Introduction At some point in your software development path, you’ll have to convert files from one format to another. DOCX (used by Microsoft Word) is a pretty common file format for a lot of people to use. And sometimes, we’d like to convert Word Documents into HTML. This can easily be achieved via the Mammoth package. It’s an easy, efficient, and fast library used to convert DOCX files to HTML. In this article, we’ll learn how to use Mammoth in […]

Introduction The print() function in Python appends a newline to the output when displayed on the tty (teletypewriter A.K.A the terminal). When you don’t want your message displayed with newlines or with spaces, how can you change the behavior of print()? This can easily be achieved by altering the default values of the sep and end parameters of the print() function. Printing Without a Newline Until Python version 2.x, print was a reserved keyword that acts as a special statement. […]

Introduction Splitting strings and lists are common programming activities in Python and other languages. Sometimes we have to split our data in peculiar ways, but more commonly – into even chunks. The language does not have a built-in function to do this and in this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to split a list into even chunks in Python. For most cases, you can get by using generators: def chunk_using_generators(lst, n): for i in range(0, len(lst), n): yield […]

Introduction Every Machine Learning enthusiast has a dream of building/working on a cool project, isn’t it? Mere understandings of the theory aren’t enough, you need to work on projects, try to deploy them, and learn from them. Moreover, working on specific domains like NLP gives you wide opportunities and problem statements to explore. Through this article, I wish to introduce you to an amazing project, the Language Detection model using Natural Language Processing. This will take you through a real-world […]

Building projects is arguably one of the more approachable and effective ways of learning to program. Real projects require you to apply different and varied coding skills. They also encourage you to research topics that pop up as you’re solving problems in the development process. In this tutorial, you’ll create a contact book application with Python, PyQt, and SQLite. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to: Create a graphical user interface (GUI) for your contact book application using Python and […]

Introduction Pandas is an extremely popular data manipulation and analysis library. It’s the go-to tool for loading in and analyzing datasets for many. Correctly sorting data is a crucial element of many tasks regarding data analysis. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to sort a Pandas DataFrame by date. Let’s start off with making a simple DataFrame with a few dates: import pandas as pd data = {‘Name’:[“John”, “Paul”, “Dhilan”, “Bob”, “Henry”], ‘Date of Birth’: [“01/06/86”, “05/10/77”, […]
Read moreDjango provides tools for both authentication and authorization. Django view authorization is typically done with decorators. This course will show you how to use these view decorators to enforce authorized viewing of pages in your Django site. By the end of this course you’ll know how to: Use HttpRequest and HttpRequest.user objects Authenticate and authorize users Differentiate between regular, staff, and admin users Secure a view with the @login_required decorator Restrict a view to different roles with the @user_passes_test decorator […]

Introduction In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to check if a list contains an element or value in Python. We’ll use a list of strings, containing a few animals: animals = [‘Dog’, ‘Cat’, ‘Bird’, ‘Fish’] Check if List Contains Element With for Loop A simple and rudimentary method to check if a list contains an element is looping through it, and checking if the item we’re on matches the one we’re looking for. Let’s use a for […]
