Pandas became go-to tool for data science. Over time, new libraries appeared, fixing its limitations. Now, pandas has come full circle with a new syntax inspired by those newer libraries. @marcogorelli.bsky.social covered it with example

Litestar is a Python web framework that’s built with async support and type hints in mind. @b-list.org shared some good reasons why this is worth exploring

If you’re writing test cases, I strongly suggest using pytest’s parametrize feature. It helps you save both time and code. In this article, @nedbat.com explained how to use it with a clear example

Pytest’s parametrize feature is powerful but it looks scary. I hope this step-by-step explanation helps people use it more.

Iterable and iterator are not the same, though they’re often confused. In this article, @nedbat.com explained the difference with a simple example & a great analogy: the pages of a book are an iterable; a bookmark is an iterator
