Daily Python Tip 🐍🐧

Last week, two versions of litellm package (3.4M downloads/day) contains malicious code due to previous compromise of maintainer's PyPI credentials. This seems as a cool trick to be less vulnerable to such attacks (found on LinkedIn / Hacker news) 👇

survey = simple library for creating beautiful interactive prompts github.com/Exahilosys/survey

Something I was not aware of - (Ana)conda is not free for commercial use! You must either purchase a commercial license (~$150/year) or use alternative solutions like (mini)conda or mamba - see the comparison 👇

PyAutoGUI helps you to to programmatically control the mouse & keyboard. github.com/asweigart/pyautog… Save a screenshot with three lines of code:

Use more_itertools library to access more advanced itertools functions, e.g. - split data into chunks - get sliding window over data - compress the sequence with run-length encoding

ruff = extremely fast Python linter, written in Rust github.com/charliermarsh/ruf…

IPython (Jupyter Notebook, Colab...) has a cell magic %%capture, which captures the stdout/stderr of a cell. notebook.community/lifeinopp… It can be also used to omit long output like installation messages in Colab setup cell, e.g. %%capture !pip install #...many packages

Euporie = run Jupyter notebooks entirely from the terminal github.com/joouha/euporie

Python 3.3 introduced `yield from` So instead of for v in my_generator: yield v you can write directly yield from my_generator Example:

Teaching Python? Avoid installation troubles and use @code and Python through GitHub Codespaces. This is a good intro: youtube.com/watch?v=7rMvb03h… And here you can find the template repository of a preconfigured environment: github.com/education/codespa…
