New article:

⚠️Why you should avoid import * in Python 🐍
https://pybit.es/articles/why-you-should-avoid-import-in-python/

Covering:
- Why modules are great and namespacing explained
- Why import * is a problem
- A practical example where a function gets overriden
- The recommended way to do imports
- What PEP8 has to say about this
- Protection workaround, use __all__ to define your module's public interface

#python #pythonprogramming #modules #encapsulation #namespacing #zenofpython #bestpractices #pitfalls #imports #dundermethods

People newer to Python often get confused by the statement:

if __name__ == "__main__":

That's many underscores ("dunders"), right?

In essence it lets you put code in your module that ONLY should execute when the module is called directly. So not when you import from it.

I explain this further with a practical example in this 3 minute video:

2/ After that, there will be no less than seven talks and two discussions, covering MOOCs, curriculum choices, teaching CP with PyCSP3 and many more CP teaching-related topics!

So if you haven't done so already, go to our website to register for the workshop day or just for the entire conference, while you're at it 😉

@mc this totally resonates, all too often I do dive into complex bits of #nlproc #pythonprogramming. I was reflecting today that it’s ok to start small, or in this case start from nothing! Thanks for the reminder!

An experiment: to build a separate set of Python dependencies and inject it into different Docker images via layers

Status: semi-success

The idea:
1. There are Python Docker images (A, B) which need the same set of dependencies (x, y)
2. We build a separate Python Docker image M with venv + (x, y) dependencies installed
3. Build base images for A, B
4. Put 'x' from M on top of each of them into a separate directory (e.g. /opt/mydeps/site-packages) using multistage building
5. Register '/opt/mydeps/site-packages' in PYTHONPATH

Result:
Well, technically it works and all deps could be imported into Python. The problem starts when peer dependencies intersect. Let's say:
- A depends on package z v1.0
- x depends on package z v2.0
Python will load z v2.0 from PYTHONPATH while A will expect z v1.0

#python #pandas #lessonlearned today: (1) Merge does not preserve the order unless you are merging by the index. (2) Make sure to use `ignore_index=True` when you concat or your index might acquire duplicates. Want to hear how much fun I had #debugging to come up with these gems of wisdom? 😂 #pythonprogramming

The MVT pattern, which is used in #django , is an adaptable web development pattern that can be used to create applications that are both high-quality and user-friendly. I recommend learning about the MVT pattern if you are new to web development using Django. It is a great starting point for creating web applications.
