One of the methods I try these years to avoid early academic year stress is to have a week in August when I catch up.
Finish referee reports.
Do syllabi for all year.
Put stuff on websites.
Look thru unanswered mails.
Install python again.

Will it work this time?

The ROI of helping Trump to WH looks very high for Russia. ROI on Orbán, Le Pen, AfD etc also high.

Sad.

I came light. Just found myself in a conda v. UV v. Pixi fight.

And i thought i saw it all w r vs python vs stata, or jekyll vs hugo. Or tidyverse vs data.table or pandas v polars. Or logit vs lpm.

For pyfixest's development, we've been using pixi for a while, which I really enjoy. More or less it is the conda-forge (free & open source) equivalent to uv (it actually runs uv for PyPi dependency resolution). Really fast both for PyPi & conda-forge dependency resolution.

It seems neat.

One priority for us (ie education) is to provide stg
* widely used, tested
* has been and will be around for a while

Ie it does not have to be the best just very good and widespread

In contrast to uv, it is cross-language and also allows to pin down non-python dependencies in the same env (R, Julia, etc). And it also has nice "pixi run command" options (you can even define tasks as in justfiles, which I personally use a lot). pixi.sh/latest/

wonderfully kind of you, mate. Thanks. Much appreciated.

Aha, I see. We are coming from pipenv -- that is what we had in previous version. As we do this I have basically a 2nd year UG metrics class in mind, where we want to help the metrics teacher who used Stata till recently, has some RAs, but expects 200 students to setup the environment alone.

Aha I see.
And you'd suggest uv?

Any particular reason?
I know of it but never tried

Thx

I guess people are divided, and conda is very much a business standard. But will add a para on alternatives for sure. Thanks for pinging us.

I believe we can teach data analysis/ econometrics with Python. From OLS to machine learning and event studies.

Scripts for 42 case studies. #pyfixest for regressions. (With Stata and R to compare)
