Retweets welcome on this... Ideally would like to rule out low Twitter engagement when determining the general utility of the project in this discussion (I also know I have a stronger conda audience 😉).

I posted about a PyPI-like interface for any PEP-503 compliant package repository at discuss.python.org/t/a-pypi-like-…. I'm looking for feedback before deciding whether to commit more effort in generalisation and open-development - your input is very welcome!

Excited to be sharing the powerful tooling that we've developed around PEP-503++ package indexing... I'll be presenting ideas which I believe expedite the adoption of recent index standards, and have a demo of a PyPI-like interface which can be used on any index (incl. file://)

"Running a successful open source project is just Good Will Hunting in reverse, where you start out as a respected genius and end up being a janitor who gets into fights." Quote attributed to @cra, and I don't think I've ever seen anything more true posted.

A dask worker autoscaler which adapts not based on amount of work that the scheduler has, but rather on the workload of the underlying machine (e.g. imagine a cluster running on a collection of colleague's desktop machines). #doesitexistalready @dask_dev

As I'm a new face on python discourse, and given my fairly lengthy input on the PEP-691 discussion, is there a risk that the invading alien is me... 😂👽

Christoph's sage advice (along with that of @cournape) were pivotal for getting @condaforge off the ground when it came to Windows builds.

Now that I'm Geneva based this is really close, but not sure I'm going to be able to make it (🚼). Who do I know who is planning to attend?

TIL: When reviewing some code, I totally just learnt that you can pass arbitrary keywords to the class base list in Python. After all these years (15+), I'm clearly still learning #Python! peps.python.org/pep-3115/#spec…

Does anybody know of a tool to generate a UML diagram from type-stubs? Asking because I like the functionality of pyreverse but want to generate for native modules as well as pure Python. Stubgen does all the hard work of figuring out the interface, just need to vizualise it...

What would you say the collective name for the data structures which are natively represented by JSON was called? It is to name a method which produces something that can be JSON-ified. I see a lot of to_dict/from_dict, but that isn't really representative IMO.

Just wondering if anybody has tried making #conda capable of installing pure-python wheel files directly? That simple activity alone would unlock thousands of Python packages that aren't likely to ever be packaged in conda. The hardest part is then indexing them all... (doable)

TIL: You can insert a list into another list at a desired index using indexing... >>> l = [1, 2, 3] >>> l[0:0] = [-1, 0] >>> l [-1, 0, 1, 2, 3] Source: Reading some of the sphinx source code.

Reviewing a colleague's concurrent.futures code I asked for clarification on what was expected when the future was destroyed... The response was "I'm still quite new to futures and wasn't sure if this was a genuine question or some kind of joke" (it was genuine) #signofthetimes
