Welp, @andreasjung blocked me for asking him to not use his platform to spread COVID denialism. That's his right to do so, of course, but it really makes me sad that someone in the #Python community would do this.
To everyone who supported and went along with the mask policies at PyCon this year, thank you so much.
College Precalculus – Full Course with Python Code by Ed Pratowski and freeCodeCamp focus on the foundation of calculus with Python implementation. This 12 hours course covers the following topics:
✅ Core trigonometry
✅ Matrix operation
✅ Working with complex numbers
✅ Probability
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.
@andreasjung It seems like you started this poll in bad faith. You have a clear opinion on the subject. You were not looking for opinions from people, you were trying to start arguments.
@treyhunner@nedbat@andreasjung Certainly looks bad faith when the Mastodon poll is deleted (79% yes, 66 votes) but not the one on Twitter (33% yes, 3 votes)
Twitter: Pinned Andreas Jung @_andreas_jung 8h #PyCon#PyConUS@pycon 2025 should/must have a masking mandate (if the situation is comparable to 2024)? @thepsf#Python Yes 33% No 67% 3 votes. 6 days 15 hours left
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.
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.
The April 2024 release of Posit Package Manager brings support for air-gapped PyPI repositories, more flexible curated CRAN repositories, performance improvements and more!
(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 😬)
