Dear all,
following up on Bartosz's recent email about his "advanced numpy"
material[1], here is some additional material from the same
"SWC-inspired" advanced Python workshop[2]: I had the pleasure to
present a lesson on "testing, debugging, profiling"[3], rendered here to
HTML with the standard SWC template[4].
As for Bartosz, the workshop was the first and so far only time that I
presented this content. In about 2h45 I covered most of it, but was
running out of time in the end so that the participants unfortunately
did not have the time to do the exercises for the profiling part. The
general feedback for the lesson was positive and the content considered
useful -- comments, pull requests, etc. are more than welcome!
The first part on testing is heavily based on Katy Huff's
"python-testing" lesson[5] (using pytest instead of nose and numpy
arrays instead of lists), although considerably shorter and therefore
not covering as many testing-related topics. The sections on debugging
and profiling drew inspiration from the corresponding sections in the
scipy lecture notes[6], written by Gaël Varoquaux.
Best,
Marcel
