Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an image format that defines vector-based graphics in XML format. In this tutorial, you’ll look at how to get started with Pygal, a Python SVG graph-plotting library. You’ll also learn how to draw histograms using the Pygal library.

Introduction to Pygal

There are many libraries in Python available for charts (Matplotlib and seaborn being a couple of examples). Even though most of these libraries aren’t that complex, most Python-charting developers require a simple, easy-to-use library that can quickly build Python applications.

The Pygal library offers multiple charting options beyond what’s available in other charting libraries. It includes a…

What’s a Python Exception?

This tutorial will introduce you to exceptions and how to handle exceptions in Flask. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to create custom exceptions for your code.

Run the program, and enter a string instead of a number as the input. If you run the program, it’ll work as long as the input is an integer. If you input a string instead of a number, you’ll get a ValueError, as shown below.

Please enter a number between 1 and 10: fur Traceback (most recent call last): File “main.py”, line 9, in <module> number = int(input(‘Please enter…

Falcon is a light-weight Python web API framework for building high-performance microservices, app backends, and higher-level frameworks. This tutorial will give an introduction to Falcon, its major features, and how to install Falcon. We’ll also build a simple RESTful API with Falcon.

Advantages of Falcon Compared to Other Frameworks

According to the documentation, some of the features of Falcon that make it superior to other Python frameworks include:

Speed — Falcon requests work several times faster than most other Python frameworks. Additionally, Falcon works well when combined with Cython, giving it an extra speed boost; it also works well with PyPy.

Flexibility — Falcon leaves a lot…

datetime is an essential aspect of any program in Python. Python provides the datetime module that helps manipulate date and time and represents it in a way users can understand.

datetime has various components. The datetime module consists of the following object types:

• date — holds the date
• time — holds the time
• datetime — holds both date and time

How to get current date and time

As you have seen above, the Python datetime module can do this. Import the datetime class from the datetime module, then use it to create a datetime object, as shown below. …
