I thought an easy project to learn machine learning was to guess the gender of a name using characteristics of the name. After playing around with different features by encoding characters of the name, I discovered you only needed THREE features for 80% accuracy which is pretty impressive. I am by no means an expert at machine learning, so if you see any errors, feel free to point them out.

Six lines of Python is all it takes to write your first machine learning program! In this episode, we'll briefly introduce what machine learning is and why it's important. Then, we'll follow a recipe for supervised learning (a technique to create a classifier from examples) and code it up.

Admino is a django package that provides a REST API for admin endpoints. It allows you to customize django admin panel.

PyCon is proud to be part of the long tradition of events that take place because the attendees themselves care and are willing to put forward hours of volunteer work to ensure that new arrivals are greeted at the registration desk, that speakers are guided to and from their session rooms, and — yes — that swag bags are all properly stuffed.

Code examples for some popular machine learning algorithms, using TensorFlow library. This tutorial is designed to easily dive into TensorFlow, through examples. It includes both notebook and code with explanations.

Jaspy is a Python VM written entirely from scratch in JavaScript with some unique features. Jaspy supports multiple threads, comes with an integrated debugger which offers remote debugging and provides a flexible preprocessor based architecture. Speed is explicitly not a main goal of this project. Jaspy aims to illustrate how web programming on the client side could be done by exploring new ways.

If you're testing out a new idea or getting a product going, you have to choose a web stack to build it on. For Python devs, Flask and Django are the two most popular web framework options. I have experience with both and have chosen one or the other for my myriad of projects and companies. Having experienced the benefits of choosing the right framework, I created a worksheet to help other devs decide. You can go through it and get a "result" of the best framework to use.

We are happy to announce the schedule for EuroPython 2016 in Bilbao.

About a year ago I was doing a lot of drone related work and was presented with the following problem: Would it be possible to use a drone to fly above the Bornean jungle and search for tagged orangutans? You are faced with a few thousand hectares of rainforest that you know harbours one or more orangutans that you need to track down. Where, how, and why do you start looking?

So, I have made a cheat sheet for Django focusing on RESTful application. It contains information like Common commands for Django, important files in Django, Django Settings, Views (i.e. controllers) , Models, Making queries in Django.

I came to know about Openshift in one of my recent projects and checked their pricing. I was surprised to see that they are also offering some free plans.

The calendar module implements classes for working with dates to manage year/month/week oriented values.

In this first part we will create our slack bot and use it to send and receive simple messages. There are multiple packages out there that we can use for our task such as python-rtmbot or slackbot. However, for this tutorial I wanted to use the basic Slack Real Time Messaging API.

Many Python developers are curious about what machine learning is and how it can be concretely applied to solve issues faced in businesses handling medium to large amount of data. Machine Learning with Python teaches you the basics of machine learning and provides a thorough hands-on understanding of the subject.
