Selecting Inheritance or Composition in Python 46:02

לפני 12 ימים46:02

46:02

When considering an object-oriented programming problem, should you prefer inheritance or composition? Why wouldn’t it just be simpler to use functions? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. Christopher shares an article about structuring code using inheritance, composition, or only functions. We discuss how the piece is a good exploration of the trade-offs of each solution. Unlike the tutorials beginners typically encounter while learning the fundamentals, the article goes much deeper into the “why” of object-oriented programming. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, processing audio in Python, reasons why you shouldn’t call dunder methods, smuggling arbitrary data through an emoji, an HTML to markdown converter, and a library to convert Python requests into curl commands. Course Spotlight: Single and Double Underscore Naming Conventions in Python In this video course, you’ll learn a few Python naming conventions involving single and double underscores (_). You’ll learn how to use this character to differentiate between public and non-public names in APIs, write safe classes for subclassing purposes, avoid name clashes, and more. Topics: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:02:23 – Python 3.13.6 Released 00:02:47 – Django 5.2.5 Released 00:02:55 – Django REST Framework Release v3.16.1 00:03:09 – Narwhals v2.0.0 Released 00:03:22 – mypy 1.17 Released 00:03:42 – PEP 798: Unpacking in Comprehensions 00:04:11 – PEP 799: A Dedicated Profilers Package for Organizing Python Profiling Tools 00:06:12 – PyPI Users Email Phishing Attack 00:07:33 – Django in Action 00:08:00 – Call for proposals deadline - PyCon NL 00:08:59 – Python Audio Processing With pedalboard 00:18:49 – Smuggling Arbitrary Data Through an Emoji 00:21:53 – Don’t Call Dunder Methods 00:28:51 – Video Course Spotlight 00:30:27 – Inheritance Over Composition, Sometimes 00:40:03 – html-to-markdown: HTML to Markdown Converter 00:42:20 – curlify: A library to convert Python requests request object into curl commands 00:44:18 – transfunctions: Support Both Sync and Async 00:45:18 – Thanks and goodbye Survey: Listener Survey - Help Shape the Future of the Real Python Podcast News: Python 3.13.6 Released Django 5.2.5 Released Django REST Framework Release v3.16.1 Narwhals v2.0.0 Released Mypy 1.17 Released PEP 798: Unpacking in Comprehensions (Added) PEP 799: A Dedicated Profilers Package for Organizing Python Profiling Tools (Added) PyPI Users Email Phishing Attack – PyPI users are being targeted by an email phishing attack attempting to trick them into logging into a fake PyPI site. This post from the Security Engineer at PyPI discusses what’s happening and what you should do about it. There’s also a follow-up post . PyCon NL 2025 - Call for Papers Django in Action - Christopher Trudeau - Code ladjango40 Topics: Python Audio Processing With pedalboard – The pedalboard library for Python is aimed at audio processing of various sorts, from converting between formats to adding audio effects. This post summarizes a PyCon US talk on pedalboard and its uses. Smuggling Arbitrary Data Through an Emoji – Unicode includes flexibility through the use of variation selectors. These include the ability to change characters through a consecutive series of coding points. But, when used with code points that don’t need them, they’re ignored, so you can hide data in them. Don’t Call Dunder Methods – It’s best to avoid calling dunder methods. It’s common to define dunder methods, but uncommon to call them directly. Inheritance Over Composition, Sometimes – In an older post, Adrian wrote some code using inheritance. He got questions from his readers asking why it wouldn’t just be simpler to use functions. This post re-implements the code with inheritance, composition, and plain old functions, then compares the approaches.

Do the design patterns learned in other programming languages translate to coding in Python? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. Christopher dives into an article that tackles popular object-oriented design patterns from the famous Gang of Four book. These patterns offer solutions to common coding problems, but as Christopher explores, Python often doesn’t even have the problems these solutions try to fix. He discusses several common design patterns and the simpler, more Pythonic ways to achieve the same goals. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including an exceptionally robust news roundup, running coverage on tests, an exploration of expert generalists, a preview of template strings from Python 3.14, a quiz on f-strings, and a project that calculates the complexity of your Python code.

Solving Problems and Saving Time in Chemistry With Python 1:13:10

לפני 8 weeks1:13:10

1:13:10

What motivates someone to learn how to code as a scientist? How do you harness the excitement of solving problems quickly and make the connection to the benefits of coding in your scientific work? This week on the show, we speak with Ben Lear and Christopher Johnson about their book “Coding For Chemists.” Christopher is an associate professor of chemistry at Stony Brook University. Ben is a professor of chemistry at Penn State’s Eberly College of Science. They’re long-time friends who decided to collaborate on a book after discussing the challenges of teaching coding to chemistry students. The book targets chemists and other researchers who want to streamline common workflows with Python. It covers core Python concepts, data visualization, and data analysis topics by sharing common problems encountered in chemical research and presenting a complete Python-based solution for each problem. We discuss how they collaborated on the book and decided what libraries and tools to include. We cover how LLM tools have affected classroom teaching and require new techniques to reinforce learning. We also dig into what motivates students to learn how to code.

What goes into crafting an effective Python script? How do you organize your code, manage dependencies with PEP 723, and handle command-line arguments for the best results? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. We dig into a recent Real Python article about how to structure your Python scripts. It includes advice for adding inline script metadata as defined in PEP 723, which helps tools automatically create an environment and install dependencies when the script is run. The piece also covers choosing appropriate data structures, improving runtime feedback, and making your code more maintainable with constants and entry points. We discuss a collection of software trends happening behind the scenes of the constant LLM news. The piece starts with local-first software, prioritizing processing and storing private data on personal devices rather than relying on the cloud. The other trends include common themes and tools we’ve shared over the past few years, including WebAssembly, SQLite’s renaissance, and improvements to cross-platform mobile development. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, the state of free-threaded Python, tips for improving Django management commands, advice for time management as a manager, a data science-focused IDE, and a project to check for multiple patterns in a single string. Course Spotlight: SQLite and SQLAlchemy in Python: Move Your Data Beyond Flat Files In this video course, you’ll learn how to store and retrieve data using Python, SQLite, SQLAlchemy, and flat files.

Once you’ve learned the vocabulary and syntax of the Python language, how do you progress into learning the right combinations to put into your code? How can Python’s built-in itertools library enhance your skills? This week on the show, we speak with Rodrigo Girão Serrão about teaching Python through his blog and his passion for the itertools library. We discuss Rodrigo’s different approaches to writing on his blog. He likes to document smaller concepts about Python and building code in his “Today I Learned” series. He’s also been collecting advice about the best way to use core Python features in another series called “Pydon’ts.” We cover his recent PyCon US tutorial about the built-in itertools module. The functions contained in the module create iterators for efficient looping. We discuss the categories of tools inside the collection and ways to simplify your code. We also explore the concept of vocabulary versus idioms in writing. Idioms are a group of words that hold a symbolic meaning that goes beyond the literal meaning of the individual words. We dig into how that applies to learning Python and building a personal collection of programming idioms. This episode is sponsored by AMD. Course Spotlight: Working With Missing Data in Polars In this video course, you’ll learn how to deal with missing data in Polars to ensure it doesn’t interfere with your data analysis.

What are the ways you can manage multithreaded code in Python? What synchronization techniques are available within Python’s threading module? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. Christopher discusses his recent Real Python video course about thread safety. The course provides a quick overview of race conditions and how to use locks in your code. It then goes on to share a collection of additional synchronization primitives to make your code thread-safe. We dig into a tutorial by Leodanis Pozo Ramos about managing Python projects with uv. The tutorial shows you how to quickly initialize a project, build the directory structure, add dependencies, and publish your package while practicing the commands inside uv. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, unraveling t-strings, what’s new in pip 25.1, an SVG-first plotting library, and a data modeling tool built on top of Polars and Pydantic. Course Spotlight: Thread Safety in Python: Locks and Other Techniques In this video course, you’ll learn about the issues that can occur when your code is run in a multithreaded environment.

Going Beyond requirements.txt With pylock.toml and PEP 751 1:31:46

לפני 15 weeks1:31:46

1:31:46

What is the best way to record the Python dependencies for the reproducibility of your projects? What advantages will lock files provide for those projects? This week on the show, we welcome back Python Core Developer Brett Cannon to discuss his journey to bring PEP 751 and the pylock.toml file format to the community. Brett has been working on a way to move beyond the requirements.txt file for over six years. He was on the show previously to discuss his work on PEP 665, which was rejected. He decided to continue to push forward, authoring PEP 751 last year, which was accepted at the end of March this year. The PEP calls for a new file format to record your project’s dependencies. The goal was to have a standardized immutable record for what should be installed to reproduce your project in a virtual environment. He discusses working with other packaging projects and the compromises involved in creating a standard. Course Spotlight: Using the Python subprocess Module In this video course, you’ll learn how to use Python’s subprocess module to run and control external programs from your scripts. You’ll start with launching basic processes and progress to interacting with them as they execute.

Are you looking for some projects where you can practice your Python skills? Would you like to experiment with building a generative AI app or an automated knowledge graph sentiment analysis tool? This week on the show, we speak with Raymond Camden about his journey into Python, his work in developer relations, and the Python projects featured on his blog. Raymond is a developer evangelist and advocate who works with APIs, AI, and the web. He’s been expanding his developer knowledge by learning Python and documenting his journey through his blog and with the live-streaming show Code Break. We discuss a couple of his recent Python projects. The first is building a resume review and revision system with generative AI and Flask. The other project uses Diffbot’s knowledge graph and Pipedream’s workflow tools to create an automated sentiment analysis tool. This episode is sponsored by AMD. Course Spotlight: What Can You Do With Python? In this video course, you’ll find a set of guidelines that will help you start applying your Python skills to solve real-world problems. By the end, you’ll be able to answer the question, “What can you do with Python?” Topics: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:03:15 – Programming background and learning Python 00:07:59 – What’s been hard about learning a new language? 00:09:26 – Learning pip, managing packages, and suggesting uv 00:12:26 – Developer relations and sharing knowledge 00:14:40 – Sponsor: AMD - AIatAMD 00:15:17 – Moving things from Code Break to the blog 00:17:27 – Building a resume review and revise system with Gen AI 00:31:58 – Video Course Spotlight 00:33:16 – Adding the revision step 00:35:59 – Exploring code assistance 00:38:52 – Changing into the developer relations role 00:41:40 – Using Diffbot and Pipedream for sentiment analysis project 00:48:06 – Pipedream workflow with Python scripts 00:53:28 – What are you excited about in the world of Python? 00:55:45 – What do you want to learn next? 00:57:45 – How can people follow your work online? 00:58:03 – Thanks and goodbye Show Links: Raymond Camden Code Break - CFE.dev Exploring AI with Gemini and Transformers.js - CFE.dev Building a Resume Review and Revise System with Generative AI and Flask Flask Quickstart - Flask Documentation Get a Gemini API key - Google AI for Developers Automating and Responding to Sentiment Analysis with Diffbot’s Knowledge Graph Diffbot - Knowledge Graph, AI Web Data Extraction and Crawling Python Posts - Raymond Camden (27 Posts) Pipedream - Connect APIs, AI, databases, and more Geolocating a Folder of Images with Python Mastering Google Fu: An Expert’s Guide To Advanced Search Techniques uv - Astral Managing Python Projects With uv: An All-in-One Solution – Real Python Episode #238: Charlie Marsh: Accelerating Python Tooling With Ruff and uv – The Real Python Podcast marimo - A next-generation Python notebook Episode #230: marimo: Reactive Notebooks and Deployable Web Apps in Python Drumeo - Reach your drumming goals Jess Bowen Hears Rage Against The Machine For The First Time - YouTube REAL ID - Homeland Security PyCon US 2025 Raymond Camden - LinkedIn Raymond Camden (@raymondcamden@mastodon.social) - Mastodon Level up your Python skills with our expert-led courses: Creating a Scalable Flask Web Application From Scratch Python Basics: Installing Packages With pip What Can You Do With Python?
