Working on a small #python script to generate static preview images for gpx routes. Using my latest adventure at Lake Garda to test it. Already works quite well 💪

Of course! I should use copy2 instead of copy. 😩

I've been working for the last couple of years on a new degree program at the college where I work, BA in Data Analytics. It required becoming familiar with the state Department of Education bureaucracy. But it finally paid off as the state just approved the new degree so we can begin enrolling students. I'll be serving as the program director. #PublicHigherEd #Sociology #DataAnalytics #Python

Hmmm, the thing I like about #Tcl is that you can do the whole "data is code" thing.
You can get close in #python with the shlex module.
#raku will probably get you that, too.

Does anyone that uses `click` know if there's a way to add color to the help for a given command?

Opinions sought for #Python coverage reporting! Are separate statement and branch coverage totals useful? Is the "excluded" column useful? https://github.com/coveragepy/coveragepy/issues/2081 Discussion on the issue will be helpful.
We could add two columns, we could also remove one. How do you navigate the stats to make use of them?

For a long time, a hassle of MicroPython's usual object representation on 32 bit micros has been the loss of 2 bits of floating point precision (mantissa)
I've just put in a PR to fix this, based very loosely on a paper on self-tagging floats (https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.16544). with the new object representation, called "REPR_E", the full precision of floats becomes available, but floats with large or small exponents are boxed (require memory allocations), while "usual" floats are unboxed.
Besides the complexity and unpredictability of memory use, another trade-off is that the "small int" becomes 30 bits instead of 31.
Let's see how it survives contact with reality. https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/18401
