I like maintaining things: the Elasticsearch Python clients by day, urllib3 and trustme by night. I write about #Python, HTTP, async/await, open source and performance! he/him

It's here! The 2024 annual report for #urllib3, a relatively quiet year that included work on HTTP/2 and Web Assembly (WASM). $3,300 worth of bounty issues exist today! quentin.pradet.me/blog/urllib3...

#Git mini tip: Use '-' to refer to the previously checked-out branch with 'git switch' and 'git checkout'. It’s great for returning to a feature branch after pulling the main or toggling back and forth to compare.

Tidelift, @microsoft.com, LaunchDarkly, @sentry.io, @sourcegraph.com, Canva, and @codecov.bsky.social all supported urllib3 in 2024. Thank you!

10 years ago, as part of my PhD, I launched a small PHP 5 application online. It's still up! Now using PHP 8. I intend to keep it online for a few more decades. Cool URIs don't change. Part of the trick is @alwaysdata.bsky.social, my hosting provider, which handles database and system upgrades.

📦 urllib3 2.3.0 is now available! It supports the WebAssembly JSPI API (enabling experimental Node.js support) and adds `HTTPResponse.shutdown()` (thanks to LaunchDarkly for sponsoring this feature). github.com/urllib3/urll... Note that we're still raising funds for full HTTP/2 support!

@gergely.pragmaticengineer.com has this impressive page listing early trends he identified: blog.pragmaticengineer.com/early-trends/. Here's one more: GenAI tools are heavily subsidized (newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/ide-that-s...), so we'll see more expensive subscriptions like ChatGPT Pro.

What this also means is that urllib3 works great with free-threaded Python! 🎉 I am sure it will expose some subtle concurrency bugs that exist already. But before we can have CI, we need cryptography wheels as we use it to generate test certificates.

Trying #Python 3.13 free-threading builds with uv is as easy as specifying `--python 3.13t`. If you don't have such an interpreter available, uv will download a standalone build for you! The full list of options to install 3.13t builds is here: py-free-threading.github.io/installing_c...
