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). If you wouldn't mind, please fill out this form, and boost for reach: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I'll be signing books at the JetBrains booth at 10:05, right after Lynn's keynote. Bring your own copy if you have it, or come by to say hi! Grab some stickers too! (Limited copies available at the booth as well.) #PyConUS

I’m really looking forward to this! I love panels because you get multiple perspectives in one session.

If you're at #PyConUS and you like birds, there's a lot to (try to) see at Point State Park. It's about a ten minute walk from the convention center.

I'm heading to #PyConUS! I'm excited to present a talk on best practices for moving from Jupyter notebooks to Python scripts that scale. And thanks to the awesome folks at @oreilly.bsky.social I have 10 copies of "Software Engineering for Data Scientists" to give out. I'll share details at my talk.

Have you ever wished the browser would look at a background color and pick black or white for the text — whichever one provides more contrast? Now, the `constrast-color()` function in CSS does just that. webkit.org/blog/16929/c...

py-bugger has a simple logo for now. :) I have an idea for a logo for django-simple-deploy, but that will take a bit longer to do well. github.com/ehmatthes/py... #Python

I'm going to focus my #PyconUS sprint time on django-simple-deploy, but I'm also happy to spend time on py-bugger as well. It's been a really fun project to work on! If you're at PyCon and want to contribute or just talk about py-bugger, please come find me! us.pycon.org/2025/events/...

I'll be at #PyConUS later this month, and I'll be sprinting on django-simple-deploy. I'm planning to focus on refining existing plugins, especially dsd-vps which deploys to any VPS provider. us.pycon.org/2025/events/... #Django

I hinted at this during my DjangoChat episode but we're going to try to start covering various third party Django models a little bit on the REVSYS blog. Kojo is kicking things off with Episode 0: What IS a Django App? www.revsys.com/tidbits/wha...

dsd-flyio 1.1.0 is out. It's a minor update, specifying Python 3.12 instead of 3.10 in the Dockerfile. This was the whole point of building a plugin system for django-simple-deploy. This only affects Fly.io deployments, and it's just a small change in the plugin. #Django pypi.org/project/dsd-...

py-bugger 0.3.3 includes a --verbose (-v) flag. This means users don't see which file was modified unless they specifically request that information. The goal is to replicate realistic bugs, and when new bugs appear we don't usually know which file is the problem. #Python #Debugging

When building config objects, I've gone back and forth between a simple dataclass with an external validate() function, and a regular class with a validate() method. Do you have a strong preference for one of these approaches? What's the reasoning? #Python

"I encourage maintainers to reject user feedback that is much more properly directed to some commercial software vendor who has not implemented the specification correctly" 💯 This is the way. Don't bend to deviations from specs, even if it means a user is unhappy. alexgaynor.net/2025/mar/25/...

`py-bugger` is steadily improving. You can install it from PyPI, as `python-bugger`. The command is still `py-bugger`. You can run it against a large, established project like Pillow: #Python
