I have a possibly obvious-to-experts #Django question: is there a supported way for a Django “app" to depend on other apps, and implicitly "install" them?
@webology@bmispelon@offby1 Once upon a time we wanted to do this with the AppConfig classes, to fully dynamically load them on startup, wasn’t there a package that implemented this?
Close for inactivity bots are one of the most useless/counterproductive things in open source maintenance. They are never a good idea, help with nothing, and only waste both maintainers and contributors time, with an added signal that maintainers have contempt for contributors
@ocefpaf@minrk I strongly disagree, maintenance burden is real and maintainers have all the rights to declare issue bankruptcy, close tickets as out of scope etc. That you’re calling that contemptuous is a fascinating reversal of what open source is, without warranty, provided as-is and doesn’t entitle users to free support.
@ocefpaf@minrk That’s reductive, and implies that automation is somehow not a tool to reduce repetitive work (such as regular asking for contributors to respond to old tickets). I agree it should never be the first choice, but for projects with a long tail of users but few maintainers, I don’t see the issue. The message sent to users automatically matters though, to explain why it’s being done, to set expectations.
Hey Sphinx users, does anyone know how to configure a Sphinx project to not use #idN in inline anchors for subheadlines which start with integers (e.g. versions in release notes/changelogs)? I mean, other than prefixing the subheadline with 'v’ or ‘Release’? #python#sphinx
Wrapping my 3rd #PyConUS has me reflecting on the journey from literally asking my friends "uh is Python good?" in October 2021, to my first PyCon in April 2022, not knowing a soul in the community outside of PSF staff and having no idea what to expect and then meeting some folks who've become beloved friends, to feeling more confident and integrated last year, to exiting the final keynote this year and hardly being able to make it across the room greeting friends and colleagues (1/2)
@jazzband Setting up a governance policy to scale the administration beyond me personally, even if Jazzband is coming up to a decade, even after joining the PSF’s fiscal sponsorship program. At the end of the day, that’s my mistake and mine alone. (2/3)
I see the community continue to have a demand for collective and sustainable maintenance of the commons and organization around that. So I’m extremely excited that Tim and hopefully many others will follow that calling and contribute to our shared community.
@janl@CodenameTim@tarakiyee Funny thing is: members of another related community, @conda (and friends), are already actively working with STF. Happy to chat though! I’m in Germany after all ;)
Helsinki homeward bound after a fun and full week and a half at #PyConUS! Thanks to everyone at @Thepsf for all their work putting it on, and see you all next time!
Ugh. New iPad keyboard is definitely more computer-like, and if I’d wanted a computer, I would have bought one. Hope someone comes out with a good replacement within the return period.
