FWIW, I mispronouced this and was aiming for something akin to "centaprogramming" with "cent" meaning a hundred or so participants.
That said, "antenna" seems to be a better fit :-)

One other thought: Twitter has a tight limit on the length of a tweet. Posted code examples have little space for comments, so it isn't reasonable to critique a snippet like it was production code.
I frequently get PEP 8 snipes at tweeted code fragments. That misses the point.

FYI, we've had default arguments since Python in typing.NamedTuple:
class Account(NamedTuple):
owner_name: str
account_num: int
balance: float = 0.0

Also note that as of Python 3.7, we have a cleaner, documented way to have named tuple default arguments:
Account = namedtuple('Account', ['owner_name', 'acct_num', 'balance'], defaults=[0.0])

@hohoroboto I think you missed the point. GPS was noting the code needed a comment, not that it was wrong.
FWIW, all default arguments in Python, not just namedtuple, are shared across instances. It is a user responsibility to not choose a mutable default argument.

When her talk video comes out, it will definitely be worth seeing. The various forms of the term are defined in a way that makes clear sense to those with a data science or statistical bent. Issues with non-representative data samples are not a new or unknown problem.

Her case study is debugging memory usage on a running Python process. Pretty cool.

I just saw her stop a running Python program, inspect it, capture its GIL, insert new code, return the GIL, and let it continue running.
And she did all with "You don't even need to know C to do it".

I'm curious. Did your Python skills and credentials help in landing the new position?

#Python student question of the day: "How do I get the subprocess module to type in my sudo password when running commands?"
What answer would you give?
