python -m pip install sciform

You can wrestle with scientific-formatting yourself, or you can use the sciform package from Justin Gerber!

sciform is used to convert python numbers into strings according to a variety of user-selected scientific formatting options including decimal, binary, fixed-point, scientific and engineering formats, using documented standards wherever possible!

🐍 aprxc — A #Python #CLI tool to approximate the number of distinct values in a file/iterable using the (easy to understand) Chakraborty/Vinodchandran/Meel #algorithm¹.

:codeberg: https://codeberg.org/fa81/ApproxyCount

Vs. sort | uniq -c | wc -l: needs slightly more memory, but 5x faster.

Vs. awk '!a[$0]++' | wc -l: just as fast, using much less memory (20x-150x for large inputs).

At the cost of ~1% inaccuracy (configurable).

Useful? You decide! :)

🐍 I read all of the #Python standard library documentation. Should you do that? Here's what I learned by taking that journey. https://www.mattlayman.com/blog/2016/readthrough-python-standard-library/

My talk for Posette this year will be about "pgvector for Python developers" - two of my current fav things. The conf is virtual and free, so join us on June 12th!

I wrote a little custom terminal toggle for #neovim in #fennel: https://github.com/mmisamore/neovim-config/blob/c74c848d2abdb348687f850bb6fc7591d4da7c52/init.fnl#L151

Works well enough with ipython with autoindent disabled. Posting in case anybody finds it helpful as an alternative to fancy plugins.

My talk from VS Code Day is now live!

"Building a RAG-powered AI chat app with Python and VS Code"

I showed how to do RAG on a local PostgreSQL database, both with Ollama and OpenAI models.

TIL: Need a turnkey terminal progress indicator for anything that is iterable in #python? I discovered https://tqdm.github.io is perfect for that job

(1/4) TIL about the plotnine library- the grammar of graphics in Python 🚀

I had never heard about the Plotnine library until I came across the Posit Plotnine contest (see the link below). The plotnine is a Python implementation of a grammar of graphics based on the ggplot2 library.

Tip: you can create an entry point to your #Python package by adding a main.py module to it.

This makes it callable using: python -m my_package.

Example:

martinpeck, 5 hours ago to python

A lot of of #python people on social media such as LinkedIn will post "What do you think this python code will do? A, B, or C" questions.

Are these useful to anyone?

The code is generally of a style I'd recommend people avoid writing, or that I'd question in a code review. Often it's using strange edge-cases for what's possible...but not what's idiomatic or "good".

I can't imagine they're useful to people learning #python. I imagine they deter some people from using #python. Am I wrong?

To those who follow this account for #Covid rants and politely tolerate my posts about the wonderful and elegant #Python programming language I’ve used almost daily for over a decade: The #pycon2024 conference required masks because they apparently haven’t stopped caring about the people behind the keyboards.

Yes, masks. In 2024. At a tech conference. It’s a beautiful thing.

On the other hand, adding or removing items from the beginning of a list is very slow (it requires shifting all items after the change).
