Is there a separate discord for the sprints?

@kevin @offby1
There's a pycon-us channel in https://www.pythondiscord.com that's also being used for sprints.

Here's @simon talking about slop in the @guardian:

“Before the term ‘spam’ entered general use it wasn’t necessarily clear to everyone that unwanted marketing messages were a bad way to behave. I’m hoping ‘slop’ has the same impact – it can make it clear to people that generating and publishing unreviewed AI-generated content is bad behaviour.”

3.13 in is now built with -03, which seems faster.

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f41-change-proposal-python-built-with-gcc-03-self-contained/112743/13

It also has the python3.13-freethreading subpackage with disabled GIL (parallelly installable).

https://peps.python.org/pep-0703/

I'm working on building the experimental JIT (enabled on runtime via PYTHON_JIT=1).

https://peps.python.org/pep-0744/

Python 3.13 is now future-complete and I encourage you to test your projects with it. It will be the default Python in Fedora 41.

@hroncok And thank you and the @fedora team for adding these, it will really help the community try them out. Plus for all the testing and ecosystem fixes you make each release! 👏🐍

I've commissioned this algorithmically embroidered bag by the amazing Marie Roald and Yngve Mardal Moe!

"This lined corduroy bag is embroidered with a retro computer graphics inspired starscape with two light sources that light up the Python logo and surrounding asteroids. The pattern was made by simulating 2D raytracing using Python and TurtleThread."

Check out their poster session! Sunday, 10am - 1pm in Expo Hall A

Friends, don't let friends package alone. Come learn about how we are helping scientists make their software better by demystifying the packaging ecosystem . Whether you are a new or seasoned packager this talk is for u. My first pycon main track talk is today at 1030 am in hall c. I'm nervous ! I need friends to get me through 😅 @pyOpenSci

hugovk,
@hugovk@mastodon.social avatar

@leahawasser @pyOpenSci Excellent talk! 👏 I recommended the guide just yesterday to someone who's never packaged anything and wanted to publish a simple CLI.

Some more photos from yesterday's Language Summit. We had a full day of short talks followed by discussion.
The schedule: https://us.pycon.org/2024/events/language-summit/

A wide shot of the room, a U shaped table of around 40 people facing the presenter.
People sitting at the table in face masks. Russel Keith-Magee has the microphone as others listen carefully.
David Hewitt has the mike.

Photos from Thursday:

Pierogis at Market Square, delicious, like small cheese and onion pasties!

Jazz statues in Pittsburgh

Michael Winser and @sethmlarson giving a talk on the State of Python Supply Chain Security. I'm familiar with Seth's excellent work as Security Developer in Residence, very interesting to hear Alpha & Omega's cross-ecosystem approach.

I recommend the Jackie O cake. Go find Christos just for dessert! Only $3, your money back if you don't like it!

I just kicked off PyCon 2024 with the first talk of the Language Summit (and my first talk at PyCon!): "Should Python adopt CalVer?" It was an interesting discussion, let's see!

The view of the language summit from the lectern.

@jarofgreen The Language Summit isn't recorded, but there'll be a blogpost, and if we go ahead there'll be a PEP and discussion thread.

@tintvrtkovic The cost of YY.x is likely too high for the benefits, and 3.YY was well received.

Does anybody know how to suppress search highlighting on https://docs.python.org/? It really annoys me. For example if I search for re.match, the re documentation will then look like someone threw confetti all over it.
Reloading the page is my current workaround, but I prefer having it done automatically.

@adi You can hit the Esc to clear the search highlighting on https://docs.python.org

Planning my veg-ish eating for

Rosewater Middle Eastern looks like it has good veg options and Arepittas looks like it probably does too.

ShadoBeni also looks really good, though it's a bit of a walk from the conference center.

Folks eating vegan/vegetarian this trip: found any other eats that look promising?

(Editing to also add the not-officially-recognized but widely used hashtag as well 🤫)

It's REALLY weird to me when people in software mine research papers for their content and say "researchers" instead of naming the scientists who actually did the work they're using. We're human beings and our work is our livelihood (at a fraction of yours I might add). Name us.

Blessed for the community around me that has this value, side eye at the content engine that doesn't.

🐍🧪 Python 3.13.0 is due out in October 2024 and work is underway to implement experimental support for PEP 703 "Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython".

As the Steering Council noted in their acceptance of the PEP, to succeed it's important to have community support.

I wrote a little guide on how you can help test out the beta in your project, and help us find bugs in CPython:
