A quick look at databot, a package in R & Python that aims to act as a data analysis assistant. And now it's also available as an add-in for the Positron IDE.

New Botnet Emerges from the Shadows: NightshadeC2
A new botnet called NightshadeC2 has been identified, employing sophisticated techniques to bypass malware analysis sandboxes and exclude itself from Windows Defender. It uses a 'UAC Prompt Bombing' technique and has both C and Python variants. The botnet's capabilities include reverse shell, file execution, self-deletion, remote control, screen capture, hidden web browsers, and keylogging. It's being distributed through ClickFix attacks and trojanized legitimate software. The botnet uses encryption for C2 communication and gathers victim information. It also employs various persistence mechanisms and can bypass certain sandbox environments. The discovery highlights the evolving sophistication of malware and the need for advanced detection and response capabilities.

DSF at EuroPython 2025: Celebrating 20 years of Django
<link rel="canonical" href="https://blog.europython.eu/django-software-foundation-at-europython-2025-celebrating-20-years-of-the-django-framework/">
This year, the Django Software Foundation (DSF) was invited by EuroPython to come to the event, showcase the framework and the vibrant community around it. The DSF had a booth in the community area where attendees could learn more about Django and meet maintainers.
This year was extra special: Django’s 20th birthday was right at the beginning of the conference! The milestone was marked in style, starting on Wednesday evening at Pyvo, the local Python community meetup in Prague, where we celebrated with a cake.
On Friday, the celebration continued with an open-space gathering at the conference — and, of course, another cake 🎂. For people who missed this, there are other local Django birthday events running through the rest of 2025!

Adding to the festive atmosphere, the DSF shared stickers co-branded with their unofficial pony mascot and the EuroPython and EuroPython Society logos. These became an instant hit with attendees, combining Django’s playful mascot with EuroPython Society’s identity.
The Django community was also active during the sprint weekend. Over two days, 21 participants worked on Django, tackling 12 issues and merging 4 pull requests. For newcomers, it was a welcoming way to start contributing; for experienced developers, it was a chance to share knowledge and push the project forward together.
We asked the members of the Django Software Foundation attending EuroPython how they liked EuroPython and this is what they said:
The talks and tutorials were so great and I got to witness amazing projects from this community. This was my first europython conference and let me tell you, this community overdelivered. It was also my first time organizing Django Girls outside Africa. Django Girls Prague was amazing.</p>
- Doreen Nangira - Django Girls organizer
Just the perfect mixture of catching up with people I know, meeting people I don’t know, learning new things. Time well spent chatting w/ Python veterans and also first-timers. Volunteering there was ACE, and I’m thankful we got to have a booth and birthday cake for Django 🎂</p>
- Thibaud Colas - President, Django Software Foundation
It was my first EuroPython, it felt really special! I was surrounded by wonderful people, and it was an amazing experience to volunteer at our community booth.</p>
- Raffaella Suardini - Djangonaut Space organizer
We’re delighted the DSF joined us this year. If you’re part of a foundation and would like to have a booth at EuroPython, keep an eye out for our Call for Communities next year.
Thank you to EuroPython Vice Chair and DSF Individual member Mia Bajić for reporting back on the event ❤️. And thank you to our volunteers Tom Carrick, Thibaud Colas, Raffaella Suardini, and Alex Gómez who represented our foundation at the conference. As well as to Doreen Nangira who ran the Django Girls+ workshop at the conference!

Yo @ThePSF the vendor you use for the board election ballot is not screen reader accessible. Does that then mean that me and other blind people are unable to vote?
Choked to say the least here...
