Python Hub Weekly Digest for 2025-02-23
This week in Python, the spotlight was on "ML by Hand," a Python-based machine learning library built from scratch for educational purposes. DuckDB, a lightweight database that allows running SQL queries directly on Pandas DataFrames, was also introduced. In articles, the focus was on Django templates and the newly available official Django MongoDB Backend. The projects of the week included Autiobooks, which converts epubs to audiobooks, and IntentGuard, a Python library for verifying code properties using natural language assertions. Have a great week and happy coding!
