How do you quickly get an understanding of what’s inside a new set of data? How can you share an exploratory data analysis with your team? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week with another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects.

We discuss a recent Real Python tutorial about YData Profiling. This library lets you quickly generate an exploratory data analysis (EDA) report with a few lines of code. The report provides column-level analysis, visualizations, and summary statistics that can be exported to HTML to share with others.

We cover an article by Trey Hunner about building your own Python comprehensions. Python includes list, dictionary, and set comprehensions. But what if you want to create ones for other collections, such as a tuple, frozenset, or a Counter?

We also share other articles and projects from the Python community, including a collection of recent releases and PEPs, using the Django ORM as a standalone module, a history of attempts to eliminate programmers, a discussion of bad managers, a modern Python project template, and a CLI to summarize code size by language.
