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
Yesterday, I wrote a #devblog update for my #indiegame after four years of working on other projects. It feels good to return to the unfinished update 1.0.2 for my #dungeoncrawler game "The Fire of Ardor".
I have a made couple of improvements lately and plan to release the update this summer:
=== Begin ===
"Jinja2 sandbox escape via string formatting"
"Incorrect Privilege Assignment in Jinja2"
"Insecure Temporary File in Jinja2"
"Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in Jinja2"
"Jinja vulnerable to HTML attribute injection when passing user input as keys to xmlattr filter"
"Jinja vulnerable to HTML attribute injection when passing user input as keys to xmlattr filter"
"High severity vulnerability that affects Jinja2"
=== End ===
If I want to transcribe every new audio file that appears in a folder on my Mac using (Mac)Whisper and then run the transcription through a LLM using Ollama to clean it up, what are my best options? Do I have to write some Python code myself or is the readymade tools for this?
I'm slowly making my way through a 8 thousand line python addition to #inkscape's #python library for parsing text and font elements in #svg properly. It's important and useful, but it's also a lot.
I'm not sure how to say "please run pylint over your code because my eyes hurt trying to read this". without sounding like an ungrateful jerk. 😅
La PyConFR, la convention #python francophone, c’est pour bientôt ! Si vous souhaitez proposer une conférence, un atelier, ou un sprint de #programmation c’est le moment
Hi folks! Former chair of @ThePSF Conduct Working Group with a message that might be timely!
If you see a member of the #python community behaving against the spirit or the letter of the CoC, especially if the comments are in public about an official #PSF event, especially if using a hashtag, please report to conduct-wg@python.org as you are comfortable.
The WG might not be able to take action due to the CoC’s scope, but its useful background for the inevitable next incident.
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
#PenPlotter maintenance today. My HP 7585B stopped responding over RS-232. Diagnostics revealed a problem with the interface card. Luckily I have a spare machine that can donate a new working card!
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.
