I know that coverage.py is very important to a lot of people to understand how much of their code is being covered by their test suites. Since I’m far from an expert on coverage, I asked Ned to discuss it on the show. Today, I'm pleased to announce the first major release of Zappa - a system for running "serverless" Python web applications using AWS Lambda and AWS API Gateway. Zappa handles all of the configuration and deployment automatically - now, you can deploy an infinitely scalable application to the cloud with a single command - all for a minute fraction of the cost of a traditional web server. pycon The Talks committee has been hard at work since the Call For Proposals closed 5 weeks ago, and today we are thrilled to present the result — here are the talks that the committee has chosen for PyCon 2016 in Portland, Oregon! django I think we can all agree that React and Django Rest Framework are both awesome. But hooking React into your Django app can really be a nightmare, especially if you’re unfamiliar with webpack, npm, and babel. I’m going to walk you through how to get Django Rest Framework (DRF) to work with React. The Python 101 Screencast has been finished for a little over a month now and I am now releasing it for general consumption. The Python 101 Screencast is based on my book, Python 101. I went through all 44 chapters of the book and turned each of them into a standalone screencast. pycon PyCon accepted my talk "Write an Excellent Programming Blog". If you got in, too, congratulations! Now we have to write our talks. Steps Plan your time, Inspire, Outline, Rehearse immediately, Make room for new insights, Put off making slides, Rehearse with friends, Get a coach, Excel. webcast It’s time for another free hour-long Webinar! This time, I’ll be talking about the increasingly popular tools for data science in Python, namely Pandas and Matplotlib. How can you read data into Pandas, manipulate it, and then plot it? I’ll show you a large number of examples and use cases, and we’ll also have lots of time for Q&A. docker Docker is an open source infrastructure management platform for running and deploying software. The Docker platform is constantly evolving so an exact definition is currently a moving target. Docker can package up applications along with their necessary operating system dependencies for easier deployment across environments. In the long run it has the potential to be the abstraction layer that easily manages containers running on top of any type of server, regardless of whether that server is on Amazon Web Services, Google Compute Engine, Linode, Rackspace or elsewhere. testing The pytest core group is heading towards the biggest sprint in its history, to take place in the black forest town Freiburg in Germany. As of February 2016 we have started a funding campaign on Indiegogo to cover expenses The page also mentions some preliminary topics. Here is the campaign URL https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/python-testing-sprint-mid-2016#/ interview Aisha Bello is a current student at Cardiff Metropolitan University, where she’s finishing up a MSc in Information Technology. Her final project is centered on open source data mining technologies for small and medium-sized hospitality organizations. Aisha co-organized and coached at Django Girls Windhoek in January 2016, and is also organizing a Django Girls workshop in Lagos, Nigeria in February 2016. PEP This PEP proposes the creation of a new platform tag for Python package built distributions, such as wheels, called manylinux1_{x86_64,i686} with external dependencies limited to a standardized, restricted subset of the Linux kernel and core userspace ABI. It proposes that PyPI support uploading and distributing wheels with this platform tag, and that pip support downloading and installing these packages on compatible platforms. podcast Looking for an open source alternative to Mathematica or MatLab for solving algebraic equations? Look no further than the excellent SymPy project. It is a well built and easy to use Computer Algebra System (CAS) and in this episode we spoke with the current project maintainer Aaron Meurer about its capabilities and when you might want to use it. core python Why are you recommending Python? That's the question a colleague of mine asked when I was pitching Python for data science work. It is a fair question, and I tried to answer with facts and not opinions. django I've been using this pattern for many years in my applications, and I always found strange nobody ever mentioned it. Since it has prove useful to me in many different projects, I think it's a perfect occasion to put some life again in my blog. Luthor utilizes all efficient tricks from pholcidae to make XML parsing as simple as never before. Luthor uses lxml's iterable parsing mechanism to parse files of any size. Jobs Paris, France At Gorgias (Techstars NYC '15), we’re making customer support software to easily handle big volumes of customer requests. We’re using machine-learning to automatically group requests, suggest the right responses and show only the relevant information for the customer support agent to take swift action on repetitive tasks. Bangalore, Karnataka, India Springboard is an online education startup with a big vision for transforming education using open online learning. We believe we are in the early days of a revolution that will not only increase access to great education, but also transform the way people learn. Cornwall, United Kingdom Headforwards are looking for a Python developer to join their team on an existing project.
