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

Any biohackers on here? I've apparently reached a point where using CRISPR-Cas9 to gene edit myself is within my risk tolerances.

#introduction
I'm Mariatta, in Vancouver 🇨🇦

I work at Google as Senior Developer Relations Engineer, maintaining open source Python client libraries for Google Cloud.

As one of the #Python core developers, I care about documentation, workflow, bots, and contributor experience.

I'm the Chair of #PyConUS 2023-2024, Fellow member of @ThePSF and Community Service Award recipient.

My pets are a variety of tropical freshwater fish and some Amano shrimps.

I love food, traveling, and kdrama 👋

Hi there,
#introduction

This is the official Mastodon account for the Python Software Foundation (PSF.) We're the non-profit home of the Python programming language and our mission is to to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers.

We also run PyCon US, https://us.pycon.org/2023/

We're excited to be here. :D

Hi all! I'm Thomas Caswell and I work on OSS.

Trained as a physicist, but these days I work as an #RSE supporting scientists working in #python.

I am the current Project Lead of #Matplotlib , a core dev of #h5py and am a PSF Fellow.

I'm based in NYC and work at BNL at NSLS-II where I help build data acquisition, management, and analysis tools for experimental scientists.

#introduction

The “access contacts” app permission is still the worst and most dangerous one out there. I wish mobile OS vendors could find a way to rate limit and monitor apps’ use of that data.

A (lengthy) Mastodon #introduction.

I'm Thomas, a Python Core Developer and Googler from Amsterdam (NL). I'm on the Python Steering Council and the #PSF Board of Directors, and I'm the 3.12/3.13 Release Manager. I hang out on #python on libera (IRC) as well. I also have #cats (#Savannah and #Bengal).

I usually toot/boost about #python, especially #governance and non-profit support of #python. A little thread with examples (and cat pictures at the end)👇

Stumbled on a new project by Zac Hatfield-Dodds (the Hypothesis person!) called "shed", https://github.com/Zac-HD/shed
It runs autoflake, pyupgrade, isort, black, blacken-docs on a project with a set of logical defaults. You can also use it with Jupyter Notebooks and Django.
Saves running all those tools individually #python #django #jupyternotebooks #jupyter

I'm the lead maintainer of Flask, Click, Jinja, and a bunch of other Python open source libraries 🐍 When I'm not programming, I like to brew beer and go hiking around San Diego 👋 #introduction

Anyone who can help run a mastodon instance for verified official accounts of scientific python projects? There is funding to pay for hosting so you don’t need to do much tech work, but gotta do everything else. Please boost!
