ipython VS CPython

If you’re already using ipython, this isn’t a problem because you’ll already need to download most of these dependencies anyway. But if you’re not using ipython… you’ll still need to download those dependencies.

!pip install is error-prone, it is better to use %pip install, ipython even warns about this, https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/12954/

The git history (here is the git blame) shows it has not been updated in 9 year. Looks like a documentation issue that you should open an issue against.

Do you know IPython? It is a modern Python console that extends the capabilities of the classic builtin Python shell by offering introspection, tab completion, syntaxing coloring, as well as history. If you don't know it, I can't recommend it enough. More information can be found in its GitHub page.

There is an IPython ticket on GitHub on the topic, but it's unclear if the problem has been solved.

For further documentation on ipython using the CLI, you can refer to the GitHub link or the documentation page.

There’s one I’ve come across recently here where you’re fighting against syntax highlighting with extra error context. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13446#issuecomment...

I see. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13529

You can automate setup for developers using this simple script:

And here’s a GitLab issue requesting support for blame-ignore:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31423

I don’t think there’s a corresponding GitHub request, but maybe if GitLab adds this feature GitHub will have some incentive to follow suit.

> 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.

If you've ever wanted to learn how to use Python or if you already know a bit and want to try something new, then you're in the right place! In this article, we'll show you step-by-step how to make your very own calculator using Python's Tkinter library, a renowned Python library for creating graphical user interfaces. Tkinter stands out for its simplicity, versatility, and widespread use in the Python community. It doesn't matter if you're a total beginner or an experienced coder looking for a fun project, we'll guide you through everything you need to know.

Pandas is an open source, BSD-licensed library providing high-performance, easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools for the Python programming language.

Python for Windows bundles liblzma from this project, but it appears to be version 5.2.5 [0] vendored into the Python project's repo on 2022-04-18 [1], so that should be fine, right?

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), start by creating a new Python file for your registration form project. It's helpful to have separate files for different parts of your project.

Before we dive into coding, you'll need to install Python on your computer if you haven't already. Visit the official Python website at python.org and download the latest version for your operating system. Follow the installation instructions, and you'll be ready to go.

Let's look briefly at each and peek at it's Python implementation...
