It's been an amazing year for Python and data science.

It's time to look back at the major headlines and take stock in what we've done as a community.

I've teamed up with a partially derivative podcast, and we're running down the top 10 data science stories of 2016 in this joint episode.

This is Talk Python to Me, episode 91, recorded November 18th, 2016. constructed line by line, just like when I'm coding another software design. In both cases, it's about

design patterns. Anyone can get the job done. It's the execution that matters. I have many

interests. Sometimes you can play. Welcome to Talk Python to Me, a weekly podcast on Python,

the language, the libraries, the ecosystem, and the personalities. This is your host, Michael Kennedy.

Follow me on Twitter where I'm at M. Kennedy.

This episode has been sponsored by Rollbar and Continuum Analytics.

I want to say a special thank you to the folks at Continuum Analytics,

you know, the Anaconda Distribution people, for joining Talk Python as a sponsor.

Think them both for supporting the show by checking out what they have to offer during their

segments.

Jonathan, welcome back to Talk Python. Hey, thanks so much for having me. I'm really excited to be here.

I'm so excited to have you back because every time we do a show together, I have a great time. People seem to love it. And I know what we have on deck today. People are going to love the show. It's going to be really fun. It's going to be really, I think so too. I'm so glad it was fun doing this last year and I'm glad we're doing it again. It's just kind of cool to have an opportunity to look back over the past 12 months. And really, there's just so much news and so much data

stuff that comes out over 12 months. It's an industry that's moving so fast. Just to have a

chance to reflect a little bit is kind of cool. I remembered some things that I'd forgotten about

the past year. Yeah. Me too. Like, for example, Tay. I remember Tay. And I just, just because we brought it up.

So we'll talk about Tay, the bot later.

But, yeah, what have you been up to the last year?
