Why Python 2? I’ve written multiple times about Python 2 and how I still use it for work and personal projects both locally and on my CI/CD pipelines on GitHub and Azure DevOps. I am well aware Python 2 reached...

Coming from macOS into Ubuntu required some “getting used to things”. Like using apt (and nala), but still I installed Homebrew for Linux, as most of the utilities are not up to date, and being more used to Homebrew it only made sense to me. So,...

And as it was time to upgrade, I went for the MacBook Air (M1, 2020). And as I was getting myself ready to start blogging again, and testing my blog locally, I ran into...

The return of setup.py In that last post I briefly mentioned that I was moving away from setup.py onto setup.cfg and pyproject.toml, but when I wanted to install ignition-api...

As I have mentioned before, I am using pyenv to manage multiple Python installations, but since I installed some Hombrew formulae that depend on python@3.9 I decided to uninstall Python 3 installed via pyenv and use the one from Homebrew. So here I will share a quick guide...

And while the last three articles have revolved around Python, this article is meant to be a bit broader. So,...

This time we will discuss pre-commit.ci and pydocstyle, the latest additions to my toolbox. First, pre-commit.ci. pre-commit.ci is “a continuous integration service for the pre-commit framework” created by Anthony Sottile (GitHub, Twitter), which...
