I’ve released v0.10.0 of Braindrop; my #Raindrop client for the #terminal. This release has small bug fix, a tweak to compact mode, and is also tested against #Python 3.14.

- #Python is written in C
- #Perl is written in C
- #Ruby is written in C
- #PHP is written in C
- #JavaScript engines started in C, now mostly in C++
- #Go was first in C, now written in Go itself
- #C++ compilers are written in C++
- #Swift is built with C++ and Swift (on LLVM in C++)
- #C# runs on .NET, built in C++/C#
- #JVM (HotSpot) is written in C++
Yet, people still doubt the necessity of learning C!

#Python has had async for 10 years -- why isn't it more popular? https://tonybaloney.github.io/posts/why-isnt-python-async-more-popular.html?utm_source=www.pythonweekly.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=python-weekly-issue-712-september-4-2025&_bhlid=125eeff519674d797171cda3dc9858122a6b6f4a
I was laid off recently so I'm looking for a new job!
I have a decade of experience as a web backend dev writing APIs in Python and Ruby in a variety of frameworks. I'm usually the git and Postgres expert on the team, and if you leave me alone I'll start writing tests and doing security updates. Used to help run PyLadies Vancouver, now PyCascades.

Looking for: full-remote, hiring in Canada, minimal LLM nonsense

I keep wanting to write a small util that will intake a List[Dict[string,List[int|string|bool]] and write out a table. Be it `curl foo | jq '.someKey’ | tablewriter’ or using it as a library.
Using it as a #python lib would be neat but I would import a library to handle the table writing which look to handle the marshaling of primitive types to the package’s types.
Alternatively just using #go for no fuss binary output.
Ever feel like your spreadsheets are holding you back? Python gives Excel users the tools to break through those limits.
Learn to translate your spreadsheet logic into code, clean and reshape data with pandas, automate reports, pull info from databases and APIs, and even create interactive dashboards.
It’s not about leaving Excel behind, but making your work faster, smarter, and more reliable.

Ok. Time to put my friend, Jeremy's intelligent pitch phrase generator, #Perl module, that I ported to #Python, on pypi so I can use it. Apparently the Python ecosystem for creating music is not even close to that of the Perl things on CPAN.

You may have heard that Python 3.14's REPL includes syntax highlighting. π
But did you know you can customize the syntax highlighting colors? 🌈
You'll need to use an undocumented private module though. ☢️
