    #483: Reflex Framework: Frontend, Backend, Pure Python
    Oct 29 2024
    Let's say you want to create a web app and you know Python really well. Your first thought might be Flask or Django or even FastAPI? All good choices but there is a lot to get a full web app into production. The framework we'll talk about today, Reflex, allows you to just write Python code and it turns it into a full web app running FastAPI, NextJS, React and more plus it handles the deployment for you. It's a cool idea. Let's talk to Elvis Kahoro and Nikhil Rao from Reflex.dev.

  • #482: Pre-commit Hooks for Python Devs

    #482: Pre-commit Hooks for Python Devs
    Oct 24 2024
    Do you struggle to make sure your code is always correct before you check it in? What about your team members' code? That one person who never wants to run the linter? Tired of dealing with tons of conflicts and spurious git changes? You need git pre-commit hooks. We're lucky to have Stefanie Molin on this episode who has done a bunch of writing and teaching of git hooks.

  • #481: Python Opinions and Zeitgeist with Hynek

    #481: Python Opinions and Zeitgeist with Hynek
    Oct 17 2024
    Hynek has been writing and speaking on some of the most significant topics in the Python space and I've enjoyed his takes. So I invited him on the show to share them with all of us. This episode really epitomizes one of the reasons I launched Talk Python 9 years ago. It's as if we run into each other at a bar during a conference and I ask Hynek, "So what are your thoughts on ..." and we dive down the rabbit hole for an hour. I hope you enjoy it.

    #480: Ahoy, Narwhals are bridging the data science APIs
    Oct 9 2024
    If you work in data science, you definitely know about data frame libraries. Pandas is certainly the most popular, but there are others such as cuDF, Modin, Polars, Dask, and more. They are all similar but definitely not the same APIs and Polars is quite different. But here's the problem. If you want to write a library that is for users of more than one of these data frame frameworks, how do you do that? Or if you want to leave open the possibility of changing yours after the app is built, same problem. That's the problem that Narwhals solves. We have Marco Gorelli on the show to tell us all about it.

  • #479: Designing Effective Load Tests for Your Python App

    #479: Designing Effective Load Tests for Your Python App
    Oct 6 2024
    You're about to launch your new app or API, or even just a big refactor of your current project. Will it stand up and deliver when you put it into production or when that big promotion goes live? Or will it wither and collapse? How would you know? Well you would test that of course. We have Anthony Shaw back on the podcast to dive into a wide range of tools and techniques for performance and loading testing of web apps.

    #478: When and how to start coding with kids
    Sep 25 2024
    Do you have kids? Maybe nieces and nephews? Or maybe you work in a school environment? Maybe it's just friend's who know you're a programmer and ask about how they should go about introducing programming concepts with them. Anna-Lena Popkes is back on the show to share her research on when and how to teach kids programming. We spend the second half of the episode talking about concrete apps and toys you might consider for each age group. Plus, some of these things are fun for adults too. ;) Episode sponsors WorkOS Talk Python Courses Links from the show Anna-Lena: alpopkes.com Magical universe repo: github.com Machine learning basics repo: github.com PyData recording "when and how to start coding with kids": youtube.com Robots and devices Bee Bot: terrapinlogo.com Cubelets: modrobotics.com BBC Microbit: microbit.org RaspberryPi: raspberrypi.com Adafruit Qualia ESP32 for CircuitPython: adafruit.com Zumi: robolink.com Board games Think Fun Robot Turtles Board Game: amazon.com Visual programming: Scratch Jr.: scratchjr.org Scratch: scratch.org Blocky: google.com Microbit's Make Code: microbit.org Code Club: codeclubworld.org Textual programming Code Combat: codecombat.com Hedy: hedycode.com Anvil: anvil.works Coding classes / summer camps (US) Portland Community College Summer Teen Program: pcc.edu Watch this episode on YouTube: youtube.com Episode transcripts: talkpython.fm --- Stay in touch with us --- Subscribe to us on YouTube: youtube.com Follow Talk Python on Mastodon: talkpython Follow Michael on Mastodon: mkennedy

    A couple of weeks ago, Charlie Marsh and the folks at Astral made another big splash with a major release of uv called "uv: Unified Python packaging" which has many far reaching features. We had to have Charlie on the show to give us the inside look into this development. Let's get to it.
