How to send text messages for free using Python | Use Python to send text messages via email
Using SMS and MMS gateways we can send text messages to phones from a computer via email. With this strategy, we can use a combination of the Python SMTP and email library to send text messages programmatically for free! This not only includes short text messages, but also multimedia messages with pictures, videos, or any file! This can be super helpful when you want to send yourself notifications for your Python projects.

Solving Wordle Puzzles with Basic Python
The Wordle puzzle game is deceptively simple - you get six tries to guess a five-letter English word, with hints if you get it wrong. Here’s how you can write an iterative solver that suggests words based on letter frequency and hints using nothing but pure Python.

Exhaustive Union Matching in Python
In this post, I will first briefly explain the concept of sum types, a kind of algebraic data types, and give examples of pattern matching on these types in Rust and Scala. Then I will show how to define sum types in recent Python versions, and I will explain how the mypy type checker can (to a limited degree) be used to add exhaustiveness checks to Python code working with these types.

Ultimate Guide To Text Similarity With Python
In this article, you will learn about different similarity metrics and text embedding techniques. By the end, you'll have a good grasp of when to use what metrics and embedding techniques. You’ll also get to play around with them to help establish a general intuition.

Polyply; a python suite for facilitating simulations of macromolecules and nanomaterials
Molecular dynamics simulations play an increasingly important role in the rational design of (nano)-materials and in the study of biomacromolecules. However, generating input files and realistic starting coordinates for these simulations is a major bottleneck, especially for high throughput protocols and for complex multi-component systems. To eliminate this bottleneck, we present the polyply software suite that provides 1) a multi-scale graph matching algorithm designed to generate parameters quickly and for arbitrarily complex polymeric topologies, and 2) a generic multi-scale random walk protocol capable of setting up complex systems efficiently and independent of the target force-field or model resolution.

Faster API development with django-dataclasses
A new django-dataclasses library allows you to: Define your API schema using Python dataclasses, Use the dataclasses as request and response bodies in Django views and Generate a JavaScript API client from an OpenAPI export.

Building a cryptocurrency site with Svelte, Python and TimescaleDB
This post is a technical overview of the Trading Strategy protocol's website software stack. The audience of this post is software developers who are looking to build scalable software-as-a-service solutions and are interested in Svelte, Python, and TimescaleDB technologies. Developers who are interested in Web3, Ethereum, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technologies will also find this post useful.
