Christopher is an associate professor of chemistry at Stony Brook University. Ben is a professor of chemistry at Penn State’s Eberly College of Science. They’re long-time friends who decided to collaborate on a book after discussing the challenges of teaching coding to chemistry students.

The book targets chemists and other researchers who want to streamline common workflows with Python. It covers core Python concepts, data visualization, and data analysis topics by sharing common problems encountered in chemical research and presenting a complete Python-based solution for each problem.

We discuss how they collaborated on the book and decided what libraries and tools to include. We cover how LLM tools have affected classroom teaching and require new techniques to reinforce learning. We also dig into what motivates students to learn how to code.

Selecting Inheritance or Composition in Python 46:02

منذ 5 weeks46:02

46:02

When considering an object-oriented programming problem, should you prefer inheritance or composition? Why wouldn’t it just be simpler to use functions? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. Christopher shares an article about structuring code using inheritance, composition, or only functions. We discuss how the piece is a good exploration of the trade-offs of each solution. Unlike the tutorials beginners typically encounter while learning the fundamentals, the article goes much deeper into the “why” of object-oriented programming. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, processing audio in Python, reasons why you shouldn’t call dunder methods, smuggling arbitrary data through an emoji, an HTML to markdown converter, and a library to convert Python requests into curl commands. Course Spotlight: Single and Double Underscore Naming Conventions in Python In this video course, you’ll learn a few Python naming conventions involving single and double underscores (_). You’ll learn how to use this character to differentiate between public and non-public names in APIs, write safe classes for subclassing purposes, avoid name clashes, and more. Topics: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:02:23 – Python 3.13.6 Released 00:02:47 – Django 5.2.5 Released 00:02:55 – Django REST Framework Release v3.16.1 00:03:09 – Narwhals v2.0.0 Released 00:03:22 – mypy 1.17 Released 00:03:42 – PEP 798: Unpacking in Comprehensions 00:04:11 – PEP 799: A Dedicated Profilers Package for Organizing Python Profiling Tools 00:06:12 – PyPI Users Email Phishing Attack 00:07:33 – Django in Action 00:08:00 – Call for proposals deadline - PyCon NL 00:08:59 – Python Audio Processing With pedalboard 00:18:49 – Smuggling Arbitrary Data Through an Emoji 00:21:53 – Don’t Call Dunder Methods 00:28:51 – Video Course Spotlight 00:30:27 – Inheritance Over Composition, Sometimes 00:40:03 – html-to-markdown: HTML to Markdown Converter 00:42:20 – curlify: A library to convert Python requests request object into curl commands 00:44:18 – transfunctions: Support Both Sync and Async 00:45:18 – Thanks and goodbye Survey: Listener Survey - Help Shape the Future of the Real Python Podcast News: Python 3.13.6 Released Django 5.2.5 Released Django REST Framework Release v3.16.1 Narwhals v2.0.0 Released Mypy 1.17 Released PEP 798: Unpacking in Comprehensions (Added) PEP 799: A Dedicated Profilers Package for Organizing Python Profiling Tools (Added) PyPI Users Email Phishing Attack – PyPI users are being targeted by an email phishing attack attempting to trick them into logging into a fake PyPI site.

This post summarizes a PyCon US talk on pedalboard and its uses. Smuggling Arbitrary Data Through an Emoji – Unicode includes flexibility through the use of variation selectors. These include the ability to change characters through a consecutive series of coding points. But, when used with code points that don’t need them, they’re ignored, so you can hide data in them. Don’t Call Dunder Methods – It’s best to avoid calling dunder methods. It’s common to define dunder methods, but uncommon to call them directly. Inheritance Over Composition, Sometimes – In an older post, Adrian wrote some code using inheritance. He got questions from his readers asking why it wouldn’t just be simpler to use functions. This post re-implements the code with inheritance, composition, and plain old functions, then compares the approaches.

What goes into crafting an effective Python script? How do you organize your code, manage dependencies with PEP 723, and handle command-line arguments for the best results? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. We dig into a recent Real Python article about how to structure your Python scripts. It includes advice for adding inline script metadata as defined in PEP 723, which helps tools automatically create an environment and install dependencies when the script is run. The piece also covers choosing appropriate data structures, improving runtime feedback, and making your code more maintainable with constants and entry points. We discuss a collection of software trends happening behind the scenes of the constant LLM news. The piece starts with local-first software, prioritizing processing and storing private data on personal devices rather than relying on the cloud. The other trends include common themes and tools we’ve shared over the past few years, including WebAssembly, SQLite’s renaissance, and improvements to cross-platform mobile development. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, the state of free-threaded Python, tips for improving Django management commands, advice for time management as a manager, a data science-focused IDE, and a project to check for multiple patterns in a single string.

Rodrigo Girão Serrão: Python Training, itertools, and Idioms 1:02:49

منذ 15 weeks1:02:49

1:02:49

Once you’ve learned the vocabulary and syntax of the Python language, how do you progress into learning the right combinations to put into your code? How can Python’s built-in itertools library enhance your skills? This week on the show, we speak with Rodrigo Girão Serrão about teaching Python through his blog and his passion for the itertools library. We discuss Rodrigo’s different approaches to writing on his blog. He likes to document smaller concepts about Python and building code in his “Today I Learned” series. He’s also been collecting advice about the best way to use core Python features in another series called “Pydon’ts.” We cover his recent PyCon US tutorial about the built-in itertools module. The functions contained in the module create iterators for efficient looping. We discuss the categories of tools inside the collection and ways to simplify your code. We also explore the concept of vocabulary versus idioms in writing. Idioms are a group of words that hold a symbolic meaning that goes beyond the literal meaning of the individual words. We dig into how that applies to learning Python and building a personal collection of programming idioms. This episode is sponsored by AMD. Course Spotlight: Working With Missing Data in Polars In this video course, you’ll learn how to deal with missing data in Polars to ensure it doesn’t interfere with your data analysis. You’ll discover how to check for missing values, update them, and remove them.

What are the ways you can manage multithreaded code in Python? What synchronization techniques are available within Python’s threading module? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. Christopher discusses his recent Real Python video course about thread safety. The course provides a quick overview of race conditions and how to use locks in your code. It then goes on to share a collection of additional synchronization primitives to make your code thread-safe. We dig into a tutorial by Leodanis Pozo Ramos about managing Python projects with uv. The tutorial shows you how to quickly initialize a project, build the directory structure, add dependencies, and publish your package while practicing the commands inside uv. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, unraveling t-strings, what’s new in pip 25.1, an SVG-first plotting library, and a data modeling tool built on top of Polars and Pydantic. Course Spotlight: Thread Safety in Python: Locks and Other Techniques In this video course, you’ll learn about the issues that can occur when your code is run in a multithreaded environment. Then you’ll explore the various synchronization primitives available in Python’s threading module, such as locks, which help you make your code safe. Topics: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:02:23 – PEP 773: A Python Installation Manager for Windows 00:03:09 – PEP 784: Adding Zstandard to the Standard Library 00:03:28 – Python Insider: Python 3.14.0 Beta 1 Is Here! 00:03:48 – Django Security Releases Issued: 5.2.1, 5.1.9 and 4.2.2 00:04:09 – ty: New Type Checker and Language Server by Astral 00:05:01 – pyrefly: A Fast Type Checker and IDE for Python 00:06:03 – The Future of Textualize 00:07:08 – Managing Python Projects With uv 00:12:20 – pre-commit: Install With uv 00:13:03 – Python’s New t-strings 00:16:38 – Unraveling t-strings 00:18:33 – Video Course Spotlight 00:19:50 – What’s New in Pip 25.1 00:24:30 – Thread Safety in Python: Locks and Other Techniques 00:28:40 – glyphx: SVG-first Plotting Library 00:31:20 – patito: A data modeling layer built on top of Polars and Pydantic 00:34:02 – Thanks and goodbye News: PEP 773: A Python Installation Manager for Windows (Accepted) PEP 784: Adding Zstandard to the Standard Library (Accepted) Python Insider: Python 3.14.0 Beta 1 Is Here!

Textualize the open source project will remain. Show Links: Managing Python Projects With uv – In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create and manage your Python projects using uv, an extremely fast Python package and project manager written in Rust. pre-commit : Install With uv – pre-commit is Adam’s favorite Git-integrated “run things on commit” tool. It acts as a kind of package manager, installing tools as necessary from their Git repositories. This post explains how to use it with uv . Python’s New t-strings – Using f-strings is a readable way of building output, but there are situations where they can’t be used because the contents need to be verified before being string-ified. The new t-strings, coming in 3.14, are a solution to this problem. Unraveling t-strings – PEP 750 introduced t-strings for Python 3.14. These are a template string mechanism similar to f-strings. Although they are in 3.14.0b1, there isn’t any documentation yet, so this post explains what they are how they can be used. What’s New in Pip 25.1 – pip 25.1 introduces support for Dependency Groups (PEP 735), resumable downloads, and an installation progress bar. Dependency resolution has also received a raft of bugfixes and improvements. Thread Safety in Python: Locks and Other Techniques – In this video course, you’ll learn about the issues that can occur when your code is run in a multithreaded environment. Then you’ll explore the various synchronization primitives available in Python’s threading module, such as locks, which help you make your code safe.
