I really like this work of scroll art that I made, but I haven't had time to write up a description of it.

I'm working at the @djangoconeurope sprints helping land documentation improvements into Django, and helping people with their own projects' documentation.

And if you are interested in working with me on open-source projects and/or their documentation at Canonical/Ubuntu, come and see me - https://canonical.com/documentation.

i wrote another blog post on my personal experiences with packaging as a teacher, a user and a maintainer. And how giving a tech talk on a big stage felt! (hint: scary!)

i'm curious if others have experienced imposter syndrome and/or challenges navigating our #python packaging ecosystem / data science ecosystem! let me know what you think. 💗

How big of a problem is it for Python that when a non-technical Ubuntu user searches App Center for "python" they don't find the Python.org interpreter at all? (But do find other random packages.)

The python.org downloads page for Linux users just links to the source code downloads, which is less than ideal for non-technical users who just want to write some scripts.

Here’s a thread of some good stuff I found on the internet recently, starting with Louie Zong’s latest, “a song about perception?? and messing around with content aware scaling lmao” https://youtu.be/D9JKCoj8BJc

New article on Python's many command-line tools 📣

Did you know that #Python 3.12 comes bundled with 50 command-line tools? 😮

An HTTP server, a sqlite prompt, a code profiler, and so much more! ✨

GSoC Blog Post 1:

1. What did you do this past week?

I was able to establish a baseline using pyperformance on a machine that will be reliable going forward.

2. What is coming next?

I will begin analysis of performance and warnings generated by applying compiler options suggested by the OpenSSF guidance. Should be able to have some data to go to the community with so that a discussion can be had about what options would be appropriate and how many warnings are worth addressing.

3. Did you get stuck on anything?

Yes several things and they were all sort of infrastructure related. Although I had a dev environment set up prior to the week on my Apple silicon MacBook it slowly became clear that using the provided Docker container to emulate x86 would be an issue. I had spun up a VM on my own virtualization server I have but generating reliable pyperformance benchmarks didn't seem to be possible in that environment. Eventually I decided to dual boot Fedora on a x86-64 PC I have and this seems to be the way forward for performance benchmarks.

A little while back, I built a webpage to see visualize contrast for the 256 ANSI terminal colors. I went ahead and put it at a more reasonable location on the internet now.

🚀 I had a great time at @pycon US 2024 in Pittsburgh! 🌍✨ It was an amazing experience connecting with passionate individuals from around the world and exploring the vibrant city of Pittsburgh. 🌉

👉 Check out the full blog post here: https://kafkai.com/.../our-experience-at-pycon-us-2024.../
Attending PyCon US 2024 was a truly enriching experience. We left with a wealth of new knowledge, a deeper appreciation for the Python community, and a renewed sense of enthusiasm for our work.

A big thanks to @ThePSF

Reminder that you now have less than one month (per the timeline at https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2024/05/psf-board-election-dates-for-2024.html) to ensure that you are registered as a PSF supporting, contributing, or managing member in order to be eligible to vote in this year's board elections. I suspect that many of the people that follow me on Mastodon meet the criteria for contributing and managing membership, even if they aren't already enrolled as such yet.

Having learned the vernacular of the funicular, we proceeded to board this particular funicular. We enjoyed our climb (diagonal, not perpendicular), and when we reached the peak, the view was spectacular.
