Typeclasses in Python

Sometimes you need to change the behavior of a function based on the type of argument passed to it. This is a classic example of polymorphism in programming. In this article, you’ll learn how this is typically done in Python, compare that to polymorphism in other languages, and see how the new classes library can make the whole process easier.

Custom Permission Classes in Django REST Framework

One of the great things about Django REST Framework (DRF) is how easy it is to be productive with the built-in API views and permission classes. But sometimes you need a bit more control than the built-in objects allow. This article walks you through how to create and use custom permission classes in DRF so that you can have complete control over how permissions work in your REST API.

Why is `a, b = b, a` not always equivalent to `b, a = a, b`?

In Python you can swap the values of two variables without creating a temporary variable. So, if you have two variables a = 1 and b = 2, you can swap their values using a, b = b, a. Now a has the value 2 and b has the value 1. So shouldn’t b, a = a, b do the same thing? In most cases, it will, but one user on Stack Overflow found an instance where they don’t, and the explanation gets into the nitty-gritty about how assignments are evaluated.

Coherent Python and PostgreSQL Enums Using SQLAlchemy

An Enumlets you restrict variables to a set of constants. You can use them to map values that would typically be strings to integer constants, which helps reduce human error due to misspellings. SQLAlchemy also supports enums for use with your database layer. This article shows you how to generate an SQLAlchemy enum from a Python Enum instance so that your data can live in a single place and be shared between the Python and database layers of your application.

Parameterizing and Automating Jupyter Notebooks With Papermill

Jupyter Notebooks are a great way to create reproducible experiments and data analysis, but sometimes you want to alter parameters used in the notebook to see how the results change. One way to do that is with the papermill package. Using papermill, you can execute a notebook with new parameters straight from the command line.
