Peter Wang has been pushing Python forward since the early days of its data science roots. We're lucky to have him back on the show. We're going to talk about the Anaconda Toolbox for Excel as well as many other trends and topics that are hot in the Python space right now. I'm sure you'll enjoy listening to the two of us exchanging our takes on the topics and trends.

There has been a lot of changes in the low-level Python space these days. The biggest has to be how many projects have rewritten core performance-intensive sections in Rust. Or even the wholesale adoption of Rust for newer projects such as uv and ruff. On this episode, we dive into the tools and workflow needed to build these portions of Python apps in Rust with David Seddon and Samuel Colvin.

If you are a .NET developer or work in a place that has some of those folks, wouldn't it be great to fully leverage the entirety of PyPI with it's almost 600,000 packages inside your .NET code? But how would you do this? Previous efforts have let you write Python syntax but using the full libraries (especially the C-based ones) has been out of reach, until CSnakes. This project by Anthony Shaw and Aaron Powell unlocks some pretty serious integration between the two languages. We have them both here on the show today to tell us all about it.

Let's say you want to create a web app and you know Python really well. Your first thought might be Flask or Django or even FastAPI? All good choices but there is a lot to get a full web app into production. The framework we'll talk about today, Reflex, allows you to just write Python code and it turns it into a full web app running FastAPI, NextJS, React and more plus it handles the deployment for you. It's a cool idea. Let's talk to Elvis Kahoro and Nikhil Rao from Reflex.dev.

Do you struggle to make sure your code is always correct before you check it in? What about your team members' code? That one person who never wants to run the linter? Tired of dealing with tons of conflicts and spurious git changes? You need git pre-commit hooks. We're lucky to have Stefanie Molin on this episode who has done a bunch of writing and teaching of git hooks.

Hynek has been writing and speaking on some of the most significant topics in the Python space and I've enjoyed his takes. So I invited him on the show to share them with all of us. This episode really epitomizes one of the reasons I launched Talk Python 9 years ago. It's as if we run into each other at a bar during a conference and I ask Hynek, "So what are your thoughts on ..." and we dive down the rabbit hole for an hour. I hope you enjoy it.

If you work in data science, you definitely know about data frame libraries. Pandas is certainly the most popular, but there are others such as cuDF, Modin, Polars, Dask, and more. They are all similar but definitely not the same APIs and Polars is quite different. But here's the problem. If you want to write a library that is for users of more than one of these data frame frameworks, how do you do that? Or if you want to leave open the possibility of changing yours after the app is built, same problem. That's the problem that Narwhals solves. We have Marco Gorelli on the show to tell us all about it.

You're about to launch your new app or API, or even just a big refactor of your current project. Will it stand up and deliver when you put it into production or when that big promotion goes live? Or will it wither and collapse? How would you know? Well you would test that of course. We have Anthony Shaw back on the podcast to dive into a wide range of tools and techniques for performance and loading testing of web apps.

Do you have kids? Maybe nieces and nephews? Or maybe you work in a school environment? Maybe it's just friend's who know you're a programmer and ask about how they should go about introducing programming concepts with them. Anna-Lena Popkes is back on the show to share her research on when and how to teach kids programming. We spend the second half of the episode talking about concrete apps and toys you might consider for each age group. Plus, some of these things are fun for adults too. ;)

Every year the core developers meet to discuss and propose the major changes and trends in Python itself. This invite-only conference of about 50 people happens inside PyCon in the US. Because it's private, we rarely get detailed looks inside this event. On this episode, we have Seth Michael Larson here to give us his account of the sessions and proposals. It's a unique look into the zeitgeist of CPython.

Python performance has come a long way in recent times. And it's often the data scientists, with their computational algorithms and large quantities of data, who care the most about this form of performance. It's great to have Stan Seibert back on the show to talk about Python's performance for data scientists. We cover a wide range of tools and techniques that will be valuable for many Python developers and data scientists.

If you want to get better at something, often times the path is pretty clear. If you get better at swimming, you go to the pool and practice your strokes and put in time doing the laps. If you want to get better at mountain biking, hit the trails and work on drills focusing on different aspects of riding. You can do the same for programming. Reuven Lerner is back on the podcast to talk about his book Pandas Workout. We dive into strategies for learning Pandas and Python as well as some of his workout exercises.
