Free but maybe stupid and bad idea but may be fun:
let your users install a Python package by scanning a QR code
Maybe a browser extension that scans the QR code then it knows it is a Python package that is pip-installable, then something magical happens in the background that pip-installs that package.
🆕 I've been using a new tool called prek as a drop-in replacement for pre-commit.
It uses uv and is rewritten in Rust (because of course) and as you'd expect is much faster.

Just released Drum Machine v1.5.0 and I'm excited.
You can finally export your beats as audio files! WAV, FLAC, OGG, MP3. Plus, you can add metadata like artist name, song title, and cover art. You can also set how many times your pattern repeats. So if you make a short 4-bar loop, you can export it as a 3 minute track!
I would love to hear what you create with it, so please tag me if you share your beats anywhere <3

print('inst')
def __str__(self):
print('string-gen')
return 'value'
logging.debug('%s', Expensive())
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.debug('%s', Expensive())
```
Yields:
```

#Python
I was called out for using old school % formatting instead of f strings today. I was using them because I remember reading somewhere that they were more performant in some situations. I looked it up, and it turns out it wasn't my use case. But good to know:
If you call logger.debug("this is %s to format", expensive()), the string won't be formatted unless the logger is going to emit a debug message.
Note that expensive() is an argument, not after a % sign.

For better or worse, I've seen a lot of tech things come and go, but one thing I'm grateful about is #Python becoming a generally uncontroversial choice for so many things.
👋 Hi friends, if you have been putting off buying an online/virtual ticket for @djangocon this year, please buy one sooner than later.
If you were on the fence, three of live talks (or you can stream in before or after the conference) is $99 aka $33 a day.
This also gives you access to the hackathon that will be running next week, and we have two days of virtual sprints that anyone may join.

@tintvrtkovic @carlton Global (in the #Python sense of "global", i.e. module-level) state is kept in the module object in memory, but once that module object has been loaded from a file, it exists independently of the file it came from. So if you did load multiple different versions of a package, they'd all correspond to different module objects in memory, each of which could have its own global state. Heck, even with just one version of a package, you could load some module from that package a hundred times and get a hundred different module objects in memory, again each with its own individual global state.
This is kind of what the importlib.reload() function does, although IIRC it also tries to mix the original and reloaded versions of the module in a way that is supposed to make sense if you don't care about the old module. To get a true fresh and independent copy of the module object you'd have to use other importlib functions.
@tintvrtkovic @carlton Anyway, back to the point... I think the reason #Python 's packaging tools normally won't install multiple versions of the same package in the same environment is more to avoid confusion more than anything else. Like, when you import a module from the package, which version does it come from? If part of your code needs one version and another part needs a different version, how do you identify in each part of the code which version of the dependency it should import from? And how do you express version constraints on a sub-package level? (like, if source_file_a.py in your package needs dependency-X>=1.2,<2, but source_file_b.py needs dependency-X>=1.6,!=2.0.1,<3) You can write custom code to solve these problems, but I suppose the developers of the packaging standards and tools looked at how it's played out in the past and decided that it's so rarely useful and so potentially confusing that it's not worth supporting in the default setup.
Today in weirdly specific questions: what happens in #python when using functools.cache to cache a method which returns a mutable object?
Do we save the returned value of the object (so that if we call the method again, we get the same value whatever happened to the object after), do we get an error (like if we try to pass a mutable argument to a cached method), or de we save a reference to the object (so that if we call the method again, we will get the same object, possibly in a new state)?
I was relatively sure it wouldn't be the first one, but wasn't certain between the latter two. It turned out to be option number three. More here:

Here's my latest blog post, about how I was able to take a mutable reference in Rust and let Python use it:
Je suis en train de traiter des dizaines de milliers d'archives qui contiennent chacunes des centaines de milliers de fichiers avec #python
En utilisant ThreadPoolExecutor et une Queue (avec un maxsize) pour exploiter les fichiers dans le thread principal c'est plutôt rapide et économe en CPU et en RAM.
Par contre, si un ou des fichiers dépassent le mega, ça fout le CPU à genou et les temps de traitement augmente significativement.
Pour info, je pousse dans la queue des messages qui contiennent chacun les métadonnées du fichier ainsi que son contenu en bytes.

If you have #Python installed and want to verify what's going on with #PyInstaller being flagged as malicious, here's all you need to do.
Create a file with the following content; maybe name it "hello.py":
print ("Hello world!")
Then compile it with PyInstaller, doesn't matter if you use the onefile argument or not:
pyinstaller --onefile hello.py
If Defender doesn't nuke it on sight, find your .exe in the dist folder and upload it to virustotal(.)com. It'll pop hot for a trojan.
So, I watched #Python: The Documentary.
It's a good one. You should watch it.
But here is a question that I have for fellow Pythonistas. #OpenStack was, for a while, one of the largest Python projects around, and one of the largest collaborative FOSS projects in any language. And yet, today it seems like the community has completely forgotten about those things. It is not mentioned in this documentary at all.
Why is that so? Not a rhetorical question.
Boosts OK.

I hear more and more often that #Python and #TypeScript (or it's sibling #JavaScript) are the natural choice for pretty much every project these days, just because LLMs tend to work best with them. While I get this sentiment, I also find it pretty sad...
The world of programming would be pretty boring if we go down this road. I don't know about the majority of programmers out there, but I still care about things like problem/solution fit (finding the right tool for the job) and the happiness I derive from working with some programming language.
I need #Fediverse help with some #Python programming things specifically profiling of which I have no experience what so ever.
I have this Python code that I want to understand better from a performance perspective, specifically why it sometimes appear to spend an awful lot of time doing something.
How should I about profiling the code? What's ... like the process of doing that? If you have resources on this I would be very happy to learn about them.
And I don't mean actually python implementations of things... but rather where it spends its time in terms of methods etc. Just to better understand where I should spend some time debugging and focusing my efforts before randomly choosing things to improve with some vague hope on things getting better.
Why use the Venture Capital funded uv package manager (with the unavoidable enshittification) when there are suitable alternatives like poetry & pyenv? #python
Do you like RSS, Python, and web development? Do you want to start contributing to FLOSS?
This is my personal RSS reader (running locally only), opened as a FLOSS project. There's a lot that I plan to add to it, but I don't have so much time for now. However, it might be interesting to some folks, at least for learning purposes. So, here it goes.
Lot of #Python haters out there and every time I read their complaints they are the most shallow, cosmetic, and easily overcome issues that these people obviously got in the first minute of reading about Python without even trying it. There are many good languages around, tuned for many different interesting and common problems. I’m sorry Python offends you, but look deeper. If you’re going to hate it; then hate it for reasons worth listening to.

I made my fitness/smart watch tracking not tell on me to 3rd party servers. I bought an #Amazfit Bip 6 watch, synced and updated the watch via the official #Zepp app, got the connection keys via a #python script, deleted the proprietary Zepp app, installed the open source, privacy respecting #GadgetBridge app from #FDroid and used the connection key to sync to the watch.
#SmartWatch
and then it all breaks down #coding #programming #javascript #python

Change? OMG!
For a while now, I’ve been thinking about moving my blog from Hugo & PaperMod to BSSG.
Both are Static Site Generators, both use Markdown, both are Open Source. But as far as I can tell, the frontmatter of the documents differs between the two systems. This would mean that I’d have to at least check each and every md file by hand before moving it from Hugo to BSSG.
The main content of my blog, i. e. the posts and fixed pages which I wrote by hand, would not be an issue. Currently about 50 files to review and adjust. But I have also moved all my posts from Instagram and Pixelfed over, using a quick’n’dirty Visual Basic script to convert exported HTML into separate files. Hundreds of posts containing one or more images, a few hashtags and maybe a short comment.
I could rewrite that script to accommodate BSSG, but what about the next switch to a new platform a few years down the road?
How do you, fellow bloggers out there, handle this problem?
Should I create all my posts in some kind of basic format and write a translator script to create the final md file with the correct frontmatter? Should I learn Python or Rust and convert the current Hugo style files to BSSG input? And speaking for programming languages: which one should I learn, Python or Rust?
So many questions. :-)

Apparently my #Python video downloader pops hot on some antivirus software because I use PyInstaller to compile the Windows executable. The source files and Linux binary (also compiled with PyInstaller) show clean, but anything compiled to an .exe in Windows and then uploaded to VirusTotal triggers false positives, and it is apparently also triggering Windows Defender.

Hey techy brains trust, I have a project in mind, and I'm looking for likely problems with it, before I begin.
It would mean scraping some sites for real estate data, then using that to publicise the underquoting agents are doing, name and shame style.
The aim is to see the extent of the problem, to garner some media attention, in the hopes the regulator nights actually do something to enforce the law, if their leader is asked for quotes from the media. In my experience working both for campaigns and at a regulator, this is the *only* thing that makes regulators do their actual jobs.
Anyway, I'm capable of writing a scraper, API, and site and getting it online. But I don't have experience running a scraper on other people's domains. I'm python-based, so I'm thinking selenium, Django, etc.
What are the pitfalls? What is hard and what do I need to overcome the hard?

En python, il y a 4 manières de formatter une chaîne. Il me semble que les f-strings soient la dernière. Comment les utiliser ? Cette cheatsheet vous 'lexplique. https://fstring.help/cheat/ #python #string #format
L'intersection entre l'implémentation des classes en Python et le pattern matching crée des résultats suffisament terrifiants pour que je me demande comment ce même pattern matching est réellement implémenté en Java. https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/python-abc/ #pattern #programming #python #horreur #bizarre #hack
... consistently. It's odd because it works fine when I use the same strings in a browser versus in the console. I wonder if I've got a misconfiguration in the container. I already traced down an ipv6 issue (nb: set it to static in the container configuration when there isn't an ipv6 DHCP server).
It could also be that the #python 3 code the #LLM is spitting out is at the ragged edge of my understanding.
I also need to make the code store all 16 images before rsyncing them to the remote...
I decided to actually install an IDE and do some direct work on the #Python code tonight to capture high resolution images from the high resolution streams that #Frigate produces. I stripped out the #VibeCode checking for the latest recording via the API and instead used a dumb time offset from the #unix epoch. It works more or less. About a 15 second offset from the live feed seems to work.
I need to make it a bit more robust where if it doesn't find something at that time stamp it'll...
Also this is the first time I've done anything in #python in probably a decade? I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've used Python 3.
Is it really this easy? It's almost like writing English.
Hmm I also need to make sure the packages I'm using are all the right things for the job. I know #LLM hallucinations end up with malicious packages.

* `profiling.sampling`: new statistical sampling profiler
The old `profile` module will be deprecated in stages over 3.15-3.17.

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.

@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.
Do you ever forget how to format a number like 1,234.50 in #Python?
Forget the weird f-string syntax for zero-padding and space-padding strings?
Me too.

Paste an example of the output string and it'll guess the f-string format spec you need.

Python 3.14:
We'll make the next release candidate (rc2) this Thursday, two weeks early, and add a rc3 on 2025-09-16.
We fixed a code generation bug that required the "magic number" to be increased for rc2. This means .pyc files compiled by rc1 can't be used in rc2 and will be recompiled.
The ABI isn't changing, and wheels built for rc1 should still work for rc2, rc3 and 3.14.x, but it's better to get this out for testing sooner.
