Any time I see something like this in a #Python REPL, I can't help but smile for two reasons:

1. Yes, yes I did forget.
2. I know some of the folks who worked so hard to make that message do exactly what I want it to do. Thanks to Pablo, @ambv, and so many others!

For real, many people asked me for their smaller and mid-sized environments, how to handle remote syslog of their nodes. I had some ideas (some of you may have already found my Rust interpretation of this) but I think having this included in #PegaProx as a centralized management interface makes more sense.

So, PegaProx comes with an own syslog server (ipv4/ipv6, udp/tcp, encrypted/unencrypted support) and is wired to the interface within the resources tab. Providing a quick overview of all your logs and filter options. The next thing is wiring it to the notification system of PegaProx, allowing automated alerting. Might be nice to quickly identify when the quorum got lost - all built-in into PegaProx!

A syslog integration (server & frontend audit) for PegaProx for Proxmox based clusters

I'm writing Python and I'm not a Python person.

I have a need to get a Unix timestamp of a time that is an arbitrary number of days ago.

In PowerShell, you can do something like this:

PS > Get-Date -Date (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) -UFormat %s

In Python, this is the best I came up with and it is ugly:

import re
import datetime
`int(re.split('\\.',str((datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC) - datetime.timedelta(days=30)).timestamp()))[0])`

That was from me reading module documentation and hacking away at it for a bit.

Surely, there is a better way.

I'm interfacing with an API that only takes datetime in Unix Time format and only down to the second in precision.

#Python type hint experts: do we like

foo: Optional[str] = None # or str | None = None

or do we like

foo: str = ""

?

Having None stand in for "literally no value" can be useful sometimes, but I find type checkers require irritating extra hoops downstream of a func/whatever call in that scenario, and find myself sometimes reaching for the empty string as a good-enough stand-in.

because most of the time it /is/ good enough and my use case is a binary "empty string vs non-empty string" question.

@neocolapsar same here, I am big #JS fan, but #python is so much nicer, cleaner, intuitive ... totally agree with you

The feedback was honestly amazing. Many were impressed by how PegaProx brings essential enterprise grade features to Proxmox clusters that are still missing today. We can clearly see the gaps that were fixed by #ProxLB, #ProxSnap, #ProxCLMC, #ProxPatch and many other ones! Keep in mind, PegaProx is free and fully #opensource!

That said, we know there's always room for improvement. Whether it is major enhancements or small quality of life tweaks, every detail matters. Over the weekend, I took your feedback from the calls seriously and integrated a number of improvements to make PegaProx even more intuitive and powerful.

Your input drives this project forward. If you feel something is missing or could be improved, let us know!

PS: Pegaprox also support #XCP (#XCPng) ans corss-cluster / cross-hypervisor migrations. So, you can quickly jump over to XCP 🙂

@glyph @lattera Indeed. And in fact, now that I take a closer look at that code, there are some *really* inadvisable formatting choices in there. Including cases where the author was actively fighting against the way #Python normally encourages one to write code.

Not that I think this is what actually happened, but if someone specifically decided to create an example of how you can write code that's "properly indented" but still badly formatted and organized, I could see them coming up with something that looks like this.

@lattera Those are exceptionally long lines and high levels of indentation, compared to most #Python code I see. (Or honestly, compared to most mainstream languages... Java is the only one that comes to mind where the code tends to look a bit more like that.)

#Python makes such great use of that horizontal real estate. /s

Alt...

Screenshot of Reticulum's source taking up a large portion of the horizontal real estate with just whitespace.

Looks like my language choices for #Pulumi are limited to TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, or Java. I know TypeScript better, but I'm interested in learning more #Python so I'll choose that. Time to get Pulumi installed! 🧵

#python wizards, is there a reason that sorted() returns a list, but reversed() -- iterable?

it feels very un-Pythonic

Python devs, is this familiar: Your team writes beautiful snake_case code, but every external API wants camelCase.

You could:
- Pollute your codebase with non-Pythonic naming
- Write manual conversion layers
- Live with the friction

Or you could use Pydantic's field aliases to solve this once and for all.
