# Unzip a word docx:
import shutil
from pathlib import Path
from zipfile import ZipFile
p = Path("my-doc.docx")
z = p.with_suffix(".zip")
d = Path("output")
d.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
shutil.copy(p, z)

I asked ChatGPT a Python question and it seemed to make up the answer based on what it thought should exist in Python, and not what actually does exist. Notice this at the end: "The xsl-fo library that I mentioned in my previous response is not a real library."
I'm playing with data for a course I'm working on. The blue slices in these two pie charts tell the stories of two athletes' careers. Any guesses as to the athletes (and what the charts capture)?
I often copy and paste emails into Django Admin to search for users. Sometimes, the "mailto:" gets included when copying. If this happens to you, overriding get_search_results takes care of this: 1/2

If anyone is looking for an entry-level Python/Django developer in the USA, I know someone who would be great.
I'm looking for good datasets to use in data analytics courses. Anyone know of a list of open datasets similar to kaggle.com/datasets?
Just learned about rseek.org/ - a search engine for finding info about R programming. Interesting idea. Do similar search engines exist for other languages or is the need unique to R b/c of the one-letter name?
Say two people have the same change form open in Django Admin. One person makes a change and saves. The other person makes a change and saves. The first person's changes get lost. Anyone implemented a solution for this?
Out with a friend tonight talking about benefits of a liberal arts education. Suddenly had an urge to reference @DanFChambliss but he beat me to it!

About now, it's helpful to understand things like international relations, history, geography, culture, psychology (stuff like "cognitive dissonance," and depth psych -- even Freud!) -- basically, all the knowledge that we've been told has a Low Return on Investment.
Spare me.
An awesome addition to the team!
