Looping With enumerate() and Python GUIs With PyQt | Real Python Podcast #38

If you're coming to Python from a different language, you may not know about a useful tool for working with loops, Python's built-in enumerate function. This week on the show, David Amos is here, and he has brought another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

Along with the Real Python article covering the details of the enumerate function, we also talk about another article about constructing Python graphical user interface elements in PyQt.

David shares a couple of resources for data scientists, including an article about skills not taught in data science boot camps, and a project for creating synthetic data.

We also cover several other articles and projects from the Python community including, an update about youtubedl, hunting for malicious packages on PyPI, using Python's bisect module, 73 examples to help you master f-strings, and game programming in Jupyter notebooks.
