This one day course is designed for data scientists and engineers who are already using Python and want to take their skills to the next level. At the end of this course the students will know how to structure their Python programs for improved reuse, how to build and use automated tests for their code, and how to analyze program performance. The class will use Python 3.

We start by covering ideas and concepts for improving overall software design . We then explore how these ideas can be applied to a small but realistic Python project. We will look at techniques and best-practices for working with Python projects in groups

Key topics

• Software design principles
• Managing dependencies in software
• Isolating development environments
• Packaging code for reuse
• Documentation and style
• Automated testing
• Profiling programs
• Strategies and techniques for optimization
• Maintaining invariants and constraints
• Creating command-line interfaces
• Sharing code with package servers

Course exercises
