🕒 20:30–21:30
🏷️ Labels: Python, Package Management, File Handling, Jupyter Notebooks, Geospatial Analysis
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal:
The session aimed to enhance Python scripts by implementing dynamic package management and improving file handling techniques.
Key Activities:
- Developed code snippets for automatic installation of missing Python modules using try/except blocks to handle
ModuleNotFoundError. - Implemented dynamic installation for ‘pyunpack’ and ‘patool’ packages to ensure necessary dependencies are available.
- Enhanced file management by checking for extraction directory existence and correcting path formations.
- Addressed directory name discrepancies using
os.path.isdir()for accurate directory checks. - Interpreted Jupyter notebooks for data download and geospatial analysis using
geopandas. - Provided guides for processing census geometries and managing geospatial data workflows.
Achievements:
- Successfully automated Python package management and improved file handling processes.
- Clarified the structure and functionality of Jupyter notebook cells for geospatial data analysis.
Pending Tasks:
- Further testing and validation of dynamic package installation scripts.
- Exploration of additional error handling mechanisms in Python scripts.
