How to make annoy any interviewer with the fizzbuzz challenge

I was bored so I decided to solve the fizzbuzz in an obnoxious way. Hope you enjoy (: `output = ["fizzbuzz", "buzz", "fizz"]` `iterList = lambda x: [x%i for i in [15, 5, 3]]` `fizzBuzz = [output[iterList(x).index(0)] if 0 in iterList(x) else x for x in range(1, 101)]` `print(fizzBuzz)` `[1, 2, 'fizz', 4, 'buzz', 'fizz', 7, 8, 'fizz', 'buzz', 11, 'fizz', 13, 14, 'fizzbuzz', 16, 17, 'fizz', 19, 'buzz', 'fizz', 22, 23, 'fizz', 'buzz', 26, 'fizz', 28, 29, 'fizzbuzz', 31, 32, 'fizz', 34, 'buzz', 'fizz', 37, 38, 'fizz', 'buzz', 41, 'fizz', 43, 44, 'fizzbuzz', 46, 47, 'fizz', 49, 'buzz', 'fizz', 52, 53, 'fizz', 'buzz', 56, 'fizz', 58, 59, 'fizzbuzz', 61, 62, 'fizz', 64, 'buzz', 'fizz', 67, 68, 'fizz', 'buzz', 71, 'fizz', 73, 74, 'fizzbuzz', 76, 77, 'fizz', 79, 'buzz', 'fizz', 82, 83, 'fizz', 'buzz', 86, 'fizz', 88, 89, 'fizzbuzz', 91, 92, 'fizz', 94, 'buzz', 'fizz', 97, 98, 'fizz', 'buzz']` Edit: yes I know the title is messed

Recover deleted and overwritten files with RecoverPy 1.5.0

​ https://i.redd.it/qg7rwesb1vt81.gif Hi! I recently release RecoverPy v1.5.0 and I think I might give you some news. **-> Repo:** [https://github.com/PabloLec/RecoverPy](https://github.com/PabloLec/RecoverPy) # What is it? RecoverPy is a 100% Python tool to not only recover deleted but also overwritten files. I got the idea when I was quite new to some programming best practices, especially version control... Long story short, I accidentally piped my output into my precious script... Just spent the day working on something and instead of typing myscript > log, I typed log > myscript, oh boy what a feeling. I knew some tools to recover deleted files, but my problem was quite different, I didn't deleted the file (in system words, marked the file blocks as deleted/available), I just replaced it's content. Talk about an impostor syndrome. After a long ride in the abysses of unix stackexchange, I found some dark combination of grep and dd command to search directly in your raw system partitions blocks and eventually recovered my file! But as the process was really slow and painful, I thought it might be a good idea to make a tool out of it. That's how RecoverPy was born. # 1.5.0 Since then, the tool has had quite some success. Especially in the hacker community (wasn't the initial intent but still). It even appeared in hakin9 magazine. Last releases have been quite stable, lastly I mostly added QoL updates and better binary file search handling. Feel free to have a look and tell me what you think of it! It's my biggest personal project and I'm beginning to be quite proud of my baby :)

TL;DR: Dictionary Comprehension + Early\Late Binding of Lambdas in Python is Mental

Hello, I found a behaviour I couldn't explain when using lambdas in a dictionary comprehension so I decided to post a little Intermediate Showcase to inform you about my struggles and give you a solution, in the end (no spoilers) I like to minify python code in my spare time to relax and it often takes some iterations for each different function or class, alongside those iterations I was golfing a function in a progress bar script I wrote a very long time ago, this is the brief description of what the function should have done: `The function has to take a list of n elements and color them green, yellow or red according to a given condition.` This was the last *functioning* function in the process of being golfed: def paint(total, done, elements): color_str = lambda x, y: f'{x}{y}\033[00m' colors = {'r' : lambda x: color_str('\033[91m',x), 'g' : lambda x: color_str('\033[92m',x), 'y': lambda x: color_str('\033[93m',x) }['g' if total == done else 'y' if total/2 <= done else 'r'] return [*map(colors,elements)] I thought, that's easy, this has to be equivalent to this golfed function: def paint(total, done, elements): return [*map({'rgy'[i]:lambda x:f'\033[9{i+1}m{x}\033[00m' for i in range(len('rgy')) }['g' if total == done else 'y' if done <= total/2 else 'r'],elements)] *Until it's not*, in fact, while the first function outputs a correct response, the last one is **somehow** stuck on the color yellow, so I thought the dictionary comprehension wasn't working properly and thus I tried: dict_comp = {'rgy'[i]:lambda x:f'\033[9{i+1}m{x}\033[00m' for i in range(len('rgy'))} print(dict_comp) This prompted what I thought it would prompt, a dictionary with `r`,`g` and `y` as keys and a list of lambdas in different memory locations `{'r': <function <dictcomp>.<lambda> at 0x0000018D3E986200>, 'g': <function <dictcomp>.<lambda> at 0x0000018D3E9860E0>, 'y': <function <dictcomp>.<lambda> at 0x0000018D3E986050>}` so I tried to print all the key and lambda pairs with a test for each lambda: for key, lmbd in dict_comp.items(): print(key, lmbd(f'Testing {key}')) This was the output: [Horrific Minion-Colored Results](https://preview.redd.it/o216rv5pjrt81.png?width=139&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb4882d1c3114792c06656ac59204a08f297a790) I decided to remove the slash to check the text value of the lambda and the correct progression of `i` and this why I noticed the problem: each lambda stored the last value of `i`! dict_comp = {'rgy'[i]:lambda x:f'033[9{i+1}m{x}\033[00m' for i in range(len('rgy'))} for key, lmbd in dict_comp.items(): print(key, lmbd(f'Testing {key}')) >> r 033[93mTesting r # the value after the square bracket is 93 (it's supposed to be 91) >> g 033[93mTesting g # the value after the square bracket is 93 (it's supposed to be 92) >> y 033[93mTesting y # the value after the square bracket is 93 Here's the whole code in order to try both functions: from time import sleep def paint(total, done, elements): color_str = lambda x, y: f'{x}{y}\033[00m' colors = {'r' : lambda x: color_str('\033[91m',x), 'g' : lambda x: color_str('\033[92m',x), 'y': lambda x: color_str('\033[93m',x) }['g' if total == done else 'y' if total/2 <= done else 'r'] return [*map(colors,elements)] # UNCOMMENT THIS IN ORDER TO TEST THE FUNCTION DOWN BELOW """ def paint(total, done, elements): return [*map({'rgy'[i]:lambda x:f'\033[9{i+1}m{x}\033[00m' for i in range(len('rgy')) }['g' if total == done else 'y' if done <= total/2 else 'r'],elements)] """ def CustomProgressBar(task, completeness) -> None: size = 100 // 5 empty = size - completeness//5 fill = size - empty percent = f'{completeness:>3}% ' filler = f'{"═"*fill}' isComplete = fill==size progress_bar, percent = paint(size,fill, [filler, percent]) progress_bar+=f'{"─"*empty}' print(f'\r{task:<25}{percent}{progress_bar}', end='\n' if isComplete else '') for i in range(101): sleep(0.05) CustomProgressBar('Range 0-100', i) I then asked myself: >Why does this happen? Isn't each anonymous function different? After some scavenger hunt in StackOverFlow (thanks you Stack for the duplicate question tootip) I found out that the issue might be in [late binding in functions and lambdas in particular](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3431676/creating-functions-in-a-loop), so the answer, apparently, is that even if the functions are stored in a different memory location as part of the dictionary, the lambda function captures the ***NAME*** of the variable, not the ***VALUE*** of the variable and assigns the value after the dict comprehension is called, so each value becomes the last value in the loop, as the friendliest guy on StackOverFlow explains [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70862614/how-does-python-dict-comprehension-work-with-lambda-functions-inside). And so, the solution was there, after several hours of head scratches and articles about early and late bind and (anonymous) functions in loop variables inside loops, I had to tie (or late-bind, if you will) the value name of the variable in the lambda function to the value of the variable in the loop. This means I had to create another value in the lambda and that the value HAS to be the last in the lambda function because it will be created as a keyword argument and lambdas respect the rule of \*args first, \*\*kwargs last. So, the solution was finally here: def paint(total, done, elements): return [*map({'rgy'[i]:lambda x, y=i+1:f'\033[9{y}m{x}\033[00m'for i in range(len('rgy'))}['g' if total == done else 'y' if done >= total/2 else 'r'],elements)] If you have any question, you find this interesting, you have any feedback, you want to talk about Python or you just want to send me death threats because I wrote a long-ass post about lambdas and how they work in loops, HMU or comment down below. Have fun, and happy easter: [Easter Bunny](https://preview.redd.it/c2qo8krnmrt81.png?width=564&format=png&auto=webp&s=354dfac6c9adada4c4e5a57d531b073aa4967968)

FireDM is a python open source (Internet Download Manager) with multi-connections, high speed engine, it downloads general files and videos from youtube and tons of other streaming websites . Yesterday I tried to go to the GitHub page to download the latest release but the repo returns a 404 which means it does not exist. The pypi package still exists and here's the link: https://pypi.org/project/FireDM/ The project page clearly shows that the repository is inaccessible.No forks of it even exist on Github. I can't seem to find any news or complaints anywhere on the internet about this so I was wondering is there some announcement I missed? And to my last question, is there a way we can save the project through pypi and create forks of it? Edit : my package manager still has a copy(Manjaro and AUR)

Good GUI builder for Python similar to Java’s Eclipse Windowbuilder

Hi guys! I’m a Java developer migrating to Python, and I’m trying to find a good GUI builder that is similar to Java’s Eclipse windowbuilder. I have tried PyQy5 and it’s Qt Designer which is very good and very close to windowbuilder in terms of interface, but the only problem is that the Qt Designer doesn’t work dynamically with the IDE like the windowbuilder: all Qt Designer’s ui file need to be translated manually to py file and then modified. This is really bad for efficiency since everything added and modified in the Qt Designer need to be saved and translated again and manually copied from the new py file to the main py file, and all objects’ code’s locations need to be manually located (Unlike in windowbuider where you double click the object in the builder and you will be automatically redirected to the related code) Since Python is such a popular language and so many people use it to develop complicated GUI softwares, I guess there has to be a GUI builder that is more efficient and similar to Java’s windowbuilder

Collection(s) of counter-intuitive Python behaviour

This is kind of a shot in the blue: Some time ago I found a (GitHub?) repo that collected unexpected/surprising Python behaviour. Ofc this depends on ones knowledge but it is stuff that is counter-intuitive if you don't know it or the internals. The first example was [internal caching of -5...256](https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/18leav/python_integer_range_5_256_and_identity_comparison/) and all the consequences of that (ids, is), … If you don't know that particular repo, do you know similar behaviour? I found this [Python oddities talk](https://treyhunner.com/python-oddities/) but that wasn't it. Secondary question: What would be a good source for this (edit: finding oddities/inconsistencies)? I enjoyed to learn what's new by reading the release notes <3. I found looking/searching through [bugs.python.org](https://bugs.python.org/) quite interesting, because you can follow a discussion about aspectes of the language properties/behaviour, same idea why I skimmed PEPs and their discussion. However, there is always something one does not know and I want to learn all of that. For that reason I am keeping a file in which I document parts of the language that I am not that used to, and then I mostly play around with `ptpython` and try stuff which I try to use later on if it seems like a good fit. I guess well fitting flairs are discussion, help, resource, … but since I can't really decide I am choosing help. after all I want help to find a resource which could provide material for a discussion.

Non developer code review

Hello, I am not a developer and barely work with software for my job but have been self taught ever since reading "Automate the boring stuff with python" four years ago. One of the biggest issues that I run into by being self taught and not working with software is I am never really certain if I am doing things correctly or if there are better ways. I have found a bunch of people on fiver to do code reviews but as I don't have a complete project, I'm not sure if that is the best path to take for a code review. For the most part I believe I am past the point of having to following tutorials, but not far enough to really make a full project from start to finish. To summaries my questions: 1. What are the best places/communities for non developer code review? 2. What are the best places/ways to learn how to construct a project from start to finish?

I am a fan of having privacy and try to leave as minimal of a digital footprint when possible and have been wondering since I started using SpeechRecognition about the data collection. I'd like to avoid having to deploy my own NLP, TTS, and STT models if I can to achieve privacy for the project I am working on that involves this stuff.

Ready-Made Mobile App UI for Serverless Python

I made a tool for myself to wrap Python code in a mobile app (chat interface) so that I can let my non-technical friends try any programs I write. Curious if you guys would be interested too. I like coding in Python, but I didn't like how my non-technical friends and family couldn't try my python apps. So I made a lightweight frontend for iOS and Android using Flutter and a lightweight web app to fill in a serverless Python function. This is how it works: 1. User uses the mobile app to send a message. Optionally with an attachment, like an image. This message is sent to serverless function as a JSON object. 2. Serverless function starter code is just print(msg) and return empty\_message. But when I want to write an app, I do some operations on msg, and return a JSON in a certain schema. 3. Mobile app gets the JSON back from serverless, and I render it to user according to the JSON schema. I thought I'd try a bunch of consumer app ideas, but I actually ended up mostly making a bunch of other tools for myself. Like when I send a hard-coded message like "redis flushall", I make the backend flush redis cache for another app that I made. I'm not really utilizing my own tool well, so I'm curious whether anyone here would be interested in using it to make some consumer tools. I can't publicly open it, cuz I made it for myself and there's no robust authentication to prevent people from running spam code on the serverless infra. But I'd love to send link and placeholder auth to some people if you are interested and leave a comment! (Would love to know what kind of apps you'd build!). If a lot of people are interested, I'll work on protecting it behind some auth, or let people pay for their own compute cost (for example, log in to their AWS; and automatically set up a VM to run the python code you write using my web IDE)!

Financial portfolio optimization for scikit-learn enthusiasts

Scikit-portfolio is a Python package designed to introduce **data scientists and machine learning engineers** to the problem of **optimal portfolio allocation in finance**. The main idea of scikit-portfolio is to provide many well-known portfolio optimization methods with an easily accessible **scikit-learn inspired** set of API. You can optimize your portfolio starting from a pandas Dataframe with the prices or returns and simply compute the MinVol vanilla portfolio to get the optimal weights as: `MinimumVolatility().fit(prices).weights_` When your portfolio optimization method depends on a number of hyperparameters you can simply perform a `GridSearchCV` as in machine-learning algorithms, and present the grid of hyperparameters, which for most methods are already encoded in the class. ``` prices_train, prices_test = train_test_split(prices, test_size=0.3, shuffle=False) ptf_model = MaxSharpe() best_model = GridSearchCV( estimator=ptf_model, param_grid=ptf_model.grid_parameters(), cv=KFold(5), scoring=sharpe_ratio_scorer ).fit(prices_train) ``` It implements Omega Ratio and MAD efficient frontier as well as a number of portfolio hyperparameters search methods for the optimization in backtesting settings, using the same methods as in classical machine-learning model selection method. Additionally, I've implemented ensemble portfolios, like the **Michaud Resampled Efficient Frontier** that builds an optimal portfolio based on the average of many efficient frontiers based on random perturbations of the expected returns. We not only support the classical MeanVariance efficient frontier, but many kind of efficient frontiers, with different definitions of risk and satisfaction. This is for example how you build an ensemble of estimators of the maximum Sharpe ratio portfolio: ``` prices = load_tech_stock_prices() # create a Maximum sharpe ratio portfolio estimator to be fed to resampled frontier meta-estimator ptf = MaxSharpe( returns_data=False, risk_free_rate=0.0, frequency=252, rets_estimator=MeanHistoricalLinearReturns() ) ensemble = MichaudResampledFrontier( ptf_estimator=ptf, rets_estimator=MeanHistoricalLinearReturns(), risk_estimator=SampleCovariance(), n_iter=512, n_jobs=-1 ).fit(prices) ``` **Documentation** [https://scikit-portfolio.github.io/scikit-portfolio/](https://scikit-portfolio.github.io/scikit-portfolio/) **Source code** [https://github.com/scikit-portfolio/scikit-portfolio](https://github.com/scikit-portfolio/scikit-portfolio) The project requires some help in the documentation, while it is already pretty stable in the API and bugfix.

Parts of the Standard Library that are considered to be bad practice / un-Pythonic ?

I had an argument today about the using the `_empty` object from the `inspect` module to denote an item not found in a lookup, rather than just returning None (as None could well be a value in our data), or erroring (as too many try/excepts make code more difficult to read, and failing to find something in our system is not actually an error anyway). Aside from the idea of using a private attribute of another module, the other person says it's "not Pythonic" to use smaller custom types like this, as it's too close to something like `typedef` in c++ (never mind that Python has `namedtuple` for almost the exact same purpose anyway, but I digress). I argued that it's a ready-made and easily legible solution to the problem, and regardless, if it's good enough for the standard library then it should be good enough for us. While I think I'm right in this case, I know the last point is a very dogmatic way of looking at things. It got me thinking - are there any notable parts of the language's standard modules, that would be considered a poor or incorrect use of the language if you were to use them in production?

GUI, CLI and library for remote controlling Philips Android TVs

Some time ago I was trying to find out if there's a way to programmatically control my TV's Ambilight feature. It turns out Philips Android-powered TVs have a pretty extensive API and there's no decent library or program to make use of it! I found this state of affairs unacceptable and decided to be the change I want to see in the world. Then I proceeded to create a library, CLI, and finally GUI utilizing this API: * [PhilipsTV GUI](https://github.com/bcyran/philipstv-gui) \- a GUI, obviously * [philipstv](https://github.com/bcyran/philipstv) \- CLI and a lib The features include emulating pressing TV remote keys, listing and changing channels and applications, and of course controlling Ambilight. [All of PhilipsTV GUI functionality in one image](https://preview.redd.it/vkp8gfnkzit81.png?width=1241&format=png&auto=webp&s=14a40b658da14951ad22c1e59e07ec98074547b4) It would be pretty cool if someone found that useful because I spent quite a lot of time on this and actually... I don't even need this.

Chances of getting a job for smb. learned python at home

Hey folks! I hope it’s the place that I can post this question. Let me give you a brief info about my background. I’ve studied economics and worked in international sales. After my gf got a job from a Swedish company we decided to move there. We will be there by August if everything went as we want. So I was thinking of learning software to change my career path. During pandemic I learnt SQL but than didn’t develop myself. So now I started with python which I think easier than many languages. But what I am wondering is if I can get a job or not. I know that it depends on what and how much I learnt and etc. but what you guys think or recommend? Honestly speaking, I think I can get a job as an intern or a junior. Especially after Covid the demand for developers increased rapidly. So I am not pessimistic about this idea. After python I am planning to learn JavaScript too. Anyway.

The fastest tool for querying large JSON files is written in Python! (benchmark)

[spyql](https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql) is a tool (and python lib) for querying and transforming data. It is fully written in Python. In the [latest benchmark](https://colab.research.google.com/github/dcmoura/spyql/blob/master/notebooks/json_benchmark.ipynb), spyql outperformed all other tools, including jq, one of the most popular tools written in C. Here is one example extracted from the benchmark that shows spyql achieving the lowest processing time while keeping memory requirements low when the dataset size is >= 100MB. ​ [Processing time and memory requirements vs size of input JSON data](https://preview.redd.it/ejgy2k0gwbt81.png?width=1315&format=png&auto=webp&s=782958571e0a5a7309484011fbc0d7c1c9da5015) IMO, these results might questions some preconceived opinions about Python’s performance and interpreted languages in general. The benchmark is very easy to reproduce without installing any software since it runs on a [google colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/dcmoura/spyql/blob/master/notebooks/json_benchmark.ipynb). Happy to hear your thoughts! **UPDATE 2022/04/22** Thank you all for your feedback. The benchmark was updated and the fastest tool is **NOT** written in Python. Here are the highlights: * Added ClickHouse (written in C++) to the benchmark: I was unaware that the clickhouse-local tool would handle these tasks. ClickHouse is now the fastest (together with OctoSQL); * OctoSQL (written in Go) was updated as a response to the benchmark: updates included switching to fastjson, short-circuiting LIMIT, and eagerly printing when outputting JSON and CSV. Now, OctoSQL is one of the fastest and memory is stable; * SPyQL (written in Python) is now third: SPyQL leverages orjson (Rust) to parse JSONs, while the query engine is written in Python. When processing 1GB of input data, SPyQL takes 4x-5x more time than the best, while still achieving up to 2x higher performance than jq (written in C); * I removed Pandas from the benchmark and focused on command-line tools. I am planning a separate benchmark on Python libs where Pandas, Polars and Modin (and eventually others) will be included. This benchmark is a living document. If you are interested in receiving updates, please subscribe to the following issue: [https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql/issues/72](https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql/issues/72) Thank you!

Ohio State University Researchers Develop SAT2LoD2: An Open-Source Python Tool For 3D Landscape Modelling Using Satelite Imagery

3D landscape modeling has seen a rise in its popularity and applications in recent years. It has countless applications in the fields of civil engineering, earth sciences, military applications, and many others. Geometric 3D models are typically developed using the city geography markup language (CityGML), and the Level-of-Detail (LoD) building model is the preferred model for building 3D models using CityGML.  The use of Satellite imagery for landscape modeling provides the advantage of covering a wide area and is low cost. However, developing LoD2 models using satellite imagery remains a big challenge. Building models in such a way involves complex steps demanding heuristics-based approaches and ML-based detection paradigms. In a recent paper, researchers at the Ohio State University propose a [SAT2LoD2 ](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.04139v1.pdf)to facilitate the development of 3D landscape models. SAT2LoD2 is an open-source, python-based GUI-enabled software that takes the satellite images as inputs and returns LoD2 building models as outputs. The software also has the feature of taking road networks and custom maps as additional inputs for better results.

A python framework for unstructured data processing

Unstructured data is information that is not arranged according to a predefined schema or data model. Image, text, video, and nested JSON are the most common types of unstructured data we collected in real-world applications. We have just released [Towhee 0.6](https://github.com/towhee-io/towhee), a framework for doing ML jobs over unstructured data. Our latest release includes [`DataCollection`](https://towhee.readthedocs.io/en/branch0.6/data_collection/get_started.html), a new user-centric method-chaining API that enables rapid development and prototyping of unstructured data applications. `DataCollection` is designed to behave as a python list or generator, with some enhancement features such as `method-chaining coding style`, `parallel execution`, and `exception handling`. Here is a short example of image animation: ```python import towhee towhee.glob['path']('./test.png') \ .image_decode['path', 'origin']() \ .img2img_translation.animegan['origin', 'facepaintv2'](model_name = 'facepaintv2') \ .img2img_translation.animegan['origin', 'hayao'](model_name = 'hayao') \ .img2img_translation.animegan['origin', 'paprika'](model_name = 'paprika') \ .img2img_translation.animegan['origin', 'shinkai'](model_name = 'shinkai') \ .select['origin', 'facepaintv2', 'hayao', 'paprika', 'shinkai']() \ .show() ``` [`image_decode`](https://towhee.io/image-decode/cv2) and [`img2img_translation.animegan`](https://towhee.io/img2img-translation/animegan) are predefined `operator`s from [towhee hub](https://towhee.io). We already have nearly a hundred operators, officially maintained or contributed by our users. You can check the result from [the tutorial](https://github.com/towhee-io/towhee/blob/main/tutorials/anime_style_transformer.ipynb). Documentation for DataCollection is available [here](https://towhee.readthedocs.io/en/branch0.6/data_collection/get_started.html). We will be releasing code examples and tutorials using the new API in the upcoming weeks. Would appreciate some feedback and contribution :)

Do people generally write Sphinx API documentation using autoapi or manually?

(this might not be the best subreddit, but I didn't see a Sphinx subreddit, if there's a better place, let me know) I'm working on writing my first distributable python package and I'm trying to be very meticulous about the documentation, making a readthedocs page for it. I'm very new to using Sphinx, and I'm confused on the landscape of projects that have autogenerated API documentation vs. those that involve manually written documentation. I have been able to get the `autoapi` extension to work, but the documentation it generates feels very boilerplate, and I want to go in and reformat some of the stuff it does, which I think it's possible to essentially "convert" a project from auto to manual. So maybe I should autogenerate it at first and then convert it for later changes. I have some concerns about that approach though. 1. What if I add more stuff to the API later, or update the way certain functions work? Would I just need to do those small changes by hand? I feel like if I reverted to the autogeneration it would overwrite my manual changes (maybe I'm wrong though). 2. I actually prefer to code at the same time that I am documenting, so that the documentation is not an afterthought, but in that case I would want to do the manual changes at the same time as when I code, so maybe autogeneration is a bad idea for me. But this particular project is collaborative and I think I'm probably the only one in my group who *enjoys* the documentation, so I want to be sure it's super easy for future collaborators. Any thoughts at all would be greatly appreciated! I seem to be unable to find answers to a general best practices question like this

[Quart-DB](https://github.com/pgjones/quart-db) is a Quart extension that provides managed connection(s) to postgresql database(s). Once initialised it will, by default, add a connection on `g` for every request usable via `g.connection`. Alternatively connections (and transactions) can be managed directly and explicitly. The queries can be constructed using named `:name` parameters or `$1` positional parameters. Quart-DB uses [asyncpg](https://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg) to manage the connections and [buildpg](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/buildpg) to parse the named parameter bindings. from quart import g, Quart, websocket from quart_db import QuartDB app = Quart(__name__) db = QuartDB(app, url="postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/db_name") @app.get("/<int:id>") async def get_count(id: int): result = await g.connection.fetch_val( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tbl WHERE id = :id", {"id": id}, ) return {"count": result} @app.post("/") async def set_with_transaction(): async with g.connection.transaction(): await db.execute("UPDATE tbl SET done = $1", [True]) ... return {} @app.get("/explicit") async def explicit_usage(): async with db.connection() as connection: ...

Scraping Google Finance Ticker in Python

While programming is kinda easier than a stock market, you can do things programmatically, for example scraping Google Finance Ticker data in Python. Here's a working example to do exactly that, plus basic usage of Nasdaq API which Google is using, among [other data providers which Google Finance uses that you can find under Google's Disclaimer](https://www.google.com/intl/en_UA/googlefinance/disclaimer/).

Gufo Ping - The Python asyncio Ping library

[Gufo Ping](https://pypi.org/project/gufo-ping/) is the Python asyncio Ping library. Besides the clean and simple interface is the highly-efficient raw sockets manipulation library implemented in the [Rust](https://rust-lang.org/) language with [PyO3](https://pyo3.rs/) wrapper. Pinging is simple: Send one echo request and await for reply: ping = Ping() rtt = await ping.ping("127.0.0.1") Send a series of requests and await replies: ping = Ping() async for rtt in ping.iter_rtt("127.0.0.1", count=5): print(rtt) Gufo Ping is fast, allowing to monitor 100 000+ hosts at once. Gufo Ping is the part of the [Gufo Stack](https://gufolabs.com/products/gufo-stack/) - the battle-proven technologies which drive the [NOC](https://getnoc.com/)

Porting from Windows to Linux: Python vs. Powershell?

From a search, it looks like this question comes up every couple of months and, like everything else in IT, the answer is "It depends." So, here are my depends... TL;DR - My shop is running database servers on Windows with maintenance and health check scripts written in DOS .BAT files. The company plans to migrate to cloud servers running Linux using the same database software (DB2 LUW). I want to update our scripts to a new scripting language prior to migrating and port to the new platforms when the time comes. In terms of porting between platforms, and getting a team of DBAs used to a new scripting language, would you go with Python or Powershell? Python seems easier to learn and implement, but I think PS might port better. Your thoughts? --- My shop is running database servers on Windows (not SQL Server) with the intent to migrate to cloud servers running Linux at some point in the future yet to be determined. Our database maintenance scripts are DOS .BAT files. That alone is reason enough to rewrite in a better language and, while we're at, we'll build in intelligence, restartability, health checks, logging. Not a lot of activity from the scripts themselves as they mostly run utilities and not many will run in a day or at once. My plan is to convert the DOS .BAT files to PS now and port to Linux when/if we migrate. However, I'm seeing a lot about Python and looked over some code. The pros I see for it is it seems easy to pick up and not too fussy. I also see comments on its speed and low resource consumption. Those same comments also note that speed and resources aren't an issue as long as concurrency is low, as it is in my case. How is Python in porting between OSes? In Powershell, you have to code path names using the .net objects in order to get OS-independent code. Is there a similar mechanism in Python or will things like drive names and path separator characters cause issues? Another example in PS is 'sort'. If you use the 'sort' command, it will invoke the command for that OS which may behave differently. To get OS-independence, you have to use the actual Powershell command Sort-Object. Are there similar work-arounds in Python for path names? Does Python have issues with system commands that are named the same in both OSes? Are there any other porting gotchas? EDIT to answer common questions: The DB software is DB2 from IBM. There's a mainframe version, which we run on z/OS, and an LUW version, where LUW stands for Linux/Unix/Windows. Although it runs on Windows, industry standard for DB2 LUW is to run on Linux or AIX. We're currently running DB2 LUW on Windows Servers. Job scheduling is handled on the mainframe with remote triggers to the servers to run the scripts. The scripts are running utilities like reorgs, backups, restoring backups to other servers and then sending completion or failed status back to the mainframe scheduler.
