Thanks to @glyph 's initiative, I got the final push that I needed to set up a donation to PSF. I even made it an annual recurring thing and also signed up as a contributing member (which I believe I am).

Python has been instrumental in shaping my career, so I should have done this sooner.

I released new versions of my oldest and newest #Python projects:

#caeroc the compressible #aerodynamics calculator and

#pymech the toolkit for #Nek5000 and Simson

https://pypi.org/project/caeroc/0.0.3b0/

I am looking for a blog post titled something like "Poetry considered harmful". It was about how Poetry forces developers to bump up the minimum version of Python just to use the latest version of a developer tool, such as black.

Do you have the link to the blog post I am talking about?

Mypy 1.13 allows use of the orjson library for handling the cache instead of the stdlib json, for improved performance. You can ensure the presence of orjson using the faster-cache extra:

python3 -m pip install -U mypy[faster-cache]

Mypy may depend on orjson by default in the future.

In a quite unusal turn of events, I managed to release new versions for 4 different projects this fall.

#pymech #pelican #nox #pdm #python

#uv maybe fast but its dependency resolver is worse than #pip

Case in point: try in a fresh virtualenv

pip install sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme

and see what version you get for sphinx-rtd-theme. uv tries too hard to get to sphinx 8.x and as a result you get an ancient theme.

Just released nox-pdm v0.0.2 🎉

https://pypi.org/project/nox-pdm

- Fixes export of constraint files (https://codeberg.org/ashwinvis/nox-pdm/issues/1)

Using #VSCodium for extended period opened up my eyes on how "open-source" VSCode really is - not much actually. For #Python, it is the ms-python extension which make it usable and #Pylance does not work without weird hacks:.

Once could use Jedi instead of Pylance, but it does not offer fancy features like refactoring, adding imports. Open source LSP servers like #pylsp exist. Time for a hard U-turn to #Neovim?
