The PSF is hiring a Python Packaging Project Manager!
Thanks to a two-year grant commitment from Bloomberg, our second 2021 Visionary Sponsor and a long term committed supporter of the Python ecosystem, The Python Software Foundation (PSF) is hiring a full-time project and community manager for the Python Packaging ecosystem, with a specific focus on the Python Package Index (PyPI).

Unifying the CUDA Python Ecosystem
To date, access to CUDA and NVIDIA GPUs through Python could only be accomplished by means of third-party software such as Numba, CuPy, Scikit-CUDA, RAPIDS, PyCUDA, PyTorch, or TensorFlow, just to name a few. Each wrote its own interoperability layer between the CUDA API and Python. By releasing CUDA Python, NVIDIA is enabling these platform providers to focus on their own value-added products and services. NVIDIA also hopes to lower the barrier to entry for other Python developers to use NVIDIA GPUs. 


Articles, Tutorials and Talks

The Architecture Behind A One-Person Tech Startup
A great post breaking down the setup run a SaaS, from load balancing to cron job monitoring to payments and subscriptions. 

How I built a €25K Machine Learning Rig
How to plan, buy, build, and store your 2-10 GPU machine learning servers and PCs.

Porting VaccinateCA to Django
Originally VaccinateCA was powered by a heavily customized Airtable instance, accompanied by a custom JavaScript app for the callers that communicated with the Airtable API via some Netlify functions. Learn how it was ported to a new custom Django backend, running on top of PostgreSQL.

How To Use a FastAPI Abstraction To Query AWS Data Lake
Data lakes provide a myriad of benefits. They are data agnostic and don’t require you to define a schema upfront. However, without a proper structure, it may be challenging to find the data that you need. In this article, we’ll address this problem by creating a FastAPI abstraction allowing us to query the AWS Glue metadata catalog.

Python dataclasses will save you HOURS, also featuring attrs 
In this video we learn about dataclasses and how to use them, as well as the related attrs library that dataclasses were based on.

Python Typing with mypy
Progressive Type Checking on a Large Code Base.

Python 3 Types in the Wild: A Tale of Two Type Systems
This paper explores how developers use these type annotations, the type system semantics provided by type checking and inference tools, and the performance of these tools. We evaluate the types and tools on a corpus of public GitHub repositories. We review MyPy and PyType, two canonical static type checking and inference tools, and their distinct approaches to type analysis. We then address three research questions: (i) How often and in what ways do developers use Python 3 types? (ii) Which type errors do developers make? (iii) How do type errors from different tools compare?

Integrating Rust into Python
This post details the specific mechanics of integrating Rust with Python to increase performance, with very little effort.

Using PyTorch + NumPy? You're making a mistake.
A bug that plagues thousands of open-source ML projects.

Deep learning model compression
This post covers model inference optimization or compression in breadth and hopefully depth as of March 2021. This includes engineering topics like model quantization and binarization, more research-oriented topics like knowledge distillation, as well as well-known-hacks.

How to Create Mathematical Animations like 3Blue1Brown Using Python
Leverage your Python Skills to Create Beautiful Mathematical Animations.

Python + AWS Lambda 
The series will cover: Writing a Python script that pulls the current day's weather from an API, Packaging the script into a Docker container, Automating using CI/CD to push the Docker container to AWS to run on AWS Lambda, Scheduling the AWS Lambda function to run automatically and Writing infrastructure YAML file to create components automatically.

How to Build Machine Learning Pipeline with Scikit-Learn? And Why is it essential?
In this post, you will learn what is a pipeline and How to use scikit-learn pipeline? How to do grid search and feature selection with pipelines? How to use column transformer with pipeline?

Getting Started With MicroPython on the Raspberry Pi Pico
The Pi Foundation's first microcontroller is here! Learn how to program it using MicroPython.
