#publicsector friends using #python, you might enjoy Great Tables! And if in #RStats, the equivelant is the gt package. Gov loves their tables š

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"
The number of people I know who have given of their time and energy and brainpower to #python and yet didn't get @pycon travel grants, while the modern AI companies built on Python are taking multi-billion rounds, is disgusting.
This is not @ThePSF's fault, this is the fault of the sponsor community.
Next week begins my social media name-and-shame campaign, starting with blowing up my linkedin.

Somehow, a bug in our #python code - that a data checksum would return a different value for the same data in different Python processes - went undetected for six years.
hash() considered dangerous.
Whelp.

@librico I think what makes the difference here is declaring the parameter to the lambda function. That is, `lambda:` versus `lambda i:`. (But you'd get an error if you had the parameter without giving it a value somehow)

@roguefoam I normally use just a text editor and terminal, but lately I've had some good experiences with PyCharm. I don't think any particular IDE stands out as *the* thing to use, though - just find what you like.
pyenv is great, I use it as well, although it takes some getting used to having to make sure you have the right #Python interpreter and virtual environment activated. Having a shell prompt or something that displays the active environment is a good idea. I also use pipx for installing Python development tools, and typically hatch, pdm, and/or tox for project development. Lots of people these days are using uv to do all these things so you might like to start with that.
Don't install packages globally, always use venvs. (In case you didn't know š¤·)

Despite my much bigger preference for Go, Iām currently doing a project thatās forced me into Python and may be entering an opportunity that would have me working in Python a good chunk of the time.
Iām curious what peopleās dev environments look like for #Python work.
Right now I use Zed as my every day code editor and the default LSP setup it comes with - not a fan of how it handles indenting currently but havenāt dug too deep to improve it. Iāve also started using pyenv (current project has a library that doesnāt support 3.14) and am letting that handle venv things.
What should I look into to improve the setup for working on more Python projects? Any suggestions?

Today I learned: Using variables in Python lambdas is weird
Apparently they store the variable names and not the values. Like a reference, even for primitives. But if you supply the value as a default argument, it works as intended.
