Your tests do not run against the package as it will be installed by its users. They run against whatever the situation in your project directory is.

[2019-07-25] o

To achieve that, you just move your packages into a src directory and add a where argument to find_packages() in your setup.py:

However, if your module's name is __main__, it is not considered to be in a package. Its name has no dots, and therefore you cannot use from .. import statements inside it. If you try to do so, you will get the "relative-import in non-package" error.

The idea is simple: in comparison to list interface where computation results are first saved and are returned only at the end, “yielding” could reach faster code and reduce memory usage. As a quick simulation we may use %timeit magic command in IPython with the following two functions:

The two packages complement each other. They cannot and do not replace each others’ functionality.

[2019-08-25] https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/argparse.html argparse: use set_defaults

One particularly effective way of handling sub-commands is to combine the use of the add_subparsers() method with calls to set_defaults() so that each subparser knows which Python function it should execute. For example:
This way, you can let parse_args() do the job of calling the appropriate function after argument parsing is complete. Associating functions with actions like this is typically the easiest way to handle the different actions for each of your subparsers. However, if it is necessary to check the name of the subparser that was invoked, the dest keyword argument to the add_subparsers() call will work:

[2019-09-02] ah, could pass lambda to forward to actual handler function!

Poetry for dep management [[python]]

We have moved our dependency management from pipenv to poetry and hasn’t been more happier than now working with and publish Python modules.
Now we use pyenv with poetry to run all our projects in Python with venv in project instead of decided by poetry default settings. We changed the settings with:
poetry config settings.virtualenvs.in-project true After this in hgignore or gitignore added .venv folder.
Now everything is the way we wanted, with Pipenv many times faced issues that the project worked with requirements.txt but not in Pipenv. Didn’t have this issue moving to poetry yet.
Also with emacs support and automated deployment tools the predictability of poetry made our team easy to work with and publish Python application modules.

pipenv- like venv - can be used to create virtual envelopes but additionally rolls-in package management and vulnerability checking functionality. Instead of using requirements.txt, pipenv delivers package management via Pipfile. As PyPA endorses pipenv for PACKAGE MANAGEMENT, that would seem to imply pipfile is to supplant requirements.txt.

HOWEVER: pipenv uses virtualenv as its tool for creating virtual envelopes, NOT venv which is endorsed by PyPA as the go-to tool for creating virtual envelopes.

[2020-07-08] SymPy - a Python library for symbolic mathematics | Hacker News [[sympy]] [[sage]]

As one point of comparison, SymPy is comically slow compared to Sage. This is mostly because SymPy is purely Python; Sage on the other hand uses a derivative of GiNaC [1] for its internal symbolic expression representation, and then multiple external libraries for non-trivial operations. Symbolic transformations are mostly Maxima [3]. Sage literally converts expressions to strings, pipes them through a Maxima process, and then parses the result back. This is still much faster than the pure Python SymPy.
There is an effort to speed up SymPy core, SymEngine [3], but it's been in development for years now, and still isn't integrated into SymPy. Not sure why.
Case in point: 'expand("(2+3x+4x*y)^60")' takes 5 seconds with SymPy; Sage does the same in 0.02 seconds.

[2019-12-08] Dynamically change slots in Python 3 - Stack Overflow [[python]]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27907373/dynamically-change-slots-in-python-3 

Normally, an object's attributes are stored in a dict, which requires a fair bit of memory itself. If you are creating millions of objects then the space required by these dicts becomes prohibitive. __slots__ informs the python machinery that makes the class object that there will only be so many attributes refered to by instances of this class and what the names of the attributes will be. Therefore, the class can make an optimisation by storing the attributes directly on the instance rather than in a dict. It places the memory for the (pointers to the) attributes directly on the object, rather than creating a new dict for the object.

[2020-08-19] installrequires vs requirements files — Python Packaging User Guide [[pip]]

Requirements Files described most simply, are just a list of pip install arguments placed into a file.
Whereas install_requires defines the dependencies for a single project, Requirements Files are often used to define the requirements for a complete Python environment.
Whereas install_requires requirements are minimal, requirements files often contain an exhaustive listing of pinned versions for the purpose of achieving repeatable installations of a complete environment.
Whereas install_requires requirements are “Abstract”, i.e. not associated with any particular index, requirements files often contain pip options like --index-url or --find-links to make requirements “Concrete”, i.e. associated with a particular index or directory of packages. 1
Whereas install_requires metadata is automatically analyzed by pip during an install, requirements files are not, and only are used when a user specifically installs them using pip install -r.

Not really. Enable something like MyPy or PyType on a big enough codebase with zero explicit annotation and it'll already find plenty of bugs and unhandled cases from the inferred types alone. Some of these are stuff a strong IDE may catch too (using the wrong function name, passing wrong number of args, etc), but some other ones are actually deeper in the code.

So already, with zero annotations, you already get value out, let alone once you type a few tricky variables that are harder for Python to track.

Yes. I've written a few systems using SQLAlchemy that see 50-100k writes  and 200k or so reads per second, and as long as you're using the Core everything works fine. Also allows you to use the ORM for ease-of-development on bits that don't need performance.

SQLAlchemy is probably the one library in which I've never reached the "wait, I need to do something and can't" point. Every single weird edge case I've had to handle has been supported either natively or by being able to access the raw interfaces directly in a clean way. Fantastic library, can't recommend it more highly.

Also, the lead dev is extremely responsive on the google group and is more than happy to answer questions.

Compare Bokeh with Plotly
1. Easy to install. The process is very similar to Plotly.
2. Bokeh plot is not as interactive as Plotly.
3. Limitation on drawing string value on plot. It looks like only the bar chart can take the string values. Date time string has to convert to DateTime type first in order to be on non-bar plots such as scatter, line, etc.
4. It is not easy to overlay different type of plots on one figure.
5. Less examples online.
6. Less integrated with Panda than Plotly.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/5nwk9r/plotly_vs_bokeh_vs/ 

The last advantage I found that plotly has over bokeh is that almost everything in plotly is a dict. This is really useful because I've found certain plotly functions are really slow for some reason or can't be called when you use the multiprocessing module because of pickling issues. Not a problem, in the end they generate dicts under the hood, you can do the same yourself and still pass those dicts to plotly. Also calling help() on plotly objects tells you what keys and values you need to add to your dict.

[2020-11-25] python - Extract traceback info from an exception object - Stack Overflow [[errors]]

There's a very good reason the traceback is not stored in the exception; because the traceback holds references to its stack's locals, this would result in a circular reference and (temporary) memory leak until the circular GC kicks in. (This is why you should never store the traceback in a local variable.)

frustrating: so much duplication [[pip]]

[2020-05-28] Hypermodern Python | Lobsters

Agree. I now have a sudden urge to write a guide how to start from very simple (i.e. system interpreter, no packaging, minimal verification) and how to progress further on. And how to decide what tools do you even need to consider and at which stage.

In hindsight as a somewhat experienced Python programmer I can see how each of these tools can be helpful – but if I was a beginner I would be completely overwhelmed.

PyPy 2.6 introduced vmprof, a very-low-overhead statistical profiler. The standard, non-statistical cProfile is also supported, and can be enabled without turning off the JIT. We do recommend vmprof anyway because turning on cProfile can distort the result (sometimes massively, though hopefully this should not be too common).

[2020-05-16] macropy: syntactic macros for Python | Lobsters

acropy is excellent when one wants to use syntactic macros. One problem I had was that, for my scripts, I cannot directly use macropy and other syntax modifiers since they rely on the import hooks, which means that you can not use them directly on the script file. You have to import them separately, which makes their use cumbersome.

This was my project to work around this issue. It works, but is very hacky, and requires adding a new codec to the Python installation.

*.egg-link files that contain the name of a built or development egg, to support symbolic linking on platforms that do not have native symbolic links.
📓 garden/melanocarpa/python.myco by @melanocarpa

Python is a scripting programming language.

= Packaging Packaging in Python is a pain for me. From now on, I will try to collect some articles describing people failing to publish a Python package.

=> https://warmedal.se/~bjorn/posts/2021-09-12-python-packaging-woes.html | Python Packaging Woes

I've been trying to figure out python3 packaging, but have only had some success. As always I guess it comes down to the combination of me not having the prerequisite knowledge to understand some docs, and me wanting to do something that isn't really supported.

bouncepaw: I tell you what. On all the machines I've tried, never have I succeeded to install a Python package and get it running on the first attempt. Never. Be it GNU+Linux, be it Mac, whatever. Never happened. Always, there are problems that require some shamanic actions.

chekoopa: "You just don't know how to cook 'em". No problems with pip, except of some exotic C++-FFI libs requiring on-site compilation. Even more, after switching to NixOS the only reason Python ecosystem could fail for me is a rare library or packaging bug. Even more, with Nix it becomes dead simple to package a Python app. No virtualenv's, no requirements.txt, ever.

bouncepaw: Yeah, I have no idea how to cook em. But I do expect that installing a random package will succeed with no prior configuration. That's what package managers are what, right? NixOS saves the day!

= Multithreading. chekoopa: GIL is a dirty workaround and sucks. The only reasonable way to do parallel jobs with Python is asyncio, which is still a single thread with sugared control passing.
