I've seen some commits to the Textbook regarding the API change. Have we done this to the assignments yet?
Textbook change is done. Haven't made the changes to assignments yet.
Both changes are now done.
I propose that the next step is to create a pull request that deprecates scatter(colors=)
and warns on use of it, but still supports that functionality for now (so we don't break older code).
@adnanhemani @davidwagner Fixed the issue in https://github.com/data-8/datascience/pull/451
Closed as per #389 .
Hi there
FYI colors
is still used in the notebooks for the edX Data8.1x course, for example in the code cell below, from lab 05 :
from functools import lru_cache as cache
# This cache annotation makes sure that if the same year
# is passed as an argument twice, the work of computing
# the result is only carried out once and then saved.
@cache(None)
def stats_relabeled(year):
"""Relabeled and cached version of stats_for_year."""
return stats_for_year(year).relabeled(2, 'Children per woman').relabeled(3, 'Child deaths per 1000 born')
def fertility_vs_child_mortality(year):
"""Draw a color scatter diagram comparing child mortality and fertility."""
with_region = stats_relabeled(year).join('geo', countries.select('country', 'world_6region'), 'country')
with_region.scatter(2, 3, sizes=1, colors=4, s=500)
plots.xlim(0,10)
plots.ylim(-50, 500)
plots.title(year)
fertility_vs_child_mortality(1960)
I just completed that class and downloaded the lab notebooks for further play running them locally on my machine.
For that purpose I created a virtual env with the latest version of the datascience
library (updated today to be sure).
When I run that cell, I get an error (which I was not getting when worked on the lab online). By the way, it is an actual error, not just a warning:
I fixed the code in the cell by replacing this line:
with_region.scatter(2, 3, sizes=1, colors=4, s=500)
with this one:
with_region.scatter(2, 3, sizes=1, group=4, s=500)
I posted this also on the lab discussion board.
Once we've released the version with supports for scatter(group=) and have converted assignments and textbook (PR #384), let's warn on use of scatter(color=). See https://github.com/data-8/datascience/pull/384#discussion_r296495737.
