Hey, Python folks! Got something to say about Python in 2024 and beyond? [@t_redactyl](https://fosstodon.org/@t_redactyl ) and I are hosting [@trallard](https://chaos.social/@trallard ) and [@ambv](https://mastodon.social/@ambv ) … bring us your thoughts on 3.13 and more.

PyCharm (and JetBrains IDEs) have this innovative idea called "endpoints" to speed up your DX for web API dev. I did a video on it, then today a blog post runthrough:

Glorious.

My colleague and buddy @npub1e75…8zgm is smarter than me, more creative than me, and is right 99.9% of the time.
He's also funny af. Every time, he finds the one thing, and lands it.

Doing APIs in PyCharm can have a lot of moving parts. I did a video showing the @pycharm endpoints tool. It's something really innovative by the team. Eager to see how this grows over the years.

#DjangoconUS anybody know how to sign up for lightning talks?

I look forward to seeing you Saturday at @npub1qxf…3u0l … pretty excited for Saturday afternoon's talks.

I listened to the @npub1l0v…qv0e with [@charliermarsh](https://hachyderm.io/@charliermarsh ) about uv (but about Ruff.) I enjoyed hearing Charlie talk about the "why" on a bunch of decisions.

Hey Python typing folks. Let's say I have a dataclass with a field called target. The value is a typing.Protocol…not an object that matches the Protocol, but the protocol itself.
What's the type hint? (If you say typing._ProtocolMeta then you have some ‘splaining to do.)

Ahh, that's super cool, thanks @npub1nmm…0f6a I'll park a package name of Emojiscript. Or would you prefer Triplettscript?
I'm hoping by DjangoCon I have something cute I could do as a lightning talk.

Yep.

I've never been a part of a PEP. It's up now and getting some good commentary. But also, some things in the ballpark of some f-string gloom-and-doom.

2024-08-11 18:08:24

I just did a little travel back to Python circa 2016-ish. Turns out f-strings were somewhat controversial. Even the name required an edict.

When the media questioned the a16z myth, a16z tried to launch its own media empire (propaganda outlet.) Now stuck wooing the Saudis. https://www.theverge.com/23697708/andreessen-horowitz-a16z-investing-tech

Got a few minutes to give feedback on Python typing? The typing folks have a survey. I just took it: easy, fun, and helpful. https://discuss.python.org/t/typed-python-developer-survey/58398

There's a good chance we're all talking about something similar, but pretty different. 😉
Would love to have you and your skills involved in whatever happens.

Ha! I knew you would say that. I was also thinking that on the treadmill this morning. In the very early days, Python had a community-hosting site called Starship. Free space for the good folks.
Count me in.
I think we need humans as much as software, so I'm still interested in curation and storytellers.

Planet Python is an example starting point. Needs people. Might need a bigger vision.

I also wonder what *we* can do -- primarily, unified storytelling.
I've been thinking about the enshitification of the web: Google search results, AI stealing content, Twitter collapse. Python has a vibrant slice of the web and there's now a back-to-web movement. How can we help Python and help the web?
Lots of folks (like you) doing storytelling. Could we stitch it all together? Amplify the deserving? Raise technical standards (robots.txt against crawlers)? Spread the joy?

2024-05-23 11:55:54

Nostalgia makes us valorize the past. And yes, Pythonland was joyful and fulfilling in "the old days."
But after #pyconus last week, I'm convinced…it's even better now.
