Python / Pandas – GUI for viewing a DataFrame or Matrix

There are 2 different ways how these widgets can access their data. The traditional way involves widgets which include internal containers for storing data. This approach is very intuitive, however, in many non-trivial applications, it leads to data synchronization issues. The second approach is model/view programming, in which widgets do not maintain internal data containers

PySpark converting a column of type ‘map’ to multiple columns in a dataframe

Input I have a column Parameters of type map of the form: >>> from pyspark.sql import SQLContext >>> sqlContext = SQLContext(sc) >>> d = [{'Parameters': {'foo': '1', 'bar': '2', 'baz': 'aaa'}}] >>> df = sqlContext.createDataFrame(d) >>> df.collect() [Row(Parameters={'foo': '1', 'bar': '2', 'baz': 'aaa'})] Output I want to reshape it in pyspark so that all the … Read more

soup.find("tagName", { "id" : "articlebody" }) Why does this NOT return the <div id=”articlebody”> … </div> tags and stuff in between? It returns nothing. And I know for a fact it exists because I’m staring right at it from soup.prettify() soup.find(“div”, { “id” : “articlebody” }) also does not work. (EDIT: I found that BeautifulSoup … Read more

How can I use psycopg2.extras in sqlalchemy?

I want to upload a huge number of entries (~600k) into a simple table in a PostgreSQL DB, with one foreign key, a timestamp and 3 float per each entry. However, it takes 60 ms per each entry to execute the core bulk insert described here, thus the whole execution would take 10 h. I have found out, that it is a performance issue of executemany() method, however it has been solved with the execute_values() method in psycopg2 2.7.

OpenMP and Python

I have experience in coding OpenMP for Shared Memory machines (in both C and FORTRAN) to carry out simple tasks like matrix addition, multiplication etc. (Just to see how it competes with LAPACK). I know OpenMP enough to carry out simple tasks without the need to look at documentation.
