lberaldoesilva/tropygal: Entropy estimates and distribution functions for galactic dynamics
tropygal is a pure-python package for entropy estimates in the context of galactic dynamics, but can be used in other contexts too. It also provides functions for analytical distribution functions and density of states for models that have analytical expressions.

My university switched to Brightspace as the content management software for our classes. I just finished creating the site for my course in data analysis & visualization. It was pretty easy to pick up the basics of course content creation and structure. I had everything for the course in a Google doc and just copied parts over to the appropriate widgets.

this is pretty crazy to me: nearly 1 out of every 15 files *ever* uploaded to PyPI was published with Trusted Publishing, which we only enabled just over 2 years ago!
that points to both incredible growth in Python's packaging numbers and really remarkable adoption of Trusted Publishing, probably in a large part because of how we were able to make it the default in GitHub Actions.
(currently 984K files published with TP, out of approximately 15M uploaded over all time.)
