Flexibility is at the same time both one of Python’s biggest strengths and weaknesses. Most programming languages are quite strict with data types and syntax. But in Python, all of these areas and more can almost flow like water. Various elements within Python can be easily or even automatically converted to meet your needs. This […]
About the Author: Jack Sanderson is a software engineer with a degree from a leading US technical university and experience at two machine learning startups. His passions include streamlining the repetitive aspects of database engineering and IT operations, where he uses his expertise in Python and DevOps to simplify and scale production data pipelines. He's a regular speaker at Python user conferences, championing the growth of the language within the data engineering community. When he's not debugging code or explaining some weird Python error to one of his teammates, he can be found volunteering at the local pet shelter or mountain biking in foreign countries. He asks that you always spay or neuter your pet and of course, never let errors pass silently (unless explicitly silenced).
How to Fix the Python Error: SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument
Python is a language with a lot of flexibility and a distinct lack of firm restrictions. The language’s interpreter does, of course, impose some syntactical limitations. But for the most part, you’re free to form your code around personal preferences. There are some surprising caveats to that rule though. And some, like the “SyntaxError: positional […]
How To Use the Python Shebang Interpreter Directive
Python is an indisputably popular programming language for programmers who want to create code as quickly and efficiently as possible. However, programmers are sometimes at a loss when it comes to offering similar benefits to end-users. How exactly do you go about shipping Python code in a manner that’s easy to use for the average […]
How to Fix the Python Error: valueerror could not convert string to float
Python is known and loved for many of its most notable attributes. But one of the most famous is the language’s flexibility. You can manipulate data types and variables alike with an unprecedented level of ease when compared to many other programming languages. However, that flexibility can cause occasional issues for developers. And that’s often […]
How to Fix the Python Error: your cpu supports instructions that this tensorflow binary was not compiled to use: avx2
When people first start out with machine learning, AI, and robotics they often expect to find obscure and difficult to use programming languages. But in reality, Python is one of the more common languages for all of those tasks. But leveraging Python in that way isn’t always an easy matter. Machine learning is much closer […]
How to Fix the Python Error: keyerror 0
Python’s data types are one of its most important features. Most languages require 3rd party additions to handle even a portion of Python’s inherent flexibility with data types. Python’s data handling is a rare combination of power and ease of use that’s usually a joy to use. However, there’s really no such thing as a […]
How to Fix the Python Error: typeerror: not all arguments converted during string formatting
Python’s data types are one of the most important parts of the programming language. You can almost think of them as analogous to the nouns in a spoken language. But just as you can’t pair every verb with every noun in English, you can’t pair every data type with a function, operation, or operator. If […]
How to Fix the Python Error: python list object is not callable
Python provides users with a truly impressive range of options. The various data types and objects are often flexible in ways that few other languages can match. In fact, you’ll often find a wide range of built-in functionality within the most commonly used parts of the language. However, while Python is flexible there are still […]
How to Fix the Python Error: dataframe object is not callable
Python’s expandability is one of the language’s biggest selling points. Python in its default state might not have the full level of functionality seen in other more specialized programming systems. However, it’s almost a given that 3rd party libraries can add any missing functionality. This is especially true for options related to advanced math and […]
How to Fix the Python Error: 'builtin_function_or_method' object is not subscriptable
The Python language combines a clean programming syntax that uses formatting as programming logic with a truly incredible scope. The language has a vast ocean of 3rd party libraries. But even the default Python standard library is truly immense when compared to most other programming languages. But this scope does have a downside, especially when […]
