While looking at a new feature for Gramps , it struck me that the add-on was storing CSV data in a Gramps Note and some of the bugs were standard parsing problems. And that this new Note type probably needed to embed headers for future-proofing. Particularly since the DNA segment map data could come …

That Gramps predates libraries isn’t much of a surprise. Data Mining and ‘Big Data’ have become major buzz words in the last decade. I expect that a lot of the functions that used to be built from scratch are now simply standardized library calls. And those routines have probably been through quit…

Well, there’s the other approach. If you have a local college doing Python programming or data analysis courses, the professors are often looking for good, limited-scope projects to assign to advanced students. (Projects that are not “yet another” game!) They cannot use last semester’s assignments …

sorry, don’t know anyone that want to use time on a lineage-linked system… I have already tried, but when they needed to also create import/exports for interchangeable formats, just to be able to use Gramps with other tools (they are like me, they seriously think that gedcom should be deprecated fr…

You making an incorrect assumption about the approach. The teachers & student don’t need to have an interest in the final productivity in Genealogy. It is simply a gradeable exercise in a real-world task. A class of 60 could each have different small exercises or larger 3-5 person exercises. The m…

I dont think that’s how it works in Norway… and anyway, as I say I dont know any “professors”

Mathplotlib overhead [image] Hotspot heatmap for event clusters If you use matplotlib, it needs at least 8MB of libraries and if you use cartopy, it also needs matplotlib, so the gramps package will grow aproximately 16MB for windows and mac users. It’s difficult to add more libraries to gramps…

[image] Hotspot heatmap for event clusters The gramps package is already very big. (100MB for Macs and 65MB for Windows) Linux is better managed for that. For us Windows users, 60-100MB software installations are not much… even my Notebook software are bigger than that… But I do agree that i…

I don’t see the point why people here are arguing over whether a dependency is too big of an overhead or not. Let the user decide! It’s totally obvious to me that all the packages mentioned by @emyoulation in the original post would not be dependencies of the core Gramps, but of addons. So where is…

[image] DavidMStraub: If a user wants to use scipy for something, I’m pretty sure they also know how to install it! @DavidMStraub Addon devs yes, but I’m afraid that many Gramps users just might be overchallenged with additional installations. It would be great if we could provide the install…

Yes, that would certainly be optimal. But that only makes sense when installing the dependencies with pip. But I don’t see a problem with that, even on Windows (even though I have never tried). By the way, concerning [image] prculley: We recently have started using a couple of pure Python depe…
