I definitely want to try this out with kedro.
Bulwark is a package for convenient property-based testing of pandas dataframes, supported for Python 3.5+.
I came across awesome-data-engineering from igorbarinov, and it’s packed with great features and ideas.

I’m really excited about vscode-python, an amazing project by microsoft. It’s worth exploring!

Using pdb #
Just Use Pathlib
Pathlib is an amazing cross-platform path tool.

Custom Python Exceptions
Custom Exceptions # class ProjectNameError(NameError): pass class UserNameError(NameError): pass class CondaEnvironmentError(RuntimeError): pass class BucketNotDefinedError(NameError): pass
Filtering Pandas
Good for method chaining, i.e. adding more methods or filters without assigning a new variable.
# is skus.query('AVAILABILITY == " AVAILABLE"') # is not skus.query('AVAILABILITY != " AVAILABLE"')
masking #
general purpose, this is probably the most common method you see in training/examples
# is skus[skus['AVAILABILITY'] == 'AVAILABLE'] # is not skus[~skus['AVAILABILITY'] == 'AVAILABLE']

Quick Progress Bars in python using TQDM
tqdm is one of my favorite general purpose utility libraries in python. It allows me to see progress of multipart processes as they happen. I really like this for when I am developing something that takes some amount of time and I am unsure of performance. It allows me to be patient when the process is going well and will finish in sufficient time, and allows me to 💥 kill it and find a way to make it perform better if it will not finish in sufficient time.

I’m impressed by bake from kennethreitz.
Bake — the strangely familiar workflow utility.
Clean up Your Data Science with Named Tuples
If you are a regular listener of TalkPython or PythonBytes you have hear Michael Kennedy talk about Named Tuples many times, but what are they and how do they fit into my data science workflow.
As you graduate your scripts into modules and libraries you might start to notice that you need to pass a lot of data around to all of the functions that you have created. For example if you are running some analysis utilizing sales, inventory, and pricing data. You may need to calculate total revenue, inventory on hand. You may need to pass these data sets into various models to drive production or pricing based on predicted volumes.
Here we setup functions that can load data from the sales database. Assume that we also have similar...

Background Tasks in Python for Data Science
This post is intended as an extension/update from background tasks in python. I started using background the week that Kenneth Reitz released it. It takes away so much boilerplate from running background tasks that I use it in more places than I probably should. After taking a look at that post today, I wanted to put a better data science example in here to help folks get started.
