Some more photos from yesterday's Language Summit. We had a full day of short talks followed by discussion.
The schedule: https://us.pycon.org/2024/events/language-summit/

A wide shot of the room, a U shaped table of around 40 people facing the presenter.
People sitting at the table in face masks. Russel Keith-Magee has the microphone as others listen carefully.
David Hewitt has the mike.

It's that time of year when I try to use mastodon for the sake of connecting with folx at and get utterly confused. Hold on to your hats, kids 👒

I just kicked off PyCon 2024 with the first talk of the Language Summit (and my first talk at PyCon!): "Should Python adopt CalVer?" It was an interesting discussion, let's see!

@jarofgreen The Language Summit isn't recorded, but there'll be a blogpost, and if we go ahead there'll be a PEP and discussion thread.

Does anybody know how to suppress search highlighting on https://docs.python.org/? It really annoys me. For example if I search for re.match, the re documentation will then look like someone threw confetti all over it.
Reloading the page is my current workaround, but I prefer having it done automatically.

@adi You can hit the Esc to clear the search highlighting on https://docs.python.org

Planning my veg-ish eating for

Rosewater Middle Eastern looks like it has good veg options and Arepittas looks like it probably does too.

ShadoBeni also looks really good, though it's a bit of a walk from the conference center.

Folks eating vegan/vegetarian this trip: found any other eats that look promising?

(Editing to also add the not-officially-recognized but widely used hashtag as well 🤫)

@treyhunner I had a meat dish but Nicky's Thai Kitchen was good and they have lots veggie and vegan: https://nickysthaikitchen.com

It's REALLY weird to me when people in software mine research papers for their content and say "researchers" instead of naming the scientists who actually did the work they're using. We're human beings and our work is our livelihood (at a fraction of yours I might add). Name us.

Blessed for the community around me that has this value, side eye at the content engine that doesn't.

🐍🧪 Python 3.13.0 is due out in October 2024 and work is underway to implement experimental support for PEP 703 "Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython".

As the Steering Council noted in their acceptance of the PEP, to succeed it's important to have community support.

I wrote a little guide on how you can help test out the beta in your project, and help us find bugs in CPython:

@hroncok I don't know, I initially called it disable-gil in my PR https://github.com/deadsnakes/action/pull/123 but Anthony changed it to nogil:

@neutrinoceros It's a good question 👍 Yes, I think so, to give exposure to as much code as possible. At this early stage, single-threaded performance will be worse, but CI testing can help find bugs. I "accidentally" found a couple with a PR that had nothing apparently related.

@bitprophet Nicky's Thai Kitchen has covered outdoor seating and good food. It's quite close to the venue.

@bitprophet I think I saw B&B this evening, with the little greenhouses outside. They did look cosy :)

Are you coming to US this week in Pittsburgh? I am!

I put together a helpful custom 📍 with the recommended local places from the PyCon US website to help me navigate - hope it helps you too in some way.

It's the eleventh of the month, so here are eleven links (mostly) to things I learned while looking up other things: https://buttondown.email/thingslearned/archive/things-i-learned-while-looking-up-other-things-7846/

hugovk,
@hugovk@mastodon.social avatar

@emckean Thing I learned while looking up things after reading the things you learned while looking other things:

  • There's a plant called Welsh onion, which is a kind of spring onion (scallion)

  • It's not indigenous to Wales or common in Welsh cuisine (can confirm, never heard of it before. The leek is the national veg.)

  • "Welsh" here means foreign, non-native

Wales is an exonym from a word for foreigner (see also the wal- in walnut). Cymru is the Welsh name, from a word for compatriot.

pyproject-fmt just got a new major release https://github.com/tox-dev/pyproject-fmt/releases/tag/2.0.0 now using rust under the hood (faster and more powerful)

hugovk,
@hugovk@mastodon.social avatar

@kytta @gaborbernat Do you need to run linters on a non-mainstream platform?

I run the linting on the CI in its own dedicated workflow, so it's on a vanilla Ubuntu. Then all the exotic platforms only run tests.

I prefer it this way: if the linting fails and tests pass, I know it's (usually) just an easy fixed needed. If linting is run with tests on all platforms, I don't know if a failure is from tests or linting. It's a form of "fail fast".

hugovk,
@hugovk@mastodon.social avatar

@kytta @gaborbernat Looking at the main dependency, there are wheels for musl (x86-64 and i686), manylinux (x86-64, s390x, ppc64le, ARMv7l, ARM64, i686) and a couple each for Windows and macOS.

Perhaps musl + ARM64 can be added too?
