We’re very excited to be kicking off 2025 with an exciting announcement… PyCon UK is back, and we’re moving to a brand-new location!

After several fantastic years in Cardiff, the 2025 conference is heading up north. We’re thrilled to announce that PyCon UK 2025 will be held in Manchester from the 19th to the 22nd of September 🗓️

Expect a full program of talks, workshops, and sprints for all Pythonistas. We look forward to seeing you there! 🐍

I just stumbled on the following #Python code

if not (3 <= len(sys.argv) <= 4):

Which I find quite confusing (or even revolting)
Additionally I think it is wrong as the program takes exactly 2 arguments.
So

if ( len(sys.argv) != 3):

would have been far easier to understand.

Nevertheless, can a #Pythonista please explain me the patter?

From other programming languages I would have expected it to fail miserably because the evaluation order would have created somethin like

(3 <= len(sys.argv) )<= 4)

where the first part would evaluate to true or false which both are likely smaller than 4

I can't present today's package without bias—it was my first #rstats package and taught me a lot about #softwaredevelopment.

📦 overviewR (by Cosima Meyer & Dennis Hammerschmidt)

It’s designed for time-series cross-sectional data but works for a range of datasets in your #EDA.

#pythonista? Series coming soon!

I'm at 97 followers. First of all welcome everyone and thanks for following me. I hope I prove to be interesting enough to keep you interested.

A little bit about me I have a BSc in Computer Science from UNCC (go Niners!). I am a bit of a football fanatic (go Niners! - NFL, go Charlotte FC - MLS, go Union Berlin - Bundeslinga!!!)

I consider myself a #pythonista, #datascience enthusiast, and heading back to get my Masters in the latter. I'm building a django website at shaggyverse.net. Slowly
