Need to show students how a 2-D linear transformation warps space?

My PlotVec Python library has two functions just for this purpose: https://t.co/PJ8qd9HSbo

If you want an easy way to explore nested data structures, here is the python module florida. You can print off a schema of a dictionary (dict2schema). You can also get the code necessary to index specific keys in that dictionary (target2index). Nothing fancy, but maybe helpful to others?

pip install florida

I finally got around to adding some basic documentation to my PlotVec library, which simplifies the process of making attractive vector plots in Python:

Thanks to @maartenbreddels and @trevmanz, it's now possible to write Jupyter widgets in react! 🎉
E.g. this QR Code scanner in just 10 lines.
