Now that #PyConUS is over, why not attend and support a regional #Python conference?
PyCon US sold out this year, and it will probably continue to do so. Smaller, regional events are going to be a more important part of how we support the growth of our community, but we need your support -- attendance and sponsorship -- to fulfil that role.
Are there any videos for #PyConUS? I saw a bunch of comments about the keynote and other talks about they seemed really interesting, but I can't find anything after the fact.
Django 5.1 alpha 1 is now available. It represents the first stage in the 5.1 release cycle and is an opportunity for you to try out the changes coming in Django 5.1.
This alpha milestone marks the feature freeze. The current release schedulecalls for a beta release in about a month and a release candidate about a month from then. We'll only be able to keep this schedule if we get early and often testing from the community. Updates on the release schedule are available on the Django forum.
As with all alpha and beta packages, this is not for production use. But if you'd like to take some of the new features for a spin, or to help find and fix bugs (which should be reported to the issue tracker), you can grab a copy of the alpha package from our downloads page or on PyPI.
The PGP key ID used for this release is Natalia Bidart: 2EE82A8D9470983E.
(Made it a goal to not require third-party libraries or tools for such a small task, but damn I totally get why nobody is using #Python's builtin HTTP client directly 😬)
Well, another #PyConUS is done (for me - #Sprints continue for another couple of days!)
It was excellent catching up with old friends and meeting tons of new ones. Pittsburgh was definitely a super cool vibe, 2025 should be fun too.
I'm looking forward to recharging my depleted physical batteries, so I can jump into all the important work we have ahead of us to continue to support this amazing community.
Hey folks, one last entreaty before the #PyConUS hashtag trails off.
We could really use your financial support. Our non-profit #ScholarshipFund is the travel sponsor for #PyCon US 2024.
We've recouped only 4% of what we gave. We're here to serve & happy to do it but could really use some boosts across the fediverse to drive donors so we can do it again.
Pls donate to help more people experience #Pittsburgh through tech conference travel:
I fixed this bug in my code yesterday but I'm sitting here crying laughing about it today. Godot The Game Engine You've Been Waiting For really said with its whole chest, THAT NULL CHECK CAN'T STOP ME BECAUSE I CAN'T READ #indiedev#gamedev#python#godot#godotengine
I'm looking forward to speaking at PyCon Italia 2024, in Florence, Italy, later this week on Friday.
The title of the talk is "Advanced parsing of structured data using Python's new match statement". Given that the match statement still isn't used much in Python Land, I want to make people more aware of how useful it can be for parsing in Python.
It has shown me once more that although you’ll learn about cool #Python trends, ultimately it’s all about the people + the opportunity to connect F2F. 😍
Attend conferences! They are important for your career + ongoing inspiration💡 📈
