I have an updated version of this on my blog here: https://chrisamico.com/blog/2023-01-14/python-setup/.

Python

This is my recommended Python setup, as of Fall 2022. The Python landscape can be a confusing mess of overlapping tools that sometimes don't work well together. This is an effort to standardize our approach and environments.

Tools and helpful links:

• Python docs: https://docs.python.org/3/
• Python Standard Library:  - Start here when you're trying to solve a specific problem

My favorite command line tools (2021-09-09)

I wrote this in response to Gurman's tweet. I remember answering in News Nerdery, but it was sadly lost to the void. :(

xsv - https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv

The CSV Swiss-army knife that trumps all others. Written in Rust, so it's absurdly fast in a way that's still kind of shocking.

VisiData - https://www.visidata.org/

FROM python:3.6-slim-stretch as csvbuilder

# This one uses csvs-to-sqlite to compile the DB, and then uses datasette
# inspect to generate inspect-data.json Compiling pandas takes way too long
# under alpine so we use slim-stretch for this one instead.

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3-dev gcc
COPY *.csv csvs/
RUN pip install csvs-to-sqlite datasette
RUN csvs-to-sqlite csvs/names.csv data.db -f "name" -c "legislature" -c "country"

console.log('[' + selected_values.toString() + ']');

 * Wrap D3 charting components in a simple Backbone view interface

 * Provides a redrawing path, data sync, and fallback for non-d3 browsers.

 * Views that extend ChartView should implement their own "draw" function and go to work.
