Packaging Data Analyses & Using pandas GroupBy | Real Python Podcast
What are the best practices for organizing data analysis projects in Python? What are the advantages of a more package-centric approach to data science? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

We discuss Joshua Cook's recent article "How I Use Python to Organize My Data Analyses." The article covers how his process for building data analysis projects has evolved and now incorporates modern Python packaging techniques.
Christopher shares his recent video course on grouping real-world data with pandas. The course offers a quick refresher before digging into how to use pandas GroupBy to manipulate, transform, and summarize data.
We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, working with JSON data in Python, running an Asyncio event loop in a separate thread, knowing the why behind a system's code, a retro game engine for Python, and a project for vendorizing packages from PyPI.
