Stop python debugger exactly on the failing loop iteration

This post is for ipdb users.

Is this case familiar for you?:
  • Write a break point on your code
  • Go into a loop
  • Start pressing 'c' and 'n' until you found the iteration that is failing.
It can works, but you can only do this ... one or two times maybe??
If you need to this frequently, this method doesn't works and you need another tool, but .... what's the tool I need?

You need launch_ipdb_on_exception


...
...

from ipdb import launch_ipdb_on_exception

with launch_ipdb_on_exception():
    for i in range(9):
        print(i)
        if i==4:
            raise Exception('Debug time!')

... # Output
0
1
2
3
4
Exception('Debug time!',)
> <ipython-input-1-4f44dca149ad>(7)<module>()
      5         print(i)
      6         if i==4:
----> 7             raise Exception('Debug time!')

ipdb> i  # Note ipdb console!!
4
ipdb> c  # Continues the execution

In [2]: i  # Ipython console again
Out[2]: 4

In [3]: 

Doing this your code will stop exactly on the iteration that's failing.

Stop measuring time with time.clock() in Python3

If we read the time.clock() documentation ( https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.clock): Deprecated since version 3.3: The behaviour of this function depends on the platform: use perf_counter() or process_time() instead, depending on your requirements, to have a well defined behaviour. I use time.perf_counter, but feel free to use time.process_time if fits for your requirements. The main difference they have are: time.perf_counter() It does include time elapsed during sleep and is system-wide. time.process_time() It does not include time elapsed during sleep. It is process-wide by definition.

Polynomial regression using python

We are going to learn how to create a polynomial regression and make a prediction over a future value using python. The data set have been fetched from INE (national statistics institute) , that data is the EPA ( active population survey ), that tell us the national total (Spain), both genders. 16 and over are unemployed ( in thousands ). Example data: label serie rate 0 2002T1 0 2152.8 1 2002T2 1 2103.3 2 2002T3 2 2196.0 3 2002T4 3 2232.4 4 2003T1 4 2328.5 Data CSV can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fwvAZe7lah5DX8-DDEpmfeUDYQhKcfzG/view?usp=sharing Lets see how looks that data: Fine, as we can see the data describe a curve, so its for that because we want to use a polynomial regression. To try to approximate that curve we will use a grade 2 polynomial or...

Use django ORM standalone within your nameko micro-services

Learning about micro services with python, I found a great tool named nameko . https://www.nameko.io/ Nameko is a Python framework to build microservices that doesn't care in concrete technologies you will use within your project. To allow that microservices to work with a database, you can install into your project a wide variety of third parties, like SQLAlchemy (just like any other). To have an easy way to communicate with the database and keep track of the changes made to the models, I chose Django: I'm just learning about microservices and I want to keep focused on that. Easy to use, Django is a reliable web framework, have a powerful and well known ORM. Also using Django we will have many of the different functionalities that this framework provide. To make all this magic to work together, I developed a python package that allow you to use Django as a Nameko injected dependency: https://pypi.org/project/django-nameko-standalone/ You can found the source ...
