Grokking Python

Long termers here will likely remember my fave Pythonic Pedagogy: to introduce special names as __ribs__. Because pythons have lots of __ribs__. I've not abandoned this idea, just haven't been redundantly reposting about it here for some time. But now... Why not share a couple "friend links" (nothing counts against a quota, no logging in I hope)?: https://kirbyurner.medium.com/grokking-python-9f96140c1e07?sk=d1ec6762e753d… https://kirbyurner.medium.com/pythons-rib-cage-e4ff16cf3a74?sk=3e59d2356de6… A two parter on Medium. I'm getting some claps. I can take criticisms too. Kirby

boosting sympy (again)
by kirby urner 11 Feb '24

I've linked to this Notebook previously, however seeing as it's on Github, it keeps getting updated (just by me in this scenario): https://nbviewer.org/github/4dsolutions/m4w/blob/main/Polyhedrons.ipynb Github view: https://github.com/4dsolutions/m4w/blob/main/Polyhedrons.ipynb This Notebook showcases what you get from the sympy module: * numeric evaluations to arbitrary precision * parallel keeping track of numeric values as algebraic expressions One could argue one gets this from Mathematica and I'd agree: Python has freed itself from the constraints of floating point and does computer algebra (CAS) to a decent level, by means of free open source libraries. My strategy continues to be to market this curriculum tech locally (e.g. here in Oregon), while advertising it more globally (e.g. via Lithuania). Kirby Addendum: More of that same geometry (links to said notebook): https://mybizmo.blogspot.com/2024/02/slinging-jargon.html Some history (re the Greater Pythonista community). https://worldgame.blogspot.com/2010/09/setting-up-djangocon.html Is there a pyhist-sig(a)python.org or like that?
