@nedbat.com The latest release of Coverage feels like a Christmas present! The native support for Python subprocesses is so good! Thank you for all of it 🙏🏻

The uv build backend is now stable, and considered ready for production use. An alternative to setuptools, hatchling, etc. for pure Python projects, with a focus on good defaults, user-friendly error messages, and performance. When used with uv, it's 10-35x faster.

Use #Python at all? I would like to do a silly thing, which I hope will bring amusement to others as well as me (if it works out). If you wouldn't mind, please fill out this form, and boost for reach: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor. We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together. aka.ms/open-source-...

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.)

Little Python quiz. What does list(f()) return for these: def one(): return [1] yield def two(): return (yield 1) And why :)

Sad to see an AI suggest these entries for a [tool.coverage.run] section: omit = tests/*, */__init__.py, */__main__.py, */cli.py, */setup.py, */__pycache__/*, */test_*.py nedbatchelder.com/blog/202008/...

The latest @talkpython.fm is out with @akshaykagrawal.bsky.social and @mkennedy.codes . We're diving into reactive data science notebooks with Marimo. #python talkpython.fm/episodes/sho...
