</a> <br/> <b>Min RK</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/minrk' target='_blank'>@minrk</a> <br/> <b>Matthias Bussonnier</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/mbussonn' target='_blank'>@mbussonn</a> <br/> <b>Complexity graph</b>: <br/> <a href='http://grokcode.com/864/snakefooding-python-code-for-complexity-visualization/' target='_blank'>grokcode.com/864/snakefooding-python-code-for-complexity-visualization</a> <br/> <b>Jess Hamrick deployment</b>: <br/> <a href='https://developer.rackspace.com/blog/deploying-jupyterhub-for-education/' target='_blank'>developer.rackspace.com/blog/deploying-jupyterhub-for-education</a> <br/> <b>My Binder</b>: <a href='http://mybinder.org/' target='_blank'>mybinder.org</a> <br/> <b>Try Jupyter</b>: <a href='https://try.jupyter.org/' target='_blank'>try.jupyter.org</a> <br/> <b>Lorena Barba's AeroPython course</b>: <a href='https://github.com/barbagroup/AeroPython' target='_blank'>github.com/barbagroup/AeroPython</a> <br/> <b>Jessica Hamrick's Ansible scripts</b>: <a href='https://github.com/compmodels/jupyterhub-deploy' target='_blank'>github.com/compmodels/jupyterhub-deploy</a> <br/> <b>Jake Vanderplas blogging with notebooks</b>: <a href='https://jakevdp.github.io/' target='_blank'>jakevdp.github.io</a> <br/> <b>Peter Norvig's regex golf notebook</b>: <br/> <a href='http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/url/norvig.com/ipython/xkcd1313.ipynb' target='_blank'>nbviewer.jupyter.org/url/norvig.com/ipython/xkcd1313.ipynb</a> <br/> <b>SageMathCloud</b>: <a href='https://cloud.sagemath.com/' target='_blank'>cloud.sagemath.com</a> <br/> <b>First version of IPython</b>: <a href='https://gist.github.com/fperez/1579699' target='_blank'>gist.github.com/fperez/1579699</a> <br/> <b>Historical perspective</b>: <br/> <a href='http://blog.fperez.org/2012/01/ipython-notebook-historical.html' target='_blank'>blog.fperez.org/2012/01/ipython-notebook-historical.html</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

Have you ever dreamt of creating a startup that will change the world? You and your two best friends leave the dull world of writing internal business apps and go heads-down for three months to launch something amazing? <br/> <br/> It turns out that Python plays a key role in many early stage startups. And this week's guest, Leah Culver has some amazing experience and stories about both! <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Leah on Twitter</b>: <a href='http://twitter.com/leahculver' target='_blank'>@leahculver</a> <br/> <b>Leah's website</b>: <a href='http://leahculver.com/' target='_blank'>leahculver.com</a> <br/> <b>Grove</b>: <a href='https://grove.io/' target='_blank'>grove.io</a> <br/> <b>Convore [historical]</b>: <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convore' target='_blank'>wikipedia.org/wiki/Convore</a> <br/> <b>Pownce [historical]</b>: <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pownce' target='_blank'>wikipedia.org/wiki/Pownce</a> <br/> <b>boto package</b>: <a href='https://github.com/boto/boto3' target='_blank'>github.com/boto</a> <br/> <b>Startup music #1</b>: <a href='https://soundcloud.com/smixx/takin-vc-money-money-cash-ipos' target='_blank'>Takin' VC Money by Smixx</a> <br/> <b>Startup music #2</b>: <a href='http://www.smixxtape.com/seed-round' target='_blank'>Seed round by Smixx</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/gocd'>GoCD</a>

Have you heard about the works on my machine certification program? It's a really awesome certification for developers. It was created by Joseph Cooney and enhanced by Jeff Atwood (of stackoverflow fame). Here's how it works: <br/> <br/> 1. Compile your application code. Getting the latest version of any recent code changes from other developers is purely optional and not a requirement for certification. <br/> 2. Launch the application or website that has just been compiled. <br/> 3. Cause one code path in the code you're checking in to be executed. The preferred way to do this is with ad-hoc manual testing of the simplest possible case for the feature in question. Omit this step if the code change was less than five lines, or if, in the developer's professional opinion, the code change could not possibly result in an error. <br/> 4. Check the code changes into your version control system. <br/> <br/> Congratulations! You're fully certified. <br/> <br/> On this episode of Talk Python To Me, you'll meet Florian Motlik from codeship. He's here to tell us all continuous integration and continuous delivery. Maybe he can help keep you and your team from getting certified, in a bad way! <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Codeship</b>: <a href='https://codeship.com/' target='_blank'>codeship.com</a> <br/> <b>CI with Docker</b>: <br/> <a href='https://blog.codeship.com/continuous-integration-and-delivery-with-docker/' target='_blank'>blog.codeship.com/continuous-integration-and-delivery-with-docker</a> <br/> <b>Florin's website</b>: <a href='http://flomotlik.me/' target='_blank'>flomotlik.me</a> <br/> <b>Florin on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/flomotlik' target='_blank'>@flomotlik</a> <br/> <b>Works on my machine cert</b>: <br/> <a href='https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-works-on-my-machine-certification-program/' target='_blank'>blog.codinghorror.com/the-works-on-my-machine-certification-program</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/digitalocean'>Digital Ocean</a>

As a software developer, what's the most important application on your computer? If your answer is Microsoft Outlook, my heart goes out to you - stay strong! But for most of us, it's probably a toss up between your web browser and code editor. For editors, there are basically two camps: lightweight smart, text editors such as vim, emacs, and sublime text and heavy weight but highly functional IDEs such as PyDev and PyCharm. This week you'll meet Dmitry Trofimov who is one of the main developers behind one of my favorite editors: PyCharm. <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>JetBrains</b>: <a href='https://www.jetbrains.com/' target='_blank'>jetbrains.com</a> <br/> <b>PyCharm</b>: <a href='https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/' target='_blank'>jetbrains.com/pycharm</a> <br/> <b>9 reasons you should be using PyCharm</b>: <a href='http://bit.ly/whypycharm' target='_blank'>bit.ly/whypycharm</a> <br/> <b>Dmitry on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/dmitrytrofimov' target='_blank'>@dmitrytrofimov</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

Do you have a new web project coming up? Are you thinking of choosing Django or maybe Flask? Those are excellent frameworks, but you might also want to check out TurboGears. It was created and released around the same time as Django. It lets you starts your project as a microframework (like Flask) and yet can scale up to a fullstack solution (like Django). It also has built-in support both relational DBs (via SQLAlchemy) and MongoDB.

You've probably heard of Infrastructure-as-a-services (IaaS) cloud providers such as Amazon's AWS, with EC2 in particular, and to a lesser degree Microsoft's Azure cloud platform. But have you hear of OpenStack? It is an incredibly powerful IaaS platform which you can buy as a service or install in your own data center to build your own private cloud (yeah, private clouds, that's a thing).

The largest machine ever built is the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It's primary goal was the discovery of the Higgs Boson: the fundamental particle which gives all objects mass. The LHC team of 1000's of physicists achieved that goal in 2012 winning the Nobel Prize in physics. Kyle Cranmer is here to share how Python was at the core of this amazing achievement! <br/> <br/> You'll learn about the different experiment including ATLAS and CMS. We talk a bit about the physics involved in the discovery before digging into the software and computer technology used at CERN. The collisions generate a tremendous amount of data and the technology to filter, gather, and understand the data is super interesting. <br/> <br/> You'll also learn about Crayfis, the app that turns your phone into a cosmic ray detector.

What if you could bottle up all the wisdom and hard-fought experience of many expert Python developers and power up your own skills? That's what Brett Slatkin did and he put it in his book Effective Python. <br/> <br/> Brett has had a unique opportunity to learn the correct and efficient ways to write Python. He has worked at Google on Google App Engine (GAE) alongside greats such as Guido van Rossum and Alex Martelli.

Are you fluent in Python or do you speak the language with an accent? Maybe you have a hint of C++ in your for-in loop or even a little C# coming through in your function names. Python's ease of learning can also lead to non-pythonic patterns for even experienced developers. It's so easy to jump in and (superficially) learn the language that you might miss the deeper understanding and Pythonic thinking. <br/> <br/> Luciano Ramalho is here to help us clear up that accent that has been giving us away to our peers and he is giving everyone a deeper understanding of this language we love with his just released book "Fluent Python". <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Fluent Python at O'Reilly</b>: <a href='http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032519.do' target='_blank'>shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032519.do</a> <br/> <b>Luciano on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/ramalhoorg' target='_blank'>@ramalhoorg</a> <br/> <b>Book on Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/FluentPython' target='_blank'>@FluentPython</a> <br/> <b>Fluent Python on Amazon</b>: <a href='http://amzn.to/1EhZeG4' target='_blank'>amzn.to/1EhZeG4</a> <br/> <b>Luciano's encapsulation with descriptors</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-q0cQ7Gyws' target='_blank'>youtube.com/watch?v=L-q0cQ7Gyws</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/codeship'>Codeship</a>

Right now there is a chaos monkey running through AWS knocking over Netflix servers. But don't be alarmed! It's all part of the plan. This is Talk Python to Me with Roy Rapoport from Netflix and the topic is "Python at Netflix." <br/> <br/> Netflix is one of the largest and most innovative Internet companies. They represent approximately 35% of all network traffic on the entire Internet! They are one of or the biggest users of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). So you can imagine that they some huge technology challenges and some amazing solutions. <br/> <br/> A significant part of those solutions are built with Python and that's what this episode is all about.

We discuss the history of the project and how Chris took inspiration from the Pylons project as well as some notable uses of Pyramid <more /> (including <a href='http://www.talkpythontome.com'>talkpythontome.com</a>). <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Pyramid project</b>: <br/> <a href='http://www.pylonsproject.org/' target='_blank'>pylonsproject.org</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Tutorials and walkthroughs</b>: <br/> <a href='http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_tutorials/en/latest/' target='_blank'>docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_tutorials/en/latest/</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Pyramid on PyPI</b>: <br/> <a href='https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyramid' target='_blank'>pypi.python.org/pypi/pyramid</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Python 101 on Kickstarter</b>: <br/> <a href='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/34257246/the-python-101-screencast' target='_blank'>kickstarter.com/projects/34257246/the-python-101-screencast</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

In this show we speak with Jesse Davis from MongoDB. Jesse is the maintainer for a number of popular open-source projects including the Python MongoDB driver known as PyMongo and Mongo C (for C/C++ developers, yes you read right! C developers). <more />Jesse discusses how interesting it is to write both Python and C code and how it reawakens part of the brain. <br/> <br/> You'll learn a little about MongoDB, how it compares to RDBMSes as well as other NoSQL data stores. <br/> <br/> Join Michael and Jesse for these great topics and much more! <br/> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>M101P, MongoDB for Python Programmers</b>: <br/> <a href='https://university.mongodb.com/courses/M101P/about' target='_blank'>https://university.mongodb.com/courses/M101P/about</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Jesse's Blog</b>: <br/> <a href='http://emptysqua.re/' target='_blank'>http://emptysqua.re/</a> <br/> <br/> <b>PyMongo</b>: <br/> <a href='https://api.mongodb.org/python/current' target='_blank'>https://api.mongodb.org/python/current</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Motor</b>: <br/> <a href='https://motor.readthedocs.org' target='_blank'>https://motor.readthedocs.org</a> <br/> <br/> <b>Toro</b>: <br/> <a href='https://toro.readthedocs.org' target='_blank'>https://toro.readthedocs.org</a> <br/> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/pythongear'>Python Gear</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>

In this episode, our guest is Nicola Iarocci discuss his open-source RESTful framework named EVE. You will learn about the history of EVE, how you get started, and some of the more notable deployment and users of the framework. <br/> <br/> Nicola and Michael talk about the careful balance of leading a successful open-source project in EVE and keeping the day job going. You'll also learn why Nicola chose MongoDB as the default backend for EVE. <br/> <br/> We also discuss how Nicola got into Python and compare and contrast the open-source world of the Python community with other ecosystems such as the C# / .NET ecosystem. <br/> <br/> <strong>Check out Nicola's course on <a href="https://training.talkpython.fm/courses/explore_eve/eve-building-restful-mongodb-backed-apis-course" target="_blank">Eve REST Framework</a></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://training.talkpython.fm/courses/explore_eve/eve-building-restful-mongodb-backed-apis-course" target="_blank"> <br/> <img src="https://training.talkpython.fm/static/course_images/eve-and-mongo.png" style="max-width: 500px;"/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 11px;">training.talkpython.fm/courses/explore_eve/eve-building-restful-mongodb-backed-apis-course</span> <br/> </a></div> <br/> Links from the show: <br/> <div style="font-size: .85em;"> <br/> <b>Nicola's website</b>: <a href='http://nicolaiarocci.com/' target='_blank'>http://nicolaiarocci.com/</a> <br/> <b>EVE website</b>: <a href='http://python-eve.org/' target='_blank'>http://python-eve.org/</a> <br/> <b>EVE github</b>: <a href='https://github.com/nicolaiarocci/eve' target='_blank'>https://github.com/nicolaiarocci/eve</a> <br/> <b>Nicola's Twitter</b>: <a href='https://twitter.com/nicolaiarocci' target='_blank'>https://twitter.com/nicolaiarocci</a> <br/> <b>Flask web framework</b>: <a href='http://flask.pocoo.org/' target='_blank'>http://flask.pocoo.org/</a> <br/> <b>SQLAlchemy for EVE</b>: <a href='https://github.com/nicolaiarocci/eve-sqlalchemy' target='_blank'>https://github.com/nicolaiarocci/eve-sqlalchemy</a> <br/> <b>EVE.NET</b>: <a href='https://github.com/nicolaiarocci/Eve.NET' target='_blank'>https://github.com/nicolaiarocci/Eve.NET</a> <br/> <b>Cerberus</b>: <a href='https://github.com/nicolaiarocci/cerberus' target='_blank'>https://github.com/nicolaiarocci/cerberus</a> <br/> </div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Training</a>
