How to build models for database interaction in Django in Python
The bridge between Python objects and a database relies on translating a class into a CREATE TABLE statement. Robust ORMs use descriptor objects and metaclasses for schema definition. A migration system then handles schema evolution by comparing models to the database and generating SQL changes.
Clustering and Spatial Analysis with scipy.cluster
Hierarchical clustering limits on large datasets due to O(n²) complexity. K-means scales better, especially with subsampling or scikit-learn’s MiniBatchKMeans for faster clustering. Memory optimization via float32 reduces footprint. Distributed computing with Dask enables large-scale spatial data processing.
How to find roots and optimize functions with scipy.optimize in Python
Optimization methods for finding thresholds. Binary search on monotone predicates, ternary search on unimodal functions. A comparison against brute force, gradient descent, simulated annealing, and genetic algorithms. Includes Python code examples for binary, ternary, and exponential search.
