Apache Spark is now widely used in many enterprises for building high-performance ETL and Machine Learning pipelines. If the users are already familiar with Python then PySpark provides a python API for using Apache Spark. When users work with PySpark they often use existing python and/or custom Python packages in their program to extend and complement Apache Spark’s functionality. Apache Spark provides several options to manage these dependencies.

In our last blog, we introduced OpenTelemetry Python v1.0.0 and walked you through instrumenting a Python application and install both the OpenTelemetry API and SDK.

Performance optimization is a basic need for software development. When it comes to optimizing app performance, tracking frequency, maintaining production, or perpetuation method calls, profilers play a vital role. Learn why Python cProfile is a recommended profiling interface and how it enhances your software performance.

Snyk Code now offers beta support for Python 2.x and 3.x projects. You do not have to install or update anything since we added the support to the backend engine and it is available instantly to be used. When a repository is scanned, you will see Python beta results showing up. If you cannot wait for a scheduled rescan, you can manually trigger a scan.

In this quick tutorial, we’ll show you how to build a system for facial recognition with Python. Learn more about how to detect and encode facial information — and find matches in search.

Since the OpenTelemetry Tracing Specification reached 1.0.0 — guaranteeing long-term stability for the tracing portion of the OpenTelemetry clients, the community has been busy working to get the SDKs and APIs for popular programming language ready to be GA. Next in our ‘Getting Started with OpenTelemetry’ Series, we’ll walk you through instrumenting a Python application and install both the OpenTelemetry API and SDK.

The Google Cloud Public Datasets program recently published the Python Package Index (PyPI) dataset into the marketplace. PyPI is the standard repository for Python packages. If you’ve written code in Python before, you’ve probably downloaded packages from PyPI using pip or pipenv. This dataset provides statistics for all package downloads, along with metadata for each distribution. You can learn more about the underlying data and table schemas here.
