We have an opening for a principal software engineer on the Python tools team. If you're interested in debuggers, language server protocol, and AI then you might find the position interesting! jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/jo...

I posted about Toad, my agentic coding interface for the terminal. Going to make this a regular-ish thing until the app is solid enough to share. willmcgugan.github.io/toad-report-1/

The Python documentary premieres tomorrow @ 10:00 PT / 19:00 CET! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfH4...

Comments can be great, but try to avoid using them when a docstring, a better function name, a better variable name, or a new variable or function might be better. Read the full article: Avoid over-commenting in Python ▸ https://trey.io/nb3z3t #Python

The Python documentary by @cultrepo.bsky.social is going to be debuting live on YouTube on Thursday the 28th at 7pm CET/10am PT! www.youtube.com/@cultrepo I'll share a link the day before to the doc that will have a countdown to the debut. I'm planning to be in the live chat during the debut.

I get the "adults only section of the airplane" idea in theory, but in practice? Give me a dozen kids on their iPads any day over two strangers having the loudest, dumbest small talk you've ever heard in your life for 5 straight hours

The gleam-lang organisation now has a GitHub sponsors account! If you're already sponsoring lpil you don't need to switch-over, sponsorship to either goes directly to the Gleam project. github.com/sponsors/gle...

The 2025 State of Python survey is now out! This is the 8th annual collaboration between @python.org and @pycharm.dev on current trends in Python. @mkennedy.codes wrote up a great summary of the results and key trends. blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2025...

Hi Conda people! I am back with a specific question this time- how do you tell if a given Conda environment is prefixed or named? I can see it in `conda info --envs` but is there any way given a specific path to an executable to know which one it is without parsing that list?

PyPI now serves PEP 792 project statuses in its APIs. that means you can now programmatically check if a package is archived, quarantined, etc.! blog.pypi.org/posts/2025-0...

Python 3.14: We'll release rc2 early on Thursday, and add an rc3 on 2025-09-16. We fixed a bug that required the ".pyc magic number" to be increased. The ABI isn't changing, and wheels built for rc1 should still work. More: discuss.python.org/t/early-3-14... #Python #CPython #Python314 #release

If you have ideas for making utf8.xyx more usable, I'm open to hearing them!

zizmor v1.12.0 is released! this release comes with one new audit (unsound-condition), support for auto-fixing three more finding classes, plus much more in the way of general enhancements and bug fixes. full details here: docs.zizmor.sh/release-note...

Anyone a Conda wizard here and can share their secrets?? I have spent the better part of this week working on Conda activation for the Python Environments extension and some things still feel like magic 🔮 github.com/microsoft/vs...

I'm *so* excited to share that I am now officially a CPython Core Developer! 🥳 I wrote my first Python in 2012, and immediately fell in love with the language. I'm honored that I am a part of, and can give back to, such an amazing, welcoming community! discuss.python.org/t/vote-to-pr...

Feels very surreal but this is a general PSA that you should go and chase your dreams/aspirations. Even if they feel scary. Even if they feel too big. Do it, scared ✨

2025 SO Developer Survey results are out and... wow! Gleam is the second most desired language. It's the first time we appeared in the survey and it's an unexpected result! Being listed next to @rust-lang.org @elixirlang.bsky.social & @ziglang.bsky.social makes us proud! Thanks, everyone who voted!

Notebook users: what are your favourite and least favourite things about the execution paradigm of Notebooks? I’m interested in hearing about kernel mgmt, compute selection, venvs, etc

Here goes nothin'...I'm the Release Manager for Python 3.16 and 3.17, y'all! discuss.python.org/t/welcome-th...

Notice the subtle "made using AI" watermark on the right-hand side. This is why I no longer believe anything posted on social media that doesn't link back to the source and that source must be reliable. But guess who suffers first when you use AI as a search engine? Those reliable sources.

Actually spotted mine!

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

🚀 What happens when you port the TypeScript compiler—150K+ lines of code & 90K+ tests—to Go? You get a 10x performance boost! 💥 Join @jakebailey.dev as he dives into why Go was the perfect fit, how they tackled the port, and what was learned along the way. 🎟️ available at www.gophercon.com 😎

I gave a talk at @europython.eu about “Exploring the CPython JIT” where I go to a journey in the execution pipeline, from the Python source code to native machine code. Feel free to reach me out if you have any question.

I got 21/26 on @mitsuhiko.at's fstrings.wtf quiz. I spent a lot of time creating a cheat sheet and article on f-strings, so I was kicking myself after a few of them that I should have known. There were definitely a couple surprise Python features for me though! fstrings.wtf

It is time for us to invite vibe-coders into our programming communities. lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/7/20/th...

One of the funnest recent episodes is now out with @snarky.ca‬, @willingc.bsky.social, ‪‪@pauleveritt.org‬, @pumpichank.bsky.social, and @mkennedy.codes #python #513: Stories from Python History talkpython.fm/episodes/sho...

This is my favorite BiteCode podcast episode so far. It's deeply human, touching, taking us from a floppy in Amsterdam to the entire internet, and even Mars. It's a pleasure to share our chat with Brett Cannon, Python core dev and self-proclaimed snarky Canadian: www.bitecode.dev/p/brett-cann...

“I just started writing Python & hoped it wouldn’t blow up.” In 2006, frustrated after forgetting his thumb drive (again), Drew Houston opened his laptop on a bus ride and began coding the first lines of what would become Dropbox. Hear the story 👀👇 youtu.be/69HHFdoz34M?...

It's going to be in the UK.

Hey, did you know you can easily test Python 3.14 with the JIT enabled in official macOS and Windows binaries by setting PYTHON_JIT=1 as an env var? If you're not running in production, it might be fun to test it out? Would love to hear about your experience! docs.python.org/3.14/whatsne...

pyref.dev now supports NumPy! - pyref.dev/numpy - pyref.dev/numpy.array - pyref.dev/numpy.random... What is pyref.dev you ask? It provides shortcuts to official Python API reference docs. #Python

we've already sold 1000 copies of The Secret Rules of the Terminal since it came out on Tuesday!! so to celebrate I'm giving away 1000 copies to anyone who can't afford to buy one. You can use code BUYONEGIVEONE to get a free PDF copy if $12 USD is a lot for you. wizardzines.com/zines/terminal
