I share the feeling. Thanks!

Mind sharing the pattern for your state machine ? I’m used to subclassing an ABC for states and having it take the context as an attribute and I’m genuinely interested in your approach.

@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).

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.

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 :)

I have got one! What does ˋlist(three())` print?

def three()
x = (yield from one())
print(x)

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

You should include your tests in coverage

This seems to be a recurring debate: should you measure the coverage of your tests? In my opinion, definitely yes.

Do you know if a pylock parser is in the works? I’ve been searching on GitHub but I could not find one. I’m willing to contribute, if needed.

I discovered uv thanks to an article of yours and I am so grateful for it. It enabled proper dependency management for beginners and helped so much in learning about the Python packaging ecosystem.

How I am going about my days lately (cc @crmarsh.com)

A four-panel comic strip titled 'The Jenkins Comic.'

1. In the first panel, a character in a blue shirt introduces himself to another character in a yellow shirt, saying, 'Hi! My name is Jason.'
2. In the second panel, the character in the yellow shirt responds, 'Ah! Nice to meet you, Jason.'
3. In the third panel, the character in the yellow shirt is shown with a thought bubble. Inside the bubble, there are labels for 'Friends,' 'Family,' and 'Python Packaging,' with 'Python Packaging' highlighted prominently.
4. In the fourth panel, the character in the blue shirt asks the character in the yellow shirt, 'Say Jarvis, have you ever heard of uv?' The character in the yellow shirt looks puzzled.
