Because prettier is a bit heavy weight for formatting XML/XSDs and there's no better alternative for a pre-commit hook that handles XML created xml-fmt pypi.org/project/xml-... (uses under the hood CPython stdlib XML formatter docs.python.org/3/library/xm...) - 3.9+.

Surprised me a bit that pre-commit-uv got 3 million downloads per month after just one of being released. 😱 Way more popular than expected 🤔 cc @crmarsh.com

Textual 1.0 has been released. 🥳 Three years in the making. A TUI framework that is bigger than the terminal. To celebrate, I want to give away some trade secrets. Because I am appalling at keeping secrets. Tell me what you think of the diagrams... textual.textualize.io/blog/2024/12...

Today is my first day at Astral! Very excited to work with @crmarsh.com and the gang on Python tooling. It'll be fun (and strange) to focus on only one language for a bit!

@crmarsh.com seen UV@Jane street, you said with rust you have a high confidence that you will be able to run it. I don't share that opinion as I run into in the past cases where some dependency crate failed to compile, especially if you're using more novel platforms like ARM on Windows and MacOS 😅

I conducted an analysis of return-in-finally in real world Python code. Just don't do it. TL;DR: - it is not used often - when it is used, it's usually used incorrectly - code authors find it easy to fix Draft PEP: peps.python.org/pep-0765/ Full report: github.com/iritkatriel/...

I just released Ruff 0.8! Lots of exciting features in this release, but there are also a few breaking changes, so I'd encourage users to check out the blog post. The biggest change is that the target-version setting now defaults to Python 3.9 (but this is configurable!) astral.sh/blog/ruff-v0...

It's me!! I had a chance to catch up with my pals @pablogsal.com and @lukasz.langa.pl on their awesome podcast last week, coincidentally right after my core dev promotion went through. If you like Python, open source, and balloons (!!!), this is the episode for you.

Meet our newest member of the core developer team, @savannah.dev! Currently at Snowflake, she worked with dev tools at Docker and Microsoft, but also flew drones over forests. In terms of CPython, Savannah works on argparse and the JIT, but that's not her last word. open.spotify.com/show/1PGRfdr...

tox+uv is turning out to be a great pair of tools for quickly addressing maintenance debt. It's trivial to build a test environment that actually tests against your claimed minimum versions, and it builds fast. uv_resolution = min: lowest-direct github.com/tox-dev/tox-uv #python
