Michael #1: pyawaitable




  • CPython API for asynchronous functions.

  • by Peter Bierma

  • It was originally designed to be directly part of CPython - you can read the scrapped PEP about it.

  • Since this library only uses the public ABI, it's better fit outside of CPython, as a library.



Brian #2: Annotated area charts with plotnine




  • Nicola Rennie

  • This is a marvelous, very professional looking plot, and a tutorial for how to achieve it.

  • Uses plotline, which is “.. an implementation of a grammar of graphics in Python based on ggplot2”

    • I actually didn’t know the gg in ggplot came from “grammar of graphics”. TIL




Michael #3: DeltaDB




  • A lightweight, comprehensive solution for managing delta tables built on polars and deltalake.

  • Deltalake: Delta Lake is an open-source storage format that runs on top of existing data lakes.

  • Polars: Dataframes powered by a multithreaded, vectorized query engine, written in Rust (aka fluent, rust-based pandas)

  • See the docs.

Michael:





Joke: The Tao of Programming: 4.3



A master was explaining the nature of Tao of to one of his novices, "The Tao is embodied in all software -- regardless of how insignificant," said the master.



"Is the Tao in a hand-held calculator?" asked the novice.



"It is," came the reply.



"Is the Tao in a video game?" continued the novice.



"It is even in a video game," said the master.



"And is the Tao in the DOS for a personal computer?"



The master coughed and shifted his position slightly. "The lesson is over for today," he said.
