I wish I could stay on the GOOD line only, but my coworkers decided that we are crossing the EVIL line.
Maybe I am the only one who doesn't own a wide screen display, and maybe I am the only one using font-size 18.
Here is a blog post with links and references to accompany my closing keynote today at #PyConUS , on stories from a few years working on #Python packaging.
Early AM, we begin to work on the Django framwork via Python. I've feared the framework for a while, but today I am going to handle it. Never let the programming lang handle me. lol.
@tonybaloney showing off a Flask app running in Hypercorn by @pgjones with workers in subinterpreters that themselves each have the GIL disabled. Running parallel requests that themselves can have parallel processing. This talk has so much insight into web app and parallel performance. #PyConUS#Flask#Python
Next #PyConUS will, of course, be here in Pittsburgh. I'm stoked as hell to learn that in 2026 it'll be held in Long Beach, California, chaired by @elthenerd!
I can't wait to see all of my #python peeps there!
We're inviting YOU! to our pyOpenSci sprint, happening Monday morning at PyCon!
All skill levels are welcome - and we mean that! We have something for everyone! Whether it's contributing to our guidebook, test driving a tutorial, or helping us with some of our technical CI and other challenges, there's a way for you to contribute to open source.
@brainwane standup comedy keynote “So many workshops on how to get into open source but none on how to get out. Yeah some people aren’t laughing just going uh-huh.” #OpenSource#Python#PyConUS
#PyConUS is very inclusive - we have an open space for a #Rust meetup this evening at 7:30 in room 310. Folks who are interested in learning more about Rust and how it works with #Python please come! (bring your own food we don’t have pizzas) 🍕 🤷🏻♀️
Struggling a bit with the API of a #python library I write. I want to provide classes with sync and async methods. I am not sure if I prefer to use a single class with unprefixed and a-prefixed methods. Or if I want one class for sync and one for async behaviours. And if I split it in separate classes would you prefix the methods with an ‚a‘ in the async class?
Last night’s @pyladies Auction $60,000 USD fundraising goal was not only met but surpassed! Super thankful to the community for the support to empower women in #Python, to language creator Guido van Rossum for always being an advocate and champion for us, and to the many many amazing volunteers and #PyLadies who make our community that much richer!
"But other parsers know too much about HTML. They choke on or try to rewrite bad markup. They assume you care about the whole document. A pirate might make you walk the plank, but only a parser would make you walk the whole tree."
Happy 20th birthday to the #Python screen-scraping library Beautiful Soup by @leonardr .
The MLX is Apple's framework for machine learning applications on Apple silicon. The MLX examples repository provides a set of examples for using the MLX framework. This includes examples of:
✅ Text models such as transformer, Llama, Mistral, and Phi-2 models
✅ Image models such as Stable Diffusion
✅ Audio and speech recognition with OpenAI's Whisper
✅ Support for some Hugging Face models
I'm working on removing an important spreadsheet from Google Docs, and maintain that in LibreOffice.
Thing: In G Docs I wrote a few macros to sort the file in various ways, using 4 and 5 fields.
Libre Calc only allows 3 sort fields, and the G-Doc macros don't work in Libre Calc.
I've written a #Python program to convert a CSV to a file with fixed length, and writing a #COBOL program to do the sorting for me.
Sorting multiple columns in Python is a PITA. In COBOL it's laughably simple.
I wish something like the IBM S/34 #GSORT would exist for Linux. That would make this even simpler.
We have a wonderful pipeline of Linux Australia-auspiced events coming up for the back half of 2024, after fantastic conferences earlier in the year by the teams at #DrupalSouth in #Sydney and @everythingopen in #Gladstone
