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

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.

New guide: How to handle non-Pythonic naming conventions seamlessly 👇

@glyph Same laptop, same version of cpython (3.13), same requirements.txt file with pip:

real    2m5.404s
user    0m42.650s
sys     0m5.081s

So 125 seconds versus 14 seconds. Pip and uv calculate dependencies differently, though uv tries to be compatible. Pip did 253 packages and uv did 250. But pip works sequentially, one package at a time. One download at a time. Like many #rust programs, uv is "embarrassingly parallel."

#python

So I just rebuilt my personal #python venv in my home directory on my #linux daily driver laptop. I did pip freeze > requirements.txt to capture all the packages I had installed. Then I took away all the ==a,b.c versioning so I'd install the latest compatible version.

Then I ran uv pip install -r requirements.txt. This blew me way:

$ time uv pip install -r requirements.txt 
Resolved 250 packages in 2.38s
      Built python-ldap==3.4.4
      Built py-cui==0.1.6
      Built docopt==0.6.2
      Built email-normalize==2.0.0
      Built ecos==2.0.14
... bunch of lines...
real    0m14.028s
user    0m11.605s
sys     0m4.131s

Wow. 250 packages in 14 seconds.

If a highly customisable #python, #scrum or #agile utility actually sounds like something you'd be keen on using, I'd actually really love to know. v0.2 has a couple of significant design changes that would effect calling it as a library or creating your own templates, and I'd love some feedback on the design (probably in a week or two) before I merge it in.

But - `pip install scrummd` will already give you the scrum tool nobody asked for!

Sometimes, when coding your own thing, you do little things to make yourself happy even if it isn't _strictly in scope_ of the feature you're building.

I'm adding writing fields to #ScrumMD. I needed to rewrite the output code to make that work - which meant I'm moving (eventually) all output to Jinja2 templates rather.

And, to make me happy: I added ANSI color when using interactively to the new default template.

#Python #Programming

ScrumMD card in terminal. The headings and titles highlighted in color. Text reads: --- cli001: Display basic collection from cards --- status: Done # description A basic collection is a folder in the `scrum` folder containing md cards. By default, all cards are in the inventory. There's no filters being applied at the moment. For now, a card must have a summary. Other fields are optional. Fields are defined either in obsidian style properties: ```md --- Property 1: Value Property 2: Value --- ``` or by the text following a hash header with. A card's index is currently its filename. # cucumber **GIVEN** a collection of cards, and a collection folder _C_. **WHEN** `sbl C` is run. **THEN** a table showing the index and description all the cards in the collection is shown.

So #Zope released new versions of their packages, with pkg-resources style namespace removal.

Totally normal way to do the bumps:

1. At first, keep the existing testing hack (writing `__init__.py`).
2. Notice that the next package fails because it expects test paths relative to `zope` subdirectory. Skip it for now.
3. While doing the next package, realize you could remove that hack and simply run tests within the `zope` subdirectory! Go back and update all the previous packages, including the one that failed before.
4. Back to bumping. Notice that in the very next package you've had an even better solution: instead of `cd`, you just called `python -m unittest -s …`. Go back and update all the previous packages.
5. Back to bumping. The very next package turns out to actually expects test paths relative to the top-level site-packages directory. Well, you can use a hybrid of the `__init__.py` hack with `python -m unittest -s …`.

I did not make any good progress on my project to read GPX data with Python today. (Trying to read speed.) May need to just read it as XML.

There are a bunch of nerds who do Python and bikes though, so someone might have the code example I need.

#python and #pypi supply chain mitigation for *apps*

What we (and npm and cargo and so on) need is pipx, except it runs that app in a docker container.

So I wrote a little script to generate a docker file, transferred the credentials for a secure python proxy to it, build and run the docker file.

The docker part was hard, but 10% of users, 1% of the time would be able to do it, but that wasn't the worst.

Installing commands of a #Python package

What people are using to install commands (Python programs and/or shell scripts that parses options, imports & uses modules of same package) of a package?

I am aware of "entry point" in "pyproject.toml"; am not asking for or help with that.

If nothing comes up, may have to do edit those files during installation to supply the python interpreter (either to run with or in shebang line) & "sys.path" via Makefile & such ...

I was laid off recently so I'm looking for a new job!

I have a decade of experience as a web backend dev writing APIs in Python and Ruby in a variety of frameworks. I'm usually the git and Postgres expert on the team, and if you leave me alone I'll start writing tests and doing security updates. Used to help run PyLadies Vancouver, now PyCascades.

Looking for: full-remote, hiring in Canada, minimal LLM nonsense

It's 2025 and I am still not 100% sure how to have #PyGame go to sleep and wait for *either* an event from the keyboard/mouse/controller *or* an event from the network *or* a vblank interrupt without some kind of hard-coded polling timeout. Various attempts I've made at this in the past have violated thread safety rules and I'm not sure the documentation even covers all the constraints I need to preserve. #python

Every day, I"m thankful that transitive library tracing installers exist: #freebsd pkg(8) and #debian apt-get. I stared on #slackware and remember being awed by RedHat's `rpm`.

But...

How is it that installing `gnustep-base` gets me a #rust compiler, a #tex installation, #ruby (<3 you forever), #python, and #perl (because why leave any interpreted language behind?); oh wait, there's #lua too. This is not reasonable.

A #documentary about #Python just got released, and it's really good.

It talks about Python's origins, the founding of the PSF, the Python 2 to Python 3 transition, the struggle to increase diversity, Guido's resignation over the walrus operator, as well as Python's relevance as a language now and in the future.
