ENG - Learning Python for data work in the social sciences is one of my current goals.
I had graaaaaaaat ambitions for this spring break week, which is already drawing to a close… (we did lose an hour to daylight saving time — that counts for something, right?)
So…
✔️ Followed the excellent introductory session by Emilien Schultz (Urfist de Lyon): a course that invites you to reflect on what a programming language actually does to our data — and all that implies — well beyond purely technical or "utilitarian" considerations. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the two following sessions, which are offered in person…
✔️ Tracked down a few manuals and tutorials to get the adventure started
✔️ And, as always essential for me: some "context." In this case, the documentary available online — Python, The Documentary (Cult. Repo) — recommended by Emilien during the session. A fascinating dive into the creation of Python — born out of a failure —, its development, the governance challenges of a community that never stopped growing, its near-disappearance, and the — belated but real — inclusion of women developers, with the rise of #PyLadies and one of its leading figures, @mariatta . The documentary tells the story primarily from the perspective of the founders and early developers rather than the broader community — there is doubtless much more to be said —, but it is a wonderful introduction to what has become one of the most essential programming languages around.
Right. Time to open a terminal and write some actual code !
FR - (English follows - see comments) Apprendre Python pour mon usage de données en sciences sociales est l'un de mes objectifs actuels.
J'avais de graaaaaaaaandes ambitions pour cette semaine de relâche qui s'achève déjà (bon, on a eu une heure de moins avec le retour à l'heure d'été — ça compte un peu, non ?)
Alors…
✔️ Suivi (en ligne) l'excellente introduction de @emilienschultz dans le cadre de @[email protected] : une formation qui propose une réflexion sur ce que fait un langage informatique à nos données — avec toutes ses implications —, bien au-delà des considérations purement techniques ou "utilitaires". Je ne pourrai malheureusement pas assister aux deux séances suivantes, offertes en présence…
✔️ Récupéré quelques manuels et tutoriels pour me lancer dans l'aventure
✔️ Et, ce qui est toujours essentiel pour moi : du "contexte". En l'occurrence, le documentaire accessible en ligne : Python, The Documentary (Cult. Repo) — recommandé par Émilien lors de la formation. Une plongée fascinante dans la création de Python — né d'un échec —, son développement, les défis de gouvernance d'une communauté qui n'a cessé de s'élargir, quelques-unes de ses crises, et l'intégration — tardive mais réelle — des femmes de la tech, avec l'émergence des #pyladies, et aussi l'une de ses figures phares : @mariatta . Le documentaire raconte l'histoire principalement du point de vue des fondateurs et premiers développeurs plutôt que de la communauté dans son ensemble — il reste sans doute beaucoup à dire —, mais c'est une magnifique introduction à ce qui est devenu l'un des langages informatiques incontournables.
Et maintenant... plongée dans les choses sérieuses : du python !
💜 Happy International Women’s Day from PyLadies!
Today, we celebrate the women and non-binary members of our global community who organize, mentor, teach, and contribute to Python every day. 🐍✨
Thank you for making our community stronger and more inclusive. 🌍
Help needed: Someone removed the #PyLadies #stockholm admins and changed the name of the meetup group, changed logo/header photos of the past event. I wrote about the person and their post in linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7435384140042039297/ I hope the larger #python #community can comment in the linkedin post and point out why this is bad. Please boost for more reach.
https://www.meetup.com/pyladiesstockholm/ this is the group. They deleted also the meetup event planned next.
Here is an example of what not to do. This person kicked out all the meetup admins including Anastasia Potekhina Anwesha Das Gabrialla and changed logo and everything, even for the events which happened in the past. I do not see the chance of this being a mistake, rather a bad intent. #python #community #stockholm #pyladies #Sweden I hope there are more people in the Stockholm tech scene who can tell the person why and how bad it is.
Spending the day at PyTv Unplugged with the amazing @pycharm.dev crew - join in the fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKkyBhXIJJU see if you can spot my 90s hair and make up combo 😃
Have you ever dreamed of coding your own LLM-powered book recommendation app? PyLady Stefanie Wedel has done just that! Join us on March 17h at @zbzuerich for Stefanie's presentation of NarraLune and a discussion on how to turn your personal interests in a fun technical project.
