I love using pipx for automatic virtual environment management of my globally installed python cli applications, but sometimes the application is not compatible with your globally installed Which version of python is using?? # This one took me a minute to figure out at first, please let me know if there is a better way. I am pretty certain that this is not the ideal way, but it works. My first technique was to make a package that printed out. Let’s setup some other versions of python with pyenv # If you don’t already have pyenv installed, you can follow their install instructions to get it. I usually require a virtual environment # I set the environment variable to to ensure that the virtual environment is activated when pip installing, this makes it so that I can’t accidentally use the global env, which is typically not what I want to do. This goes right into my shell startup script or. Exceptions happen # This is my one exception. I’ve had better luck putting pipx right in the global…

When I am creating blog posts it’s often helpful to add screenshots to them to illustrate what I see on my screen. Sometimes I lack good screenshots in my posts because it just takes more effort than I have in the moment, and I prioritize making content over making perfect content. Making Screenshots # When I have something to take a screenshot of, I need to take the shot, optimize the image, often convert it to a better format, publish it, and create a the img tag in my blog. take screenshot optimize conversion publish create img tag Created in 🐍Python # I created this tool for myself in python because that is what I am most familiar with, but realistically most of what I am calling are shell scripts that I could do in just about any language. Install my screenshot tool # My screenshot tool is quite hacky and not configurable, but works wonderfully for me. If you like it and want to use it, make it configurable or fork it. For now it lives on GitHub and since it has a setup.py with en…

Copier is a fantastic templating library written in python, but older versions have a dangerous bug if you are using it inside of existing directories.!!UPDATE # As of May 15, 2022, the stable release of copier now includes these changes, if you have not already make sure you update. This is a PSA # I Use copier several times per day and get fantastic benefit from this project, this post is not intended to crap all over copier in any way, but is rather a PSA for other users who do use copier like I do so that they know the dangers of using copier inside an existing directory. The issue # The fix # https://github.com/copier-org/copier/pull/273 As of the time of writing this version is still in beta, if you still want to use copier with existing directtories, I’d strongly encourage you to install the release. confirm # My update commit # https://github.com/WaylonWalker/devtainer/commit/a06e47462e2c6d26ad69fbdc2e7990a1a73ab4b7

Here are some CFP’s that I used for PyOhio 2022. https://pretalx.com/pyohio-2022/cfp Idea to blog post in minutes - Shorter # Markata is a plugins all the way down static site generator, that covers all the things you need to go from markdown to a blog site out of the box. Since it’s plugins all the way down you can also rip out all the default plugins, and do something completely different with the lifecycle. Lets build a whole blog site in 5 minutes. Add Kedro to your Pandas Workflow - Short # Sometimes python scripts/notebooks take a long time to run, let kedro automatically save your datasets so that you can maintain your production code with ease. Lets take a pipeline with an issue 30 minutes in and solve the issue in 5 mintues.
