pandas – allows incredibly useful data structures (mainly dataframes, think data tables in Excel spreadsheets on steroids) and data processing capability on those structures.You will also need the following Python packages:

#RUN A PYTHON FILE IN ANACONDA PROMPT INSTALL#

You’ll obviously need to install some ‘build’ of Python. This is because there are too many packages to be called all of the time without blowing your computer’s working memory. Once installed, you have to call each package in files that you need it.

Like most open-source software, Python is built around a base language (Python) and additional libraries/packages written by insanely smart people in universities and businesses around the world. And no, you don’t have to know what Object-Orientated Programming means, much less do it. As long as it gets the job done it’s fine.

The hard part is being able to conceptualize what you need.ĭon’t worry about the programming snobs telling you your code needs to be Pythonic. You’re just writing the functions you need to do the job you want. It doesn’t take long before you’ll be hooked on more complex stuff.Īlso, don’t think of it as coding or programming in the sense of writing professional programmer quality code for commercial use. Personally, we banned ourselves from using Excel for even the simplest calculations and forced ourselves to use Python. Programming might be a little more intimidating initially, but the rewards are great if you can break your Excel addiction. Code, like a good writing, should have a large degree of empathy for the reader. When we say well written we mean readable and easy to follow by the person reading it after you.

well written code/instructions are far easier to follow than playing ‘trace precedents’ tag in Excel.

the amount and complexity of the calculations you can do on very large data sets with a few simple commands is much greater than Excel is capable of and.

The downside is that it’s not as easy to install as many commercial packages and every now and again you have to poke and prod the code a bit to find the right way to do something.ĭon’t think you need more than Excel? There are two main advantage to moving from Excel to a coding-based method: If you have a problem, chances are someone else has already had it, solved it and posted it on the internet. For example, at the time of writing Stack Overflow had over 1.25 million questions on Python, all answered by very smart people for no reward other than a bit of prestige and goodwill. There is an incredible amount of free support on the internet that is more specific and searchable than a users manualwritten as an afterthought.

It also can be used for so many things that knowing how to use it gives you a breadth of uses.Īnd yes it’s named after Monty Python – computer programmers will be computer programmers! It’s much closer to common-use language than other programming languages out there. Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projectsĪll you need to know is that Python trades off a bit of performance (speed) for a large increase in readability. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python’s design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace. Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. What is Python? According to the boilerplate text: If anything extra is required for anything we post we’ll let you know how to install it at the time.

OK, maybe not the only software you’ll ever need, but only maybe.Īt least it’s all you need to implement any Practical Economics analysis provided on this blog.
