RT by @backblaze: 10x Python I/O speed with one line change? It's possible, and we tested it. Check out the results of our experiments testing different #Python versions with the @backblaze CLI. #pythonprogramming #Pythonistas #pyconus2023 #pyconUS #nogil

I spent only few hours at PyCon DE 2023 this evening but enough to meet old and new Pythonista friends 🐍

Chatting to people in the main conference area is something worth the effort to be here. 🫂

Hi Pythonistas, we’re very sorry to say this and it’s with heavy hearts: the pythonist.as Mastodon server will be closing down from the middle of March (on or after the 17th).

It’s been a fun project but sadly isn’t economically viable for us right now, nor have we been able to give it the time and attention it deserves.

If you’re on pythonist.as please migrate to another server by the 17th and keep the #Python love 🐍❤️

Hey all #pythonistas out there, what would you say is the feature brough to #Python that has changed the quality of your code over the years?

To me that would be context managers and the with statement. I think that feature alone has turned Python into something more polished and ready for larger applications.

I actually didn't recall it has been introduced in 2.5. So long ago.

Hey #Pythonistas Are you looking to boost your Python skills and take your projects to the next level? Here are some rarely used but powerful Python features that can help you do just that:

yield from: This statement is like a secret weapon for iterating over large datasets. It lets you break up your work into manageable chunks and process them one at a time, saving you time and resources.

async and await: These keywords are like a turbo charger for your Python code. They let you run multiple tasks concurrently, which means you can get more done in less time.

Enum: This class is like a toolkit for organizing your data. It lets you define named constants that are easy to read and understand, making it easier to work with complex datasets.

typing: This module is like a personal assistant for your code. It helps you catch mistakes and improve readability by annotating your variables and function arguments with their expected types.

functools.lru_cache: This decorator is like a memory bank for your Python code. It remembers the results of your computations and retrieves them when you need them, saving you time and resources.

So don't be afraid to try out these rarely used but powerful Python features. They can take your projects to new heights and help you get more done in less time. Happy #coding #python #programming #engineering #learning #learn

First day back at Uni from Semester Break, and it could be that I've been listening and talking to people for eight hours straight and my migraine brain is not adjusting to this change.
But our Software professor introduced us to Python today, yay...then said get ready for Java tomorrow, waouw!
Context switching like this is not something I enjoy, I never feel like I'm building up long lasting knowledge really.

I'm learning #clojure though I mostly work in #python. Today I wrote this for a python function returning a tuple of 3 ints (converted from str):

`return tuple(map(int, (a, b, c)))`

when previously, I probably would have done

`return int(a), int(b), int(c)` or
`return tuple(int(x) for x in (a, b, c))`

I'm curious which more experienced #pythonistas prefer? Is #clojure rubbing off on my #python?

#lisp #functionalprogramming

I've become a member of @ThePSF to support the #Python software and community as they have supported my career. For as long as I am able, I will chip in because without Python, I would not have the career I have today.

Thank you so much, PSF and fellow #Pythonistas!

I've just arrived at the Ubuntu Summit 2022 in Prague 🇨🇿
I've already met other #Pythonistas and I think there are a lot of us here 🐍
See you in the afternoon to take a picture all together after the closing session 📸

@mitsuhiko welcome also to you. More and more #Pythonistas and #Rustaceans here. 🐍🦀👍
