All Roads Lead To Kdb
This repository contains the source code for the posts on PyKX published on Habla Computings's blog:
- All Roads Lead to Kdb. An introduction to the PyKX library narrated by Emma Monad, a fictional character who plays the role of CTO at the equally fictional company Mad Flow.
- All Roads Lead to Kdb: the technical counterpart. An in-depth technical description of the use case and PyKX code introduced in the last post. It's intended to serve as a PyKX migration guide for programmers.
Content
-
posts/AllRoadsLeadToKdb.md. Markdown source of Emma Monad's blog post. -
posts/AllRoadsLeadToKdbTechnical.ipynb. Literate Python/PyKX code for the technical blog post. -
src/pandas,src/pykx,src/pykx.q. The three versions of the implementation of the Mad Flow use case: the original and inefficient Pandas version; its migration into PyKX/Python; and its migration into PyKX/q.
Running code
- To execute the Python code, you need PyKX 1.6 installed. Additionally, for running the q code, you'll need pykx.q as well as q installed.
- To obtain the source data files in CSV format, which are essential for running the notebook and the Python/q files, please follow the instructions provided in the technical post. Ensure to place these files in the
