attrs VS CPython

Full support for validation and serialisation of attrs classes and msgspec Structs. Where previously only Pydantic models and types where supported, you can now mix and match any of these three libraries. In addition to this, adding support for another modelling library has been greatly simplified with the new plugin architecture

Pydantic is by far not the only library of its kind, with prominent members of the same class being attrs, cattrs or even plain dataclasses for some use cases.

Anything requiring e.g. setattr, getattr, delattr? Without looking far,

I was looking for an example of using locals() to "fill a data class from kwargs" or something similar to that. The example here doesn't use locals().

That aside, I generally wouldn't use the kwargs approach shown in this example either. I'd use [dataclasses](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html ) or [attrs](https://www.attrs.org/) instead.

I continue to be surprised how easy it can be to consume a SOAP API with the right client libraries. Such as https://docs.python-zeep.org/en/master/ for Python. Now that's not to say it will always work, you can design a terrible API with any mechanism, no SOAP or REST client will help you if the other end has desided to succumb to madness and done something like turn their entire API into just "two endpoints" and driven by the payload content you post to the inbound endpoint, and you have to sit there polling the outbound endpoint with the inbound endpoints response ID because to find out what the eventual response is...

But horror story aside, consuming a decent SOAP endpoint with a good client library can be practically magical.

Between attrs (https://www.attrs.org/), cattrs (https://cattrs.readthedocs.io/), and the aforementioned zeep soap client I've got a serialisation pipeline from soap endpoint into an attrs dataclass with type hints and basic type validation down to a snippet so small it fits right here (type hints removed to minimise size).

  from zeep import helpers

attrs has at least two.

Thankfully, Python, the go-to coding language for loads of developers, is here to save the day. It's got some awesome features for diving into text sentiment analysis. With cool libraries like Tweepy, we can sift through X(Twitter) data and snag those interesting tweets about Bitcoin. And then there's TextBlob, a clever tool for understanding the sentiment in text. When it's time to clean up and organize all that data, libraries like pandas and numpy are there to help out. And let's not forget about matplotlib, the master of visualisations that can help us see the trends in sentiment crystal clear. Armed with these tools, developers can really dig deep into social media data and figure out what the general public thinks about Bitcoin.

Web Scraping Tool Development: Develop a Python based web scraping tool capable of extracting data from targeted web pages on Yahoo Finance and presenting the data extracted in a readable format. Our target site relies on AJAX to load and update the data dynamically so we will need a tool that is capable of processing JavaScript.

Dealing with piles of papers or scattered Excel sheets for employee information can be a real headache, right? Well, what if I told you there's a smoother way to handle all that? A system that lets you easily store, update, and find details about your employees in just a few clicks. Sounds neat, doesn't it? In this article, we're going to explore creating an employee management system using Python, Tkinter, and SQLite3.

Python is a versatile tool, and today we're delving into a practical use case that can simplify your daily routines. With the datetime module at your disposal, handling dates and times becomes a breeze, making it perfect for crafting accurate and dynamic product receipts. Whether you're a seasoned Python pro or just starting your coding journey, this article will guide you through each step with ease.

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), create a new Python file for our music player project. It's helpful to have separate files for different parts of your project.

> It provides a meaningful performance improvement for at least one popular platform (realistically, on the order of 5%).

At first it will not provide a large boost, but it will set the foundations for larger gains in subsequent releases. They link a list of some proposed improvements already underway, with improvement estimates, at https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/115802

After that, with the basics of software engineering understood, I would move on to a wider use language, with a bigger ecosystem to employ, most likely Python. This would expose me to large system design / distributed systems and architectural challenges...

Have you ever felt like your photos needed a little extra touch to stand out? Well, get ready because we're about to learn a cool Python trick! We're going to take ordinary photos and turn them into awesome pencil sketches using Python and OpenCV. This will make your pictures look like they were drawn by hand!

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to convert a bunch of images into a PDF file quickly and efficiently? Imagine the convenience of converting a series of images from your recent trip into a single PDF album with just a few clicks. In this article, we will cover the process of building an Image PDF Converter App using Python. With the help of libraries like tkinter, os, and Python Imaging Library (PIL), we'll walk through the process of creating a powerful tool that can streamline this task for you.
