Python

Let’s cover a few more advanced aspects of the Python exception system. We’ll move a bit faster and talk at a higher level than we did in the last post.

Errors flow differently than regular data; if not “handled”, they rise up through the entire function stack and crash the program…. What exactly needs to be done in that “handling” step typically depends on what went wrong, and so there are many types of errors.

I went to PyCon a few weeks ago and while there, saw Peter Wang’s keynote on a new project called PyScript. I think that’s going to have a significant impact on the Python world, though maybe not in the way you’d first expect.

I recently crossed the 9-month mark as a Chicago resident. The time has come for a big decision: renew my lease, or make the move to a new apartment?

For a while now, I’ve been thinking about how interesting it would be to look at data on my running habits.

My colleague Brad Boehmke and I made a guest appearance on the Talk Python to Me podcast to talk about the challenges of supporting a large data science department that uses both R and Python. You can listen to the episode on any podcast player.
