It's been a while, huh? The core․py podcast is back with an episode about reference counting! 🎙️ I know y'all are waiting for the GC episode but we need to eat the veggies first. We hope it's fun anyway. We bet it is! 🍀 #Python #Podcast #Betting #TotallyLegal creators.spotify.com/pod/show/cor...

I’ve seen minds.md/zakirullin/c... being passed around & generally very much agree with it. It’s essentially a verbose version of my own mantra: “Complexity is not about how many keys I have to press – it’s about how difficult it is to reason about the consequences of what I’m doing.” 🧵 1/11

We are very exited to share with you PEP 768 🐍, which proposes a safe external debugger interface to Python. We think this is a really exciting change that would allow debuggers and tools to safely attach to running Python processes without stopping or restarting them. 🔨🐛 peps.python.org/pep-0768/

To fulfill the expectations of all Python people who followed me, I'll start sharing some of the Python stuff I'm dealing with now. E.g. right now I'm working on adding asyncio call stack introspection support both from within the process and from outside of it. ✨ 🧵

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...

After a week of nightmares 😱 and long stares at the abyss that of gcc, llvm, libunwind, elfutils, several JITs and much more me and Brandt have a proposal to allow unwinders to work with CPython’s new JIT which will avoid breaking all the tools that rely on them ✨ github.com/python/cpyth...
