New Python Project: Real Estate Data Pipeline

We’re pretty stoked to share this new Python project. It’s designed to scrape real estate data, so you can analyze changes in home prices over time. It is rolling out in stages. The first part focuses on web scraping, the second focuses on data analysis.

The following section will focus on building a dashboard to display the real estate data. You can follow along as we build this, and we will share all the code so you can enhance it however you want.

How to Send Emails with SMTP

Want to send emails from your Python project? This full video walkthrough (which is only about 15 minutes) shows how to send reports, alerts, or notifications using Gmail’s SMTP server.

Specifically, the video covers:

• How to set up Gmail for SMTP access (with two-step verification)

• How to create and use an app password securely

• How to store credentials in a .env file to keep them safe

• How to write a Python script to send emails using smtplib

• How to test your email function and verify delivery

And make sure to check out the upcoming walkthroughs. We’ve got a fun project that automates log error notifications coming up soon. It detects errors and sends instant email notifications.

We will have the full walkthrough, including the full source code for the project, on Hackr.io.

Understanding F-Strings

We just released a quick guide to understanding Python F-Strings. These are defined by prefixing a string with f or F, allowing variables and expressions to be embedded directly within curly braces {}, which serve as placeholders.

You can include expressions inside f-strings, making them highly versatile. You just need to use your placeholders to include your expressions in the same way you would with a variable:

x = 5
y = 3
print(f"The sum of {x} and {y} is {x + y}.")

There are plenty more ways to use them. Read the full guide to see them all.
