Here's an interesting question:

I came across your blog post "Introduction to using Python to process CSV files" as I'm looking to do something I'd think is easy in Python but I don't know how to do it.

I simply want to examine a column then create a new column …

rom a troll-bait thread asking the argumentative question "why do people use Python"? The answers were, oddly, a long list of strange, nonsensical complaints. And a few logical fallacies. Here are all the ones I could parse:

1. "It's the FORTRAN of our times."
2. It's the COBOL of our times.
3. "deep …

One objective of the Chain of Command design pattern is to be able to write a bunch of functions that link together. The form a chain of alternative implementations. The idea is the have alternatives that vary in their ability to compute a correct answer. If algorithm 1 doesn’t …

I've written a lot about CSV processing. Here are some examples {tag}csv.

It crops up in my books. A lot.

In all cases, though, I make the implicit assumption that my readers already know a lot of Python. This is a disservice to anyone who's getting started.

Read this: NoSQL Database Doesn’t Mean No Schema It was fun to write. And the code works really nicely.

I recently purchased a copy of 'Modern Python Cookbook' but I found that the code listings in the epub file were indented which caused a problem when reading on my tablet. (I reverted to epub as the PDF version froze in the Bookari ereader software.)

I unzipped …
