Intro to Python with Data Visualization Adapted from newcoder.io/dataviz
Workshop Plan Introduction Setup your Machine Part 1: Parsing Data
Part 2: Graphing Data Part 3: Plotting on Google Maps
Introduction Project Goals Python Libraries
Project Parse data from a CSV file Create graphs Plot
on Google Maps
Goals Run & import a Python file Python’s data structures
Make simple graphs + maps
Python Libraries NumPy & matplotlib xml + Google Mapping
Follow along: http://newcoder.io/pdf
Setup your Machine Python git C compiler pip + virtualenv
virtualenvwrapper (Mac/Linux) Text Editor
Part 0: Setup Setup for Data Visualization
Setup the Project 1. Make project directory 2. Clone my
repository 3. Install dependencies
Break time
Part 1: parse.py Parsing our sample data
Part 1: parse.py 1. Module Setup 2. Attacking the Parse
Function 3. Using the Parse Function 4. Putting it into Action 5. Explore it further
Part 1.1: Module Setup 1. import 2. global variables
Part 1.2: Attacking 1. Scaffolding 2. Docstrings 3. Comments 4.
Code
Part 1.2.1: Scaffolding def parse(raw_file, delimiter): return parsed_data
Part 1.2.2: Doc Strings Documentation strings, or “docstrings”, are denoted
with triple quotes: """This function returns x."""
Part 1.2.2: Doc Strings def parse(raw_file, delimiter): """Parses a raw
CSV file to a JSON-like object.""" return parsed_data
Part 1.2.3: Comments def parse(raw_file, delimiter): ... # Open CSV
file # Read CSV file # Close CSV file # Build a data structure to return parsed_data return parsed_data
Part 1.2.4: Code def parse(raw_file, delimiter): ... # Open CSV
file opened_file = open(raw_file) ... return parsed_data
Part 1.2.4: Code def parse(raw_file, delimiter): ... # Read CSV
file csv_data = csv.reader(opened_file, delimiter=delimiter) ... return parsed_data
Part 1.2.4: Code def parse(raw_file, delimiter): ... # Setup an
empty list parsed_data = [] ... return parsed_data
Part 1.2.4: Code def parse(raw_file, delimiter): ... # Skip over
first line for headers fields = csv_data.next() ... return parsed_data
Part 1.2.4: Code def parse(raw_file, delimiter): ... # Iterate over
each row, zip field -> value for row in csv_data: parsed_data.append(dict(zip(fields, row))) ... return parsed_data
Part 1.2.4: Code def parse(raw_file, delimiter): ... # Close the
CSV file opened_file.close() return parsed_data
Part 1.3: Using parse() def main(): # Call parse() and
give parameters new_data = parse(MY_FILE, ",") # Let’s see what the data looks like! print new_data
Part 1.3: Using parse() def main(): # Call parse() and
give parameters new_data = parse(MY_FILE, ",") # Let’s see what the data looks like! print new_data if __name__ == "__main__": main()
Part 1.4: Action Follow along with me in my terminal
Part 1.5: Explore Follow along with me in my terminal

Part 2: graph.py Graphing our sample data
Part 2: graph.py 1. Module Setup 2. Review the Parse
Function 3. Visualize Functions: 3.1 Visualize Days 3.2 Visualize Type
Part 2.1: Module Setup 1. order of import statements 2.
global variables
Part 2.2: Review parse() 1. Copying over parse function 2.
Same MY_FILE variable 3. Remove comments - still readable (python FTW!!1!)
Part 2.3: Visualize 1. Visualize Days 2. Visualize Type
