Wouldn’t it be nice if we had uncertainty with a nice notation in IPython? The current method would be to use raw Python,
from uncertainties import ufloat
print(ufloat(12.34, 0.01))
12.340+/-0.010
Let’s use the infix library to make the notation easier. We’ll define |pm| to
mean +/-.
I’ve been working on a color addition to Plumbum for a little while, and I’d
like to share the basics of using it with you now. This library was originally
built around a special str subclass, but now is built on the new Styles
representation and is far more powerful than the first implementation. It safely
does nothing if you do not have a color-compatible systems (posix + tty
currently), but can be forced if need be. It is included with Plumbum, so you
don’t have to add a requirement for your scripts that is non-essential (as color
often is). It is integrated with plumbum.cli, too. Also, I’ve managed to
accelerate the color selection algorithms about 8x, allowing near game-like
speeds. (see the fullcolor.py example).
