trying to implement some functionality in #python I'm mentally calling an "echo" but that's probably got an actual name already. the idea is basically wrapping the setters of properties of one object so they store their values in an "echo" object as regular attributes.
this allows for objects that only stores property values (i.e. data only, no callables). these will be easier to persist to an object database, and with a reversal tool should function as a form of universal-ish storage
Hi folks! Former chair of @ThePSF Conduct Working Group with a message that might be timely!
If you see a member of the #python community behaving against the spirit or the letter of the CoC, especially if the comments are in public about an official #PSF event, especially if using a hashtag, please report to conduct-wg@python.org as you are comfortable.
The WG might not be able to take action due to the CoC’s scope, but its useful background for the inevitable next incident.
Yesterday, I wrote a #devblog update for my #indiegame after four years of working on other projects. It feels good to return to the unfinished update 1.0.2 for my #dungeoncrawler game "The Fire of Ardor".
I have a made couple of improvements lately and plan to release the update this summer:
=== Begin ===
"Jinja2 sandbox escape via string formatting"
"Incorrect Privilege Assignment in Jinja2"
"Insecure Temporary File in Jinja2"
"Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in Jinja2"
"Jinja vulnerable to HTML attribute injection when passing user input as keys to xmlattr filter"
"Jinja vulnerable to HTML attribute injection when passing user input as keys to xmlattr filter"
"High severity vulnerability that affects Jinja2"
=== End ===
If I want to transcribe every new audio file that appears in a folder on my Mac using (Mac)Whisper and then run the transcription through a LLM using Ollama to clean it up, what are my best options? Do I have to write some Python code myself or is the readymade tools for this?
I'm slowly making my way through a 8 thousand line python addition to #inkscape's #python library for parsing text and font elements in #svg properly. It's important and useful, but it's also a lot.
I'm not sure how to say "please run pylint over your code because my eyes hurt trying to read this". without sounding like an ungrateful jerk. 😅
La PyConFR, la convention #python francophone, c’est pour bientôt ! Si vous souhaitez proposer une conférence, un atelier, ou un sprint de #programmation c’est le moment
Welp, @andreasjung blocked me for asking him to not use his platform to spread COVID denialism. That's his right to do so, of course, but it really makes me sad that someone in the #Python community would do this.
To everyone who supported and went along with the mask policies at PyCon this year, thank you so much.
Now that #PyConUS is over, why not attend and support a regional #Python conference?
PyCon US sold out this year, and it will probably continue to do so. Smaller, regional events are going to be a more important part of how we support the growth of our community, but we need your support -- attendance and sponsorship -- to fulfil that role.
Are there any videos for #PyConUS? I saw a bunch of comments about the keynote and other talks about they seemed really interesting, but I can't find anything after the fact.
Django 5.1 alpha 1 is now available. It represents the first stage in the 5.1 release cycle and is an opportunity for you to try out the changes coming in Django 5.1.
This alpha milestone marks the feature freeze. The current release schedulecalls for a beta release in about a month and a release candidate about a month from then. We'll only be able to keep this schedule if we get early and often testing from the community. Updates on the release schedule are available on the Django forum.
As with all alpha and beta packages, this is not for production use. But if you'd like to take some of the new features for a spin, or to help find and fix bugs (which should be reported to the issue tracker), you can grab a copy of the alpha package from our downloads page or on PyPI.
The PGP key ID used for this release is Natalia Bidart: 2EE82A8D9470983E.
(Made it a goal to not require third-party libraries or tools for such a small task, but damn I totally get why nobody is using #Python's builtin HTTP client directly 😬)
Well, another #PyConUS is done (for me - #Sprints continue for another couple of days!)
It was excellent catching up with old friends and meeting tons of new ones. Pittsburgh was definitely a super cool vibe, 2025 should be fun too.
I'm looking forward to recharging my depleted physical batteries, so I can jump into all the important work we have ahead of us to continue to support this amazing community.
Hey folks, one last entreaty before the #PyConUS hashtag trails off.
We could really use your financial support. Our non-profit #ScholarshipFund is the travel sponsor for #PyCon US 2024.
We've recouped only 4% of what we gave. We're here to serve & happy to do it but could really use some boosts across the fediverse to drive donors so we can do it again.
Pls donate to help more people experience #Pittsburgh through tech conference travel:
