László's bottom line: Adopt `cibuildwheel`.
Did you know that you can just tag your wheel manylinux without actually making it manylinux compliant?
@gpshead I guess not by that metric 😅
"All of these examples are actual wheels on PyPI; in order to protect the innocent, I've removed the names."
Wow, numpy's wheel contains 964 files.
Also apparently they ship their tests in their wheels (boooo).
Time for the Wheelhouse of Horrors with László Kiss-Kollar.

Handing out raspberry pi based devices that use MQTT to play multi-player snake and display the results to the room live. 😯
Next level live demoing.
Turning on and off the lights and changing their colors with Python, apparently using the same pub sub protocol that FB messenger uses.

The first "weird idea" lightning talk of the day by Ally: writing palindromic Python code. Ended with a palindrome checker that is a palindrome 🐍↔️🐍 #Python #PyConUS @PyConUS https://github.com/optim-ally/palindromes
Haha, PyCon Taiwan, "We timed it perfectly, it's too late to submit a talk, and too early to buy a ticket."

Happy to meet fellow Fediverse folks at #PyConUS2023! Here's what I look like.
I enjoy chatting about open source #maintainer skills and challenges, scifi/fantasy books and short stories, and recommendations for having a useful and fun convention experience http://harihareswara.net/posts/2023/your-first-pycon-but-not-your-first-convention/ .
So glad that Erlend Aasland took it upon himself to make
`zoneinfo` and `datetime` work with isolated interpreters. 🙏❤.
