@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Xfce is nice, but it’s also mostly GTK. I don’t really know the answer yet. For now, I’ll just avoid anything that uses GTK4.

For my own programs, I might have a closer look at Tkinter. I was complaining recently that I couldn’t find a good file manager, so it might be an interesting excercise to write one in Python+Tkinter. 🤔 (Or maybe that’s too much work, I don’t know yet.)

PEP 807: Index support for Trusted Publishing

PEP 809: Stable ABI for the Future
The Stable ABI as abi3 can no longer be preserved, and requires replacement. abi2026 will be the first replacement, providing resolution of current known incompatibilities, with planned retirement after at least 10 years. The next ABI (for example, abi2031) will have at least five years of overlap with the preceding one. ⌘ Read more

PEP 806: Mixed sync/async context managers with precise async marking
Python allows the with and async with statements to handle multiple context managers in a single statement, so long as they are all respectively synchronous or asynchronous. When mixing synchronous and asynchronous context managers, developers must use deeply nested statements or use risky workarounds such as overuse of AsyncExitStack. ⌘ Read more

PEP 804: An external dependency registry and name mapping mechanism
This PEP specifies a name mapping mechanism that allows packaging tools to map external dependency identifiers (as introduced in PEP 725) to their counterparts in other package repositories. ⌘ Read more

PEP 803: Stable ABI for Free-Threaded Builds
Version 3.15 of the Stable ABI will be compatible with both free-threaded and GIL-enabled builds. To allow this, the PyObject internal structure and related APIs will be removed from version 3.15 of the Limited API, requiring migration to new API for common tasks like defining modules and most classes. ⌘ Read more

** Make awk rawk **
A friend online recently replied to something I wrote about awk by saying:

[…] it’s a danged shame [awk] didn’t continue to evolve the way Ruby, Python, PHP have evolved over the decades.

I had exactly this thought while working on my slightly unhinged“lets see if I can implement a basic scheme using awk by writing an assembler and VM in awk,” skwak. Which eventually lead me to start noodling on how to layer in some modern niceties into awk, without breaking awk’s portability.

I have a Python script that transforms the original YouTube channel Atom feed into a more useful Atom feed by removing the spam description and replacing it with the video duration, filtering out videos by title, duration, etc. I just updated it to exclude the damn Shorts garbage more efficiently. Finally, YouTube updated their Atom feed generation, so that the video URL contains /short/ if it’s of this useless kind. Never thought that they ever actually will improve their Atom feeds. Thank you, much appreciated!

PEP 800: Disjoint bases in the type system
To analyze Python programs precisely, type checkers need to know when two classes can and cannot have a common child class. However, the information necessary to determine this is not currently part of the type system. This PEP adds a new decorator, @typing.disjoint_base, that indicates that a class is a “disjoint base”. Two classes that have distinct, unrelated disjoint bases cannot have a common child class. ⌘ Read more

PEP 798: Unpacking in Comprehensions
This PEP proposes extending list, set, and dictionary comprehensions, as well as generator expressions, to allow unpacking notation (* and **) at the start of the expression, providing a concise way of combining an arbitrary number of iterables into one list or set or generator, or an arbitrary number of dictionaries into one dictionary, for example: ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’d love to have a Python script pushing my local CSV, too. But that’s never gonna fly, not in a thousand years. I can’t imagine that ever becoming reasonably stable without having to fix everything after the reverse-engineered API changes again.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I do my timetracking in a little Python script, locally. Every now and then, I push the data to our actual service. Problem solved – but it’s a completely unpopular approach, they all want to use the web site. I don’t get it. Then, of course, when it’s down, shit hits the fan. (Luckily, our timetracking software is neither developed nor run by us anymore. It’s a silly cloud service, but the upside is that I’m not responsible anymore. 🤷)

Some of our oldschool devs tried to roll out local timetracking once, about 15 years ago. I don’t remember anymore why they failed …

This is developed inhouse, I’m just so glad that we’re not a software engineering company. Oh wait. How embarrassing.

Oh to be anonymous on the internet. That must be nice. 😅

One of the nicest things about Go is the language itself, comparing Go to other popular languages in terms of the complexity to learn to be proficient in:

• Go: 25 keywords (Stack Overflow); CSP-style concurrency (goroutines & channels)
  
• Python 2: 30 keywords (TutorialsPoint); GIL-bound threads & multiprocessing (Wikipedia)
  
• Python 3: 35 keywords (Initial Commit); GIL-bound threads, asyncio & multiprocessing (Wikipedia, DEV Community)
  
• Java: 50 keywords (Stack Overflow); threads + java.util.concurrent (Wikipedia)
  
• C++: 82 keywords (Stack Overflow); std::thread, atomics & futures (en.cppreference.com)
  
• JavaScript: 38 keywords (Stack Overflow); single-threaded event loop & async/await, Web Workers (Wikipedia)
  
• Ruby: 42 keywords (Stack Overflow); GIL-bound threads (MRI), fibers & processes (Wikipedia)
  

@bender@twtxt.net Here’s a short-list:

• Simple, minimal syntax—master the core in hours, not months.
  
• CSP-style concurrency (goroutines & channels)—safe, scalable parallelism.
  
• Blazing-fast compiler & single-binary deploys—zero runtime dependencies.
  
• Rich stdlib & built-in tooling (gofmt, go test, modules).
  
• No heavy frameworks or hidden magic—unlike Java/C++/Python overhead.

PEP 793: PyModExport: A new entry point for C extension modules
In this PEP, we propose a new entry point for C extension modules, by which one can define a module using an array of PyModuleDef_Slot structures without an enclosing PyModuleDef structure. This allows extension authors to avoid using a statically allocated PyObject, lifting the most common obstacle to making one compiled library file usable with both regular and free-threaded builds of CPython. ⌘ Read more
