Import Python: Import Python Weekly Issue 112 - Python Programming Videos By MIT, mypy static type checker and more

Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python is intended for students with little or no programming experience. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems and to help students, regardless of their major, feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class uses the Python 3.5 programming language.

I think the mypy static type checker is a fantastic initiative, and absolutely love it. My one complaint is that it relies a little too much on subclassing for determining compatibility. This post discusses nominal vs. structural subtyping, duck typing and how it relates to structural subtyping, subtyping in mypy, and using abstract base classes in lieu of a structural subtyping system.

In this post, I show how Parquet can encode very large datasets in a small file footprint, and how we can achieve data throughput significantly exceeding disk IO bandwidth by exploiting parallelism (multithreading).

Inception, a model developed by Google is a deep CNN. Against the ImageNet dataset (a common dataset for measuring image recognition performance) it performed top-5 error 3.47%. In this tutorial, you’ll use the pre-trained Inception model to provide predictions on images uploaded to a web server.
