Streamlit for Data Science

Streamlit plotting demo

First, we're going to start to learn how to make Streamlit apps by reproducing the plotting demo we saw before in the Streamlit demo, with a Python file that we've made ourselves. In order to do that, we will do the following:

Make a Python file where we will house all our Streamlit code.
Use the plotting code given in the demo.
Make small edits for practice.
Run our file locally.

Our first step is to create a folder called plotting_app, which will house our first example. The following code makes this folder when run in the terminal, changes our working directory to plotting_app, and creates an empty Python file we'll call plot_demo.py:

mkdir plotting_app
cd plotting_app
touch plot_demo.py

Now that we've made a file called plot_demo.py, open it with any text editor (if you don't have one already, I'm partial to VS Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/download). When you open it up, copy and paste the...

Making an app from scratch

Now that we've tried out the apps others have made, let's make our own! This app is going to focus on using the central limit theorem, which is a fundamental theorem of statistics that says that if we randomly sample with replacement enough from any distribution, then the distribution of the mean of our samples will approximate the normal distribution.

We are not going to prove this with our app, but instead, let's try to generate a few graphs that help explain the power of the central limit theorem. First, let's make sure that we're in the correct directory (in this case, the streamlit_apps folder that we created earlier), make a new folder called clt_app, and toss in a new file.

The following code makes a new folder called clt_app, and again creates an empty Python file, this time called clt_demo.py:

mkdir clt_app
cd clt_app
touch clt_demo.py

Whenever we start a new Streamlit app, we want to make sure to...

Flow control in Streamlit

As we talked about just before, there are two solutions to this data upload default situation. We can provide a default file to use until the user interacts with the application, or we can stop the app until a file is uploaded. Let’s start with the first option. The following code uses the st.file_uploader() function from within an if statement. If the user uploads a file, then the app uses that; if they do not, then we default to the file we have used before:

import altair as alt
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import streamlit as st
 
st.title("Palmer's Penguins")
st.markdown("Use this Streamlit app to make your own scatterplot about penguins!")
 
penguin_file = st.file_uploader("Select Your Local Penguins CSV (default provided)")
if penguin_file is not None:
    penguins_df = pd.read_csv(penguin_file)
else:
    penguins_df = pd.read_csv("penguins.csv")
 
selected_x_var = st.selectbox(
 ...

Data manipulation in Streamlit

Streamlit runs our Python file from the top down as a script, so we can perform data manipulation with powerful libraries such as pandas in the same way that we might in a Jupyter notebook or a regular Python script. As we’ve discussed before, we can do all our regular data manipulation as normal. For our Palmer’s Penguins app, what if we wanted the user to be able to filter out penguins based on their gender? The following code filters our DataFrame using pandas:

import streamlit as st
import pandas as pd
import altair as alt 
import seaborn as sns
st.title("Palmer's Penguins")
st.markdown('Use this Streamlit app to make your own scatterplot about penguins!')
penguin_file = st.file_uploader(
    'Select Your Local Penguins CSV (default provided)')
if penguin_file is not None:
    penguins_df = pd.read_csv(penguin_file)
else:
    penguins_df = pd.read_csv('penguins.csv')
selected_x_var =...

Persistence with Session State

One of the most frustrating parts of the Streamlit operating model for developers starting out is the combination of two facts:

By default, information is not stored across reruns of the app.
On user input, Streamlits are rerun top-to-bottom.

These two facts make it difficult to make certain types of apps! This is best shown in an example. Let’s say that we want to make a to-do app that makes it easy for you to add items to your to-do list. Adding user input in Streamlit is really simple, so we can create one quickly in a new file called session_state_example.py that looks like the following:

import streamlit as st
st.title('My To-Do List Creator')
my_todo_list = ["Buy groceries", "Learn Streamlit", "Learn Python"]
st.write('My current To-Do list is:', my_todo_list)
new_todo = st.text_input("What do you need to do?")
if st.button('Add the new To-Do...

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

I don't know if I am being unfair in only giving this 2 stars. It is not a bad book at all, but it really didn't match my hopes and expectations. Anyone looking more for a Streamlit reference and tutorial book will be disappointed. The chapters each revolve around projects showing different aspects of data display (tables, charts etc etc) with Streamlit. Certainly, various elements of Streamlit are introduced along the way, but I found it difficult to locate any content dealing with particular aspects, and this is not helped by the very skimpy index.Anyone who likes learning via projects that are unrelated to whatever personal projects they might have might find this book more useful than I did. Safe to say that it is not an introductory/tutorial for Streamlit, but assumes that you have some working knowledge of st already.

Just finished reading Tyler Richards’s new Streamlit book by Packt and I must say, it's an interesting read!Although I don't work with machine learning on a daily basis, reading this book felt like a throwback to my grad school days when I was first introduced to the world of data science and machine learning.Here are the top 5 things that stood out for me:1. The introduction to the Streamlit framework was easy to understand, even for someone completely new to it. I was able to connect the dots with my experiences working with Jupyter notebooks back in the day.2. All the code files are easily accessible through a single link on Github, which includes every example discussed in the book. This made it easy to follow along and test out the concepts.3. As someone coming from the data visualization world, I was impressed by the wide range of options integrated into the framework for easy visualizations.4. The book covers interaction with OpenAI modules, which has become increasingly relevant. There is a gradual move through chapters into ML, AI, and then web deployment.5. The most important piece that made me happy was the demo on how Streamlit can be utilized to stand out in job interviews.Whether you're looking to brush up on your knowledge or dive into the field, I highly recommend giving this book a read!

Bought it for my cousins, one is a data engineer and one is swe and both love it. Highly recommend it
