Sending Emails in Python — Tutorial with Code Examples
What do you need to send an email with Python? Some basic programming and web knowledge along with the elementary Python skills. I assume you’ve already had a web app built with this language and now you need to extend its functionality with notifications or other emails sending.
[...]
Sending multiple emails to different recipients and making them personal is the special thing about emails in Python.
To add several more recipients, you can just type their addresses in separated by a comma, add Cc and Bcc. But if you work with a bulk email sending, Python will save you with loops.
One of the options is to create a database in a CSV format (we assume it is saved to the same folder as your Python script).
We often see our names in transactional or even promotional examples. Here is how we can make it with Python.

Binning Data with Pandas qcut and cut
When dealing with continuous numeric data, it is often helpful to bin the data into multiple buckets for further analysis. There are several different terms for binning including bucketing, discrete binning, discretization or quantization. Pandas supports these approaches using the cut and qcut functions. This article will briefly describe why you may want to bin your data and how to use the pandas functions to convert continuous data to a set of discrete buckets. Like many pandas functions, cut and qcut may seem simple but there is a lot of capability packed into those functions. Even for more experience users, I think you will learn a couple of tricks that will be useful for your own analysis.
[...]
The concept of breaking continuous values into discrete bins is relatively straightforward to understand and is a useful concept in real world analysis. Fortunately, pandas provides the cut and qcut functions to make this as simple or complex as you need it to be. I hope this article proves useful in understanding these pandas functions. Please feel free to comment below if you have any questions.

Analysing music habits with Spotify API and Python
I’m using Spotify since 2013 as the main source of music, and back at that time the app automatically created a playlist for songs that I liked from artists’ radios. By innertion I’m still using the playlist to save songs that I like. As the playlist became a bit big and a bit old (6 years, huh), I’ve decided to try to analyze it.

Python IDEs and Code Editors
A code editor is a tool that is used to write and edit code. They are usually lightweight and can be great for learning. However, once your program gets larger, you need to test and debug your code, that's where IDEs come in.
An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) understand your code much better than a text editor. It usually provides features such as build automation, code linting, testing and debugging. This can significantly speed up your work. The downside is that IDEs can be complicated to use.

Announcing Anaconda Distribution 2019.10
As there were some significant changes in the previous Anaconda Distribution 2019.07 installers, this release focuses on polishing up rough edges in that release and bringing all the packages up to date with the latest available in repo.anaconda.com. This means many key packages are updated including Numpy, Scipy, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib, Pandas, Jupyter Notebook, and many more. As many of the package updates have addressed Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), it is important to update to the latest.
Another key change since the last release is that Apple released macOS version 10.15 – Catalina. Unfortunately, this was a breaking release for previous versions of Anaconda that used the pkg installer. The Anaconda Distribution 2019.10 installers address the issues and should install without trouble on macOS Catalina. If you would rather repair your current Anaconda installation, please check out this blog post for tips.

Apple's Numbers and the All-in-One CSV export
The hierarchical form requires a number of generator functions for Sheet-from-CSV, Table-from-CSV, and Row-from-CSV. Each of these works with a single underlying iterator over the source file and a fairly complex hand-off of state. If we only use the sheet iterator, the tables and rows are skipped. If we use the table within a sheet, the first table name comes from the header that started a sheet; the table names come from distinct headers until the sheet name changes.
The table-within-sheet iteration is very tricky. The first table is a simple yield of information gathered by the sheet iterator. Any subsequent tables, however, may be based one one of two conditions: either no rows have been consumed, in which case the table iterator consumes (and ignores) rows; or, all the rows of the table have been consumed and the current row is another "sheet: table" header.

Formatting NFL data for doing data science with Python
No matter what medium of content you consume these days (podcasts, articles, tweets, etc.), you'll probably come across some reference to data. Whether it's to back up a talking point or put a meta-view on how data is everywhere, data and its analysis are in high demand.
As a programmer, I've found data science to be more comparable to wizardry than an exact science. I've coveted the ability to get ahold of raw data and glean something useful and concrete from it. What a useful talent!

[llvm-dev] GitHub Migration Schedule and Plans
Hi, We're less than 2 weeks away from the developer meeting, so I wanted to give an update on the GitHub migration and what's (hopefully) going to happen during the developer meeting. Everyone who has added their information to the github-usernames.txt file in SVN before today should have received an invite to become a collaborator on the llvm-project repository. If you did not receive an invite and think you should have, please contact me off-list. I will continue to monitor the file for new updates and periodically send out new batches of invites. There is still some ongoing work to get the buildbots ready and the mailing lists ready, but we are optimistic that the work will be done in time. The team at GitHub has finished implementing the "Require Linear History" branch protection that we requested. The feature is in beta and currently enabled in the llvm-project repository. This means that we will have the option to commit directly via git, in addition to using the git-llvm script. A patch that updates git-llvm to push to git instead of svn can be found here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D67772. You should be able to test it out on your own fork of the llvm-project repository. The current plan is to begin the final migration steps on the evening (PDT) of October 21. Here is what will happen: 1. Make SVN read-only. 2. Turn-off the SVN->git update process. 3. Commit the new git-llvm script directly to github. 4. Grant all contributors write access to the repository. 5. Email lists announcing that the migration is complete. Once the migration is complete, if you run into any issues, please file a bug, and mark it as a blocker for the github metabug PR39393. If you have any questions or think I am missing something, please let me know. Thanks, Tom

Excellent Free Books to Learn Erlang
Erlang is a general-purpose, concurrent, declarative, functional programming language and runtime environment developed by Ericsson, a Swedish multinational provider of communications technology and services. Erlang is dynamically typed and has a pattern matching syntax. The language solves difficult problems inherent in parallel, concurrent environments. It uses sets of parallel supervised processes, not a single sequential process as found in most programming languages.
Erlang was created in 1986 at the Ellemtel Telecommunication Systems Laboratories for telecommunication systems. The objective was to build a simple and efficient programming language resilient large-scale concurrent industrial applications.
Besides telecommunication systems and applications and other large industrial real-time systems, Erlang is particularly suitable for servers for internet applications, e-commerce, and networked database applications. The versatility of the language is, in part, due to its extensive collection of libraries.
