Create 2D geographical plots using matplotlib and basemap
In this post I'll talk about some basic 2D geographical plotting workflows, using the `matplotlib` and `basemap` packages. Then we cover some common issues that are worth your attention when creating such plots.
Define a multi-file class using mixin
Mixins are like "plugins" to classes, they can be used to extend the functionality of a class in a more modular manner.
Lazy evaluation and memoization in Python computations
We use memoization to cache the computed
results to help speed up the computation of Fibonacci numbers, and
lazy evaluation to create a generator that outputs new Fibonacci
numbers indefinitely.
Debugging Python using pdb and pdbrc
`pdb` is the built-in debugger of Python. With the **REPL** (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop) Python interpretor, the `pdb` debugger can be extremely helpful in the initial development, and of cause, the debugging stages of your project.
Python Programming
This category is not intended to be a comprehensive tutorial to Python, but a collection of tips, helpful code snippets and some Python projects that I think might be worth sharing.
