Articles, Tutorials and Talks
A simple explanation of how they work and how to implement one from scratch in Python.
When writing Python applications, caching is important. Using a cache to avoid recomputing data or accessing a slow database can provide you with a great performance boost. In this tutorial, after a quick introduction to basic memcached usage, you’ll learn about advanced patterns such as “cache and set” and using fallback caches to avoid cold cache performance issues.
Many a times, websites do not make their APIs public and use them privately on their webpages. In this video, learn how to discover and explore those web APIs and use them in your Python program.
An intro to module loaders and finders.
A scalable and highly available proxy for JupyterHub.
How to add tests, CI, code coverage, and more.
Python 3 GUI apps with asynchronous functionality.
In this guide you will learn how to apply Holistically-Nested Edge Detection (HED) with OpenCV and Deep Learning. We&'ll then compare the results of HED with Canny edge detection.
In this part, we will add a few awesome features to the list: Test Client, Alternative way to add routes (like Django) and Support for templates.
In this installment of our cheat sheet series, we’re going to cover the best practices for securely using Python.
In this article I will be describing what it means to apply an affine transformation to an image and how to do it in Python. First I will demonstrate the low level operations in Numpy to give a detailed geometric implementation. Then I will segue those into a more practical usage of the Python Pillow and OpenCV libraries.
