Min to participate is 2k/year/dev at your company Self-report annually Publish a blog post outlining your payments Armin’s post about launching Open Source Pledge and mixing money with open source Michael #2: Jeff Triplet's DjangoTV A nice aggregation of lots of Django conference talks Filter by conference Good search as well Brian #3: PEP 735 – Dependency Groups in pyproject.toml Author: Stephen Rosen, Sponsor: Brett Cannon, PEP-Delegate: Paul Moore Accepted. Resolotion Oct 10, 2024 “This PEP specifies a mechanism for storing package requirements in pyproject.toml files such that they are not included in any built distribution of the project.” Allow us to define named groups of dependencies that can be independent of the main project. ex: [dependency-groups] test = ["pytest", "coverage"] docs = ["sphinx", "sphinx-rtd-theme"] typing = ["mypy", "types-requests"] typing-test = [{include-group = "typing"}, {include-group = "test"}, "useful-types"] “might” work like this: pip install --dependency-groups=test,typing but tool venders are able to define how they use groups. Of course. Similar solutions multiple requirements.txt files: requirements_test.txt, requirements_docs.txt, etc. no standard naming convention, not standardized package extras: not gauranteed to be statically defined (TIL) additional to main dependencies, so not independent Michael #4: livereload Example from talkpython.fm: asset_bundler_watcher.py The docs are sparse, so see the gist above Extras Brian: Personal Blogs are no longer personal when AI gets too involved - KJayMiller Mind Your Image Metadata - Stefanie Molin Michael: 14% of our listeners are in Germany, thanks Germany!

Michael #1: Briefer: Dashboards and notebooks in a single place Notebooks and dashboards with Python, SQL, scheduling, native visualizations, code generation, and more. In Briefer, you can: Create notebooks and dashboards using Markdown, Python, SQL, and native visualizations. Build interactive data apps using inputs, dropdowns, and date pickers. Generate code and queries using an AI that understands your database schema and your notebook's context. Schedule notebooks and dashboards to run and update periodically. Create and test ad-hoc pipelines using writebacks. Briefer vs. Traditional BI Tools: Briefer is better than traditional BI tools because it's faster and more flexible, thanks to Python. Briefer vs. Traditional Notebooks: In Briefer, you can run SQL queries against connected data sources directly in your notebook. Then, Briefer will automatically turn your query into a data frame and store it in a variable that you can use in your Python blocks. Brian #2: Introduction to programming with Python Jose Blanca “Python intro aimed at students with no prior programming experience.” “Relies mainly on examples and exercises.” “Does not try to cover every detail of the Python language, but just what a beginner might need to start the journey.” Tech: “… built with the quarto publishing system complemented by the quarto live extension that allows Python to run in the web browser by using pyodide.” Runs on anything, since it doesn’t require a local install of Python Running 3.12.1, looks like. Although that’s a bit hidden. Seems like it should be more visible. Michael #3: setup-uv Set up your GitHub Actions workflow with a specific version of uv Install a version of uv and add it to PATH Cache the installed version of uv to speed up consecutive runs on self-hosted runners Register problem matchers for error output (Optional) Persist the uv's cache in the GitHub Actions Cache (Optional) Verify the checksum of the downloaded uv executable Brian #4: HTML for people Teaching HTML in a rather fun way.

What’s New In Python 3.13 Interpreter (REPL) improvements exit works (really, this is worth the release right here) Multiline editing with history preservation. history sticks around between sessions Direct support for REPL-specific commands like help, exit, and quit, without the need to call them as functions. Prompts and tracebacks with color enabled by default. Interactive help browsing using F1 with a separate command history. History browsing using F2 that skips output as well as the >>> and … prompts. “Paste mode” with F3 that makes pasting larger blocks of code easier (press F3 again to return to the regular prompt). exit now works without parens Improved error messages Colorful tracebacks Better messages for naming a script/module the same name as a stdlib module. naming a script/module the same name as an installed third party module. misspelling a keyword argument Free threaded CPython Included in official installers on Windows and macOS Read these links to figure out how - it’s not turned on by default Lot’s more. see the What’s new page Michael #2: PEP 759 – External Wheel Hosting pypi.org ships over 66 petabytes / month backed by Fastly There are hard project size limits for publishers to PyPI We can host the essence of a .whl as a .rim file, then allow an external download URL Security: Several factors as described in this proposal should mitigate security concerns with externally hosted wheels, such as: Wheel file checksums MUST be included in .rim files, and once uploaded cannot be changed. Since the checksum stored on PyPI is immutable and required, it is not possible to spoof an external wheel file, even if the owning organization lost control of their hosting domain. Externally hosted wheels MUST be served over HTTPS. In order to serve externally hosted wheels, organizations MUST be approved by the PyPI admins. Brian #3: pytest-freethreaded PyCon JP 2024 Team: This extension was created at PyCon JP sprints with Anthony Shaw and 7 other folks listed in credits. “A pytest plugin for helping verify that your tests and libraries are thread-safe with the Python 3.13 experimental freethreaded mode.” Testing your project for compatibility with freethreaded Python. Testing in single thread doesn’t test that. Neither does testing with pytest-xdist, because it uses multiprocessing to parallelize tests. So, Ant and others “made this plugin to help you run your tests in a thread-pool with the GIL disabled, to help you identify if your tests are thread-safe.” “And the first library we tested it on (which was marked as compatible) caused a segmentation fault in CPython! So you should give this a go if you're a package maintainer.” Michael #4: pytest-edit A simple Pytest plugin for opening editor on the failed tests.

Michael #1: uv under discussion on Mastodon It’s interesting that uv is slightly controversial Russell: As enthusiastic as I am about the direction uv is going, I haven't adopted them anywhere - because I want very much to understand Astral’s intended business model before I hook my wagon to their tools. Hynek: As much as I hate VC, [...] FOSS projects flame out all the time too. … To me uv looks like a genius sting to trick VCs into paying to fix packaging. We’ll be better off either way. Glyph: Rust is more expensive and difficult to maintain, not to mention "non-native" to the average customer here. … it can burn out all the other projects in the ecosystem simultaneously, creating a risk of monoculture Hynek on Rust: I don’t think y’all quite grok what uv makes so special due to your seniority. The speed is really cool, but the reason Rust is elemental is that it’s one compiled blob that can be used to bootstrap and maintain a Python development. Christopher Neugebauer: Just dropping in here to say that corporate capture of the Python ecosystem is the #1 keeps-me-up-at-night subject in my community work, so I watch Astral with interest, even if I'm not yet too worried.

Attackers posing as employees of major financial services firms. This previously happened via other means such as NPM This analysis revealed that the direct parent of the detected, malicious files is a PythonPYC file, meaning that once again the team encountered malware hidden in a compiled Python file. “The README files tell would-be candidates to make sure the project is running successfully on their system before making modifications.” What can you do (according to Michael)?

It's hard to believe we're celebrating the 400th episode of Python Bytes! From the early days of byte-sized Python news to becoming the source for all things Python, it’s been a wild ride. We've laughed over code quirks, gasped at new libraries, and said farewell to the GIL together. Whether you're a seasoned developer, a curious learner, or just here for the witty banter, you’ve been an essential part of this journey. To Michael and Brian: You've built a community that turns import this into more than just Zen—it's a family of passionate Pythonistas. Your dedication, insights, and humor make this show more than just tech news. It’s a weekly celebration of what we love about Python and why we keep coming back for more. Here’s to the next 400 episodes—may your code be bug-free, your tests pass on the first run, and your Python version always be up to date. Brian #1: Python 3.13.0RC2, 3.12.6, 3.11.10, 3.10.15, 3.9.20, and 3.8.20 are now available! Łukasz Langa Python 3.13.0RC2 is the final preview release Official 3.13.0 scheduled for Oct 1 Call to action “We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to prepare their projects for 3.13 compatibilities during this phase, and where necessary publish Python 3.13 wheels on PyPI to be ready for the final release of 3.13.0. Any binary wheels built against Python 3.13.0rc2 will work with future versions of Python 3.13. As always, report any issues to the Python bug tracker .” “Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and while it’s as close to the final release as we can get it, its use is not recommended for production environments.” Note: uv python does not support 3.13 yet see issue 320 Security releases for 3.12.6, 3.11.10, 3.10.15, 3.9.20, and 3.8.20 3.12.6 has binary installers, but for MacOS, only MacOS 10.13 and newer are supported 3.11.10, 3.10.15, 3.9.20, and 3.8.20 do NOT include binary installers. 3.8 EOL's in October Michael #2: Docker images using uv's python See #396: uv-ing your way to Python and #398: Open source makes you rich?

Compete by doing things you can do better due to niche and size. Keeping trust in the community is the most important thing. Contribution is easier for less complex parts of the code base. Beign open source means capturing a small percentage of the value you create. You have to be ok doing more with less. Also RtD is not just for Sphinx anymore. Their build system now supports any documentation tool.

Michael #1: Why I Still Use Python Virtual Environments in Docker by Hynek Schlawack I was going to cover Production-ready Docker Containers with uv but decided to take this diversion instead. Spend a lot of time thinking about the secondary effects of what you do. venvs are well known and well documented. Let’s use them. Brian #2: Python Developer Survey Results “… official Python Developers Survey, conducted as a collaborative effort between the Python Software Foundation and JetBrains.” Python w/ Rust rising, but still only 7% ““The drop in HTML/CSS/JS might show that data science is increasing its share of Python.” - Paul Everitt 37% contribute to open source. Awesome. Favorite Resources: Podcasts Lots of familiar faces there. Awesome. Perhaps I shouldn’t have decided to move “Python Test” back to Test & Code Usage “Data analysis” down, but I think that’s because “data engineering” is added. Data, Web dev, ML, devops, academic, Testing is down 23% Python Versions Still some 2 out there Most folks on 3.10-3.12 Install from: mostly python.org Frameworks web: Flask, Django, Requests, FastAPI … testing: pytest, unittest, mock, doctest, tox, hypothesis, nose (2% might be the Python 2 people) Data science 77% use pandas, 72% NumPy OS: Windows still at 55% Packaging: venv up to 55% I imaging uv will be on the list next year requirements.txt 63%, pyproject.toml 32% virtual env in containers? 47% say no Michael #3: Anaconda Code add-in for Microsoft Excel Run their Python-powered projects in Excel locally with the Anaconda Code add-in Powered by PyScript, an Anaconda supported open source project that runs Python locally without install and setup Features Cells Run Independently Range to Multiple Types init.py file is static and cannot be edited, with Anaconda Code, users have the ability to access and edit imports and definitions, allowing you to write top-level functions and classes and reuse them wherever you need. A Customizable Environment Brian #4: Disabling Scheduled Dependency Updates David Lord Interesting discussion of as they happen or batching of upsates to dependencies dependencies come in requirements files GH Actions in CI workflows pre-commit hooks David was seeing 60 PRs per month when set up on monthly updates (3 ecosystems * 20 projects) new tool for updating GH actions: gha-update, allows for local updating of GH dependencies New process Run pip-compile, gha-update, and pre-commit locally. Update a project’s dependencies when actively working on the project, not just whenever a dependency updates. Note that this works fine for dev dependencies, less so for security updates from run time dependencies. But for libraries, runtime dependencies are usually not pinned.

Michael #1: pyawaitable CPython API for asynchronous functions. by Peter Bierma It was originally designed to be directly part of CPython - you can read the scrapped PEP about it. Since this library only uses the public ABI, it's better fit outside of CPython, as a library. Brian #2: Annotated area charts with plotnine Nicola Rennie This is a marvelous, very professional looking plot, and a tutorial for how to achieve it. Uses plotline, which is “.. an implementation of a grammar of graphics in Python based on ggplot2” I actually didn’t know the gg in ggplot came from “grammar of graphics”. TIL Michael #3: DeltaDB A lightweight, comprehensive solution for managing delta tables built on polars and deltalake. Deltalake: Delta Lake is an open-source storage format that runs on top of existing data lakes. Polars: Dataframes powered by a multithreaded, vectorized query engine, written in Rust (aka fluent, rust-based pandas) See the docs.

Brian #1: uv venv --python & uv python I was reading this article Python Packaging is Great Now: uv is all you need It’s a little too “look, a silver bullet” for me, but it did point out some cool uv stuff I didn’t know about. uv venv venv --python 3.12 creates a virtual environment with Python 3.12, even if you didn’t have 3.12 installed on your system already. If it doesn’t work, try adding --python-preference managed uv python list shows all the python versions on your computer There’s quite a few “experimental features” run Run a command or script (experimental) init Create a new project (experimental) add Add dependencies to the project (experimental) remove Remove dependencies from the project (experimental) sync Update the project's environment (experimental) lock Update the project's lockfile (experimental) tree Display the project's dependency tree (experimental) tool Run and manage tools provided by Python packages (experimental) python Manage Python versions and installations (experimental) uv add --dev pytest will add pytest to your dev dependencies. uv tree rocks uv might not have “solved packaging” (or maybe it might have) but it sure is fun to watch the experimentation of different workflows.

Being a friendly and supportive community is part of how we are perceived by the wider world and is integral to the wide popularity of Python. We won a “Wonderfully Welcoming Award” last year at GitHub Universe. Over and over again, the tech press refers to Python as a supportive community.” Some communication recently, with the recent bylaws change, didn’t live up to our promise to be welcoming Please read the article for more details. Another quote: “We have a moral imperative – as one of the very best places to bring new people into tech and into open source – to keep being good at welcoming new people. If we do not rise and continue to rise every day to this task, then we are not fulfilling our own mission, “to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers.” Technical skills are a game-changer for the people who acquire them and joining a vast global network of people with similar interests opens many doors. Behavior that contributes to a hostile environment around Python or throws up barriers and obstacles to those who would join the Python community must be addressed because it endangers what we have built here.” Michael #3: Status pages for sites! Based on Uptime Kuma I covered last week Python Bytes status Talk Python status Brian #4: PEP 751 – A file format to list Python dependencies for installation reproducibility Brett Cannon Motivation Currently, no standard exists to: Specify what top-level dependencies should be installed into a Python environment. Create an immutable record, such as a lock file, of which dependencies were installed. Considering there are at least five well-known solutions to this problem in the community (pip freeze, pip-tools, uv, Poetry, and PDM), there seems to be an appetite for lock files in general. Rationale The format is designed so that a locker which produces the lock file and an installer which consumes the lock file can be separate tools. … The file format is designed to be human-readable. …Finally, the format is designed so that viewing a diff of the file is easy by centralizing relevant details. The file format is also designed to not require a resolver at install time. … Extras Brian: Hello, pytest! course is going well, and is purchasable as in pre-release mode. Planning on Aug 19 (or before) deadline. Not sure what the final price will be, but I’m starting with $10.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: Joining Strings in Python: A "Huh" Moment Veronica Berglyd Olsen Standard solution to “read lines from a file, do some filtering, create a multiline string”: f = open("input_file.txt") filtered_text = "\n".join(x for x in f if not x.startswith("#")) This uses a generator, file reading, and passes the generator to join. Another approach is to add brackets and pass that generator to a list comprehension: f = open("input_file.txt") filtered_text = "\n".join([x for x in f if not x.startswith("#")]) At first glance, this seems to just be extra typing, but it’s actually faster by 16% on CPython due to the implementation of .join() doing 2 passes on input if passed a generator. From Trey Hunner: “I do know that it’s not possible to do 2 passes over a generator (since it’d be exhausted after the first pass) so from my understanding, the generator version requires an extra step of storing all the items in a list first.” Michael #2: 10 hard-to-swallow truths they won't tell you about software engineer job College will not prepare you for the job You will rarely get greenfield projects Nobody gives a BLANK about your clean code You will sometimes work with incompetent people Get used to being in meetings for hours They will ask you for estimates a lot of times Bugs will be your arch-enemy for life Uncertainty will be your toxic friend It will be almost impossible to disconnect from your job You will profit more from good soft skills than from good technical skills Brian #3: My thoughts on Python in Excel Felix Zumstein Interesting take on one person’s experience with trying Python in Excel. “We wanted an alternative to VBA, but got an alternative to the Excel formula language” “Python runs in the cloud on Azure Container Instances and not inside Excel.” “DataFrames are great, but so are NumPy arrays and lists.” … lots of other interesting takaways.

Michael #1: Solara UI Framework via Florian A Pure Python, React-style Framework for Scaling Your Jupyter and Web Apps Solara lets you build web apps from pure Python using ipywidgets or a React-like API on top of ipywidgets. These apps work both inside the Jupyter Notebook and as standalone web apps with frameworks like FastAPI. See the Examples page. Based on Reacton By building on top of ipywidgets, Solara automatically leverage an existing ecosystem of widgets and run on many platforms, including JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Voilà, Google Colab, DataBricks, JetBrains Datalore, and more. Brian #2: Coverage at a crossroads Ned Batchelder is working on making coverage.py faster. Includes a nice, quick explanation of roughly how coverage.py works with trace function and arcs used for branch coverage. And how trace slows things down for lines we know are already covered. There are cool ideas from SlipCover that could be applicable. There’s also sys.monitoring from Python 3.12 that helps with line coverage, since you can disable it for lines you already have info on. It doesn’t quite complete the picture for branch coverage, though. Summary: jump in and help if you can read it anyway for a great mental model of how coverage.py works. Michael #3: “Virtual” methods in Python classes via Brian Skinn PEP 698 just got accepted, defining an @override decorator for type hinting, to help avoid errors in subclasses that override methods. Only affects type checkers but allows you to declare a “link” between the base method and derived class method with the intent of overriding it using OOP. If there is a mismatch, it’s an error. Python 3.12’s documentation Makes Python a bit more like C# and other more formal languages Brian #4: Parsing Python ASTs 20x Faster with Rust Evan Doyle Tach is “a CLI tool that lets you define and enforce import boundaries between Python modules in your project.” we covered it in episode 384 When used to analyze Sentry’s ~3k Python file codebase, it took about 10 seconds. Profiling analysis using py-spy and speedscope pointed to a function that spends about 2/3 of the time parsing the AST, and about 1/3 traversing it. That portion was then rewritten in Rust, resulting in 10x speedup, ending in about 1 second. This is a cool example of not just throwing Rust at a speed problem right away, but doing the profiling homework first, and focusing the Rust rewrite on the bottleneck. Extras Brian: I brought up pkgutil.resolve_name() last week on episode 388 Brett Cannon says don’t use that, it’s deprecated Thanks astroboy for letting me know Will we get CalVer for Python? it was talked about at the language summit There’s also pep 2026, in draft, with a nice nod in the number of when it might happen. 3.13 already in the works for 2024 3.14 slated for 2025, and we gotta have a pi release So the earliest is then 2026, with maybe a 3.26 version ?

Brian #1: NumPy 2.0 release date is June 16 “This release has been over a year in the making, and is the first major release since 2006. Importantly, in addition to many new features and performance improvement, it contains breaking changes to the ABI as well as the Python and C APIs. It is likely that downstream packages and end user code needs to be adapted - if you can, please verify whether your code works with NumPy 2.0.0rc2.” NumPy 2.0.0 Release Notes NumPy 2.0 migration guide including “try just running ruff check path/to/code/ --select NPY201” “Many of the changes covered in the 2.0 release notes and in this migration guide can be automatically adapted in downstream code with a dedicated Ruff rule, namely rule NPY201.” Michael #2: Uvicorn adds multiprocess workers via John Hagen The goal was to no longer need to suggest that people use Gunicorn on top of uvicorn. Uvicorn can now in a sense "do it all” Steps to use it and background on how it works. Brian #3: pixi Suggested by Vic Kelson “pixi is a cross-platform, multi-language package manager and workflow tool built on the foundation of the conda ecosystem.” Tutorial: Doing Python development with Pixi Some quotes from Vic: “Pixi is a project manager, written in Rust, that allows you to build Python projects without having Python previously installed. It’s installable with Homebrew (brew install pixi on Linux and MacOS). There’s support in VSCode and PyCharm via plugins. By default, pixi fetches packages from conda-forge, so you get the scientific stack in a pretty reliable and performant build. If a package isn’t on conda-forge, it’ll look on PyPI, or I believe you can force it to look on PyPI if you like.” “So far, it works GREAT for me. What really impressed me is that I got a Jupyter environment with CuPy utilizing my aging Nvidia GPU on the FIRST TRY.” Michael #4: JupyterLab 4.2 and Notebook 7.2 are available JupyterLab 4.2.0 has been released! This new minor release of JupyterLab includes 3 new features, 20 enhancements, 33 bug fixes and 29 maintenance tasks. Jupyter Notebook 7.2.0 has also been released Highlights include Easier Workspaces Management with GUI Recently opened/closed files Full notebook windowing mode by default (renders only the cells visible in the window, leading to improved performance) Improved Shortcuts Editor Dark High Contrast Theme Extras Brian: Help test Python 3.13!

For example it has no for loops, instead you're meant to use bend keyword (hence the language name) to expand calculations and another keyword to join branches. So basically think of something that resembles Python at high level, but without being compatible with that and without any of the standard library or packages the Python language provides. That being said does an impressive job at parallelization, but essentially it's a brand new language with new syntax and paradigms that you will have to learn, it just shares at first look similarities with Python the most.” Joke: Do-while

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: PostgresREST PostgREST serves a fully RESTful API from any existing PostgreSQL database. It provides a cleaner, more standards-compliant, faster API than you are likely to write from scratch. Speedy First the server is written in Haskell using the Warp HTTP server (aka a compiled language with lightweight threads). Next it delegates as much calculation as possible to the database. Finally it uses the database efficiently with the Hasql library PostgREST handles authentication (via JSON Web Tokens) and delegates authorization to the role information defined in the database. This ensures there is a single declarative source of truth for security.

Each package can define its public interface. If a package tries to import from another package that is not listed as a dependency, tach will report an error. If a package tries to import from another package and does not use its public interface, with strict: true set, tach will report an error. Zero runtime impact.

Michael #1: How to Set Up Pre-Commit Hooks A step-by-step guide to installing and configuring pre-commit hooks on your project. by Stefanie Molin Pre-commit hooks are code checks that run as part of the “pre-commit” stage of the git commit process. If any of these checks fail, git aborts the commit Sometimes, we need to bypass the hooks temporarily. For these instances, we can pass the --no-verify option when we run git commit Brian #2: difftastic Found this a couple years ago, but really using it a lot now.

Brandon Rohrer Good example of a small bit of code made into a small package. With speedups to dependencies, like with uv, for example, I think we’ll see more small projects. Cool stuff Great README, including quirks that need to be understood by users. “If the pacemaker experiences a delay, it will allow faster iterations to try to catch up. Heads up: because of this, any individual iteration might end up being much shorter than suggested by the pacemaker's target rate.” Nice use of time.monotonic() deltas are guaranteed to never go back in time regardless of what adjustments are made to the system clock. Watch out for pip install pacemaker-lite NOT pacemaker pacemaker is taken by a package named PaceMaker with a repo named pace-maker, that hasn’t been updated in 3 years. Not sure if it’s alive. No tests (yet). I’m sure they’re coming. ;) Seriously though, Brandon says this is “a glorified snippet”. And I love the use of packaging to encapsulate shared code. Realistically, small snippet like packages have functionality that’s probably going to be tested by end user code. And even if there are tests, users should test the functionality they are depending on.

Very short version: A Microsoft engineer noticed a performance problem with ssh and tracked it to a particular version update of xz. Further investigations found a multi-year installation of a fairly complex back door into the xz by a new-ish contributor. But still contributing over several years. First commit in early 2022. The problem is caught. But if it had succeeded, it would have been bad. Part of the issue of how this happened is due to having one primary maintainer on a very widely used tool included in tons-o-Linux distributions. Some useful articles Everything I Know About the XZ Backdoor - Evan Boehs - recommended read Don’t think your affected? Think again if you use homebrew, for example: Update and upgrade Homebrew and xz versions Notes Open source maintenance burnout is real Lots of open source projects are maintained by unpaid individuals for long periods of time. Multi-year sneakiness and social bullying is pretty hard to defend against. Handing off projects to another primary maintainer has to be doable.

Michael #4: Lockbox Lockbox is a forward proxy for making third party API calls. Why? Automation or workflow platforms like Zapier and IFTTT allow "webhook" actions for interacting with third party APIs. They require you to provide your third party API keys so they can act on your behalf. You are trusting them to keep your API keys safe, and that they do not misuse them. How Lockbox helps: When a workflow platform needs to make a third party API call on your behalf, it makes a Lockbox API call instead. Lockbox makes the call to the third party API, and returns the result to the workflow platform.

Ned Batchelder Turns out, this is really the description of “what’s a variable in Python?” that helps to make sense of the “variables as names” model in Python, especially for people coming from languages that use pointers a lot.

Brian #1: 6 ways to improve the architecture of your Python project (using import-linter) Piglei Using import-linter to define architectural layers check to make sure imports don’t violate (import from upper layers) can also check for more contracts, such as forbidden - disallow a specific from/to import independence - list of modules that shouldn’t import from each other Fixing violations a process introduced to set exceptions for each violation in a config file then fix violations 1 at a time (nice approach) use the whole team if you can Common methods for fixing dependency issues Merging and splitting modules Dependency Injection, including using protocols to keep type hints without the need to import just for types Use simpler dependency types Delaying function implementations module global methods set by caller, or adding a simple plugin/callback system Configuration driven Setting import statements in a config file and using import_string() at runtime Replace function calls with event-driven approaches Michael #2: Mountaineer Mountaineer is a batteries-included web framework for Python and React. Mountaineer focuses on developer productivity above all else, with production speed a close second. 📝 Typehints up and down the stack: frontend, backend, and database 🎙️ Trivially easy client[HTML_REMOVED]server communication, data binding, and function calling 🌎 Optimized server rendering for better accessibility and SEO 🏹 Static analysis of web pages for strong validation: link validity, data access, etc. 🤩 Skip the API or Node.js server just to serve frontend clients Brian #3: Why Python's Integer Division Floors Guido van Rossum Integer division always floors (toward negative infinity) instead of truncating. (C truncates) 5//2 → 2 -5//2 → -3 5//-2 → -3 Reason, For nice mathematical relationships with // and % (modulo). a//b = quotient (q), a%b = remainder (r) such that b*q + r = a, and 0 <= r < b This works for both positive and negative a values For negative b, the second rule has to change to 0 >= r > b If you truncate (like C does), you have to use abs(r) for the first rule to work. Theory of why C doesn’t do it this way: Probably a hardware limitation at the time when C was designed, due to “sign + magnitude” integers instead of modern two’s compliment integers.

Michael #1: AppleCrate By Rhet Turnbull (from Building macOS Apps episode) AppleCrate is a tool for creating native macOS installers for your command line tools. It's useful for creating installers for command line tools written in any language. Tools written in interpreted languages like Python will need to be first processed with a tool like pyinstaller to create a standalone executable. AppleCrate uses Jinja2 templates to generate the files required for the installer. This allows you to use template variables in your files or command line parameters to customize the installer.

Granian design goals are: Have a single, correct HTTP implementation, supporting versions 1, 2 (and eventually 3) Provide a single package for several platforms Avoid the usual Gunicorn + uvicorn + http-tools dependency composition on unix systems Provide stable performance when compared to existing alternatives Could use better logging But making my own taught me maybe I prefer that! Originates from the Emmett framework. Brian #2: pytest 8 is here Improved diffs: Very verbose -vv is a colored diff, instead of a big chunk of red. Python code in error reports is now syntax-highlighted as Python. The sections in the error reports are now better separated. Diff for standard library container types are improved. Added more comprehensive set assertion rewrites for comparisons other than equality ==, with the following operations now providing better failure messages: !=, <=, >=, <, and >. Improvements to -r for xfailures and xpasses Report tracebacks for xfailures when -rx is set. Report captured output for xpasses when -rX is set. For xpasses, add - in summary between test name and reason, to match how xfail is displayed. This one was important to me. Massively helps when checking/debugging xfail/xpass outcomes in CI.

Brian #4: New GitHub Copilot Research Finds 'Downward Pressure on Code Quality' David Ramel Regarding “…the quality and maintainability of AI-assisted code compared to what would have been written by a human.” Q: "Is it more similar to the careful, refined contributions of a Senior Developer, or more akin to the disjointed work of a short-term contractor?" A: "We find disconcerting trends for maintainability. Code churn -- the percentage of lines that are reverted or updated less than two weeks after being authored -- is projected to double in 2024 compared to its 2021, pre-AI baseline. We further find that the percentage of 'added code' and 'copy/pasted code' is increasing in proportion to 'updated,' 'deleted,' and 'moved 'code. In this regard, AI-generated code resembles an itinerant contributor, prone to violate the DRY-ness [don't repeat yourself] of the repos visited." Extras Brian: Did I mention pytest 8?

The big advantage of using this directly (as opposed to converting to pandas/numpy, using their business day tools, and then converting back) is that polars-business fits right in with the Polars lazy API. This means you'll still be able to get the gains from the Polars query optimiser without having to step into eager execution. All you need to use is it is pip install polars-business Written in Rust, but end-users doesn't need Rust to run it, Python is all you need.

Brian #1: exclude_also with coverage.py Interesting exchange between Pamela Fox, Hugo van Kemenade, and myself where we all discover exclude_also, even though it’s been there since February This is cool because you can exclude common “should I cover this? It’s just for debugging.” kinda stuff, and other “I don’t wanna test that” places. To exclude code blocks, we can use *# pragma: no cover* in the code. Or we can list lines in coverage setting with exclude_lines, but you have to also list # pragma: no cover, which is weird. exclude_also just just right.

A new build configuration flag, --disable-gil will be added to the configure script that will build CPython with support for running without the global interpreter lock. "In short, the SC accepts PEP 703, but with clear provisio: that the rollout be gradual and break as little as possible, that we can roll back any changes that turn out to be too disruptive – which includes potentially rolling back all of PEP 703 entirely if necessary (however unlikely or undesirable we expect that to be)." Removing the global interpreter lock requires substantial changes to CPython internals, but relatively few changes to the public Python and C APIs. The implementation changes can be grouped into the following four categories: Reference counting Memory management Container thread-safety Locking and atomic APIs Brian #4: Why is the Django Admin “Ugly”? Vince Salvino Some great quotes from the article: "The Django admin is not ugly, rather, no effort was made to make it a beautiful end-user tool.” - Ken Whitesell “The admin’s recommended use is limited to an organization’s internal management tool. It’s not intended for building your entire front end around.” - Django docs “The Django admin was built for Phil.” - Jacob Kaplan-Moss “Even in the 0.9x days we used to have a image that said “Admin: it’s not your app”.” - Curtis Maloney As Curtis put it, “encouraging people to build their own management interface, and treat admin as a DB admin tool, has saved a lot of people pain... the effort to customise it grows far faster than the payoffs.” Extras Brian: Local Conferences: Big Potential Michael: Data Science Jumpstart with 10 Projects course is out!

Brian #3: The Python dictionary dispatch pattern I kinda love (and hate) jump tables in C We don’t talk about dictionary dispatch much in Python, so this is nice, if not dangerous. Short story: you can store lambdas or functions in dictionaries, then look them up and call them at the same time. Also, I gotta shout out to the first blogroll I’ve seen in a very long time.

Brian #2: Switching to Hatch Oliver Andrich Hatch has some interesting features Template built from hatch new myproject includes isolating dev, test, lint virtual environments. Each env can have scripts Test matrix ala tox, but possibly easier to express complex matrices. May not even need tox then, but then now you have hatch. A way to specify which optional dependencies needed for default environment. Notes from Brian One premise is that lots of projects are now using hatch. I don’t know if that’s true. A quick spot check of a few projects include projects that use hatchling. While hatchling is the back end to hatch, they are not the same. I use hatchling a lot now, but haven’t picked up using hatch. But I do want to try it more after reading this article. Michael #3: Alpha release of the Ruff formatter vis Sky Kasko Charlie Marsh announced that an alpha version of a Ruff formatter has been released in Ruff v0.0.289. The formatter is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Black, but with an excessive focus on performance and direct integration with Ruff. Sky says: I can't find any benchmarks that have been released yet, but I did some extremely unscientific testing and found the Ruff formatter to be around 5 to 10 times faster than Black when running on already-formatted code or in a small codebase, and 75 times faster when running on a large codebase of unformatted code. (The second outcome probably isn't very important since most people would not often be formatting thousands of lines of completely unformatted code.) For more info, see the README: https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/blob/main/crates/ruff_python_formatter/README.md Brian #4: What is wrong with TOML? Colm O'Connor Suggested by Will McGugan This is a comparison of TOML vs StrictYAML under the use case of “readable story tests”. TLDR; For smallish things like pyproject.toml, toml is fine. For huge files, something like StrictYAML may be less horrible. from Brian: Short answer: Nothing, unless you’re doing crazy things with it. Re “readable story tests”: WTF? Neither of these are something I’d like to maintain.

Brian #1: Heliclockter - Like datetime, but more timezone-aware Suggested by Peter Nilsson The library exposes 3 classes: datetime_tz, a datetime ensured to be timezone-aware. datetime_local, a datetime ensured to be timezone-aware in the local timezone. datetime_utc, a datetime ensured to be timezone-aware in the UTC+0 timezone. Michael #2: Wagtail 5 Wagtail is the leading open-source Python CMS, based on Django. Anything you can do in Python or Django, you can do in Wagtail. Wagtail 5.0 provides even more options for your content creation experience Dark mode has arrived SVG support Enhanced accessibility checker Delete more safely Some breaking changes in it because this release removes some of the old code paths that were maintained to give people more time to adapt their code to the new upgrades Add custom validation logic to your Wagtail projects. You can now attach errors to specific child blocks in StreamField. Brian #3: Git log customization Justin Joyce Just a simple git log --oneline makes the log so much more readable, but don’t stop there. --graph helps to show different branches -10 shows the last 10 commits. And this beauty in .gitconfig makes git lg mostly do what you want most of the time: [alias] lg = log --graph -10 --format='%C(yellow)%h%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)[HTML_REMOVED]%Creset' Michael #4: MiniJinja template engine MiniJinja is a powerful but minimal dependency template engine for Rust compatible with Jinja/Jinja2 Comes with integration back into Python via minijinja-py package. MiniJinja has a stronger sandbox than Jinja2 and might perform ever so slightly better in some situations. However you should be aware that due to the marshalling that needs to happen in either direction there is a certain amount of loss of information. Compiles to WebAssembly Extras Brian: The pytest Primary Power course is ready. To celebrate wrapping up the first course, pytest Primary Power is $49, the bundle is $99.

Follow up from docstrings: From Rhet John Hagen: You can certainly omit the type information from the docstring when you are using typehints. This is the way I've seen almost all modern usages of Google style docstrings nowadays. They still have some examples that include the type information because the original standard pre-dated Python 3 type annotations. Here is a simple example: https://github.com/johnthagen/python-blueprint/blob/main/src/fact/lib.py#L5 This also shows off the next point that you brought up: can I document all of the exceptions that a function could raise. Google docstrings have the "Raises:" block for this, and I find it pretty nice and concise for when this is needed. Also, PyCharm can be configured to autocomplete and render Google style docstrings https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/settings-tools-python-integrated-tools.html Tools | Python Integrated Tools | Docstrings | Docstring Format: Google What's nice about this, is that then PyCharm will render the google style docstrings in the Quick Doc function (Ctrl+Q), making the headers bold and larger and lists look nice so it's easy to read.

Brian #1: Differentiating between writing down dependencies to use packages and for packages themselves Brett Cannon Why can’t we just use pyproject.toml and stop using requirements.txt? Nope. At least not yet. They’re currently for different things. pyproject.toml There’s project.dependencies and project.optional-dependencies.tests that kinda would work for listing dependencies for an app. But you can’t say pip install -r pyproject.toml. It doesn’t work. And that’s weird. project is intended for packaged projects. requirements.txt for applications and other non-packaged projects It has specific versions works great with pip What then? Either we stick with requirements.txt Or we invent some other file, maybe requirements.toml? Or maybe (Brian’s comment), add something like [application] and application.dependencies and application.optional-dependencies.tests to pyproject.toml Michael #2: PythonMonkey PythonMonkey is a Mozilla SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine embedded into the Python VM, using the Python engine to provide the JS host environment. This product is in an early stage, approximately 80% to MVP as of July 2023. It is under active development by Distributive. External contributions and feedback are welcome and encouraged. It will enable JavaScript libraries to be used seamlessly in Python code and vice versa — without any significant performance penalties. Call Python packages like NumPy from within a JavaScript library, or use NPM packages like [crypto-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/crypto-js) directly from Python. Executing WebAssembly modules in Python becomes trivial using the WebAssembly API and engine from SpiderMonkey. More details in Will Pringle’s article. Brian #3: Quirks of Python package versioning Seth Larson Yes, we have SemVer, 1.2.3, and CalVer, 2023.6.1, and suffixes for pre-release, 1.2.3pre1. But it gets way more fun than that, if you get creative Here’s a few v is an optional prefix, like v.1.0 You can include an “Epoch” and separate it from the version with a !, like 20!1.2.3 Local versions with alphanumerics, periods, dashes, underscores, like 1.0.0+ubuntu-1. PyPI rejects those. That’s probably good. Long versions. There’s no max length for a version number. How about 1.2.3.4000000000000000001?

The context manager is useful in cases when you want to apply timeout logic around block of code or in cases when asyncio.wait_for() is not suitable. Not finished yet timeout can be rescheduled by shift_by() or shift_to() methods Brian #2: PyPI Project URLs Cheatsheet Daniel Roy Greenfield There’s some cool icons available under “Project Links” on pypi.org project pages. How do you get those? And which ones are available. Daniel has found out where to look, and built us a cheat sheet. Nice. Michael #3: httpx-sse Consume Server-Sent Event (SSE) messages with HTTPX. SSE are super lightweight, server → client only subscriptions. Like websockets but less overhead (especially for iot and mobile devices) httpx-sse provides the connect_sse and aconnect_sse helpers for connecting to an SSE endpoint. The resulting EventSource object exposes the .iter_sse() and .aiter_sse() methods to iterate over the server-sent events.

Brian #1: A Steering Council notice about PEP 703 (Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython) Thomas Wouters Suggested by John Hagen “We intend to accept PEP 703, although we’re still working on the acceptance details.” Moving forward in 3 stages short-term, no-GIL experimental build in 3.13 or 3.14 mid-term, declare support for no-GIL version long-term, no-GIL becomes default and remove any vestiges of the GIL No commitment and timeframe is nebuous long-term means 5+ years Need community support “We want to be able to change our mind if it turns out, any time before we make no-GIL the default, that it’s just going to be too disruptive for too little gain.” Michael #2: Google's post-cookie world could turn into DRM for the internet A new authentication system could let websites block extensions or jailbroken devices. Google has been trying to implement plans to move beyond cookies for years without denying its partners the means to sell targeted ads. One recent proposal to guarantee user privacy and security could come at the cost of freedom of functionality. Comments are somewhat interesting. More info in a second article. Vivaldi has a response here. Brave won’t ship with it. Brian #3: How ruff changed my Python programming habits Matthias Kestenholz “…there’s always a trade off between development speed (waiting on git commit is very boring) and strictness. “ “ruff is so fast that enabling additional rules is practically free in terms of speed...” ruff has way more rules since last I checked. They are just mostly turned off by default. The article suggests a bunch to try turning on. See also ruff config settings turn on flake8-bugbear while leaving on defaults with select = ["E", "F", "B"] lots of rules to choose from ruff-pre-commit to run these with pre-commit Michael #4: pathlib api extended to use fsspec backends via Justin Flannery Expanding on the capabilities of fsspec, the same GitHub organization also supports another powerful library called universal_pathlib. universal_pathlib is a python library that aims to extend Python's built-in pathlib.Path api to use a variety of backend filesystems using fsspec. This seamless replacement allows developers to leverage the familiar and powerful pathlib API on any type of filesystem. upath.Path is a drop-in replacement for pathlib.Path and is an excellent addition to your toolkit.

The 2 ways Build one wheel instead of N sdists Run pytest in parallel tox builds source distributions, sdists, for each environment before running tests. that’s not really what we want, especially if we have a test matrix. It’d be better to build a wheel once, and use that for all the environments. Add this to your tox.ini and now we get one wheel build [testenv] package = wheel wheel_build_env = .pkg It will save time. And a lot if you have a lengthy build. Run pytest in parallel, instead of tox in parallel, with pytest -n auto Requires the pytest-xdist plugin. Can slow down tests if your tests are pretty fast anyway. If you’re using hypothesis, you probably want to try this. There are some gotchas and workarounds (like getting coverage to work) in the article. Michael #3: Awesome Pydantic A curated list of awesome things related to Pydantic! 🌪️ Notable items for me: ML: spaCy 🌟(26575) - spaCy is a free open-source library for Natural Language Processing in Python. It features NER, POS tagging, dependency parsing, word vectors and more. ray 🌟(26496) - Ray provides a simple, universal API for building distributed applications. jina 🌟(18734) - Jina is geared towards building search systems for any kind of data, including text, images, audio, video and many more. With the modular design & multi-layer abstraction, you can leverage the efficient patterns to build the system by parts, or chaining them into a Flow for an end-to-end experience. Data Beanie 🌟(1287) - Beanie - is an Asynchronous Python object-document mapper (ODM) for MongoDB, based on Motor and Pydantic. Utilities datamodel-code-generator 🌟(1694) - Pydantic model generator for easy conversion of JSON, OpenAPI, JSON Schema, and YAML data sources.

Plumbum is “ a small yet feature-rich library for shell script-like programs in Python. The motto of the library is “Never write shell scripts again”, and thus it attempts to mimic the shell syntax (shell combinators) where it makes sense, while keeping it all Pythonic and cross-platform.” Supports local commands piping redirection working directory changes in a with block. So cool. lots more fun features Michael #2: Our plan for Python 3.13 The big difference is that we have now finished the foundational work that we need: Low impact monitoring (PEP 669) is implemented. The bytecode compiler is a much better state. The interpreter generator is working. Experiments on the register machine are complete. We have a viable approach to create a low-overhead maintainable machine code generator, based on copy-and-patch. We plan three parallelizable pieces of work for 3.13: The tier 2 optimizer Enabling subinterpreters from Python code (PEP 554). Memory management Details on superblocks Brian #3: Some blogging myths Julia Evans <from Brian: I’m not sure if I’m including this to convince all of you to blog more, or to convince myself.

Michael #1: Pydantic roadmap via Mario Munoz Back in February [Samuel] [announced](https://pydantic.dev/announcement/) Pydantic Inc., but I didn't explain what services we were building. The problem is that even with Pydantic in your corner, working with data when it leaves Python often still sucks. We want to build a data platform to make working with data quick, easy, and enjoyable — where developer experience is our north star. There are five key components to the Pydantic Data Platform that we're thinking of building. Python Analytics/Observability — a logging and metrics platform with tight Python and Pydantic integration, designed to make the data flowing through your application more readily usable for both engineering and business analytics. More info... Data Gateway for object stores — Add validation, transformation and cataloguing in front of object stores like S3, with a schema defined in Pydantic models then validated by our Rust service.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) on Friday declassified(Opens in a new window) a report from January 2022 that outlines the US government’s approach to using Commercially Available Information (CAI), which can come from data brokers working in the internet ad and analytics industries.

Frank Wiles “The magic of pytest fixtures is how they are injected into your tests for you to use and their composability. When done well, writing tests is considerably easier and actually fun.” Setup code is often the biggest headache of test writing. pytest fixtures help solve the setup problem. Fixtures are used by just including them in a tests parameter list can build on top of each other can be used in any test in the project, if you put it in a central conftest.py can return all kinds of things: static data, instantiated objects, callables to make other things, Frank includes an interesting way to organize fixtures such that they are defined in local test directories but usable across a project, under “Organizing Your Fixtures”. Plugins with fixtures: A shoutout to pytest-django and a Revsys plugin called django-test-plus. Built-in fixtures. See also tmp_path. autouse One bit of incorrect info: autouse doesn’t work like that. The value of global_thing cannot be grabbed unless you list it in the parameter list. It will run before every function (since it’s scope=``"``function``" by default), but you gotta list it to get the value. To be fair, it’s really hard to come up with good autouse examples. Partly because there are so few good reasons to use autouse.

Michael #1: pystack PyStack is a tool that uses forbidden magic to let you inspect the stack frames of a running Python process or a Python core dump, helping you quickly and easily learn what it's doing. PyStack has the following amazing features: 💻 Works with both running processes and core dump files. 🧵 Shows if each thread currently holds the Python GIL, is waiting to acquire it, or is currently dropping it. 🗑️ Shows if a thread is running a garbage collection cycle. 🐍 Optionally shows native function calls, as well as Python ones. In this mode, PyStack prints the native stack trace (C/C++/Rust function calls), except that the calls to Python callables are replaced with frames showing the Python code being executed, instead of showing the internal C code the interpreter used to make the call. 🔍 Automatically demangles symbols shown in the native stack. 📈 Includes calls to inlined functions in the native stack whenever enough debug information is available. 🔍 Optionally shows the values of local variables and function arguments in Python stack frames. 🔒 Safe to use on running processes. PyStack does not modify any memory or execute any code in a process that is running. It simply attaches just long enough to read some of the process's memory. ⚡ Optionally, it can perform a Python stack analysis without pausing the process at all. This minimizes impact to the debugged process, at the cost of potentially failing due to data races. 🚀 Super fast! It can analyze core files 10x faster than general-purpose tools like GDB. 🎯 Even works with aggressively optimized Python interpreter binaries. 🔍 Even works with Python interpreters' binaries that do not have symbols or debug information (Python stack only). 💥 Tolerates memory corruption well. Even if the process crashed due to memory corruption, PyStack can usually reconstruct the stack. 💼 Self-contained: it does not depend on external tools or programs other than the Python interpreter used to run PyStack itself. Brian #2: Securing PyPI accounts via Two-Factor Authentication Donald Stufft “… every account that maintains any project or organization on PyPI will be required to enable 2FA on their account by the end of 2023.” “One of the key security promises that PyPI makes is that when you're downloading something, that only the people associated with that project are going to be able to upload, delete, or otherwise modify a project. That when you look at that project and see that it is owned by someone that you trust, that you can be assured that nobody else is making changes to that package on PyPI.” If you maintain a package on PyPI to a point where you are uploading to PyPI or plan to soon, enable 2FA on you account. May as well do it sooner than later. But officially, you have the rest of the year. This has already been a requirement for “critical projects” since last summer. (top 1% of downloads, about 3,500 projects.) See episode 293. Now it’s going to be for everyone. Michael #3: Propan - a declarative Python MQ framework Propan is a powerful and easy-to-use Python framework for building asynchronous web services that interact with any MQ Broker. It's following by fastapi, simplify Message Brokers around code writing and provides a helpful development toolkit, which existed only in HTTP-frameworks world until now. It is a modern, high-level framework on top of popular specific Python brokers libraries, based on pydantic and fastapi, pytest concepts. The key features are Simple: Designed to be easy to use and learn. Intuitive: Great editor support. Autocompletion everywhere. Dependencies management: Minimization of code duplication. Access to dependencies at any level of the call stack. Integrations: Propan is fully compatible with any HTTP framework you want MQ independent: Single interface to popular MQ: Redis (based on redis-py) RabbitMQ (based on aio-pika) Kafka (based on aiokafka) SQS (based on aiobotocore) Nats (based on nats-py) RPC: The framework supports RPC requests over MQ, which will allow performing long operations on remote services asynchronously. Great to develop: CLI tool provides great development experience: framework-independent way to manage the project environment application code hot reload robust application templates Testability: Propan allows you to test your app without external dependencies: you do not have to set up a Message Broker, you can use a virtual one! Brian #4: Makefile tricks for Python projects Ricardo Ander-Egg A pretty short basic starter template Makefile for Python projects with some cool snippets. Some default settings to have make behave sanely exit on error, warn about undefined variables, disable built-in rules set up working directory correctly if called from a different dir A $(py) definition that picks up the virtual environment if it’s there. Also $(pip) from the virtual env. Default goal and help message cool trick so that make with no arguments just prints the help And also picks up target comments as help text for the target. Neat.

This process involves Pip finding a set of packages that meet your requirements and whose requirements themselves don't conflict. Prior to Pip 20.3, the default process for Pip would allow conflicting requirements to install if they were transitive dependencies where the last one specified would be the one installed. Once the new resolver was turned on by default it immediately hit problems where backtracking would get stuck for a long time. Pip separates out the resolution logic into a library called resolvelib. It had been discovered that there was a logical error under certain circumstances, and also there was a known better backtracking technique it could employ called backjumping. Both of these were recently fixed and implemented in resolvelib, which were then vendored in to Pip 23.1.

Our term for using the OpenID Connect (OIDC) standard to exchange short-lived identity tokens between a trusted third-party service and PyPI. Instead, PyPI maintainers can configure PyPI to trust an identity provided by a given OpenID Connect Identity Provider (IdP). These API tokens never need to be stored or shared rotate automatically by expiring quickly provide a verifiable link between a published package and its source Additional security hardening is available Brian #2: Mojo : a new programming language for all AI developers.

Related: In a discussion at PyCon, someone asked me if Ruff was a replacement for Black. My answer, “not really, more of a flake8 replacement and a few other tools, but a partial overlap with Black. Real answer is at the FAQ Is Ruff compatible with Black? Yes. Ruff is compatible with Black out-of-the-box, as long as the line-length setting is consistent between the two.

Michael #1: Prefix-cache via Brendan Hannigan You can set an environment variable or use it as a command line argument and then instead of creating tons of __pycache__ folders to store your *.pyc files right next to the source code, it puts them in some specified folder. Introduced in python 3.8. Brian #2: NiceGUI Suggested by several listeners Browser based GUI “NiceGUI is an easy-to-use, Python-based UI framework, which shows up in your web browser. You can create buttons, dialogs, Markdown, 3D scenes, plots and much more. It is great for micro web apps, dashboards, robotics projects, smart home solutions and similar use cases. You can also use it in development, for example when tweaking/configuring a machine learning algorithm or tuning motor controllers.” - from the README Michael #3: flask-ngrok A simple way to demo Flask apps from your machine. Makes your Flask apps running on localhost available over the internet via ngrok. Great for testing API consumers too. app = Flask(__name__) run_with_ngrok(app) # Start ngrok when app is run # Endpoints ... if __name__ == '__main__': app.run() Brian #4: No-async async with Python Will McGugan Allowing async while not requiring async Await me (maybe) borrowed from Simon Willison’s The “await me maybe” pattern for Python asyncio Optionally awaitable Providing API methods that can be called by both async and non-async code. The called method really is async, but if a caller doesn’t want to know when the code is done, it can ignore the return value and not await.

One way to accomplish this is by using the Read Later feature in Apple News. But what if you want to access those articles outside the Apple News app, such as on a different device or with someone who doesn't use Apple News? Or what if you want to automatically post links to those articles on your blog? That's where the nerd powers come in.

Comes from Claudio Jolowicz's hypermodern python cookiecutter Covered this on Talk Python: talkpython.fm/episodes/show/362/hypermodern-python-projects This session performs the following steps: Build a wheel from the local package. Install the wheel as well as the pytest package. Invoke pytest to run the test suite against the installation. Consider what would happen in this session if we had imported @session from nox instead of nox_poetry: Package dependencies would only be constrained by the wheel metadata, not by the lock file. In other words, their versions would not be pinned. The pytest dependency would not be constrained at all. Poetry would be installed as a build backend every time.

How about some pydantic in the mix? pydantic-xml is a pydantic extension providing model fields xml binding and xml serialization / deserialization. It is closely integrated with pydantic which means it supports most of its features. Brian #2: How virtual environments work Brett Cannon This should be required reading for anyone learning Python. Maybe right after “Hello World” and right before “My first pytest test”, approximately. Some history of environments Back in the day, there was global and your directory. How environments work structure: bin, include, and lib pyvenv.cfg configuration file How Python uses virtual environments What activation does, and that it’s optional. Yes, activation is optional. A new project called microvenv that helps VS Code. Mostly to fix the “Debian doesn’t ship python3 with venv” problem. It doesn’t include script activation stuff It’s super small, less than 100 lines of code, in one file. Michael #3: DbDeclare Declarative layer for your database. https://raaidarshad.github.io/dbdeclare/guide/controller/#example Sent in by creator raaid DbDeclare is a Python package that helps you create and manage entities in your database cluster, like databases, roles, access control, and (eventually) more. It aims to fill the gap between SQLAlchemy (SQLA) and infrastructure as code (IaC). You can: Declare desired state in Python Avoid maintaining raw SQL Tightly integrate your databases, roles, access control, and more with your tables Migrations like alembic coming too. Brian #4: Testing multiple Python versions with nox and pyenv Seth Michael Larson This is a cool “what to do first” with nox. Specifically, how to use it to run pytest against your project on multiple versions of Python. Example noxfile.py is super small import nox @nox.session(python=["3.8", "3.9", "3.10", "3.11", "3.12", "pypy3"]) def test(session): session.install(".") session.install("-rdev-requirements.txt") session.run("pytest", "tests/") How to run everything, nox or nox -s test.

Glyph dataclasses have been in the the language since 3.7 That’s pretty much all modern Python, right? “…, is there any point to having non-@dataclass classes any more? Is there any remaining justification for writing them in new code?” Options: class just becomes a dataclass if you have typehinted members in it. data instead of class, to avoid decorators Michael #2: PyGWalker Turn your pandas dataframe into a Tableau-style User Interface for visual analysis.

Michael #1: Python Parquet and Arrow: Using PyArrow With Pandas Parquet is an efficient, compressed, column-oriented storage format for arrays and tables of data. Less wrangle-able than Pandas, but way faster and lower memory Questions answered Can we use Pandas DataFrames and Arrow tables together, and if so, how is this done? (It turns out the answer is yes, and it’s quite simple, as we’ll see). In what ways are Arrow tables “better” than Pandas DataFrames? In other words, for which tasks are Arrow tables better suited? Conversely, what tasks are possible or easy in Pandas that are difficult or impossible in Arrow? As an on-disk format, how does Parquet compare to popular alternatives such as feather, orc, CSV, etc.? Brian #2: FastAPI-Filter Arthur Rio Add query string filters to your api endpoints and show them in the swagger UI. The supported backends are SQLAlchemy and MongoEngine. FastAPI-Filter documentation The philosophy of fastapi_filter is to be very declarative. You define the fields you want to be able to filter on as well as the type of operator, then tie your filter to a specific model. default filters: neq, gt, gte, in, isnull, lt, lte, not/ne, not_in, nin, like/ilike The swagger support is actually quite cool.

PyHamcrest tutorial Having a tool that allows you to pick out precisely the aspect under test and describe the values it should have, to a controlled level of precision, helps greatly in writing tests that are “just right.” From Brian: I’ve been reluctant to try matcher style assertion helper libraries, as, with pytest, assert works just fine. However, I can see cases where PyHamcrest assertions could help test readability, and that’s always a win. Examples: equality: assert_that(theBiscuit, equal_to(myBiscuit)) exceptions: assert_that(calling(parse, bad_data), raises(ValueError)) async: assert_that(``**await** resolved(future), future_raising(ValueError)) boolean: assert_that(theBiscuit.isCooked()) There’s predefined matchers for objects, numbers, text, logical checks, dequences, dictionaries Extras Brian: pytest tips and tricks - recent post, and discussion on upcoming Talk Python episode sharing pytest fixtures - placeholder page where I’ll share slides and code after my talk.

Brett Cannon .env files are used to store default settings that can be overridden by environmental variables. Possibly brought on by twelve-factor app design. Supported by python-dotenv, which is also used by pydantic, pipenv, and others. One issue is that it’s not a defined standard. from python-dotenv docs “The format is not formally specified and still improves over time. That being said, .env files should mostly look like Bash files.” Adafruit decided that an upcoming CircuitPython will use TOML as the format for settings.toml files, which are to be used mostly how .env files are being used. Brett notices this may fix things for Python for VS Code, and other people as well. So… Is this a good idea? I think so. Michael #2: Pydantic gets serious funding via Mark Little (was on episode 285) Sequoia backs open source data-validation framework Pydantic to commercialize with cloud services. Pydantic Services Inc. emerges from stealth today with $4.7 million in seed funding. Pydantic’s new commercial entity will incorporate a swath of new tools and services that are both “powered-by and inspired-by the Pydantic library” Pydantic will start with an initial team of six, with the first three engineers based in Montana, Chicago and Berlin. “With $4.7 million in the bank, Colvin said that they’re continuing to rewrite parts of Pydantic in Rust, with a view toward making it more efficient via a ten-fold performance improvement.” Erin #3: JSON Fields for performance (Denormalization) David Stokes Using JSON fields when you design your databases is a good way to improve database query performance.

We recognize that the European Commission has framed an exception in recital 10 attempting to ensure these provisions do not accidentally impact Open Source software. However, drawing on more than two decades of experience, we at the Open Source Initiative can clearly see that the current text will cause extensive problems for Open Source software. Since the goal is to avoid harming Open Source software this goal should be stated at the start of the paragraph as the rationale, replacing the introductory wording about avoiding harm to "research and innovation" to avoid over-narrowing the exception. The reference to "non-commercial" as a qualifier should be substituted. The term “commercial” has always led to legal uncertainty for software and is a term which should not be applied in the context of open source OSI recommends further work on the Open Source exception to the requirements within the body of the Act to exclude all activities prior to commercial deployment of the software and to clearly ensure that responsibility for CE marks does not rest with any actor who is not a direct commercial beneficiary of deployment. Brian #5: So, Single (‘) or Double (“) Quotes in Python? Marcin Kozak PEP8 doesn’t recommend anything. REPL uses single quotes. >>> x = "one" >>> x 'one' Black sides with “double quotes”, due to the apostrophe in the string problem.

Brian’s note: in the meantime people are struggling to share Python code the “best practice” answer seems to shift regularly this might be healthy to arrive at better tooling in the long term, but in the short term, it’s hurting us. From the article: The Python packaging ecosystem unintentionally became the type of competitive space that it is today. The community needs to make an explicit decision if it should continue operating under the model that led to status quo. Pick from N different tools that do N different things is a good model. Pick from N ~equivalent choices is a really bad user experience. Picking a default doesn’t make other approaches illegal. Communication about the Python packaging ecosystem is fragmented, and we should improve that. Pradyun: “Many of the users who write Python code are not primarily full-time software engineers or “developers”.” from Thea: “The reason there are so many tools for managing Python dependencies is because Python is not a monoculture and different folks need different things.” opening up the build backend through pyproject.toml-based builds was good but the fracturing of multiple “workflow” tools seems bad. “I am certain that it is not possible to create a single “workflow” tool for Python software. What we have today, an ecosystem of tooling where each makes different design choices and technical trade-offs, is a part of why Python is as widespread as it is today. This flexibility and availability of choice is, however, both a blessing and a curse.” On building a default workflow tool around pip interesting idea There’s tension between “we need a default workflow tool” and “unix philosophy: many focused tools that can work together”.

Brian #2: Why I Like Nox Hynek Schlawack I like tox and have wanted to try nox but couldn’t think of good reasons for a switch. Hynek is a fan of both, so it’s nice to read his perspective. The article starts with comparing doing the same thing in both testing with Python 3.10 and 3.11 and adding the ability to pass in pytest arguments. even with this example, I do admit that the nox example is easier to read, but a bit more verbose. A second example of running a specific example combination of library and Python is quite a bit longer in nox, but there’s an interesting commentary: “… this is longer than the tox equivalent. But that’s because it’s more explicit and anyone with a passing understanding of Python can deduce what’s happening here – including myself, looking at it in a year. Explicit can be good, actually.” Other benefits: It’s a Python file with Python functions, you have the all of Python at your disposal when developing sessions to run. It’s not “ini format”. Complex ini files get out of hand quickly. nox has Python versions as fist class selectors. Final note: “Again, this article is not a call to abandon tox and move all your projects to Nox – I haven’t done that myself and I don’t plan to. But if my issues resonate with you, there’s an option!” Michael #3: I scanned every package on PyPi and found 57 live AWS keys Scanning every release published to PyPi found 57 valid access keys. Detecting AWS keys is actually fairly simple. A keypair consists of two components: the key ID and the key secret. The key ID can be detected with the regular expression ((?:ASIA|AKIA|AROA|AIDA)([A-Z0-7]{16})) The secret key can be detected with a much more general [a-zA-Z0-9+/]{40}. Static PyPI data: github.com/orf/pypi-data Brian #4: Getting Started With Property-Based Testing in Python With Hypothesis and pytest Rodrigo Girão Serrão Hypothesis and property based testing can be overwhelming at first. So focused intro posts are quite helpful. This post focuses on a couple of examples, gcd(), greatest common divisor, and my_sort(), a custom list sorter. Good discussion of how property based testing is different and how to do it successfully, especially the order of development: focus on developing properties of correct answers develop a test that checks those properties use hypothesis strategies to come up with input pick @examples if necessary narrow the range of input if necessary caveat: I would have preferred hypothesis.assume() to limiting input in the first example. assume(not (n == m == 0)) see https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/details.html#hypothesis.assume add more testing outside of hypothesis In my experience it’s often easier for me to develop code with non-hypothesis test cases, then follow up with hypothesis. But after works also. The mental gymnastics of thinking of properties for algorithmic code is worthwhile. Extras Michael: First stream from the sweet new mac mini.

This is common in many design patterns, including just normal callback functions. Normally not a problem with Python, due to duck typing. But with type hints, suddenly it seems like both modules need types from the other. So how do you have two modules use types from each other without a circular import. Hynek produces two options Abstract Data Types, aka Interfaces, using the abc module Requires a third interface class Structural subtyping with Protocol This is what I think I’ll use more often and I’m kinda in love with it now that I understand it. Still has a third type, but one of the modules doesn’t have to know about it. "Structural Subtyping : Structural subtyping is duck typing for types: if your class fulfills the constraints of a [Protocol](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Protocol), it’s automatically considered a subtype of it. Therefore, a class can implement many Protocols from all kinds of packages without knowing about them!” The Fixing Circular Imports in Python with Protocol article walks through one example of two classes talking with each other, typing, circular imports, and fixing them with Protocol Michael #4: unrepl via/by Ruud van der Ham We’ve seen the code samples: >>> board = [] >>> for i in range(3): ... row = ['_'] * 3 ... board.append(row) ... >>> board [['_', '_', '_'], ['_', '_', '_'], ['_', '_', '_']] >>> board\[2\][0] = 'X' >>> board [['_', '_', '_'], ['_', '_', '_'], ['X', '_', '_']] But you cannot really run this code. You can’t paste it into a REPL yourself nor can you put it into a .py file. So you unrepl it: Copying the above code to the clipboard and run unrepl. Paste the result and now you can. Unrepl can be used as a command line tool but also as a module. The REPL functionality of underscore (_) to get access to the last value is also supported.
