Understanding the internals of Instance Creation in Python — In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into exactly what happens when we instantiate a new object in Python. With this knowledge in hand, we can exercise fine control over instance creation, which can allow us to customize Python objects in powerful ways. So let’s get started. So what…

Understanding what, when & why to use closures! — Closures are elegant Python constructs. In this article, we’ll learn about them, how to define a closure, why and when to use them. But before getting into what a closure is, we have to first understand what a nested function is and how scoping rules work for them. …

Python provides us the capability to execute a directory or a zip file directly. Something which is not widely known in the Python community. Therefore, this blog post aims to uncover that. Also, in the process, we’ll acquire few less-known python tricks up our sleeves. So let’s dig in. It…

Understanding various types of services in Kubernetes — Understanding networking in Kubernetes is paramount. Understanding Services can let us enable our pods to talk to each other and choose the right strategy based on the origin of traffic (either from within or outside the cluster) for our user-defined applications and services. This article aims to cover the significance…

Understanding Convolutional, Pooling and Fully Connected layers of CNN — Deep learning in computer vision has made rapid progress over a short period. Some of the applications where deep learning is used in computer vision include face recognition systems, self-driving cars, etc. This article introduces convolutional neural networks, also known as convnets, a type of deep-learning model universally used in…

Exploring some of the unfamiliar yet cool Python features — Python has lots of cool features such as first class functions, lambdas, generators, comprehensions etc. There are plenty of articles on the subject. However, there are some of the features in Python, which are generally not so commonly used. In this article, we’ve tried to summarize some of the these…

Understanding the single expression functions in Python — In this article, we’ll learn about the anonymous function, also known as lambda functions. We’ll try to decode as to why there’s a big fuss about lambdas, understand their syntax and when to use them. So Let’s jump right in. The lambda keyword in Python provides a shortcut for declaring…

Understanding Array Data Structures in Python — An array is a fundamental data structure available in most programming languages, and it has a wide range of uses across different algorithms. In this article, we’ll take a look at less known array implementation in Python that only use core language features that’s included in Python standard library. We’ll…

Tour of various Dictionaries in Python — In Python, dictionaries (dicts) are a central data structure. Dicts store an arbitrary number of objects, each identified by a unique dictionary key. Dictionaries are also often called maps, hashmaps, lookup tables, or associative arrays. …
