| | | | How I Beat the Berlin Rental Market With a Python Script
Learn how one Python developer used a Python script to analyze the housing market in Berlin and predict when a property would be sold or when the price would be decreased. While the article doesn’t include a lot of technical details, it’s a great case study of how Python, its rich ecosystem, and a little creativity can turn solving a banal problem — like searching for a new house in a crowded market — into something fun and intellectually rewarding!

Loading SQL Data Into Pandas Without Running Out of Memory
If you need to load a bunch of SQL query results into a Pandas DataFrame, then you might run into a problem if there are enough rows in the SQL query’s results: it won’t fit in RAM. Panda’s read_sql() function has a batching option, but it loads all of the data into memory, too. So, how do you handle larger-than-memory queries with Pandas? This article will show you how!

The Weird Walrus
Python 3.8 introduced the world to the “walrus” operator, which is a colloquial term for the := operator used in the new assignment expressions. The expression a := 2 does two things: it assigns the value 2 to the name a and then returns the value 2. There’s something a little weird with assignment expressions, though. Try to execute a := 2 in a REPL and you’ll get a SyntaxError. But wrap the expression in parentheses (a := 2) and everything works like a charm. What? Why?

Writing Makefiles for Python Projects
Makefiles provide an entry point for project contributors to build, test, and deploy projects with simplified commands. Often, Makefiles in Python projects are written so that they expect a virtual environment to be activated before invoking any of the make targets. Read this article to see one way of getting around this, then check out this discussion for even more Makefile ideas.

Using %autoreload to Speed Up IPython and Jupyter Work
One of the problems with working with a shell or notebook is that you have to restart the kernel before any changes made to an imported module or package are recognized. Thanks to IPython’s %autoreload magic, though, you don’t have to let kernel restarts slow down your development.
