In this next case, though, it’s actually an exciting announcement for Kai Analytics’ Blockchain Project.</p> <p>Since everyone reads show notes from end to end, here's a slight tangent and a challenge: The first person to tweet at <a href="https://twitter.com/PythonOutLoud" rel="nofollow">@PythonOutLoud</a> with hashtag #beingextraisgood and the number of times Isaiah uses the word “poll(s)” in Episode 1 Postscript will win a special prize!</p> <p>In case you’re wondering what we’re talking about, this tweet gives some context: <a href="https://twitter.com/PythonOutLoud/status/965974579603587073" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/PythonOutLoud/status/965974579603587073</a></p> <p>And if you're mathematically inclined, we recommend the Python <em>statsmodels</em> package for checking Isaiah's math:<br> <a href="http://www.statsmodels.org/dev/generated/statsmodels.stats.proportion.proportion_confint.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.statsmodels.org/dev/generated/statsmodels.stats.proportion.proportion_confint.html</a></p> <p>For something completely different, Podcast Init Episode 37 features interviews with the people behind the PEP process:<br> <a href="https://www.podcastinit.com/episode-37-the-pep-talk/" rel="nofollow">https://www.podcastinit.com/episode-37-the-pep-talk/</a></p> <p>As explained in the episode, they're especially fond of hiding references to British comedy troupe Month Python in Python documentation: <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/search.html?q=spam" rel="nofollow">https://docs.python.org/3/search.html?q=spam</a></p> <p>In other words, SPAM!
