Subject: [omaha] Getting data into pandas?
Message-ID: <CAOKi2=N=kS4B2CFNHmdGxEpHaS_DfYUr9icWyLnPHheaAxGkOw@mail.gmail.com>

Hey everyone,

I'm having one of those programming challenges that makes me question my
sanity.

I've used Pandas before, but always been some existing CSV or other data
format that I then go in and clean up so as to get down to business.
However, this time I'm doing a project where I created data from a model I
made, and I want to use pandas to analyze the results.

I thought this would be easier than cleaning messy data, but as it turns
out, this is not the case--pandas has some pretty cryptic formatting
requirements (at least in my mind).  I'm actually contemplating throwing my
data into a spreadsheet or SQL db and *then* importing it.

Is there a better way?  Is there some tool that helps shape or guide self
created data into pandas?  I'll keep reading the docs and trying to figure
out what it wants...

Specifically, I'm messing around with pandas.MultiIndex.  I want my data to
be in several layers, which will represent dimensions when I throw it at
sci-kit learn.  Or something.

Thanks guys,

Travis

Not sure I could help, but I'm happy to take a look.  Maybe post some data
or perhaps we could do a screen share of some kind

Thanks guys, I'm going to read this over a few times. :)

Maybe next meeting I can show anyone interested in what I'm up to.  Bob, I
think you're right about the formatting--maybe I should think about it
differently.  I am used to seeing rows and feature columns in 2d as a rule,
with the features becoming different dimensions in the ML technique
(usually).  Maybe just multiple 2d DataFrames instead...

What is Codesters?

Codesters combines a fun online coding platform for students, a powerful
learning management system for teachers, and built-out coding lessons so
you can start teaching kids to code in your school today.

Codesters lets students create interactive projects in Python. Our unique
drag-to-text toolkit guides students through text-based coding, while
engaging them with sprites and animations.

Our LMS allows teachers to enroll students in classes so they can assign
lessons and track progress. Students' work is automatically graded,
collected, and returned to the teachers' dashboard.

I had heard of brython and pyjs (fmrly pyjamas), but not skulpt. Looks
pretty cool.

https://github.com/kripken/emscripten

http://www.pythontutor.com/ is a really great way to visualize algos and
data structures (with a number of languages) with just a browser.

Subject: [omaha] Ottawa Python group is seeking remote speakers
Message-ID: <CAPC5U_kBNDA_vj++Y+JbTasLkG2yk2xNcvzcfR6F+gtWE1d2GA@mail.gmail.com>

I saw a post on python-community.slack.com from someone representing the
Ottawa Python group.  They are seeking remote speakers so I thought I would
pass it along.  Copy of the post is below.   Note: looks like they got the
4/27 spot filled, but other dates are likely to be open.  By the way, its a
pretty good slack group.


Hello! I run a local Python group https://www.meetup.com/ottawapython/#past
and I'm looking for someone willing to do a short (30 minutes or so) remote
presentation Apr 27 or May 25 at 7:30 ET. Any Python-related topic is good.

Do you have a title?  A description too if you'd like

There was a conversation about scheduling problems at the tail end of the
last meeting we had, and it was mentioned that linear programming may have
answers for how to effectively schedule assets.  Does anyone have links to
good materials to learn from?

Thanks,

I teach several operations research classes at UNO, all based in some form
on linear programming.  I'm happy to answer any questions you have.  What
type of scheduling are you interested in?

Message-ID: <1493133864.596420.955733712.25D45093@webmail.messagingengine.com>

I found this interesting:

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/dataplatforminsider/2017/04/19/python-in-sql-server-2017-enhanced-in-database-machine-learning/

First they ported SQL Server to Linux and now embedded Python inside  of
it.

How does this compare to PostgreSQL PL/Python?

# PL/Python

- https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/plpython.html
- https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/

$ docker run --name some-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d
postgres
# tcp:5432 (the postgres port)


http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31755130/pl-python-with-anaconda
- $PYTHON/--with-python=condaenv/bin/python


# SQL Server

- Python in T-SQL
- conda installs on all the DB nodes?

https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/mssql-server-linux/

$ docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=yourStrong(!)Password' -p
1433:1433 -d microsoft/mssql-server-linux


https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/mssql-server-windows/
