Pandas is at a the core of virtually all data science done in Python, that is virtually all data science. Since it's beginning, Pandas has been based upon numpy. But changes are afoot to update those internals and you can now optionally use PyArrow. PyArrow comes with a ton of benefits including it's columnar format which makes answering analytical questions faster, support for a range of high performance file formats, inter-machine data streaming, faster file IO and more. Reuven Lerner is here to give us the low-down on the PyArrow revolution.
I had missed the great episode with Dr. Geoff Boeing at #TalkPythonToMe: #495: #OSMnx: #Python and #OpenStreetMap
I really love OSMnx and use it all the time, often with #py5 (which has a cool #shapely integration that helps).

On this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Geoff Boeing, an assistant professor at the University of Southern California whose research spans urban planning, spatial analysis, and data science. We explore why OpenStreetMap is such a powerful source of global map dataโand how Geoff's Python library, OSMnx, makes that data easier to download, model, and visualize. Along the way, we talk about what shapes city streets around the world, how urban design influences everything from daily commutes to disaster resilience, and why turning open data into accessible tools can open up completely new ways of understanding our cities. If you've ever wondered how to build or analyze your own digital maps in Python, or what it takes to manage a project that transforms raw geographic data into meaningful research, you won't want to miss this conversation.
We're going to be on THE @talkpython podcast next week! ๐๏ธ
This also has a livestream, so join us to ask us questions and give us support ๐

Talk Python to Me is a weekly podcast hosted by developer and entrepreneur Michael Kennedy. We dive deep into the popular packages and software developers, data scientists, and incredible hobbyists doing amazing things with Python. If you're new to Python, you'll quickly learn the ins and outs of the community by hearing from the leaders. And if you've been Pythoning for years, you'll learn about your favorite packages and the hot new ones coming out of open source.
