" Dynamic data structures and first-class citizens: Python features that can make data analysis more flexible and powerful"





Python is an open-source, multi-paradigm, interpreted programming language that can be used in everything from back-end processes like webservices to file and data management, visualization, analysis, and modeling.  It works great as a traditional procedural language, and in that mode, can do all the atmospheric and oceanic sciences work we desire.  But if we use just a few more of its features---dynamic data structures like dictionaries and how any object (even functions) have the same status---we can make our data analysis code substantially more flexible and powerful.  In this talk/tutorial, we provide an example of such data analysis code and also briefly discuss implications for how models are constructed.
