What weâre about
PyData Prague aims to unite data analysts, engineers, scientists, and others involved in the usage, developments, and support of open source technologies in the area of scientific computation. These include pandas, numpy, IPython, R, matplotlib, Julia, Jupyter, and other related projects.
We ultimately aim to organise meetups as well as conferences, we want to provide a platform for spreading the ideas revolving around open technologies that help us in day to day work, be it commercial, non-profit, or educational.

PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

PyData Prague #32 - Scrapeyard Forge
Apify office, VodiÄkova 704/36, Prague, CZHello data speakers and crawling Pythons!
The 32nd Prague PyData meetup will be hosted at Apify offices right in the heart of Prague's city center. The talks will start at 18:30 and we encourage you to come as soon as 18:00 to enjoy the opportunity to socialise and refresh yourselves (which you can continue doing during the break and after the talks).
By attending, you agree that you will abide by the relevant parts of Apify Event Terms and Conditions and that you will provide your true identity for registration at the venue entrance.
đ¤ Our main goal is to build the community around Python and data and make it welcoming to people of various skills and experience levels.
⥠If you are interested in giving a lightning talk (up to 5 minutes to present an idea, tool or results related at least to some degree to Python and/or data), please contact us before or during the event.
đ˘ Jan Kislinger: Forged in Rust, Spoken in Python
Python has long been the go-to language for data science and rapid experimentation, but when our models and algorithms start to hit performance limits, we naturally look toward something closer to the metal. In recent years, Rust has become a powerful partner: a language that offers high speed, strong safety guarantees, and a surprisingly pleasant developer experience. With tools like pyo3 and maturin, we can implement performance-critical components in Rust while keeping the flexible, expressive Python interface we love. This talk explores how the evolving PythonâRust ecosystem is gently reshaping the balance between productivity and performance. What new capabilities do we unlock by going lower level, and what, if anything, do we leave behind?
đ˘ VladimĂr DuĹĄek: Dealing with today's web scraping challenges in Python
Web data powers today's AI revolution, but accessing it is becoming increasingly complex as websites grow more sophisticated. Modern web scraping and automation face challenges such as IP and geographical blocking, JavaScript-based content rendering, device and browser fingerprinting, CAPTCHAs, anti-scraping HTTP headers, and more.
In this talk, you'll learn how to beat these challenges using Crawleeâa modern open-source Python library for web scraping and automation that we built from scratch at Apify.
Refreshments will be available, thanks to our generous sponsors at Apify.
Please, RSVP here.
See you soon,
