Impractical Python Projects. L. Vaughan

Welcome to Impractical Python Projects! Here, you’ll use the Python programming language to explore Mars, Jupiter, and the farthest reaches of the galaxy; the souls of poets; the world of high finance; the underworld of espionage and vote tampering; the trickery of game shows; and more. You’ll use techniques such as Markov chain analysis to write haiku, Monte Carlo simulation to model financial markets, image stacking to improve your astrophotography, and genetic algorithms to breed an army of gigantic rats, all while gaining experience with modules like pygame, Pylint, pydocstyle, tkinter, python-docx, matplotlib, and pillow. And most of all, you’ll have fun.
