In Python, enums are a powerful way of restricting a variable to a set of constants, and can help reduce errors over strings. At Uncountable, we deal with a lot of different data types, and we’ll often use an enum to define every possible format that a piece of data can take on. For example, a description of the format for an individual datatype might look like:
This “quantity type” information about the format of data will often need to be stored…

One weird trick for pain-free performance profiling
#Uncountable is hiring! To help us accelerate the future of materials development, check out our Careers page.
Oway of analyzing the performance of any given function or program is to use profilers during its execution. Profilers can help us understand timing, memory usage, and other pertinent information about code. The key to using profilers is to determine which portion of the code is slow or computationally expensive and assist the process of catching errors for optimization.
