I've just finished uhi 1.0, following boost-histogram 1.6 and hist 2.9, with support for serializing histograms into JSON/ZIP/HDF5. There's also a new testing helper (libraries implementing UHI can get dozens of tests with a few lines), and much more! iscinumpy.dev/post/uhi-1-0/

cibuildwheel π is out! (3.1.4). A few nice things, like --clean-cache, Android fixes, and new versions of things like CPython 3.14rc2. Note for iOS on GHA/Azure, you need macOS-14, Microsoft broke macOS-15 images for iOS (WRT CPython's test runner, anyway) github.com/pypa/cibuild...

PSA: You can't use `pip install -U pip` to upgrade to pip 25.2 on Windows. You have to use `python -m pip install -U pip`. That's always been better, but now the entrypoint scripts were optimized to be faster (I've wanted this for years!), Windows doesn't PIP.EXE modify itself!

We just released cibuildwheel 3.1, which builds Python 3.14/3.14t wheels by default (with yesterday's RC 1)! Also we added Android support, Pyodide 0.28 (3.13), 32-bit modern manylinux, riscv64 defaults, and beautiful new summaries! github.com/pypa/cibuild...

pybind11 3.0 is out (in time for #scipy2025)! Support for Python 3.14, 3.14t, GraalPy, PyPy 3.11, and iOS have been added. smart-holder merged, native enums, multiphase init, subinterpreters (with per-interp GIL), better typing, C++23, and much more! See iscinumpy.dev/post/pybind1...

I've updated my Python 3.14 post with the new additions in 3.14.0b3: free-threading is no longer experimental, and concurrent.interpreters has been added! I've added a couple of examples: iscinumpy.dev/post/python-...

cibuildwheel 3.0 is out! New support for Python 3.14 (and 3.14t) betas, GraalPy, and iOS! New defaults, new config options, beautiful docs updates, and more! iscinumpy.dev/post/cibuild...

If you are updating for Python π (Python 3.14) and are using argparse, remember to conditionally add `color=True` and, if using choices or subcommands, `suggest_on_error=True`!

The beta is out, so it's time for What's new in Python π: iscinumpy.dev/post/python-... (also it's time to start adding it to CI and adding classifiers if it works!)

The Scientific-Python Development Guide has been updated with SPDX licenses (PEP 639) and dependency-groups (PEP 735)! There's more uv, too; the cookiecutter/copier template now sets up uv everywhere for ultra fast CI. New repo-review checks, too. learn.scientific-python.org/development/...

I've just released nox 2025.05.01 with support for uv 0.7+! Lots of other small fixes and polish. Sorry for the breakage, but uv broke accessing the version of uv without warning. And you need the version of uv to know which method to use to get the version. 🤣

I've just released the #Python wheels for today's release of #CMake 4.0! pypi.org/project/cmake/ Remember to set your CMake minimum version to at least 3.5 (3.15 or better preferred) and set a maximum version too (newer CMake follows the policies of the maximum version) #release

If you have an issue with a dependency breaking due to setuptools 78's setup.cfg change, and you use uv, it's just: [tool.uv] build-constraint-dependencies = ["setuptools<78"] to fix. Otherwise: echo "setuptools<78" > constraints.txt PIP_CONSTRAINT=constrants.txt pip ...

Scikit-build-core 0.11 is out, with PEP 639 support (license expressions and files), METADATA 2.2+ as the default (supporting faster SDist metadata access for tools like uv), and quite a few smaller additions and expanded configurability. github.com/scikit-build...

New release of CLI11 out, the most powerful C++ CLI parser! Version 2.5 has a new formatter following UNIX standards more closely (help2man support), non-standard "-flag" opt-in support, and fixes and polish. github.com/CLIUtils/CLI...

Just released repo-review 0.12, with support for adding skip reasons to configuration! Also has a new --extend-ignore CLI flag. WASM versions updated to show skip reasons: learn.scientific-python.org/development/...

I just completed all 25 days of Advent of Code 2024 (Rust again this year)! #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com

I've just released cibuildwheel 2.22, with [dependency-groups] (PEP 735) support, a new simpler enable option, experimental manylinux ARMv7l support, and lots of fixes and updates! This is the final release (other than patches) before cibuildwheel 3.0! github.com/pypa/cibuild... #python
