Linear Programming, PySimpleGUI, and More | Real Python Podcast #17

Are you familiar with linear programming, and how it can be used to solve resource optimization problems? Would you like to free your Python code from a clunky command line and start making convenient graphical interfaces for your users? This week on the show, David Amos is back with another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

David talks about a recent Real Python article about linear programming in Python. We discuss an article titled "PySimpleGUI: The Simple Way to Create a GUI With Python." We also cover several other articles and projects from the Python community including: Python's reduce() function, flaws in the pickle module, advanced pytest techniques, and how to trick a neural network.
