I’ve been drafting a blog post on my recent Python tooling woes and the working title is:
“Python tooling is easy! Just use pip, conda, mamba, poetry, pipx, pdm, nix, uv, venv, virtualenv, pipenv or pyenv”

I tried converting some of my S3 code to S7.
What I loved:
• the automatic validation is phenomenal
• extending S3 with S7 is straightforward
What I’m struggling with:
• my custom constructors, particularly with child classes, are pretty complicated and involve lots of copy-pasting of code

A day late but…
extremely thankful for folks making awesome Python libraries so I can avoid learning Rust or C.

If you're interested in trying out LLMs in #rstats but don't know where to begin, I've added a few two vignettes to elmer: elmer.tidyverse.org/articles/elm... and elmer.tidyverse.org/articles/pro...

You want to join two tables on their ID column, but only when the dates in one table fall within the range of the other table.
Polars lets you do that with `join_where`, which supports inequality joins through the use of inequality predicates.
Here's an example 👇

@rabaath.bsky.social explains why even after 5 years #python pandas feels clunky when coming from #Rstats: www.sumsar.net/blog/pandas-... My take is not on whether one is better than the other for the experienced, but on which one is more accessible for the inexperienced.
Why pandas feels clunky when coming from R
Five years ago I started a new role and I suddenly found myself, a
