Brian #1: Deprecations via warnings Deprecations via warnings don’t work for Python libraries Seth LarsonHow to encourage developers to fix Python warnings for deprecated features Ines Panker Michael #2: docs A collaborative note taking, wiki and documentation platform that scales. Built with Django and React.Made for self hostingDocs is the result of a joint effort led by the French 🇫🇷🥖 (DINUM) and German 🇩🇪🥨 governments (ZenDiS) Brian #3: PyAtlas: interactive map of the top 10,000 Python packages on PyPI. Florian MaasSource: https://github.com/fpgmaas/pyatlasPlaying with it I discovered a couple cool pytest plugins pytest-deepassert - Enhanced pytest assertions with detailed diffs powered by DeepDiff cool readable diffs of deep data structurespytest-plus - some extended pytest functionality I like the “Avoiding duplicate test function names” and “Avoiding problematic test identifiers” features Michael #4: Buckaroo The data table UI for Notebooks.Quickly explore dataframes, scroll through dataframes, search, sort, view summary stats and histograms. Works with Pandas, Polars, Jupyter, Marimo, VSCode Notebooks Extras Brian: It’s possible I might be in a “give dangerous tools to possibly irresponsible people” mood.Thanos - A Python CLI tool that randomly eliminates half of the files in a directory with a snap.PromptVer - a new versioning scheme designed for the age of large language models.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: PEP 798: Unpacking in Comprehensions After careful deliberation, the Python Steering Council is pleased to accept PEP 798 – Unpacking in Comprehensions.Examples [*it for it in its] # list with the concatenation of iterables in 'its' {*it for it in its} # set with the union of iterables in 'its' {**d for d in dicts} # dict with the combination of dicts in 'dicts' (*it for it in its) # generator of the concatenation of iterables in 'its' Also: The Steering Council is happy to unanimously accept “PEP 810, Explicit lazy imports” Brian #2: Pandas 3.0.0rc0 Pandas 3.0.0 will be released soon, and we’re on Release candidate 0Here’s What’s new in Pands 3.0.0 Dedicated string data type by default Inferred by default for string data (instead of object dtype)The str dtype can only hold strings (or missing values), in contrast to object dtype. (setitem with non string fails)The missing value sentinel is always NaN (np.nan) and follows the same missing value semantics as the other default dtypes.Copy-on-Write The result of any indexing operation (subsetting a DataFrame or Series in any way, i.e. including accessing a DataFrame column as a Series) or any method returning a new DataFrame or Series, always behaves as if it were a copy in terms of user API.As a consequence, if you want to modify an object (DataFrame or Series), the only way to do this is to directly modify that object itself.pd.col syntax can now be used in DataFrame.assign() and DataFrame.loc() You can now do this: df.assign(c = pd.col('a') + pd.col('b'))New Deprecation PolicyPlus more - Michael #3: typos You’ve heard about codespell … what about typos?VSCode extension and OpenVSX extension.From Sky Kasko: Like codespell, typos checks for known misspellings instead of only allowing words from a dictionary. But typos has some extra features I really appreciate, like finding spelling mistakes inside snake_case or camelCase words. For example, if you have the line: *connecton_string = "sqlite:///my.db"* codespell won't find the misspelling, but typos will. It gave me the output: *error: `connecton` should be `connection`, `connector` ╭▸ ./main.py:1:1 │1 │ connecton_string = "sqlite:///my.db" ╰╴━━━━━━━━━* But the main advantage for me is that typos has an LSP that supports editor integrations like a VS Code extension. As far as I can tell, codespell doesn't support editor integration. (Note that the popular Code Spell Checker VS Code extension is an unrelated project that uses a traditional dictionary approach.) For more on the differences between codespell and typos, here's a comparison table I found in the typos repo: https://github.com/crate-ci/typos/blob/master/docs/comparison.md By the way, though it's not mentioned in the installation instructions, typos is published on PyPI and can be installed with uv tool install typos, for example. That said, I don't bother installing it, I just use the VS Code extension and run it as a pre-commit hook. (By the way, I'm using prek instead of pre-commit now; thanks for the tip on episode #448!) It looks like typos also publishes a GitHub action, though I haven't used it. Brian #4: A couple testing topics slowlify suggested by Brian SkinnSimulate slow, overloaded, or resource-constrained machines to reproduce CI failures and hunt flaky tests.Requires Linux with cgroups v2Why your mock breaks later Ned BadthelderNed’s taught us before to “Mock where the object is used, not where it’s defined.”To be more explicit, but probably more confusing to mock-newbies, “don’t mock things that get imported, mock the object in the file it got imported to.” See? That’s probably worse. Anyway, read Ned’s post.If my project myproduct has user.py that uses the system builtin open() and we want to patch it: DONT DO THIS: @patch("builtins.open") This patches open() for the whole systemDO THIS: @patch("myproduct.user.open") This patches open() for just the user.py file, which is what we wantApparently this issue is common and is mucking up using coverage.py Extras Brian: The Rise and Rise of FastAPI - mini documentary“Building on Lean” chapter of LeanTDD is out The next ...

Brian #1: Advent of Code starts today A few changes, like 12 days this year, which honestly, I’m grateful for.See also: elf: Advent of Code CLI helper for Python Michael #2: Django 6 is coming Expected December 2025Django 6.0 supports Python 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14Built-in support for the Content Security Policy (CSP) standard is now available, making it easier to protect web applications against content injection attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS).The Django Template Language now supports template partials, making it easier to encapsulate and reuse small named fragments within a template file.Django now includes a built-in Tasks framework for running code outside the HTTP request–response cycle. This enables offloading work, such as sending emails or processing data, to background workers.Email handling in Django now uses Python’s modern email API, introduced in Python 3.6. This API, centered around the email.message.EmailMessage class Brian #3: Advanced, Overlooked Python Typing get_args, TypeGuard, TypeIs, and more goodies Michael #4: codespell Learned from this PR for the Talk Python book.Fix common misspellings in text files.It's designed primarily for checking misspelled words in source code (backslash escapes are skipped), but it can be used with other files as well.It does not check for word membership in a complete dictionary, but instead looks for a set of common misspellings. Therefore it should catch errors like "adn", but it will not catch "adnasdfasdf".It shouldn't generate false-positives when you use a niche term it doesn't know about. Extras Brian: Is mkdocs maintained?Hatch 1.16 Michael: Follow up on tach from Gerben Dekker: tach has been unmaintained for a bit but is not anymore. It was the main product from Gauge which is a Y combinator startup that pivoted to something unrelated and abandoned tach. However, https://github.com/DetachHead forked it but now got access to the main repo and has committed to maintaining it.ruff analyze graph is fully independent of tach - we actually started to look into alternatives for tach when it became unmaintained and then found ruff analyze graph.For our use case, with just a bit of manipulation on top of ruff analyze graph we replaced our use of deptry (which was slower - and I try to be careful depending on one-man projects).A Review of Michael Kennedy’s book, “Talk Python in Production” - Thanks Doug Joke: NoaaS
