Preparation

In this week we will learn about the templates for reproducible research and look closer at debugging.

Please work through the following materials before the class.

Project templates

The templates provide you a directory structure and some auxiliary files that help you set up pytask projects quickly.

• What are the project templates

• Setting up a project

• Directory structure in the templates

• Handling paths in projects

• Writing Readme files

Debugging

You have been doing debugging since you wrote your first line of Python code. However, you have never done it efficiently. Here we show you how you can drastically improve your efficiency while debugging.

• Introduction to debugging

• Strategies for debugging

• Gathering data efficiently

• Using the pdbp debugger

Optional debugging videos

The following videos are optional but highly recommended!

• Avoiding debugging

• (Armchair) psychology of debugging
