Let me post a *non*-subtoot for once... We made a thing! https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-810-explicit-lazy-imports/104131 #python #pep

Maybe I'm just terminally online, but citing Ruby's "Matz is nice and so we are nice" and saying "It appears to “just work” for them" -- not last month, not last week, but *today* -- is truly epic ignorance. Even an unwarranted and very weak carveout for DHH won't save that.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep. 1. Python and/or the Python Software Foundation 2. Stargate SG-1 3. The culture of the early to young internet (1990-2005), like the new social interactions made possible by bulletin boards and email and Usenet, creating new ways for […]

It's that time of year again, @ThePSF Board Elections! If you're a voting member, please take the time to read the nomination statements and vote. I sometimes endorse specific people, but I think this year, no. The Board can do with experience, or with new blood. Great candidates! Make your own […]

Well! I guess this year will be the first year I'll be actively recommending people *not* vote for one of the candidates for PSF Board! (I hadn't gotten around to reading all the nomination statements yet.) I guess we're finally getting more diverse candidates 😂

The Python Documentary was fun, nostalgic (painfully so for me; had to stop it twice) and pretty damned good... ... but the highlight for me is definitely two friends caught on camera gossiping about me (without explicitly naming me) 😂 😂 youtube.com/watch?v=GfH4QL4VqJ0 #python #cultrepo

Someone had a fun romp outside today (on a leash, don't worry) and really, really tired himself out. #savannahcat #catsofmastodon

Thinking about running for @ThePSF's board? Nominations close tomorrow, and if you're interested in helping figure out how #python's community is sustained over the coming years, this is a great opportunity. Do have a chat, if you need convincing!

Gotta say, I feel personally attacked by @lexfri 's lex.games By A Vowel today... It's as if the game is saying all those words somehow apply to me. Given that I solved it in a personal best means I can't really object either ;p #dailypuzzle #byavowel

In preparation for Python 3.14 and official free-threading / nogil support, I present argon2-cffi-bindings 25.1.0! It comes with 3.14t wheels (and new ARM64 wheels for Windows for good measure). Currently, this is mostly to unblock everyone who wants to test things since it depends on a beta […]

I need to "YES-and!" something @savannah, Python's next Release Manager, posted on bsky about chasing dreams, even if they're big and scary: https://bsky.app/profile/savannah.dev/post/3lv2l5nbp6s2m It's this: be the kind of person who helps other chase their dreams! Build the kind of community […]
