A pattern I’ve recently enjoyed using:

  1. Change some function in a way that needs fixes to call sites.
  2. Run the whole test suite with pytest.
  3. Copy the list of failing test IDs from pytest’s summary into a scratch file.
  4. Fix up the found callers.
  5. Verify everything fixed by saving the list of tests with: pytest $(cat scratch/testids.txt)

adamchainz,

@watte Yes, and allowing partial test runs in step four whilst fixing up certain callers.

What's the lowest amount you've paid for something using a credit card?

Went to the market the other day and paid for a £2 punnet of fruit using a credit card. Guy was running Square on his phone, showed me the screen, I tapped, done.

I remember when everyone was £10 minimum for card payments, even in large shops. Now sole-traders can take instant payment for low value amounts. Brilliant!

@Edent I regularly go in Tesco and buy a single banana for my toddler at 27p.

@OliverC @alexhern @Edent This is a small local supermarket, they’re cheaper in larger ones. I always thought produce was more expensive in the US, I saw broccoli at $5 in a large supermarket, some years ago.

Trying to upload a directory and use webkitRelativePath to preserve the local path in a #django app, and it seems like that might not be so easy.

I've tried a custom upload handler, but even there, Django seems to have already stripped the path.

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@circumeo Did you get any further? Sounds like an interesting feature to support, though we’d probably wait for the cross-browser spec to add it to Django itself.

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@circumeo Ah, looking at the docs, this is an HTML input property, only: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File/webkitRelativePath . I think Django isn’t stripping the path, it’s just not sent by the browser. I think you need to use JavaScript to put the values into some form field if you want to send them to the server.

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@circumeo Ah I see. It is probably up in the WSGI later, and may even be a recommended step in HTTP or WSGI servers. Deserves more research.

Any cracks here who can explain me why when I run my tests with the django built in manage.py test (runs unittest) I have 51 tests run.

When I run them with pytest It will only run 38 tests.

I'm really enjoying this post by @capjamesg about fun things you can do on your personal website: https://jamesg.blog/2024/02/19/personal-website-ideas/

After many years of thinking about it, I finally created my own site 2 months ago and it's been a lot of fun. I'd definitely recommend it!

@bmispelon Great list, and I’m loving your site 👏

This feature of uv is not talked about enough:

uv pip install --exclude-newer 2020-01-01 -r requirements.txt

I was able to recover and build a project untouched for many years using this easily!

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@henryiii very nice. I once resurrected a project with unpinned requirements by checking PyPi for each package to find the version at the time… so nice to have a tool that can do it now.

Recording something for PyCon US.
How's my setup?

Mariatta in front of the camera. Her fingers counting down: 3, 2, 1. She starts speaking: Hi. Welcome to PyCon US 2024. My name is Mariatta, I'm the conference chair.

@mariatta Everything is good apart from the webcam wobble, which I find a bit dizzying.

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@mariatta Yeah that’s an easy solution. I had the same problem too when recording from my laptop camera, as my gestures would make the desk wobble the laptop. I now use a separate tripod stand with ring light that doesn’t tend to wobble.

✍️ New post on my new package django-harlequin.

🦆 This package provides a small launcher command for Harlequin, the Terminal-based SQL IDE by Ted Conbeer.

@e11bits The lack of dependency was an oversight that I just released a fixed version for.

Yeah, it’s a bit heavy, maybe that could be worked on upstream.

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@benjaoming Yeah it has a lot of unnecessary upper version bounds... Maybe it would be better to not have it as a dependency, allowing pipx installs etc. I think I will roll that back, later.

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@e11bits Oh, cool. Publish as django-pgmacs!

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@benjaoming Thank you for helping make it better! I just merged your PR and released a version with the dependency removed.
