New Blog Post! Running Python Parallel Applications with Sub Interpreters. What is a sub interpreter? What does this have to do with No-GIL? What use is this? Can I use it for web apps? This and more questions answered. https://tonybaloney.github.io/posts/sub-interpreter-web-workers.html #python #django #flask #fastapi

🎉 Tool for better documentation!! Release of sphinx-gallery, to automatically integrate narrative 🐍 examples in documentations
https://sphinx-gallery.github.io/stable/index.html

Highlight: a light recommender system to show related examples

An illustration of sphinx-gallery:
https://scikit-learn.org/dev/auto_examples/inspection/plot_linear_model_coefficient_interpretation.html
(from @sklearn 's gallery). Note the links to function docs.

Sphinx-gallery comes with awesome features such as
◼online execution with binder or jupyterlite
◼mini-galleries eg to link an object's docstring to its examples

Sampling bias in practice: conducting a survey on the Paris metro platform...

if you ask people where they get off, you'll get a different distribution depending on where on the platform you stand: people choose their position close to the exits at arrival.

cloudpickle 3.0.0 is out!

https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle

cloudpickle is a library used by PySpark, Dask, Ray and joblib / loky (among others) to make it possible to call dynamically or locally defined function, closures and lambdas on remote Python process workers.

This is typically necessary for running code in parallel on a distributed computing cluster from an interactive developer environment such as a Jupyter or Databricks notebooks.
