Do you use PDF, epub, or other downloadable #Python documentation? Or do you only use the web docs?

The core team are trying to decide whether it's worth keeping various non-HTML builds (which are often slow to build).

https://discuss.python.org/t/removing-non-html-pdf-epub-etc-documentation-downloads/101343

Asking for an opinion from all my #python friends. The non-work Python project I'm developing has a few places where I need to find the most recent text above the current position that matches a #regex. I can either:

- Require the non-standard regex module (https://pypi.org/project/regex/) which has a REVERSE flag

- Create a "match all the things from the beginning, but then only use the one whose match.start() is before the current position

The first is clearly cleaner, but requires users to add one more module (they're already needing to add two others for different stuff in the program). The second is a tad kludgy, slower (but only by maybe a tenth of a second), but requires no additional includes.

Opinions? Strong opinions? First-hand experience with the regex module?

Okay, so, fans of the #TwistedFramework help me out here:

I am mucking around with writing a simple new thing that, in order to have type annotations that aren't *completely* useless, needs to deal with the fact that Protocol and Factory aren't annotated.

But adding annotations makes the entire framework notice that the pattern of paired-Protocol-and-Factory subclasses are inherently LSP violations, because .protocol and .factory are writable attributes and thus invariant.

@pybay This ticket choice is fully awesome! I would love to see other conferences adopt the same idea.

I don't think it's in the cards for me to travel to California for #PyBay2025 but I'll be wishing you a successful conference from afar.
