Xcode (and Python)

My guess is that the Xcode project management stuff also wouldn't be relevent to Python, and I bet the debugger isn't integrated either.

You'll probably have to open Terminal.app :)

I just ran my first python script. It took me an hour to figure out how to do it but now I'm downloading my entire band camp album collection automatically, which rocks

Are there any python heads around that could answer a q

it's my job so... maybe

... in the morning.

import a library that does it for you

Ask it

i'm here to watch, general support

Ask it, I love tests

is it an african or a european swallow

My rate is $250 an hour, four hour minimum

try putting the problem down on a table and stepping away from it

I offer competitive rates for searching stackoverflow

This question has already been asked before.

Please do this before doing anything else:

xcode-select --install

i have a related question. i've been managing big geographic data projects for a while, but never made it further than learning moderate SQL. i'm now managing a few data scientist who are doing some really cool stuff with python, but i mostly work on getting them set up in the proper environments and acquiring tools. i'm also the main sme since i've been working with this data for so long, so i help them apply their stuff in a meaningful way.

it now looks like i may be following my wife abroad and looking for a job and i'm wondering how much i should be scrambling to learn python before i go. as mentioned above, a lot of this is open source and easily searchable, but would someone looking at my resume throw it out if i don't have those coding skills? are there positions available that fit the brief description of my current job? python liaison anyone? been a loooong time since i've been in the job market

Python sure seems like the dominant language in the field, and undergrads aren't even being admitted into our DS programs at this point without some prior exposure (nb, I advise in a low-level capacity about stuff that I know basically jack shit about).

xp: There is a 100 days of Python course on Udemy that seems to be good.

In terms of jobs that might fit the 'lots of SQL bit of Python' try a Data Analyst position?

On the Udemy tip, don't let the sticker shock put you off -- they pretty regularly run sales so that a video course is < $20.

python liaison anyone?

This sounds a little like Project Management?

Yeah it’s project management. I used to run big data projects that relied on people, but here we are. Got into a little bit of agile development but now my whole team can handle that stuff. Still a decent market for project managers?

there was an online python-based data science boot camp a couple coworkers did a presentation on that seemed decent. I’ll see if I can track that down. I believe it was free and all the materials were available, but if you wanted to do it like a course there was a group chat and sessions you could join

OK!
I am trying to use this bandcamp downloader script: https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader
I am on a Mac with Sonoma.
I have a terminal open at the window where requirements.txt is located.
I type this: "python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt"
and it tells me "Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable" ... and then a couple hundred red lines starting with "ERROR: Invalid requirement: '{"payload":{"allShortcutsEnabled":false..."

never mind, I'm an idiot. The requirements.txt was filled with gibberish and I just had to replace it with what was on GitHub. Working now

btw this is a great tool for archiving your BC collection

I've never liked python's "it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" pattern, i feel it blurs the boundaries between normal control flow and error handling, but the other day I found a concrete reason to avoid it. We had a bug in a remote system, but we couldn't diagnose it because in our error handler we parsed the remote error message for json in a try block, which threw an exception if it wasn't json - this filled up the stack trace, obscuring the stack trace from the original bug.
