@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.

Community Support (Your way) - Regular Ticket Support your way: low-cost entry or high-impact support of your local community. Just edit the price This ticket exists for two reasons: 1. You need a break on price right now — we've got you. $55 minimum (same as our student ticket), or 2. You want to support the community and pay way more (like, a lot more) — but your finance team Isn't a fan of the word “donation.” Skip the forms, support the community, and expense It like a boss.

#Python hivemind:

Is there a way to get `ruff check` *not* to treat code guarded by `sys.platform` as unreachable if the check would fail on the platform running the lint?

I am looking at adding `ruff check` to a project in the wake of a `NameError` that slipped past, but it seems to be incapable of catching this problem if it is guarded behind a platform check.

(if you reply to this to tell me to run `ruff check` on both platforms, you will be ZOTted, I mean the question the way I asked it)

@glyph @mitsuhiko I can tell you that in #python on Libera.chat, we have had very mixed results. AFAIK, not one of those users has become a continuing part of that community, but the things that lead most reliably to these users getting the help that they want are:

1) Avoid criticism of the chatbots. No room for persuasion generally, and flamewar is likely.

2) Much more patience is required. Choose your questions carefully, "too many" questions will lead to withdrawal. The extreme case is a user who is consulting the chatbot and the community simultaneously.

It's impossible to draw general inferences from an environment as pathological as IRC, but I would say these two points apply equally well to interpersonal interactions I have had in the local user group.

The overall impression I am left with is that the tools themselves disincentivize participation in a community, and incentivize talking to other humans only for swapping tips about tools, or as a way to get someone to "just" produce source code that fixes the tool's errors.

If I were @standupmaths , there would be some Terrible Python Code parsing the output of dnsqr and doing line fitting to the TTL values; and an entire video on how to estimate from such data how many real machines under the covers serve up some seemingly single service on the Internet, and a second channel one on how people did that from the Netcraft uptime graphs that it used to present a couple of decades ago.

And then a clever viewer switching from parsing text from a pipe to some proper Python DNS client library and achieving a 6283% speedup.
