Love Python packaging? Hate Python packaging? FEAR Python packaging?

This talk was made for you, with 💜 , by our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll walk away inspired and empowered to tackle anything Python packaging throws at you. We promise.

Happy PyCon sprint day to all who celebrate! Come join pyOpenSci to:

📚 contribute to our guidebook
🚗 test drive a tutorial
🛠️ help with technical CI (and other challenges)
🔍 even get in there and typo-hunt!

We have ways for everyone of all skill levels to contribute! Plus you'll get to hang out with our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser (ask her about Juno - trust us!)

🥪 Lunch will be provided.

See you soon!

Great question from the audience:

You are maintaining an older #python package with many (thousands?) of files.

how does someone try to modernize, run black / other code formatters & linters on all of those (old!) files to modernize? perhaps chip away at it and don't setup pre-commit hooks until it's done?! thoughts?

#python #opensource #openscience #usrse23

pyOpenSci, 7 months ago to python

question: how do you get your team, PI, manager to understand and embrace the IMPORTANCE of documentation & software best practices for usability?

Our thoughts: If you want people to use / adopt your tools, documentation and accessibility is crucial.

What do you think?

Friends - we are looking for reviewers for a #genomics focused package - sourmash.

We’d like atleast one person with a solid genomics background but the second can be more packaging, usability, docs, etc etc focused. Please spread the word in your communities!!

Volunteers are the heart of everything we do here at pyOpenSci, and today we want to celebrate the incredible and tireless efforts of @nicholdav, who has shaped our Editor-in-Chief role into what it is today.

Although David is stepping down from the EiC position, we’re looking forward to his continued contributions to pyOpenSci and the broader Python community 💜

Can you believe it's March already?! While we're excited for everything on the horizon, we also wanted to stop and share some of the highlights from the past month! We're so thankful for our community and everyone who makes our work possible 💜

Say hi to sciform The sciform package, which is used to convert Python numbers into strings according to a variety of user-selected scientific formatting options, was accepted by pyOpenSci after completing the pyOpenSci open peer review process. The community support around getting the sciform package review ready was amazing to see! We’re going to pyConUS Will we see you there? Our Executive Director and Founder, Leah Wasser, had her talk about Python packaging for scientists accepted for this May’s conference. Congratulations, Leah! Leah Wasser also received a Better Scientific Software fellowship to create lessons around collaborative open science using GitHub. BSSw provides a central hub for the community to address pressing challenges in software productivity, quality, and sustainability. New Lessons are LIVE! pyOpenSci released new and updated lessons in our Python Packaging Guide, in order to help scientists learn how to make their Python code more shareable and how to create a Python package. Be sure to check them out and let us know what you think!

hey y'all - does anyone know about how the sprints signup works? I put our name on a room (but could easily share a room) but i am not sure whether i should have done that and also if I should be in the sprints intro session. i am listening to the closing in the grand ballroom now @PyConUS

We've gotten the question: how is pyOpenSci different from JOSS here at @PyConUS

Our peer review process is complementary to JOSS but more #python specific.We've been working with folks maintaining packaging tools, conda, pypa and others to develop a packaging guide - https://www.pyopensci.org/python-package-guide/ that contains standardized recommendations for packaging. we use those standards to encourage package maintainers to follow best practices and to help them in their dev workflows!
