I'm facilitating another #PyConUS open space:

Still on Python 2?
Sun. May 18th
11am-noon
room TBD

An opportunity for software #maintainers who are still supporting #Python 2.x to talk with people who are still using Python 2.x. What do users need before we can migrate? What do maintainers need to know or get before we can fully deprecate 2.x support? What funding might be necessary to make these happen? A supportive and nonjudgmental discussion.

@b0rk I am absolutely not telling you what to do. I'm giving you a datapoint. I am a #Vim / #NeoVim expert. I have used Vim for ... hmm, maybe it's decades. Not sure. I use Vim key-bindings everywhere that I can. I have given talks and made YouTube videos about Vim.

I’m always trying new things. For instance, #RustLang. One thing I thought I'd try is the #HelixEditor. For a lot of people, and you may well be one, Vim/NeoVim is the right choice. If it is, I won't try to convert you. But my experience so far with Helix has been so positive, that even after decades of Vim being my favorite, it has been replaced by Helix.

I still use Vim wherever that's the right choice, for instance remote machines I don't control. But editing actual code in Helix using that language's LSP and with tree-sitter is absolutely delightful. Even the fact that Helix isn't a “finished” editor doesn't dissuade me.

At work, #Python is our main language, and we all have PyCharm. I use the Vim bindings via #IdeaVim. I prefer Helix even to that.

So there's your datapoint. Maybe someone you know well and trust has an opinion that sheds more light on the two editors.

A couple of little known bits of Python history: Python's initial local package building client tools (distutils) were born in the late 20th century as a common build backend for Linux distro packaging of Python projects and its initial transitive dependency management tools (setuptools) were born in the early 21st as a plugin management tool for an open source Exchange competitor (OSAF's Chandler project). Evolving from those foundations has been... interesting :) #python

Для чего ИТ менеджеру уметь программировать. И главное — зачем

Привет, Хабр! Решил свою первую статью на портале сделать легкой, без залезания в дебри и диспуты. Пусть будет своего рода научпоп от менеджмента в ИТ. Немного предыстории: где‑то около года назад мы с коллегами были на загородном выезде для манагеров. В программе было обучение и брейнстормы, в перерывах и вечером — активный движ и застолья. И вот как‑то раз, после дневных учебно‑мозгоштурмовых сессий народ разбредался по активностям, а я сел в лобби, достал ноут. Сижу. Подходит коллега: — Что делаешь? Ботаешь? — Нет, учусь. — Что учишь? — ООП — А зачем?

@doragasu And #Python is #Rust for sadists. It all depends whether you prefer the pain for yourself or your team.

Even though I like the language, sometimes I think #Rust is somehow like #Python for masochists.

so I thought to myself, I should try to use some of these tools at my disposal, I care about my friends and the folks I'm a fan of whomst I follow, but a lot of them are posting about doom more or less nonstop, maybe I should have a look at, like, the #python hashtag to get away from the fascist terrorism and the infosec breach nightmares and the AI slop and so on, maybe I can post some stuff that *others* can riff on if there's something good there

and, dear reader, at the very top of the page, consuming more than 100% of the space above the fold, on the page for the #Python hashtag, was this toot https://infosec.exchange/@gtronix/114473986225249233

Reading a 1584 treatise on the horrors of #Python monkey patching and duck typing.

> [...], the pestilent practices of Pythonists, [...]

Title page of 1584 book titled "The Discovery of Witchcraft" authored by a Reginald Scot. It lists the topics of the book. Overall, this book is an attack on superstition, charlatans pretending to practice magic as well as the Christian religious practice of accusing people of witchcraft -people who are frequently poor and/or mentally ill- as a political weapon.

Setuptools 80's prepping to drop the long-deprecated `develop` command - good time to look at migrating away if you haven't already, because this is the start of upcoming breakage. https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html#v80-0-0

#python

Alt...

Develop command no longer uses easy_install, but instead defers execution to pip (which then will re-invoke Setuptools via PEP 517 to build the editable wheel). Most of the options to develop are dropped. This is the final warning before the command is dropped completely in a few months. Use-cases relying on ‘setup.py develop’ should pin to older Setuptools version or migrate to modern build tooling. (#4955)

Yesterday, for reasons best left unstated, I invented a technique for combining #bash and #Python into a single file.

The motivation was to have something a bit more powerful than the #! to decide which installed Python to use.

The magic is in line two:

#!/bin/bash
""""true"
# bash sees this, python ignores it
if [ -e /path/to/file ]; then
exec python3 "$0" "$@"
else
echo "OMG, something is missing"
exit 1
fi
"""
# begin python fun!
from thing import python_stuff
python_stuff()

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/
