In my quest to produce a shorter video, I’ve produced my longest so far:

tox vs Nox: What are they for & How do you choose?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImBvrDvK-1U

In which I introduce those two indispensable tools and reflect my own usage of BOTH. Enjoy! #python

It’s easy to get used to the grind of daily bad news, but just tangentially participating in an Ukrainian conference hammers home what they’re going thru every day. This is Kyiv, not some contested border town.

Hope everybody is going to be OK at https://fwdays.com/en/event/python-ds-fwdays-2024

TIL if you have your iPhone plugged into your Mac and you do an AirDrop transfer, it can actually use the wired connection, so for iPhone 15 Pro/Max if you use a really good USB-C cable, you can transfer several gigabytes over AirDrop really quickly. Just used this to transfer some videos from the Blackmagic Cam app. WireDrop? 😅

Out of 6 languages recommended by the NSA, 4 are patended bvy multibillion comanies who can pull the plug on them at any time (and Oracle already tried that).

C# - PATENTED by Microsoft,
Go - PATENTED by Google
Java - PATENTED by Oracle, NOT FREE
Python - not too shabby
Rust - not too shabby
Swift - PATENTED by Apple

New video: Is uv the future of Python Packaging?

I’ve set out with a yes/no question to keep it short, but somehow ended up contextualizing Python’s packaging problems and the video ended up 18 mins long.

Enjoy, like, subscribe, etc!

Following the White House's report on memory safety my article on #Python being memory safe has been getting lots of attention 😊

It would be harsh to say that requests is a pile of poorly-written attractive nuisances on top of urllib3. But, unfortunately, it wouldn’t be wrong.

Many diligent devs have spent countless work hours trying to unfuck the project over the years, but there’s only so much you can do when:

“After receiving our first security disclosure, I was told that Requests wasn't a serious project but instead one person's art project and thus we shouldn't fix the vulnerability.” https://hachyderm.io/@sigmavirus24/111986425127558764

#pythonpizza in Prague kicked off with a thrilling keynote by @ambv

I am not sure what I liked more, the whirlwind deep dive into #python's gil, subinterpreters and jit, or the stunning images he showed.

This image symbolising the Apache webserver almost wants me to ditch nginx at work.

Łukasz Langa starts his presentation.

🔒📂 @brettcannon has just posted his new proposal to standardise lock files in Python:

"Two years since PEP 665 was rejected and three years since I started working towards some lock file solution, I present my next (and last regardless of outcome) attempt at coming up with a lock file standard."

@coveragepy can now use Python 3.12's new sys.monitoring module with much lower overhead.

On 3.12, it's about the same as if you were running tests without coverage enabled!

https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/202312/coveragepy_with_sysmonitoring.html

With 7.4.2, you can set COVERAGE_CORE=sysmon globally on your CI, and it'll only use it where available (Python 3.12 and 3.13 alpha), and use the default for 3.11 and older.

For example, @pillow is 9% - 27% faster!

As a reminder, you pay for open source w/ kindness. Don't make demands (you can request), argue (you can have a pleasant conversation), or be mean (you can always just not say anything). Otherwise your "refund" for that open source you apparently "overpaid" for could consist of being called out for your behaviour, ignored, blocked, the OSS contributor walking away/burning out, or that code you were using being yanked off the internet.

The team that uncovered and unlocked the secretly and illegally DRM'd Polish trains (@q3k, @mrtick, and @redford) has now presented at #37C3 and it's riveting.

If you have ~1h to spare, it is 100% worth your time, with genuinely great storytelling, hitting the tradeoff between technicality and simlification just right, and pretty awesome slides.
