Exercise instructions

  • Import the package to help with pretty printing.
  • Create a dictionary, art_distances by iterating through art_dist_meters, using title as the key and the distance() from center as the value. Pass center as the other argument to GeoSeries.distance().
  • Pretty print art_distances using the pprint method of pprint.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# Import package for pretty printing
import ____

# Build a dictionary of titles and distances for Urban Residents art
art_distances = {}
for row in ____.iterrows():
    vals = row[1]
    key = vals['title']
    ctr = vals[____]
    art_distances[key] = vals['geometry'].distance(____)

# Pretty print the art_distances
____.____(art_distances)
