Every Python dev has faced APIs that use camelCase or kebab-case while your codebase follows snake_case.

The typical approach creates technical debt: either break Python naming conventions or write complex mapping logic that clutters your codebase.

Pydantic's Field alias feature elegantly solves this: define external field names through aliases while keeping internal code perfectly Pythonic.

Integration compatibility and clean code that's maintainable. 💚

@glyph @helge Oh nice, thanks, I didn't realize there was already a PEP for it! Makes sense though

#Python

@helge I don't think there's a formal reporting mechanism for this. Since PyPI doesn't do anything special when a package is abandoned, there wouldn't be any point.

If a project being abandoned is causing some sort of particularly dangerous situation, I suppose one could contact the PyPI admins and ask them to do something about it manually. No guarantee on whether they would or not though 🤷 I think they typically take a hands-off approach by default.

- and does not care if I have any version of #python installed

This appears to be impossible

Six months ago, I got a note on an MR bluntly directing me to use "from X import Y" for _everything_.

I pushed back for various reasons - our style guide doesn't explain why it helps performance and readability, it makes it harder to search for code uses, it makes mocks harder because, and it contradicts the Zen of #Python.

I asked for an explanation. The reviewer said they'd get back to me.

They have not gotten back to me.

@yantor3d

When people have pushed that around me, I show them the Zen of Python. It's important enough that it's the climactic line.

> Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

`from x import y` throws one of Python's greatest features in the trash, and mashes everything into a single namespace, with all the opportunities for collisions, accidental overwrites, thinkos, and other problems.

Don't do it.

Ok. I've fixed up the #Python #Music arpeggiation and am testing it with https://github.com/ology/Music/blob/master/arpeggiate.py

Here is the transcription of the zany whole-tone wackiness:

A few measures of whole-tone arpeggiations, based on a random chord progression of extended chords.

Note to self: don't use naive datetimes in Python, just don't. It's so low effort to use UTC internally and you won't have to wonder "WAIT what happens to any of my time deltas when DST kicks in?" at 1am

@Eggfreckles

It's also licences, plural; extraordinarily repetitive (multiple copies of the same licences — GPL, LGPL, Apache, and others — over and over); and machine-generated with a python script apparently from embedded SPDX information.

If Google had actually addressed the Licence Hell instead of writing a simplistic Python script that robotically generates copies of things over and over and over and over, LICENCES.chromium would not be nearly as long.

https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/main/tools/licenses/licenses.py

Debian's machine-readable copyright file format attempts to avoid licence hell with many-to-1 cross-references to the actual licence texts.

Do you have ways the PSF can solicit donations and you're wondering who to tell?

Me. I will gladly accept new and innovative (and ideally ethical) ways for us to convince you to donate. Some of them, like https://wandering.shop/@phildini/115226663830809655, I will even pass on! #Python
