Brian #1: <a href="https://labs.quansight.org/blog/pandas_expressions?featured_on=pythonbytes">pandas is getting pd.col expressions</a> <ul> <li>Marco Gorelli</li> <li>Next release of Pandas will have <code>pd.col()</code>, inspired by some of the other frameworks <ul> <li>I’m guessing Pandas 2.3.3? or 2.4.0? or 3.0.0? (depending on which version they bump?)</li> </ul></li> <li>“The output of <code>pd.col</code> is called an expression. You can think of it as a delayed column - it only produces a result once it's evaluated inside a dataframe context.”</li> <li>It replaces many contexts where lambda expressions were used</li> </ul> Michael #2: <a href="https://cline.bot?featured_on=pythonbytes">Cline, At-Cost Agentic IDE Tooling</a> <ul> <li>Free and <a href="https://github.com/cline/cline?featured_on=pythonbytes">open-source</a></li> <li>Probably supports your IDE (if your IDE isn’t a terminal) <ul> <li>VS Code</li> <li>VS Code Insiders</li> <li>Cursor</li> <li>Windsurf</li> <li>JetBrains IDEs (including PyCharm)</li> </ul></li> <li>You pick plan or act (very important)</li> <li>It shows you the price as the AI works, per request, right in the UI</li> </ul> Brian #3: <a href="https://mathspp.com/blog/uv-cheatsheet?featured_on=pythonbytes">uv cheatsheet</a> <ul> <li>Rodgrigo at <a href="http://mathspp.com?featured_on=pythonbytes">mathspp.com</a></li> <li>Nice compact cheat sheet of commands for <ul> <li>Creating projects</li> <li>Managing dependencies</li> <li>Lifecycle stuff like build, publish, bumping version</li> <li>uv tool (uvx) commands</li> <li>working with scripts</li> <li>Installing and updating Python versions</li> <li>plus venv, pip, format, help and update</li> </ul></li> </ul> Michael #4: <a href="https://github.com/thecmdguy/Ducky?featured_on=pythonbytes">Ducky Network UI</a> <ul> <li>Ducky is a powerful, open-source, all-in-one desktop application built with Python and PySide6.</li> <li>It is designed to be the perfect companion for network engineers, students, and tech enthusiasts, combining several essential utilities into a single, intuitive graphical interface.</li> <li>Features <ul> <li>Multi-Protocol Terminal: Connect via SSH, Telnet, and Serial (COM) in a modern, tabbed interface.</li> <li>SNMP Topology Mapper: Automatically discover your network with a ping and SNMP sweep.
