I'm about to go to bed before I set up for a #Python event that celebrates the joy of technology and the responsibility we have to use the skills we have to improve the world.
A while ago, I caught the news that former #Python release manager, @swearyanthony is in the ICU in a critical condition with an unclear prognosis. I'm a Python person because I had the fortune to meet Anthony at the right time, and I'll be keeping him in my thoughts as this year's #NBPy unfolds.
I know lots of friends/connections are looking for a new job (or a better job?) so if you can get to Pittsburgh, then #PyConUS -- especially the job fair -- is going to be a great place to network with #Python employers. https://us.pycon.org/2025/events/job-fair/
I assume this happened because I have `dynamic = ["version"]` in my `pyproject.toml`, with the version computed by `versioningit` as a function of the current commit/tag, date, and working tree state.
Both `pip` and `setuptools` are resolving that, but with a delay between the two and if that delay happens to cross a date boundary, kaboom?
That makes sense to me but also seems like a flaw for dynamic versioning writ large…
Any #Python folks who have seen¹ this discrepancy in version between integration frontend and build backend have input? Is there some way to untie that TOCTOU-ish knot?
¹ no speculation, please, I am soliciting direct experience. I can generate plenty of speculation by myself.

Did you know that I maintain a #Python library for writing idiomatic, deterministic finite-state automata, where the inputs are method calls and the outputs are return values? Today there's a new release of it, with some minor updates and to officially add 3.13 to the support matrix (although it did work fine before): https://pypi.org/project/Automat/25.4.16/
remember that time @glyph performed a parody operetta about #python tool proliferation?
good times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcfERM6fcgU

"If you’re new to prompt injection attacks the very short version is this: what happens if someone emails my LLM-driven assistant (or “agent” if you like) and tells it to forward all of my emails to a third party?
(...)
The original sin of LLMs that makes them vulnerable to this is when trusted prompts from the user and untrusted text from emails/web pages/etc are concatenated together into the same token stream. I called it “prompt injection” because it’s the same anti-pattern as SQL injection.
Sadly, there is no known reliable way to have an LLM follow instructions in one category of text while safely applying those instructions to another category of text.
That’s where CaMeL comes in.
The new DeepMind paper introduces a system called CaMeL (short for CApabilities for MachinE Learning). The goal of CaMeL is to safely take a prompt like “Send Bob the document he requested in our last meeting” and execute it, taking into account the risk that there might be malicious instructions somewhere in the context that attempt to over-ride the user’s intent.
It works by taking a command from a user, converting that into a sequence of steps in a Python-like programming language, then checking the inputs and outputs of each step to make absolutely sure the data involved is only being passed on to the right places."
