📣 #Python News:
Let's welcome the newest Python core developer: @hugovk. Hugo has been contributing to Python for years, improving our docs, devguide, toolings, and infrastructure. He's also one of the PEP editors and an active member of the Python docs community.
Hugo's promotion to become core dev was approved by Python Steering Council yesterday. 👏🥳

How can a music notation data format encode the music of a concert-pitch score along with individual transposed-instrument parts, without duplicating information? What's the right level of abstraction?
If that question makes any sense to you, check out my proposal and the current discussion in this GitHub issue:
@JulianWasTaken Everyone needs to feel seen sometimes.
Nice: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-03783-5
I hope this half-solution to a non-problem is actually gone for good 🙂.
I don't think I've ever met anyone who needed or wanted leap seconds. And I've spent some time looking!
Why did nobody tell me that in #Python 3.11, datetime.fromisotimestamp() can parse arbitrary ISO timestamps!? #gameChanger
(Before it could only parse the output from datetime.isoformat(); e.g. choking on timestamps ending with a Z for UTC.)
PyCon US CFP is still open but only for another 3 weeks or so! (Closes Dec 9)
Your tasks:
- submit a talk
- tell others about the CFP
- encourage others to submit a talk
- do an #IceCreamSelfie after your talk
Go!
@davidism The Wikipedia page is pretty good, but no, there isn't a public standard. It is infuriating that we as an industry seem to have chosen to use a proprietary standard, but alas.
RFC 3339 is a very limited subset and requires a time zone offset, so it is not suitable for a wide variety of applications.
I unravelled `lambda` expressions for my #Python syntactic sugar blog series: https://snarky.ca/unraveling-lambda-expressions/
And with that, I am done with the series (again 😅)! https://snarky.ca/tag/syntactic-sugar/
The summary post at https://snarky.ca/mvpy-minimum-viable-python/ has been updated with my latest posts, getting the list of Python syntax you need an interpreter to support down to 11.
Whenever I think "This person in the Python community is so awesome, surely they've already received the Community Service award/already a PSF fellow member", and when I looked into it, turns out I was wrong.
Then I make it right by actually writing up the PSF Fellow/Community Service award nomination for them so that they'll be properly recognized.
You too can nominate people who are doing great work in the #Python community! PSF Fellow nominations are due Nov 20!
We are #obspy, resistance is fudel.
We make code that other people use to make code to make everybody understand this piece of rock better that we all sit on.
observations are that person that operates the seismometer their own

Does anyone have tried using https://github.com/tds-fdw/tds_fdw to connect to a #SQLAnywhere? I’m keenly interested in experience reports of any kind. #postgres #db #sybase
@lucifargundam @trinsec I thought it was rather pleasant, but apparently my son thinks my face tells a different story.
Any biohackers on here? I've apparently reached a point where using CRISPR-Cas9 to gene edit myself is within my risk tolerances.
All this #PyDataNYC content in my feed is making me nostalgic. It wasn't practical for me to come down this year (due to lack of planning on my part), but I think I'm going to have to arrange to be in New York for it next year.
