To be fair they "just" ported pyupgrade to Rust

@sethmlarson.dev and I went through months of intense, complex work to climb a steep and slippery learning curve, only to be stopped short at the very end by a hard ethical line we couldn't cross—it was gut-wrenching.

I'm proud of what we did and I'm proud of what we didn't do.

Winning a bet about “six”, the Python 2 compatibility shim Exactly five years ago today Andrey Petrov and I made a bet about whether “six”, the compatibility shim for Python 2 and 3 APIs, would still be in the top 20 daily downloads on PyPI. I said it woul...

This post was 5 years in the making, @shazow.net and I made a bet about whether "six", the Python 2/3 compatibility shim, would still be a popular package in 2025:

Fiscal projection: PSF will default by 2027 - 50% salary increases, salaries >170.000, multimillion pycon US losses, costly consultancy contracts Unofficial financial projections based on public documents (tax forms) etc. Thread dedicated purely to fact finding and making financial projections.

Wow, that sounds nice! I immediately thought about Bluey.

Since PyCon Africa is affected by the PSF Grants pause, I am hopeful that donation tickets can make a difference.

Great post! Python supports else in loops, but only if there was no break! It’s terribly confusing: docs.python.org/3/tutorial/c...

À La Réunion on l’appelle de plus en plus l’hexagone, et j’aime bien, c’est court, neutre et efficace.

This is a tragedy, but correlation is not causation. Kids roam less and less in the UK (say) despite pedestrian casualties being down.

Interesting, thanks! The exit code 120 comes from Python: bugs.python.org/msg284536

We care about deepening our understanding of the language, which makes the question and resulting answer indeed very interesting! Thank you

Ah, the joys of cross-border rail. Still, thank you for doing this.

When in the US I was localized in Hong Kong and now in Reunion Island I was localized in Japan for a few weeks. Got ads in Japanese and even YouTube blocked some videos. Super annoying.

Dec 4th, 2024: [EN] Does the Elasticsearch Python client work with free-threading Python? Cet article est disponible en français. In this post, we'll run some experiments to see if the Python Elasticsearch client is compatible with the new Python 3.13 free-threading builds, where the GIL ...

The Python Elasticsearch client works too. I tested it back in December: discuss.elastic.co/t/dec-4th-20...

Exciting! Free-Threading builds are here to stay. The adoption has been incredibly fast so far.

(urllib3 works with free-threading, but still need cryptography to add support before we can test it in CI.)

Bluey is thoughtful too!
