Making Your Notebook Interactive and Using Python's Assert | Real Python Podcast #102

Would you like to build visualizations that allow your audience to play with the data? How do you effectively use Python's assert statement during development? This week on the show, Christopher Trudeau is here, and he's brought another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects. 👉 Links from the show: https://realpython.com/podcasts/rpp/102/ We talk about an article that shows how to build interactive visualizations with pandas, seaborn and ipywidgets. These widgets allow you to add sliders, buttons, and dropdown menus to your Jupyter Notebooks. Christopher shares a Real Python article titled "Python's Assert: Debug and Test Your Code Like a Pro". It covers how to use `assert` statements to document, debug, and test code while in development. We cover several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, code review guidelines for data science teams, a project to manage your to-do lists using Python and Django, a Python 4 dream list, a static site generator based on Django, and a book of practical Python projects.
