#OpenSource #Python

Having optimized a fair bit of stuff, the current paper cut I want to solve is having to constantly update things like:

- pnpm version in Node (and keeping it aligned with other developers and the build process)
- pip and python especially as it seems to leave you in situations where you have pip and pip3... I would love one python in total, please

Anyone solved this stuff gracefully?

#node #nodejs #python #python3

I plan to make a #Python CLI version of https://pym.dev/format which would be pip-installable

What should it be called? All of these would be both the package name and the command to type.

Hey #python folks -- what's everyone's favorite python profiling tools these days? My goal is to capture data during a run so I can shove it in a flamegraph and identify where the actual bottlenecks are.

Thanks!

Posit introduces Positron: New IDE for Data Science with Python and R

Positron is Posit's new, free IDE for data science. Users can work with Python and R. It explicitly does not replace RStudio.

Once again I demonstrate that I do not know how to use social media, not even Mastodon. Let me try that again properly with the relevant metadata: I have done my first post-ZeroVer release of #DBXS, an #OpenSource #Python raw #SQL #database access library.

GitHub Actions is dropping Intel macOS by November.

(Cirrus dropped it in Dec 2022, CircleCI in June 2024, Travis CI dropped all(!) macOS in April, and Anaconda last week.)

CPython has dropped it to tier 2. What does this mean to you? Not too much; we still support it, produce installers, CI failures block releases.

It means we only test on buildbots and failures must be fixed/reverted within 24h rather than immediately.

ICYMI: The authors of 'Building Better Research Software', a Carpentries Incubator lesson designed to provide “next steps” for learners after a Software Carpentry #Python workshop, are looking for workshop hosts and Instructors to try teaching the lesson and provide feedback.

🙏 The goal is to submit the lesson for adoption into Software Carpentry and we need plenty of feedback from the Instructor community to achieve that.

Please read the blog post and consider teaching the workshop in your local community! https://carpentries.org/blog/2025/08/building-better-beta-pilots/

@nixCraft I am well on my way experience-wise after fixing bodged-together #Python code for nearly a decade.

@glyph @hynek it'd be interesting IMO to see the breakdown of how many people use YouTube by level of experience. My hypothesis is that there's a (positive) correlation between level of experience and preference for written documentation over video documentation - I think videos are reasonably well suited for tutorials (if you are the type of person who can learn from a video at all) but poorly suited for the reference documentation that more experienced devs are more likely to use.

#Python #programming

Okay so I am putatively a #Python #ThoughtLeader ™ so perhaps I should go through and give this a non-jokey read-through, and share some impressions: https://lp.jetbrains.com/python-developers-survey-2024/

I really appreciate that they do these every year.

TIL that software (especially #scripting runtimes like #Python, #Perl, and #NodeJS) running in #Alpine #Linux containers is often slower than in other distros like #Ubuntu. This is despite Alpine being faster on startup and often vastly more efficient with CPU, memory, and storage.

It mostly comes down to Alpine’s use of musl libc rather than #GNU’s glibc. musl is optimized for minimalism, not raw performance. Also, the Alpine packages are often not compiled with as many optimizations.

PSA: Python no longer behaves the same way in #Vercel Node 22.x images as it did in Node 18.x.

If you are using raw 'pip install -r requirements.txt' you'll need to switch over to 'source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt' or a similar pattern.

Took me a while to figure out last night.

#DevOps #Python

@fd93 👍 Probably a good idea to always use virtual environments regardless (and use them liberally, e.g. a different one for every program you install). Much of modern #Python packaging infrastructure is not designed to handle conflicting versions of packages in one environment.

I created a simple Python CLI program to easily add configurable watermark text to an image or directory of images.

okay time for some niche #Python discourse:

The grants program pause is a good thing, actually. 🧵

Terminals, pseudoterminals, PTYs, oh my.

How does e.g. "tmux" do its "switch screen" stuff, and can I do it with #Python + Rich? I've found "pymux", which appears to be emulating vt100 in Python ... and then I guess re-rendering to the "real" screen? Is that what #tmux does (too much C for me to grok)?

There's also https://jvns.ca/blog/2025/06/24/new-zine--the-secret-rules-of-the-terminal/ from @b0rk which is great

There is probably one line of #Python that I type more than any other (nontrivial) line:

`HERE = Path(__file__).parent`

This is obscenely useful for scripts or small projects but I find myself using it in projects of more appreciable size, too?

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).

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.
