Project Thoth is a recommendation engine that collects information about software packages, container images such as installation, assembling issues, runtime crashes or information about performance. This information is subsequently used in a recommendation engine that searches large state space of libraries and recommends the best possible combination of libraries suitable for your application using reinforcement learning. Let’s have a look at how such information is collected and how the large state space is explored to resolve the best application stack for your Python application based on different aspects.
Python ecosystem is experiencing significant growth and popularity especially with the hype machine learning, data science and AI are creating. As the ecosystem grows its many times not straightforward and easy to decide which libraries in which versions are the most suitable ones for an application. Project Thoth is a recommendation engine which aggregates various characteristics of Python packages, called "observations", and uses them to recommend the best possible software stack (a fully pinned down list of dependencies) suitable for user's runtime environment and the application purpose. In this talk, we give an overview of the project Thoth, main ideas in data aggregation and its recommendation engine based on reinforcement learning principles. We will also show how you can benefit from Thoth's recommendations.

While working on the Mercurial version control system, we hit our heads against the limits of Python's performance. In this talk we will see how Python and Rust can cohabit to play off of each other's strenghts to improve a big open-source project, and what advances have been made in bridging the two languages.

This is a hands-on short tutorial on how to write your own estimator or transformer which can be used in a scikit-learn pipeline, and works seamlessly with the other meta-estimators of the library. It also includes how they can be conveniently tested with a simple set of tests.

For almost 20 years, we relied on a CGI based protocol called WSGI to use Python to handle HTTP requests and responses software. Because Python is singled threaded we relied on a couple of hacks such as Gunicorn or uWSGI to share a socket through multiple processes. However the cost of all these multiple processes was a bit heavy and error prone. Through Django Channels Andrew Godwin paved the way for a better way of creating web services with Python. This work landed in Django 3.0. Let's ...

How does one manage and document change in Python projects, be that new features or deprecation or removal of a feature? Let's explore some of the tools a Python developer can keep in their toolbox for just this purpose.

We, as developer, aim to provide code that, almost matches our team code style, looks better and behaves right. Static code analysis (SCA) tools are one of the way to achieves that. But, with multi-programming languages projects and all kinds of code related needs, It's difficult to address all thoses usecases without dealing with a vast majority of SCA tools. Coala is a — language agnostic — static code analysis framework that provides a common command-line interface for linting and fixing ...

SortingHat is an open source Python tool that helps to manage the different contributor identities within an open source project. Under the hood SortingHat relies on a relational database, which can be queried via SQL, command line or directly via its Python interface. However, these ways of interacting with SortingHat hinder its integration with external tools, web interfaces and new web technologies (e.g., Django, REST services). To overcome these obstacles, we have evolved SortingHat's ...
