Inclusion of job_stream in Parallel Processing wiki page
by Walter Woods Nov. 24, 2016

Nov. 24, 2016

Hello, Since normal users can no longer edit the wiki, I was wondering if someone would mind including job_stream (https://wwoods.github.io/job_stream/) on the Parallel Processing wiki page ( https://wiki.python.org/moin/ParallelProcessing). Maybe with a line like: An MPI-based C++ or Python library for easy, distributed pipeline processing, with an emphasis on running scientific simulations Thanks, Walt Woods

Steering search engines and users away from 3.0/3.1 docs?
by Skip Montanaro Nov. 3, 2016

Nov. 3, 2016

Not quite sure where this should go, so I'll start here. I needed to look up a bit more information about the timeit module than I happened to be carrying around in my noggin just now, so I asked Google to tell me about "Python timeit". The first three hits were: https://docs.python.org/2/library/timeit.html https://docs.python.org/3.0/library/timeit.html http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8220801/how-to-use-timeit-module The first and third hits are fine. The second, not so much. At this point, I think any and all links directly into the 3.0 (and maybe 3.1) documentation should perhaps redirect to the supported https://docs.python.org/3 pages, at least unless URLs carry some sort of "yes-damnit!" parameter. Maybe the robots.txt file should "disallow" traversal of the /3.0 and /3.1 trees as well. Just a couple thoughts... Skip Montanaro

Python Basics For Data Science Cheat Sheet
by Karlijn Willems Oct. 13, 2016

Oct. 13, 2016

Hi As DataCamp's data journalist, I launched a Python For Data Science Cheat Sheet on the DataCamp community yesterday, covering the basics that beginners need to know in order to get started on doing data science with Python. You can find it here: https://www.datacamp.com/community/tutorials/ python-data-science-cheat-sheet-basics I would love to get some feedback from you guys and I was wondering if you might consider adding this cheat sheet as an addition to the Beginner's guide of the Python Wiki. Thanks in advance for your time and looking forward to your reply Karlijn

proposed correction to https://wiki.python.org/moin/NewClassVsClassicClass\
by Phillip Feldman Oct. 13, 2016

Oct. 13, 2016

I'd like to propose a correction to the page at https://wiki.python.org/moin/NewClassVsClassicClass: Current text: The minor syntactic difference is that New Style Classes happen to inherit from object. Proposed replacement: The syntactic difference between new- and old-style classes is that the former inherit from `object` and/or from other new-style classes. Dr. Phillip M. Feldman
