- pandas · PyPI — pandas is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with structured (tabular, multidimensional, potentially heterogeneous) and time series data both easy and intuitive. It aims to be the fundamental high-level building block for doing practical, real world data analysis in Python. Additionally, it has the broader goal of becoming the most powerful and flexible open source data analysis / manipulation tool available in any language. It is already well on its way toward this goal.
- Episode #140 Level up your Python with #100DaysOfCode challenge - [Talk Python To Me Podcast] — How do you learn libraries or parts of Python itself that you don't have actual work projects involving them? Whether that's SQLAlchemy, Slack bots, or map APIs, actually building projects (small and large) with them is really the only way to gain true competency. You might try a 100 days of Python code challenges. This week you'll meet Bob Belderbos and Julian Sequeira who created PyBites. The have done a few 100 days of code challenges and are here to share their experience and some concrete examples.
