Python Notebook
This chapter’s coding lessons primarily focus on downloading real-world datasets from the Kaggle website. The later chapters rely on or reuse these fetching functions.
In the previous chapter, you learned about this book’s general rules for development on the Python Notebook. The object-oriented class named Pluto contains the methods and attributes, and you add new methods to Pluto as you learn new concepts and techniques. Review Chapter 1 if you are uncertain about the development philosophy.
In this book, the term Python Notebook is used synonymously for Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab, and Google Colab Notebook.
Fun challenge
Pluto challenges you to change the object’s name from Pluto to any other name. If you do change the name, then substitute that name where you see Pluto in your text and code. For example, if you change the object name to Sandy, then pluto.draw_batch_image()
becomes sandy.draw_batch_image()
.
