Python Tip #134 (of 365):

Use looping helpers

Python's "for" loops are simple: they loop over an iterable one item at a time.

That's all they can do.

Because our "for" loops are so simple and iterable-centric, looping helpers are a VERY big deal in Python.

We use enumerate to count upward while looping, reversed to loop in the reverse direction, and zip to loop over multiple iterables at the same time.

Today I am proud to announce that Phase One of my wildlife conservation project is complete.

This project is personal. I come from a family of farmers and wildlife rangers. Conservation is not just a cause for me, it is my heritage. After losing my job, I spent months in the fields, mountains, and valleys of our beautiful land, Namibia, talking to my community, listening, and building.

The road has not been easy. The project faces a serious challenge: funding. I have exhausted my budget. On top of that, my ideas are being taken by those in power, people who know that without their approval, the project cannot move forward. That is the biggest obstacle I face.

And yet, at the end of it all, if this project never sees the light of day, I will still be proud that I tried. Proud that Django and Python were the tools I chose. Proud that the open-source community walked this road with me.

I am also still open to job opportunities though.

Thank you, Django community. Thank you, Python community, Thank you, Ubuntu community.. You gave me the tools and the encouragement. This is as much yours as it is mine.

Python Tip #133 (of 365):

Beware of containment checks on iterators

Membership checks will consume iterator items and can completely exhaust them.

Using "item in my_generator" will loop over my_generator, consuming items from it until a matching one is found. If you need to loop again, you'll start from where you left off.

I'm primarily a #Python / #Django developer with strong #DevOps knowledge. But I'm also interested in learning technologies like Elixir/Erlang and Rust.

One of my strong suites in all the packaging work is the knowledge in my head.

"Why don't you write it down for others to benefit from, then?", you'd ask.

The thing is, this knowledge is basically "hot cache". I'm bumping hundreds of #Python packages in #Gentoo, so I remember stuff. And because of that, I can quickly notice some things or answer some questions.

If that were written down, the effort needed to find it would diminish all the gain. I mean, technically *it is* already written down, and the whole point is that I have it "cached".

Python Tip #132 (of 365):

Know your iterator concepts.

Items are "consumed" from an iterator as you loop over it.

And iterators can be "exhausted" if their items have all been consumed.

But not all iterators CAN be exhausted. Infinitely long iterators do exist.

Is this proper behavior for a capturing regexp?

```
In [1]: import re
In [2]: r = re.compile(r'()(foo)()')
In [3]: r.match('foo').groups()
Out[5]: ('', 'foo', '')
```

FYI I'm abusing this so I can get a consistent amount of `.groups()` on a `match()`. Sue me.

Python Tip #131 (of 365):

Know the difference between iterables and iterators.

Python programmers sometimes say "iterator" when they mean "iterable".

These terms are NOT interchangeable.

Any objects that you can use a "for" loop to loop over is an iterable.

Iterators can be passed to the built-in next() function. Arbitrary iterables cannot be passed to next(). Only iterators can be.

But all iterables can be passed to iter() to get an iterator from them.

@mgorny You're welcome?

We don't usually do RCs for patch releases, the last one was five years ago. The 3.14.5 RC was specifically for the GC change.

Unfortunately timelines were a bit short because I wanted to get this out, but it took a bit of time to prepare and test the patches and I didn't want to rush that, nor release during PyCon US.
https://discuss.python.org/t/reverting-the-incremental-gc-in-python-3-14-and-3-15/107014
#Python #CPython

Always appreciate how people release RCs to give others opportunity to test their changes early, then release final versions before the fixes for "breaks #Portage" kind of regressions introduced in the RCs are merged.

#Gentoo #Python #CPython

So either I've overdone it, or really nailed it:

The #python version of REBOUND is only a thin wrapper of the C code interfaced via ctypes. In the past, adding or changing a parameter in a C structure required you to also update the parameter on python. I have now one source of truth, the C code. I there define the structures, but now also an interface to them. This is not only used by python to access and modify parameters, but also by C itself to serialize data to a restart file.

Python Tip #130 (of 365):

Only use recursion for trees

Recursion is most useful for traversing or constructing TREE-LIKE STRUCTURES.

For most other problems, iteration is usually more readable.

Recursion is when a function calls itself.

Computer science classes almost always introduce recursion using factorial or fibonacci. Those are not great examples because those are both very clear (and fast) using a simple "for" loop instead.

Use None as a sentinel value

Python Tip #128 (of 365):

Chain method calls for readability's sake

When an object's methods return the same type of object, prefer to chain calls together instead of juggling extra variables.

String methods are the classic example of this.

Each one returns a new string, so they chain nicely:

normalized = message.strip().lower().replace(",", "")

Imagine if we made a "stripped" variable and a "lower_stripped" variable for those 2 intermediary steps.

I couldn't sleep, so I got up at 5 am this morning.

To kill some time before work, I wrote a new Python-based proof of concept for Copy Fail based on the original, but one that is easier to read (I don't care about the byte size bragging rights) and which does not push a payload into the page cache of a setuid exec (which is bad). Instead it just overwrites text on a temp text file. It works great!

I got the idea from the copy-fail-c implementation on GitHub.

#Python #Python315 #release

Just released: PrettyTable 3.16 🚀
Just released: norwegianblue 0.21.0 🚀

Add support for OSC 8 hyperlinks in the terminal.

https://github.com/prettytable/prettytable/releases/tag/3.16.0

norwegianblue now uses this to create hyperlinks in the terminal instead of printing a wide column of links. Use command+click with iTerm.

Also create hyperlinks for Markdown, reStructuredText and HTML output.

https://github.com/hugovk/norwegianblue/releases/tag/0.21.0

Attached are before and after images.

Just released: Pillow 11.2.1 🚀

There was meant to be a 11.2.0 on 1st April, but we put too much good stuff in the wheels and hit the @pypi.org project limit before it could all be uploaded. That was yanked and now deleted and 11.2.1 is back to normal size.

We'll try and put the good stuff back for 11.3.0 on 1st July but take up less space.

pipx est un outil qui permet d'installer un paquet Python (souvent un outil de type ligne de commande) sur votre ordinateur de façon isolée, sans que ses dépendances interagissent avec d'autres outils systèmes Python. C'est aussi ce que permet la commande uv tool.

Depuis sa version 1.12.0, pipx permet d'ailleurs d'utiliser uv sous le capot : https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/explanation/comparisons/#pipx-vs-uv-tool

A screenshot of elementary OS 8.1 desktop, showing Pantheon desktop environment in which there are two windows being displayed: a code editor opening a python code and a terminal running a python program. The top bar is fully transparent, showing 'Applications' button on the left, a calendar and clock on the center, and system tray icons on the right. There is a dock being visible on the bottom of the screen, where a bunch of apps and workspace switcher sit there.

OK @glyph challenge accepted. Here is python programming talk.

I have a script that uses "with Popen(...,stdout=PIPE)" to run a program and roughly run grep. Now I'd like to add a timeout, but I don't want to buffer the output (because it is unbounded), so run is out. Currently I am running /usr/bin/timeout from python, but this is, uh, unpythonic.

#python #MastOverflow

@glyph you might be interested in python-sql which is a protection against SQL injections. It aims to be lighter than full fledged ORMs. Our goal is also to make SQL queries #python objects that are composable and introspectable

We've been using it for years in #tryton so it covers quite a lot of the SQL standard. What's missing from my quick look to dbxs is the typing part.

Made a few more changes to the little download manager I'm tinkering with.

Python Tip #126 (of 365):

Prefer to return expressions instead of variables

If a variable name would make the meaning of the expression more understandable, ask yourself "does my function name convey the meaning well-enough already?"

If not, ask "why not?"

Sometimes "return some_variable" might improve readability, even if some_variable could be replaced by an expression. But usually I find an equivalent expression more readable.

Installing #Spyder on #NixOS, ugh... 😩

• must use spyder from unstable, in stable it depends on insecure qtwebengine-5
• it runs, but the interactive terminal needs spyder_kernels module
• adding python3Packages.spyder-kernels to the python env, doesn't help
• putting python3Packages.spyder{,-kernels} both into current Python env is a problem, how do I make a nixpkgs.overlays to pick certain Python packages from unstable?

I had a thought the other day while reading and modifying CurlFlow. The LLM that Jan was using (a 30B Qwen Coder thing) got things probably 90% there, but it made some decisions that might have "worked", but weren't optimum, even by my novice standards. For example, for importing, it just had line after line of:

import this
import that

With no error checking. So instead, I put this together.

If your command-line script has a couple functions, put remaining logic in a main function.

Python knows nothing about main functions but other Python developers do.

Once your script grows a function or 2:

1. put all remaining logic in a main function
2. write a if __name__ == "__main__" conditional guard that calls main()
3. consider extracting argument-parsing logic into its own function: I often call this parse_args

I have released version 1.15 of slixmpp, the python XMPP library.

Besides the continuation of @nicoco ’s quest to add every XEP under the sun, the most notable change is that building the rust module is now optional (i.e. in the absence of sufficient tools, slixmpp will happily be installed using the pure-python fallback for the JID module, which is kind of important for Mac OS or Winslop platforms).

Yikes, forget about Linux security

Copy Fail: 732 Bytes to Root on Every Major #Linux Distribution

“A single 732-byte #Python script can edit a setuid binary and obtain root on essentially all Linux distributions shipped since 2017.

The kernel never marks the corrupted page dirty for writeback, so the file on disk remains unchanged and ordinary on-disk checksum comparisons miss the modification.”

https://bit.ly/4w1TWu3 #ubuntu

Alt...

Text Shot: This finding was AI-assisted, but began with an insight from Theori researcher Taeyang Lee, who was studying how the Linux crypto subsystem interacts with page-cache-backed data. He used Xint Code to scale his research across the entire crypto subsystem, and Copy Fail was the most critical finding in the report. This is the first in a two-part series: Part 1 (this post): The bug and local privilege escalation Part 2: Kubernetes container escape What Makes Copy Fail Different The Linux kernel has had high-profile privilege escalation bugs before. Dirty Cow (CVE-2016-5195) required winning a race condition in the VM subsystem's copy-on-write path. It often needed multiple attempts and sometimes crashed the system. Dirty Pipe (CVE-2022-0847) was version-specific and required precise pipe buffer manipulation. Copy Fail is a straight-line logic flaw. It triggers without races, retries, or crash-prone timing windows.

The reverts are done for 3.14 and 3.15 and initial test results look good, so we're ready for release.

Plan:

* 3.14.5rc1 on Saturday 2nd (new)
* 3.15.0b1 on Tuesday 5th (already planned)
* 3.14.5 final on Friday 8th (new)

Python Tip #119 (of 365):

Don't just rely on the built-in types for argparse's type parameter

You can create your own argparse "type" with a callable that accepts a string and returns the parsed object, raising a ValueError (with a user-facing message) if parsing failed.

If you wanted to accept a YYYY-MM-DD date for an argument, you could make a date function:

import datetime as dt

def date(string):
return dt.‍date.strptime(string, "%Y-%m-%d")

#python #httpx #httpxyz

So for all Django-developers: it took a while but I now finally released my package "django-allresponses":

https://django-allresponses.x14.nl/

It contains HTTPResponse subclasses for ALL http status codes, which grew out of my frustration that there WAS a subclass for "410 Gone" which is hardly ever used but none for "204 No Content" or "201 Created" which I use all the time!

Workflow security continues to be a common cause of compromises of open source projects.

If you're using GitHub Actions and don't want this to happen to your project: use Zizmor and treat the findings seriously, especially insecure triggers and user-controllable template injections.

Let's talk CLI/TUI and Developer Workflows!

I’m looking to refresh my local toolkit and I’m curious: what are the absolute "must-have" CLI or TUI programs in your current rotation?

Whether it's a specialized utility for a specific language, a terminal-based interface for a common service, or a workflow-changing alias, I want to hear about it. I’m especially interested in tools that prioritize keyboard-driven navigation and accessibility.

My Current Favorites:

To get the ball rolling, here are a few tools I’ve been leaning on lately:

• uv — Fast, reliable Python package and project management.
• fzf & ripgrep — The classic duo for fuzzy finding and searching.
• tmux — For session management and persistent terminal workspaces.
• jq / yq — Essential for wrangling JSON and YAML without leaving the prompt.

What about you?

1. What is one tool you've discovered recently that you can't live without?
2. Are there any TUI-based clients for web services (like Mastodon, GitHub, or RSS) that you recommend?
3. Do you have a favorite "hidden gem" script or small utility?

Bon ben en fait la réponse était très simple : dans le fichier d'origine il y avait un "import itertools" qui n'était pas dans le fichier destination, et j'ai pas vu ça et donc pas pensé à le rajouter.
Donc "chain.from_iterable" était reconnu dans le fichier source, mais logiquement pas dans le fichier où je l'ai collé...

Comme quoi commencer par vérifier les trucs les plus cons c'est généralement une bonne idée...

Python Tip #116 (of 365):

Use pyupgrade to modernize your Python idioms.

Either install pyupgrade or just run "uvx pyupgrade" against your code.

https://pypi.org/project/pyupgrade/

pyupgrade will unneeded Python 2-isms like these:

# coding: utf-8
from __future__ import unicode_literals

It'll also change "super(MyClassName, self)" to super()

And it'll remove unnecessary inheritance from the default object class. "class MyClass(object):" will become "class MyClass:".

"The SC views PEP 829 as a sensible improvement to the interpreter layer, compatible with and not precluding future work in the installer and packaging standards space. We encourage contributors interested in that broader direction to consider proposing complementary standards.

Instead of yielding in a loop, use yield-from.

(Technically the 2 are slightly different, but that fact rarely matters.)

Within a generator function, if you need to "yield" each item from a specific iterable, you could loop over the iterable and "yield" each item.

Python Tip #113 (of 365):

Instead of functools.lru_cache(maxsize=None) use functools.cache.

Both of these decorators will "memoize" a function, caching all arguments passed to it.

To my fellow go devs out there. Is there a mock library for HTTP calls doing the same as side effect in Python? Like calling the same endpoint twice with the same request, then mock the responses to return 503 for the first call, then 200 for the second?

Python Tip #111 (of 365):

Don't use the __class__ attribute.

To get the name of any object's class, you can use:

You might occasionally see this instead:
my_obj.__class__.__name__

I don't recommend that approach.

We started by sharing goals, then everyone spread out into different groups and got to work.

Lots of energy in the room, and a great chance to collaborate and move Django forward 🙂

Last evening of DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷

A walk through the center of Athens and dinner with the speakers… really nice way to close these days.

Good company, a bit of wandering around the city, and some well-earned food after an intense conference 🙂
