This is a well thought out trip through what is happening over that past year and a half. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvR...

I was inspired to write about it. There are some really cool but I think understated possibilities that the team built to support with the registry.

We started building this course before we knew about the documentary, so an odd little coincidence. Want to know the history of #Python and its people? Watch the doc. Want to learn about when which features got added? Watch this code conversation with @digiglean.bsky.social

On this week's episode, @digiglean.bsky.social and I talk about loads of releases, the dev survey, #Python classes, asyncio, the JIT, and more. With content from: @mathspp.com @pycharm.dev @mkennedy.codes @brianokken.bsky.social @sailor.li @savannah.dev and others not on the 🦋

> to date (despite many attempts) nobody has demonstrated a convincing and effective way of distinguishing between the two This nudged me to finally write a post I've been noodling for years on the intractability of the problem, based on lessons from my favorite book. matthodges.com/posts/2025-0...

It was great to talk with Travis Oliphant about his contributions and work in Python scientific computing. Just in time to go with the Python Documentary from @cultrepo.bsky.social ! Thanks for connecting us. realpython.com/podcasts/rpp...

Are you writing #Textual apps? Do you want the ability to make one of your widgets look like it is on fire? Well, do I have a very-alpha library for you. Textual Effects provides transition effects similar to those in some presentation software. Check it out. Bugs/PRs welcome.

Another two @realpython.com Intermediate Python Deep Dive cohort courses are over… …and the feedback started coming in. Here are some comments from participants: "The course structure and delivery were perfect. Learnt a lot to make me a better programmer." /1

Always fun to be on @talkpython.fm! Don't forget to check out the course: training.talkpython.fm/courses/pola...

I want to thank @mathspp.com for coming on the show this week! It was an interesting dive into teaching, the itertools modules, and comparing vocabulary to idioms in programming. realpython.com/podcasts/rpp...

On this week's episode, @digiglean.bsky.social and I talk about t-strings, the release of pip 25.1, synchronization primitives, and uv. With content from: @willmcgugan.bsky.social, @adamj.eu, @davepeck.org, @snarky.ca and others not on the 🦋

What an amazing interview with Zedd by Rick Beato. Listing production techniques, plug-ins, building arrangements, and so much more. Really amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM2z...

My US PyCon 2025 talk is now online. I talk about Python packages for OCR, speech recognition, and text-to-speech. But really it's about the politics of technology. I also have a 6 foot snake puppet. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHUv...

Just finished a new blog post! 🎉 👀 This goes into a deep dive into Python's two new type checkers, Pyrefly by Meta and ty by Astral (the team behind uv and ruff) Check it out here: blog.edward-li.com/tech/compari...

Wow, episode 250 already? This was a special recording session at DjangoCon EU where @digiglean.bsky.social and I recorded in front of a live audience. We discussed our favourite talks at the conference, answered audience questions and more. Enjoy it, it was fun to make!

Thanks @snarky.ca for coming on the show again to discuss PEP751, pylock.toml files, and moving beyond requirements.txt. Plus some updates on Python WASI! realpython.com/podcasts/rpp...

About to get on a plane to head into PyCon US. My talk is tomorrow: Make Python Talk, Make Python Listen where I cover speech recognition, text-to-speech, and... other stuff. I kind of went extra for this talk. I have a large puppet and specially made costume. I am not joking.

Every time I've run the @realpython.com Intermediate Deep Dive cohort course, the Day 14 session on `itertools` has been one of the favourite sessions for many of the cohort participants That was today, by the way…

Here's the full workshop handout plus annotated slides from "Building software on top of Large Language Models", a three hour tutorial I presented yesterday at PyCon US #PyConUS simonwillison.net/2025/May/15/...

There were layoffs at MS yesterday and 3 #Python core devs from the Faster CPython team were caught in them.

#Andor is my favorite TV show. It is infinitely rewatchable! Amazing writing, characters, design, concepts, visual effects, and all other production. Incredible. Oh and it is a #StarWars And if you watch the final making of, there is a jaw dropping realization about the series given by Tony Gilroy

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust. In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

I'm in it and I'm already worried about what I got factually wrong due to parent exhaustion. 😅

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

Thanks @raymondcamden.com for coming on the show! It was fun discussing all of your Python projects and experiments. realpython.com/podcasts/rpp...
