Brian #1: New project to shorten django-admin to django because we are not monsters
Jeff Tripplet has created django-cli-no-admin to shorten django-admin to just django.âOne of the biggest mysteries in Django is why I have to run django-admin from my terminal instead of just running django. Confusingly, django-admin has nothing to do with Djangoâs admin app.âInstead of typing things like: django-admin startproject mysite projectnameWe can type the shorter: django startproject mysite projectnameI love this kind of developer speedup / comfort improvementsAnd yes, Jeff wants Django to eventually include this as the default way to run the command line utilities.Michael #2: django-unicorn: The magical reactive component framework for Django
Add modern site functionality: Quickly add in simple interactions to regular Django templates without learning a new templating language.Skip the JavaScript build toolsNo API required: Skip creating a bunch of serializers and just use Django.Brian #3: Testing some tidbits
Ned BatchelderDifferent ways to test to see if a string has only 0 or 1 in it.And also, a way to check all the different ways to make sure they work.Fun post, and I learned aboutcleandoc - a way to strip leading blank space and maintain code block indentationI usually use textwrap.dedent()partition - splitting strings based on a substringUsing | to pass imports to eval() - I don't use eval much.However, no pytest! Hereâs a way to check all this with pytest: Testing some tidbits with pytestMichael #4: The State of Python 2024 article

Brian #1: Loop targets
Ned BatchelderI donât think I would have covered this had it not been the surprising opposition to Nedâs code.Hereâs the snippet:
params = { "query": QUERY, "page_size": 100,}*# Get page=0, page=1, page=2, ...***for** params["page"] in itertools.count(): data = requests.get(SEARCH_URL, params).json() **if** not data["results"]: **break** ...Ned is utilizing the assignment in the for loop to use the value of count() and store it into the params["page"].
The article includes another version with a temp variable page_num, which I think the naysayers would prefer.But frankly, I think both are fine. Why not put the value right where you want it?Michael #2: asyncstdlib
The asyncstdlib library re-implements functions and classes of the Python standard library to make them compatible with async callables, iterables and context managers. It is fully agnostic to async event loops and seamlessly works with asyncio, third-party libraries such as trio, as well as any custom async event loop.Full set of async versions of advantageous standard library helpers, such as zip, map, enumerate, functools.reduce, itertools.tee, itertools.groupby and many others.Safe handling of async iterators to ensure prompt cleanup, as well as various helpers to simplify safely using custom async iterators.Small but powerful toolset to seamlessly integrate existing sync code into async programs and libraries.Brian #3: Bagels: TUI Expense Tracker
Jax TamâBagels expense tracker is a TUI application where you can track and analyse your money flow, with convenience oriented features and a complete interface.
Why an expense tracker in the terminal? I found it easier to build a habit and keep an accurate track of my expenses if I do it at the end of the day, instead of on the go. So why not in the terminal where it's fast, and I can keep all my data locally?â
Who hasnât wanted to write their own expense tracker?
This implementation is fun for lots of reasonsItâs still new and pretty small, so forking it for your own uses should be easyBuilt on textual is funinstall instructions based on uv tool seems to be the new normal: uv tool install --python 3.13 bagelstest suite startedpretty useful as is, actuallyNice that it includes a roadmap of future goalsWould be a fun project to help out with for anyone looking for anyone looking for a shiny new codebase to contribute to.Michael #4: rloop: An AsyncIO event loop implemented in Rust

Dustin IngramâAttestations provide a verifiable link to an upstream source repository: By signing with the identity of the upstream source repository, such as in the case of an upload of a project built with GitHub Actions, PyPI's support for digital attestations defines a strong and verifiable association between a file on PyPI and the source repository, workflow, and even the commit hash that produced and uploaded the file. Additionally, publishing attestations to a transparency log helps mitigate against both compromise of PyPI and compromise of the projects themselves.âFor maintainersIf using GH Actions and Trusted Publishingmake sure you use pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish, version v1.11.0 or newerthatâs itIf notâSupport for automatic attestation generation and publication from other Trusted Publisher environments is planned.ââWhile not recommended, maintainers can also manually generate and publish attestations.âSee also PyPI Introduces Digital Attestations to Strengthen Python Package Security by Sarah GoodingAre we PEP 740 yet?Michael #3: Django Rusty Templates

Brian #1: Thoughts on Djangoâs Core
Carlton GibsonGreat discussion on Django and Core vs PluginsSustainability with limited peopleKeeping core smallThe release cycleeembrace plugins vs endorsing plugins.Michael #2: futurepool
via Pat DeckerTakes the concept of multiprocessing Pool to the async/await world.Create a pool then delegate the work:
async with FuturePool(2) as fp: result = await fp.map(async_pool_fn, range(10))I would LOVE to see something like this in a broader background asyncio worker pool concept.
But that concept doesnât exist in asyncio in Python and thatâs a failing of the framework IMO.Brian #3: Don't return named tuples in new APIs
Brett CannonFirst off, Iâm grateful for any post that talks about APIs and the API is a module, class, or package API and not a Web/REST API. The term API existed long before the internet.âe.g., get_mouse_position() very likely has a two-item tuple of X and Y coordinates of the screenââit actually makes your API more complex for both you and your users to use. For you, it doubles the data access API surface for your return type as you have to now support index-based and attribute-based data access forever (or until you choose to break your users and change your return type so it doesn't support both approaches)ââ⊠you probably don't want people doing with your return type, like slicing, iterating over all the items âŠâAlternativesclassdataclassdictionaryTypedDictSimpleNamespaceâMy key point in all of this is to prefer readability and ergonomics over brevity in your code. That means avoiding named tuples except where you are expanding to tweaking an existing API where the named tuple improves over the plain tuple that's already being used.âMichael #4: Ziglang: Migrating from AWS to Self-Hosting
The Rust Foundation for example, reports that they spent $404,400 on infrastructure costs in 2023.Zig lang has decided to use a single big cloud machine + mirrorsExtras

Author: Stephen Rosen, Sponsor: Brett Cannon, PEP-Delegate: Paul MooreAccepted. Resolotion Oct 10, 2024âThis PEP specifies a mechanism for storing package requirements in pyproject.toml files such that they are not included in any built distribution of the project.âAllow us to define named groups of dependencies that can be independent of the main project.ex:
[dependency-groups]test = ["pytest", "coverage"]docs = ["sphinx", "sphinx-rtd-theme"]typing = ["mypy", "types-requests"]typing-test = [{include-group = "typing"}, {include-group = "test"}, "useful-types"]âmightâ work like this: pip install --dependency-groups=test,typing
but tool venders are able to define how they use groups. Of course.Similar solutions multiple requirements.txt files: requirements_test.txt, requirements_docs.txt, etc.no standard naming convention, not standardized package extras: not gauranteed to be statically defined (TIL)additional to main dependencies, so not independentMichael #4: livereload

Thatâs today!Whatâs New In Python 3.13Interpreter (REPL) improvementsexit works (really, this is worth the release right here)Multiline editing with history preservation.history sticks around between sessionsDirect support for REPL-specific commands like help, exit, and quit, without the need to call them as functions.Prompts and tracebacks with color enabled by default.Interactive help browsing using F1 with a separate command history.History browsing using F2 that skips output as well as the >>> and ⊠prompts.âPaste modeâ with F3 that makes pasting larger blocks of code easier (press F3 again to return to the regular prompt).exit now works without parensImproved error messagesColorful tracebacksBetter messages fornaming a script/module the same name as a stdlib module.naming a script/module the same name as an installed third party module.misspelling a keyword argumentFree threaded CPythonIncluded in official installers on Windows and macOSRead these links to figure out how - itâs not turned on by defaultLotâs more. see the Whatâs new pageMichael #2: PEP 759 â External Wheel Hosting
pypi.org ships over 66 petabytes / month backed by FastlyThere are hard project size limits for publishers to PyPIWe can host the essence of a .whl as a .rim file, then allow an external download URLSecurity: Several factors as described in this proposal should mitigate security concerns with externally hosted wheels, such as:Wheel file checksums MUST be included in .rim files, and once uploaded cannot be changed. Since the checksum stored on PyPI is immutable and required, it is not possible to spoof an external wheel file, even if the owning organization lost control of their hosting domain.Externally hosted wheels MUST be served over HTTPS.In order to serve externally hosted wheels, organizations MUST be approved by the PyPI admins.Brian #3: pytest-freethreaded
PyCon JP 2024 Team:This extension was created at PyCon JP sprints with Anthony Shaw and 7 other folks listed in credits.âA pytest plugin for helping verify that your tests and libraries are thread-safe with the Python 3.13 experimental freethreaded mode.âTesting your project for compatibility with freethreaded Python.Testing in single thread doesnât test that.Neither does testing with pytest-xdist, because it uses multiprocessing to parallelize tests.So, Ant and others âmade this plugin to help you run your tests in a thread-pool with the GIL disabled, to help you identify if your tests are thread-safe.ââAnd the first library we tested it on (which was marked as compatible) caused a segmentation fault in CPython! So you should give this a go if you're a package maintainer.âMichael #4: pytest-edit
A simple Pytest plugin for opening editor on the failed tests.Type pytest --edit to open the failing test code Be sure to set your favorite editor in the ENV variablesExtras
