🚨 🚨 🚨 We're approaching the Final Call for Proposals for #PyOhio 2024!!! 🚨 🚨 🚨
This Sunday, Anywhere on Earth (AoE) Will be your last chance to submit a talk for our awesome conference!
If you had fun at #PyCon and want to keep hanging out with the #Python Community, or have something you want to share with the rest of us, please submit a talk! We love first time speakers!
This is the first year that after the #PyConUS sprints, I find myself scanning the recent issues and pull requests on CPython's repository to watch the improvements happen on a Python feature in real-time. ⏳
I was planning to wait until the next beta to re-install Python 3.13, but I had to try it out again yesterday after seeing some fixes land. 💗
I'm not a #Python core developer and I'm not usually an early adopter, but I am so excited for each new improvement in the new Python REPL. 🎉
Mark Your Calendars: Call for Papers Opens on May 27th, 2024!
Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to share your expertise and insights. Submit your proposals and be a part of the PyCon Zim experience. Full details and submission guidelines will be available on Monday. Start preparing your submissions now! #Pyconzim2024#PyconZim#CFP#Python
You can wrestle with scientific-formatting yourself, or you can use the sciform package from Justin Gerber!
sciform is used to convert python numbers into strings according to a variety of user-selected scientific formatting options including decimal, binary, fixed-point, scientific and engineering formats, using documented standards wherever possible!
My talk for Posette this year will be about "pgvector for Python developers" - two of my current fav things. The conf is virtual and free, so join us on June 12th!
(1/4) TIL about the plotnine library- the grammar of graphics in Python 🚀
I had never heard about the Plotnine library until I came across the Posit Plotnine contest (see the link below). The plotnine is a Python implementation of a grammar of graphics based on the ggplot2 library.
A lot of of #python people on social media such as LinkedIn will post "What do you think this python code will do? A, B, or C" questions.
Are these useful to anyone?
The code is generally of a style I'd recommend people avoid writing, or that I'd question in a code review. Often it's using strange edge-cases for what's possible...but not what's idiomatic or "good".
I can't imagine they're useful to people learning #python. I imagine they deter some people from using #python. Am I wrong?
To those who follow this account for #Covid rants and politely tolerate my posts about the wonderful and elegant #Python programming language I’ve used almost daily for over a decade: The #pycon2024 conference required masks because they apparently haven’t stopped caring about the people behind the keyboards.
Yes, masks. In 2024. At a tech conference. It’s a beautiful thing.
trying to implement some functionality in #python I'm mentally calling an "echo" but that's probably got an actual name already. the idea is basically wrapping the setters of properties of one object so they store their values in an "echo" object as regular attributes.
this allows for objects that only stores property values (i.e. data only, no callables). these will be easier to persist to an object database, and with a reversal tool should function as a form of universal-ish storage
