Advice for Python, UV, and Docker 🐍🐳

Sometimes dependencies are better installed separately from the code — this noticeably speeds up the compilation of Docker images 🚀

The idea is simple: first, we install dependencies, then we add the project 🛠

Why is this necessary:
• Docker caches layers and does not rebuild them unnecessarily ⚡️
• if only the code changes — the dependencies are taken from the cache 💾
• if the dependencies change — only the corresponding layer is rebuilt 🔁
• without this, any minor change triggers a full reinstallation 🔄

Example:

RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/uv  --mount=type=bind,source=uv.lock,target=uv.lock  --mount=type=bind,source=pyproject.toml,target=pyproject.toml  uv sync --locked --no-install-project

COPY . /app
RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/uv  uv sync --locked

Safe rounding of numbers with math.fsum

import math

# Initial list with fractions
values = [0.1] * 10

# 1. Regular summation via sum()
print(f"Standard sum(): {sum(values)}") # 0.9999999999999999

# 2. Exact summation via math.fsum()
print(f"Exact math.fsum(): {math.fsum(values)}") # 1.0

Eliminating errors when calculating arrays

We've already discussed why float in Python loses accuracy and how Decimal deals with this. But what if you need to add a million ordinary real numbers from a database or matrix, and it's not possible to convert everything to heavy Decimal objects due to a performance hit? The math.fsum() function comes to the rescue.

— Eliminating accumulated error: When sequentially adding elements via the standard sum(), the microscopic errors of float are rounded at each step and "accumulate" in the loop. The math.fsum() function tracks intermediate accuracy losses and compensates for them during the calculations.

— High performance: Since the math module is written in C, this function works several times faster than manually iterating through the array or using alternative data types. You get the speed of basic float calculations with near-perfect accuracy.

— Stability in Data Science: This tool is indispensable when working with weights in neural networks, calculating averages of large samples, or processing financial transactions, where speed is important but it's critical not to lose valuable cents and fractions during mass operations.

What are lambda functions in Python?

Lambda functions — are anonymous functions, which are created using the lambda keyword. They can accept any number of arguments, but contain only one expression, the result of which is automatically returned.

They are most often used for short operations, for example during sorting, filtering or data processing.

# Example:
sorted_data = sorted(data, key=lambda x: x[1])
filtered_data = list(filter(lambda x: x > 0, numbers))
