We didn’t invent a new DSL, we merely adapted Python’s existing syntax to our needs. A simple class structure and a metaclass definition gave us everything we needed to build the configuration parameter files we needed.

Scrapes listings from Craigslist. Filter out listings that don’t match our criteria. Post the listings to Slack, a team chat tool, so we can discuss and rate them. Wrap the whole process into a persistent loop and deploy it to a server (so it would run continuously). Built by Vik Paruchuri - https://twitter.com/vikparuchuri

Earlier this year PEP-484 was accepted, the typing module was added to Python 3.5, and mypy moved into the umbrella of official python projects. Since it was a visible topic at the last Pycon.us, I decided to get some experience with it and see how it feels to use it. I decided I’d take a working, mature, open-source project that wasn’t written by me and “convert” it to mypy. Note this is a 3 part series with a follow up.

I'm a full time nerd, even when I'm ordering pizza online I can't stop myself from investigating how the websites I'm ordering from work. My latest investigation was Dominoes where I found a neat way to count the number of orders that they process throughout the day. This post is supposed to highlight potential dangers when exposing integer ID's, and how they can allow someone motivated (or sad) enough to track data you might not want to share. Simple Python Code to find it out has been shared.

My workplace recently collaborated with several police departments to build a dashboard showing 911 (also known as Call for Service) data, allowing users to drill down into that data. When I started on the project, there was a prototype written in dc.js, a JavaScript framework for building dynamic dashboards with all the data on the frontend, built around records from Tampa, FL. I needed to take this and make it capable of handling much more data -- millions of records. I took on the task of building this using Django and D3. Along the way, I found a set of tools that worked for me.
