Last night’s @pyladies Auction $60,000 USD fundraising goal was not only met but surpassed! Super thankful to the community for the support to empower women in #Python, to language creator Guido van Rossum for always being an advocate and champion for us, and to the many many amazing volunteers and #PyLadies who make our community that much richer!
Struggling a bit with the API of a #python library I write. I want to provide classes with sync and async methods. I am not sure if I prefer to use a single class with unprefixed and a-prefixed methods. Or if I want one class for sync and one for async behaviours. And if I split it in separate classes would you prefix the methods with an ‚a‘ in the async class?
#PyConUS is very inclusive - we have an open space for a #Rust meetup this evening at 7:30 in room 310. Folks who are interested in learning more about Rust and how it works with #Python please come! (bring your own food we don’t have pizzas) 🍕 🤷🏻♀️
The MLX is Apple's framework for machine learning applications on Apple silicon. The MLX examples repository provides a set of examples for using the MLX framework. This includes examples of:
✅ Text models such as transformer, Llama, Mistral, and Phi-2 models
✅ Image models such as Stable Diffusion
✅ Audio and speech recognition with OpenAI's Whisper
✅ Support for some Hugging Face models
"But other parsers know too much about HTML. They choke on or try to rewrite bad markup. They assume you care about the whole document. A pirate might make you walk the plank, but only a parser would make you walk the whole tree."
Happy 20th birthday to the #Python screen-scraping library Beautiful Soup by @leonardr .
I'm working on removing an important spreadsheet from Google Docs, and maintain that in LibreOffice.
Thing: In G Docs I wrote a few macros to sort the file in various ways, using 4 and 5 fields.
Libre Calc only allows 3 sort fields, and the G-Doc macros don't work in Libre Calc.
I've written a #Python program to convert a CSV to a file with fixed length, and writing a #COBOL program to do the sorting for me.
Sorting multiple columns in Python is a PITA. In COBOL it's laughably simple.
I wish something like the IBM S/34 #GSORT would exist for Linux. That would make this even simpler.
We have a wonderful pipeline of Linux Australia-auspiced events coming up for the back half of 2024, after fantastic conferences earlier in the year by the teams at #DrupalSouth in #Sydney and @everythingopen in #Gladstone
Stop by the PSF booth and treat yourself to a delicious cookie @pycon US! Don't miss out on this tasty opportunity to connect with the Python community- plus, cookies! 🍪✨
🎵CUCKOO🎵 Who's excited for the 2024 PyLadies Auction?! What will you bid on? What did you donate?
The Auction is sold out, so if you have your ticket (check the back of your badge if you're not sure!), come on up to Ballroom A on the 3rd floor of the convention center. Doors open at 6:45! #PyConUS

I've commissioned this algorithmically embroidered bag by the amazing Marie Roald and Yngve Mardal Moe!
"This lined corduroy bag is embroidered with a retro computer graphics inspired starscape with two light sources that light up the Python logo and surrounding asteroids. The pattern was made by simulating 2D raytracing using Python and TurtleThread."
As you're planning your time at PyCon US, definitely make time to chat all things community, Python, open source, and open science at the pyOpenSci Open Space!
You'll be able to chat with @leahawasser (and grab some pyOpenSci swag), and connect with the broader pyOpenSci community.
At the #ThePSF members lunch “We at @ThePSF started a mentoring of mentors program to promote more individuals - particularly of various backgrounds - to core #Python roles. People should be allowed to retire …” - Deb Nicholson (@ThePSF Exec Director)
Pour cette 13ème édition de la journée mondiale de sensibilisation à l'accessibilité #a11y, ARN, @hackstub et le groupe a11y-libre, propose à toutes les personnes qui pratiquent la ligne de commande, un hackaton « asynchrone » sur le thème « ligne de commande et cécité » !
Vous avez jusqu'au 31 mai, pour envoyer vos contributions. Il y a de nombreux lots à gagner.
Notre #hackaton pour rendre les shells accessibles est en cours jusqu'au 31 mai, nous publierons ici quelques contributions chaque jour.
Xogium propose des alias #bash qui désactivent les barres de progressions sur les commandes #docker et #pipenv (#python) car ces 2 commandes détournent des caractères brailles pour l'affichage de la barre...
Voilà qui améliore effectivement l'accessibilité de ces 2 commandes. Il y en a probablement d'autres dans le même genre.
