Today we explore the wild world of Python deployment with my friend, Calvin Hendryx-Parker from Six Feet Up. We’ll tackle some of the biggest challenges in taking a Python app from “it works on my machine” to production, covering inconsistent environments, conflicting dependencies, and sneaky security pitfalls. Along the way, Calvin shares how containerization with Docker and Kubernetes can both simplify and complicate deployments, especially for smaller teams. Finally, we’ll introduce Scaf, a

2025/02/24

On this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jeff Boeing, an assistant professor at the University of Southern California whose research spans urban planning, spatial analysis, and data science. We explore why OpenStreetMap is such a powerful source of global map data—and how Jeff’s Python library, OSMnx, makes that data easier to download, model, and visualize. Along the way, we talk about what shapes city streets around the world, how urban design influences everything from daily commutes to disaster

#494: Update on Flet: Python + Flutter UIs

Talk Python To Me ·

2025/02/21

As Python developers, we're incredibly lucky to have over half a million packages that we can use to build our applications with over at PyPI. However, when it comes to choosing a UI framework, the options get narrowed down very quickly. Intersect those choices with the ones that work on mobile, and you have a very short list. Flutter is a UI framework for building desktop and mobile applications, and is in fact the one that we used to build the Talk Python courses app, you'd find at

#487: Building Rust Extensions for Python

Talk Python To Me ·

2024/12/01

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.Episode sponsors Posit Data Citizens Podcast Talk Python Courses Links from the show Samuel Colvin:

#486: CSnakes: Embed Python code in .NET

2024/11/22

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

2024/10/29

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.Episode

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.

#480: Ahoy, Narwhals are bridging the data science APIs

Talk Python To Me ·

2024/10/09

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

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.
