Foundations Learning Path Assignments

Introduction

This assignment uses life expectancy in Europe grouped by Country (or other, like group of countries), Age, Sex, and Time. But the data format makes it hard to use. The task consists into cleaning the data and applying the concepts you've learned in the previous modules.

Installing

Before installing, make sure your pip is up to date.

pip --version

Prior to the introduction of pyproject.toml-based builds (in PEP 517 and PEP 518), pip had only supported installing packages using setup.py files that were built using setuptools. But in version 21.3, pip added support for performing editable installs of packages that use pyproject.toml. This means that you can use pip to install packages described in the pyproject.toml.

To update pip, run:

pip install --upgrade pip

Now you're ready to go!

1. Clone this repo.
2. Copy assignments folder into a separate project mv -r nos-lp-foundations/assignments assignments.
3. Move into the assignments folder (cd assignments) and start a new repo (git init).
4. Create a virtual environment with python -m venv .venv.

   Note for Anaconda users: We would prefer if you exit the automatic conda environments and tried using the steps above, as they are the canonical Python way of creating virtual environments. However, we realize working that way might be tricky for Anaconda users since Anaconda usually changes the configurations of your machine. If you are having too many problems getting started, then feel free to use the "conda way" of handling environments. I.e.: create a virtual environment with conda create --name foundations.

5. Activate the virtual environment with source .venv/bin/activate or .venv\Scripts\activate on Windows.

   Note for Anaconda users: Same as above, if you are having too many problems getting started, then feel free to activate the environment with conda activate foundations instead.

6. Install its dependencies on editable mode with pip install -e '.[dev]'.

Using this project

Open the README.md file inside each assignment and follow the instructions.

Note: Remember that all commands inside the Readme files assume you are in the root of the project.
